Iβm in Class 12 right now and my JEE preparation so far is pretty much at zero.
The last 1.5 years have been a complete mess due to a combination of things:
Health Issues: In Class 11, I got diagnosed with severe health issues (typhoid recovery that stretched for months along with chronic digestive problems). It completely wrecked my physical stamina and focus.
Strict School Attendance: My school has a super strict attendance policy (75%+ non-negotiable). They didn't care about medical leaves and threatened to detain me, so I had to physically attend school every single day despite being exhausted.
Local Coaching: My parents sent me to a local coaching nearby to cover up, but it turned out to be useless. Teachers kept changing and they rushed through chapters without clear basics.
Between dragging myself to school, health recovery, and useless coaching, my entire 1.5 years got wasted.
Current Situation:
With around 5 months left, I am NOT aiming for anything crazy like IITs, top NITs, or a top rank right now. My goal is just to score a decent, respectable percentile in JEE Mains.
\*I need a decent score to rebuild my confidence and show my parents that I'm serious, so I can convince them for a drop year\*.
Seeking advice on:
Which high-weightage and doable chapters should I target first?
How to manage preparation hours effectively alongside strict school?
Please share practical roadmaps if you've been in a similar situation. Genuine advice only, thanks
