JEE Toppers Habits, daily routines and study tips that you can cultivate to boost your preparation.

1. Equal importance to all subjects:

One of the most prominent habits of topper students is that they make a productive study schedule by allocating equal time for all 3 subjects. According to PARTH DWIVEDI, AIR 35, JEE (ADVANCED) 2020, ALLEN classroom student, “Most of the time, students put their focus on one or two subjects and spend less time on the third one. However, this shouldn’t be the case. I gave equal importance to all three subjects and always focused on strengthening the weak topics first.”

2. Practice previous year’s question papers regularly:

If you ask for the daily routine of toppers, almost all of them will recommend you to practice previous year’s papers and test questions thoroughly. MRIDUL AGARWAL, AIR 1, JEE (ADVANCED) 2021, ALLEN classroom student said that “I started my JEE preparation in 11th standard and I used to practice previous year question papers regularly. One month before the exam, along with systematic revision, I have put all my focus on the previous year’s question papers and ALLEN’s mock tests. I have religiously followed all the study material provided by my coaching institute (ALLEN Career Institute) and advice from my teachers who were very experienced.”

3. Smart work and strategic planning is the key:

In almost all toppers study tips, you will find this. KAVYA CHOPRA, AIR 98, JEE (ADVANCED) 2021 (Female Topper), ALLEN classroom student, in her interview mentioned that “It is important to be serious about your goals and work smartly towards them. Follow your teachers’ advice, strategically plan your study schedule, analyze your weak areas/topics and devote more time for them. Do your homework and revision every day on priority.”

4. Study for 8-9 hours daily: Aspirants often wondered about the daily routine of toppers:

how many hours they devoted for self-study? ANANY SHARMA, AIR 10, JEE MAINS 2017, ALLEN classroom student, mentioned that “I used to study for 8-9 hours per day after finishing my regular classes at ALLEN. I prioritize my homework and then do self-study of all 3 subjects in 2-2 hours study sessions.”

5. Clear all your doubts:

Clearing all your doubts regularly is one of the most recommended habits of topper students. KARTIKEY GUPTA, AIR 1, JEE (ADVANCED) 2019, ALLEN classroom student, claims that “Joining ALLEN doubled-up my strength. The faculty here are experienced, hard-working, and always available to clear your doubts. While preparing for JEE, I always made sure to clear my doubts before going to bed.”

6. Manage your time properly:

Time management was an important aspect of the daily routine of toppers. Almost all of them have learned and mastered the art of time management. AMAN BANSAL, AIR 1, JEE (ADVANCED) 2016, ALLEN classroom student, in his interview suggested that “All aspirants should properly manage their time, during exam preparation and while writing the JEE exam. Utilize your time wisely, strategize your approach and always maintain a healthy competition between your fellow students. I used to take part in group studies with my friends to exchange information, resolve my doubts, and better understand the concepts.”

7. Take regular breaks:

Refreshing breaks have been a part of the daily routine of toppers as far as they can remember. BHAVESH DHINGRA, AIR 2, JEE (ADVANCED) 2016, ALLEN classroom student, when asked about tips stated that “My advice to aspirants is that you should clearly understand the concepts before taking tests. Also, don’t hustle to study for long hours as it would result in fatigue and stress. Divide your study schedule into smaller study sessions with regular breaks and do something refreshing in your break time.”

8. Restrict social media usage:

Limiting social media to only studies is another most prominent habit of topper students. ARNAV ADITYA SINGH, AIR 9, JEE (ADVANCED) 2021, ALLEN classroom student, said that “The faculty of ALLEN supported me immensely. I devoted equal time to all three subjects and restricted my social media usage for seeking information only. Rather than on social media, I used all my free time studying or revising.”
