• Start early. As soon as you give your class X board exams, start preparing for IIT JEE. Do not wait for your board results if you seriously want to get into IIT.

• Join a good coaching institute specifically for IIT JEE and not just tutors for teaching school math, physics etc. The school curriculum is different from JEE syllabus in many respect.

• School is as important as IIT JEE coaching classes, so try to attend school regularly. This would help you a lot in your JEE preparation specially in PCM.

• Make your fundamentals very strong, because JEE focuses on your fundamentals.

• Try to solve as many problems and give JEE like tests as possible.

• Keep focused and determined to get into IIT even if you are not able to get good marks in tests or school, because JEE has been framed in such a fashion that your overall score does not matter. The thing that matter is your problem solving ability.

• As JEE is now two stage process so both stages are important, prepare for screening by practicing lot of objective type questions, for mains practice subjective questions. For both stages give lot of JEE like tests.

• Take care of your health, because health is as important as studies. Without good health you will not be able to handle the stress that is involved in JEE preparation.

• Respect your teachers, parents and elders.

• Last but not the least have faith in GOD.
