You're starting your JEE preparation with limited time and no proper guidance which is common but manageable if you stay consistent and follow a smart plan. Since you have 1 hour 15 minutes in the morning and 4 hours in the evening the key is to focus on both class 11 and class 12 syllabi together because JEE Main includes questions from both years.
In physics focus on mechanics thermodynamics and waves from class 11 and current electricity magnetism electrostatics optics and modern physics from class 12. These chapters carry high weightage and form the base for many other topics. In chemistry study mole concept chemical bonding thermodynamics and equilibrium from class 11. From class 12 focus on electrochemistry chemical kinetics coordination compounds aldehydes ketones and biomolecules. For maths start with trigonometry quadratic equations sequences and series and permutations and combinations from class 11. From class 12 focus on calculus vectors and 3D geometry probability and matrices.
Use your morning time from 530 am to 645 am for revision solving previously covered questions and going through error logs or flashcards. This time is best used for light but effective work like quick question-solving and recalling formulas. In the evening from 7 pm to 11 pm spend the first hour reading theory from one subject then spend 45 minutes solving questions from that chapter. After a short 15 minute break use the next hour for previous year questions and mock test practice. In the last 45 minutes watch explanation videos in Telugu for any doubts or difficult concepts and then plan what to study the next day.
For Telugu explanation videos you can follow physics wallah telugu which covers physics chemistry and maths clearly and for free. Other useful channels are nerdy creator telugu telugu medico tutorials for chemistry and aakash edutech telugu. These channels explain in simple Telugu and are student-friendly without rushing the content.
Do not waste time switching between too many sources. Stick to ncert for chemistry and practice as many questions as you can. Solve at least 10 years of previous papers and keep an error notebook to track mistakes. Apps like physics wallah and embibe can help you take topic-wise tests and analyse your weak areas.
Hello,
If you are starting JEE preparation and want to cover both 1st and 2nd year syllabus, it is better to follow a proper time table and focus on important chapters first.
Important Chapters to focus (both years): Physics: Kinematics, Laws of Motion, Work Power Energy, Current Electricity, Magnetism, Ray Optics, Modern Physics Chemistry: Mole Concept, Chemical Bonding, Equilibrium, Thermodynamics, Organic Chemistry (Basics + Named Reactions), Coordination Compounds Maths: Quadratic Equations, Sequence & Series, Trigonometry, Limits, Derivatives, Integration, 3D Geometry, Vectors, Probability
Daily Time Table (example): Morning (5:30 AM to 6:45 AM):
Revise previous day topics
Solve 4-5 questions from Physics or Maths
Evening (7:00 PM to 11:00 PM):
7:00 to 8:00 – Study Physics
8:00 to 9:00 – Study Chemistry
9:00 to 10:00 – Study Maths
10:00 to 11:00 – Revise what you studied + solve 5-6 questions
