JEE Advanced study plan
JEE Advanced · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 8 hours per week
Physics & Chemistry

Write a single-page formula sheet for mechanics and mole concept, then reproduce it from memory in under 10 minutes with no omissions.
Your checkpoint
A timed 90-minute sectional paper (15 Physics + 15 Chemistry, mixing single-correct, multiple-correct and numerical-value items, negative marking on) that is scored, then fully re-solved, with every wrong item tagged to one error cause (concept, algebra, misread, timing).
Physics & Chemistry

Your checkpoint
Two 45-minute topic tests (one Physics, one Chemistry) written under exam timing at ≥70% accuracy, with every miss converted into a one-line revision card, producing a deck of at least 15 cards.
Physics & Chemistry
Analyse charged-particle motion in magnetic fields and solve 30 problems on force on current-carrying conductors, galvanometers and magnetic dipoles.

Apply the Nernst equation, Faraday's laws and integrated rate laws to 25 electrochemistry and chemical kinetics numericals, including order determination from data tables.
Your checkpoint
A handwritten 40-item error log for the week's topics; every item is re-attempted 72 hours later with no notes and must reach ≥90% correct before the week closes.
Physics & Mathematics
Solve 35 ray-optics and wave-optics problems (mirrors, lenses, prisms, optical instruments, YDSE, diffraction, polarisation) using sign conventions consistently.
Solve 25 modern-physics problems on the photoelectric effect, Bohr model, X-rays, radioactivity, and nuclear binding energy.
Evaluate limits using standard forms, expansions and L'Hôpital's rule, and classify continuity/differentiability of piecewise and functional-equation definitions.
Differentiate implicit, parametric, inverse-trigonometric and composite functions, then apply the results to tangents, normals and maxima–minima (30 items).
Your checkpoint
A full-length 3-hour Paper-1-pattern mock on the CBT interface under strict timing, with section-wise scores recorded and the five weakest chapters listed with a rank order.
Mathematics
Evaluate indefinite and definite integrals using substitution, by parts, partial fractions and reduction formulae, and exploit symmetry properties of definite integrals across 40 problems.
Solve area-under-curve and differential-equation problems (variable separable, homogeneous, linear, exact) and check each answer by differentiation.
Derive standard results for parabola, ellipse and hyperbola, then solve 30 locus, tangent, normal and chord-of-contact problems using parametric forms.
Drill 60 standard integrals plus derivative and inverse-trigonometric results to automatic recall in daily 20-minute closed-book sprints.
Your checkpoint
A closed-book 60-minute calculus-and-conics test (20 JEE Advanced-pattern items) scored at ≥65%, with every skipped item reworked within 48 hours and the reason for skipping written down.
Mathematics & Chemistry
Solve 35 algebra problems spanning quadratics, complex numbers, sequences and series, binomial theorem, and permutations–combinations with constraint handling.
Compute scalar and vector triple products, and solve 25 three-dimensional geometry problems on lines, planes, shortest distance and angles between them.
Predict products for 40 organic reactions covering electrophilic addition, SN1/SN2/E1/E2 competition, and carbonyl plus amine transformations, justifying each with arrow-pushing.
Apply conditional probability, Bayes' theorem and the binomial distribution to 25 problems, stating the sample space before computing.
Your checkpoint
A substrate → reagent → product → mechanism reaction map covering 60 named organic transformations, self-tested by random recall at ≥85% correct with no prompts.
Physics & Mathematics
Re-solve every entry in the Physics error log and close at least 80% of the tagged gaps without consulting notes or solutions.
Re-solve the Mathematics error log and attach a two-line fix rule to every item that fails a second time.
Complete three 45-minute sectional sprints each in Physics and Mathematics while holding negative marking to no more than one wrong answer per ten attempts.
Reproduce the combined Physics and Mathematics formula sheet from memory in 25 minutes at ≥90% recall.
Your checkpoint
A chapter-wise weakness-closure report listing original error cause, re-test score and a pass/fail flag per chapter; only chapters flagged pass are removed from week 8 revision.
Chemistry & Mathematics
Solve 40 coordination-chemistry and periodicity problems covering crystal-field splitting, CFSE, magnetic moment, colour, and s/p/d-block trends.
Solve 25 inorganic and organic recall items on biomolecules, polymers, and named reagents, stating the distinguishing test for each identification question.
Sit two full-length mocks (Paper-1 pattern then Paper-2 pattern) on separate days with strict timing and CBT-interface practice.
Compress the whole syllabus into a 40-item final revision list, one line per weak concept, and re-derive each from scratch in under two minutes.
Your checkpoint
A two-mock average of ≥55% overall, with every unattempted question classified as time, concept, or careless error, and a written plan for the final 48 hours based on that classification.
Milestones
Week 2: A scored 25-question timed diagnostic exists for each of the three domains, with per-chapter accuracy recorded; the lowest three chapters in each domain are named and scheduled into weeks 3–8.
Week 4: One full-length Paper-1-pattern mock completed under exam conditions, with section-wise and chapter-wise scores tabulated and compared against the week-2 diagnostic to confirm the front-loaded Physics and Chemistry blocks are paying off.
Week 6: At least 80% of the JEE Advanced syllabus in each domain has been touched at least once in a timed or written exercise; any untouched block is explicitly assigned to weeks 7–8 rather than left to chance.
Week 8: Two consecutive full-length mocks land within ±5% of each other, and at least 85% of items in the cumulative error log are re-solved correctly on a final blind re-attempt.
