JEE Roadmap: What to Study, Month by Month

Pick the column that matches you. Follow the chapter order, the weekly routine and the mock schedule, and you will not need another plan.

Direct answer

Every good JEE plan has the same loop: learn a topic, solve its PYQs the same week, test yourself weekly, and revise in cycles.

Class 11 starters have about two years, Class 12 starters about one year, and droppers about ten months. The difference is how much you can afford to go deep before the mock phase starts.

By phase

Roadmap by phase

Phase	Class 11 start (2 years)	Class 12 start (1 year)	Dropper (about 10 months)
Foundation	Apr–Sep Class 11: Units, Kinematics, NLM, WPE; Mole concept, Atomic structure, Bonding; Sets, Functions, Trigonometry, Quadratics	Apr–Jun: Class 11 high-frequency chapters only (Rotation, Thermo, Bonding, GOC, Sequences, Conics)	Months 1–2: weak Class 11 basics + Class 11 high-frequency chapters
Build	Oct–Mar Class 11: rest of Class 11 with PYQs after each chapter	Jul–Oct: Class 12 chapters with school, PYQs after each	Months 3–5: Class 12 chapters, PYQs daily
Class 12 core	Apr–Oct Class 12: Electrostatics, Current, Magnetism, Optics, Modern; Coordination, p/d-block, organic O/N; Calculus, 3D, Vectors, Probability	Nov–Dec: revision cycle 1 + 2 mocks a week	Months 6–7: revision cycle 1 + 2 mocks a week
Mock phase	Nov–Jan: 2–3 mocks a week, revision cycles	Jan Session 1, then Feb–Mar boards	Months 8–9: 3 mocks a week
Final	Session 1 (Jan), boards, Session 2 (Apr), then JEE Advanced	Session 2 (Apr) and Advanced	Session 1 and 2, then Advanced

Every week

The weekly routine

Day	Plan
Mon–Fri	One topic: 1 lecture or NCERT reading, then 25–30 PYQs, then 15 minutes of error log
Saturday	Revise the week; redo every wrong question
Sunday	Full mock at 9 AM or 3 PM, then 2 hours of analysis

Mocks

Mock test schedule

Start full mocks when about 60% of the syllabus is done.
1 per week, then 2, then 3 in the last month.
Analyse every mock; see how many mocks and how to analyse.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is the best roadmap for JEE?

Learn a topic, solve its past JEE questions the same week, take a mock every week, and revise in cycles. Start with high-frequency chapters if time is short.

Which chapters should I study first for JEE?

In Class 11: Kinematics, Laws of Motion, Mole concept, Atomic structure, Bonding, Sets and Functions, Trigonometry. Then the rest in syllabus order.

When should I start mock tests for JEE?

Once about 60% of the syllabus is done, usually 4–6 months before the exam. Start with one a week.

Can I follow this roadmap without coaching?

Yes. Use NCERT, one free lecture per topic, PYQs and weekly mocks, all linked on this page.
