6-Month Plan · 8–10 hours
JEE Main Study Timetable
Target: January / April session
This 6-month plan assumes you have completed the Class 11 syllabus. The first 3 months are topic completion and understanding; months 4–5 are revision and mock tests; month 6 is full-length mocks only. Adjust the topic order based on your weak areas.

Milestone Checklist
- Week 4: Mechanics + Organic Basics + Algebra complete; first self-test
- Week 8: Thermal, Waves, Trigonometry, Coordinate Geometry I complete
- Week 12: Full syllabus coverage complete — begin revision cycle
- Week 16: Revision Cycle I done; mock test rank tracking begins
- Week 20: 5 years of PYQs completed; weak areas identified and drilled
- Week 24: Exam day — 12+ full mocks done, formula sheets memorised
Do These
- Solve at least 20 problems per subject per day
- Take a full-length mock test every week from Month 4 onwards
- Maintain an error log — analyse every wrong answer
- Revise each topic within 3 days of first study (spaced repetition)
- Take one day off per week for rest and light revision only
Avoid These
- Don't start new topics in the last 4 weeks before the exam
- Don't skip mock tests — they are the single most important practice tool
- Don't ignore NCERT — JEE Main directly lifts questions from NCERT text
- Don't study all three subjects every day in early months — depth over breadth
- Don't compare your progress with others — focus on your own error log
