Class 11/12 students with school + coaching
✅ Perfect for you if
You attend school 6-8 hours, have coaching 2-3 hours, and can only study JEE for 4 focused hours at home. You're in Class 11 or early Class 12.
⚠️ Not enough if
You're a dropper or in the last 3 months before JEE. See our 8-hour plan or 12-hour plan instead.

Don't Skip Breaks — They're Part of the Plan
10-15 min break
Walk, stretch, drink water. No phone scrolling — it drains focus for the next block.
25 min reset
Eat with family. Talk about something non-JEE. Your brain needs social recovery.
15 min wind-down
Write tomorrow's first task. Read 2 pages of anything non-academic. Sleep by 10:30 PM.
How to Get the Most from 4 Hours
🎯 Quality over quantity
4 focused hours > 8 distracted hours. Use the Pomodoro technique: 25 min focus → 5 min break. Phone in another room.
📝 Error log is mandatory
Every day, write 2-3 mistakes you made. Review them on Sunday. This alone can improve your score by 15-20 marks in 3 months.
📚 NCERT is non-negotiable
For Chemistry, read NCERT line by line. For Physics, do all NCERT numericals. For Maths, NCERT examples are your base.
🔄 Rotate weak subjects
If Physics is weak, give it Hour 1 (freshest brain). Rotate which subject gets the prime slot every week.

Pick one subject for Hour 1 tonight. Write it down. That's your commitment.
