While selecting the books for JEE, remember to buy books that strike a balance between theory and application. A book that focuses solely on theory or problem-solving may not be ideal. Also, be mindful of your time constraints. Choose books that allow you to cover the syllabus thoroughly without overwhelming you. Efficient time management is crucial during JEE preparation.

While these JEE books would help the students in clearing their concepts, these do not have to be referred to pointwise. It’s important to filter out those parts/topics that the students feel need improvement and put more focus on them. The mock tests and question papers will enable the student to gain a perspective about the actual JEE Main exam pattern. The performance can then be reviewed and improved upon.
