There are lot of YouTube videos. At some point though, you will have to take tuitions, not formal coaching, because the concepts get hard and problems get tough. Study NCERTs thoroughly and do at least 10 years previous papers to see how much you understand. There is no requirement of coaching as such, it is just a hype but you will definitely need external guidance sometimes.

I must say that it's a big task to crack IIT JEE exam without coaching. Starting an early preparation of the exam is the first step to crack JEE Main. Self-study is often underestimated in the scenario where the hype of coaching institutes is increasing day by day. Analyze your strengths and weaknesses to ensure a better strategic plan for JEE Main preparation. Knowing the JEE Main syllabus with weightage will let you segregate the important topics on which you can focus more. Try solving previous year question papers and mock test papers to keep a check on your preparation level. Make it a daily practice to solve papers. Since you are

IN the very beginning, I would like to share that according to a study, in the year 2013, there were only 52% students who had cleared JEE Mains/Advanced, had not got any type of formal coaching. It will be required to start of Preparation way early since you have to manage everything on your own independently. The correct time for anyone to start with the preparation will be as soon as you step into class 11. This way you will have ample time to correct your mistakes and improve. Before you move on to the preparation, it is important to understand the structure of the exam. You need to be fully focused and concentration during self-studies. Get familiar with the exam pattern and syllabus well. Solve as many mock and previous years' papers as you could. Clear yourself on each little doubt. A very important tool for you will be time management. Even a simple tool like Google Calendar can be used to allot time or days to chapters/sections. Confidence can be the key to you. Taking small steps and following the right strategies can make a huge difference. From your study pattern and reference books to the way you solve the paper, all can go a long way in helping you achieve your IIT dream. Here are a few tips you should follow in your preparation, which if done properly, can be game-changers. Practice at home is the most effective when you test yourself. Also, develop a smart strategy while solving the papers. After you are done with your NCERT studies, move on to reference books. These books cover topics from the basic to advanced-level application-based questions. I guess this is a myth around that one cannot crack JEE Main without coaching. Rather, I personally doubt whether these coaching actually gives enough and required polish to the Engineering aspirants or not! Some of the past years' JEE Main Toppers too believe that coaching might not be necessary to crack an exam like JEE Main. Amplify your revision by solving practice questions on the topic from reference books instead. Tips in short:
1. Time Management. Without Time Management, No Magic Can Happen
2. Follow a proper schedule
3. Understand the Syllabus and Exam Pattern
4. Study concepts, solve problems, cross-check solutions
5. Solve previous years' papers
All the best!

Stick with NCERT books and Cengage/Arihant books, if required. For concept clearance, you can go through YouTube. Practice last few years' problems and if possible, join some test series of good coaching institutes for JEE Mains.

Hello,
Cracking JEE Mains exam is a very difficult and challenging task for every student. You need to study hard for this. The best way to prepare for the exam is solving previous year question papers and taking online mock tests. This will give you an idea about the pattern and difficulty level of the questions.

This will help you in your last minute preparation. Study at least 6-7 hours daily or more. Give your last 30-45 minds to the revision da

Hi,
You can prepare for any competitive exam without any coaching. For JEE Mains, you need to deeply prepare all the NCERT (PCM) books of 11th and 12th standard, after that go through last year's question papers for practice, coaching is helpful for guidance but at the end you need to prepare by yourself only.

If you have stamina to study at least 6-8 hours then sure you will get rid of JEE Main. However, you have to solve previous year's papers and NCERT book problems. It is difficult but for guidance, you can take the help of your teachers too. You can also use apps like Unacadmy, etc.
