Getting ready for the IIT JEE - both Main and Advanced - in 2026? It’s a major move. For Indian students dreaming of engineering college, hitting targets matters - but so does how you get there. Instead of just pushing hard, try planning smarter. This walkthrough slices up the syllabus while handing you a realistic roadmap to begin today. Syllabus BreakdownThe IIT-JEE syllabus is largely based on Class 11 and Class 12 topics in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Physics: Class 11 topics include Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Waves, Properties of Matter. Electricity plus magnetism shows up in grade 12 also optics pops in now and then. Then there's modern physics - kinda covers the newer stuff.Take JEE Main Physics - Current Electricity makes up roughly 10%, while Electrostatics sits near 6%. Chemistry: Class 11: Basic concepts, Atomic Structure, States of Matter, Bonding.Grade 12: Organic Chem – stuff like Hydrocarbons, Alcohols; then Coordination Compounds pop up alongside Chemical Kinetics.In Chemistry, topics like physical chem, organics or inorganics are all covered; a few straightforward queries pop up straight from NCERT. Mathematics: Class 11: Sets, Relations & Functions, Algebra, Trigonometry, Coordinate Geometry.Class 12 topics include Integrals along with Differential Equations, then Matrices & Determinants followed by Vector Algebra. Take Maths in JEE Main: Coordinate Geometry makes up around 14.7%, while Limits and Continuity sit near 11.7%. Then there's Integral Calculus, close to 10.7%. Study Plan – 12 Months Before Exam Here’s an easy, doable strategy to stick with. Phase 1: Foundation (Months 1-4) Cover main Class 11 ideas across all three subjects - using different links between thoughts, swapping and each time, keeping it plain, skipping stiff phrases, matching original length. Stick to NCERT books along with a solid extra guide per subject. Form a routine - spend around three to four hours every day hitting the books without skipping days. Make short notes of formulas, definitions. Phase 2: Intermediate (Months 5-8) Complete the subjects covered in Grade 12 curriculum. Work through exercises by subject one at a time. Try a quiz each week on stuff you learned - keeps things clear without pressure. Spot the shaky spots - then go over those parts again. Phase 3: Advanced & Revision (Months 9-12) Solve old exam questions plus try complete practice exams. Practice like it’s the real test - use a timer, stick to strict boundaries. Go over brief notes every day - also check main formulas now and then. Maintain precision while moving fast. Daily-Weekly TemplateOn weekdays: hit the books early (one hour), followed by two or three chunks of studying - one per topic - through the day; later on, work through practice problems in the afternoon or at night. Key Tips to Stay On Track Follow the syllabus closely - don’t pile up too many books. Using a bunch of different materials might mess things up for you Zero in on shaky areas: now and then, see what trips you up - work those spots right away. Solve practice tests or old exams - this helps you go faster, get used to how questions are asked, also boosts your self-assurance. Sleep deeply, grab short breaks, fuel with good food - this mix sharpens your mind. Keep going - small moves daily beat big jumps once in a while because consistency builds real progress over time. Final TipFocusing hard while pushing through daily practice helps crack IIT by JEE 2026. Know what’s needed in Physics, Chemistry or Math - then follow a clear path, split into basics first, next level after that, and finally review everything again. Stay on track using a schedule while checking how far you’ve come so far but don’t stop pushing ahead either. Wishing you solid energy as you chase this career move.
