[I][COLOR="Navy"]Dear Friend, You want to crack the IIT-JEE having good rank less than 500. At first I want to say that IIT-JEE is one of the most tough exams in India. Many students requires 2 to 3 attempts or even more to crack this exam. But there are also many students, who can crack this exam in first attempt. If some one really work hard, study hard, engage himself/ herself completely in preparing for IIT-JEE 1. Always start preparing from 'Basics' because it is really important to have a good base for a right foundation. 2. Never prefer solutions of questions before giving good attempt to the question. Try to solve the problem till you exhausted, always give a second or third attempt to the problem before moving to solution page. 3. Do not leave the question in middle. Never jump from one question to another in hurry. Lots of students practice questions without attempting it fully. 4. Always try a question with Conceptual Approach, do not just read the question and start solving it without realising the points that what is being asked in the question. 5. Divide your time well for your preparation of boards and for your IIT-JEE. So you will not miss anything. Time management is really important to do well in this exam. 6. Always keep the syllabus with you, before preparing the new topic look at the syllabus first. 7. Always try to solve 50-60 problems on per topic or chapter, but try to solve the quality problems which need different applications and concepts to solve the problem. 8. Make your own strategy to crack the exam, rather then following others. Try to learn the fundamentals of the concepts rather then memorising the concepts. 9. Always practice previous year's papers; it will give you the idea about the type of questions asked in the exam, and the level of difficulty of the questions. 10. Always remember that time is really important factor for every exam. Try to finish your paper well before time, so that you will get time to review your answers. You can also join the good coaching centre for your preparation. They will train you for the exam. they will provide study materials, mock tests, classroom teaching, weakly tests, all this will help you a lot. You just have to keep yourself updated with their instruction..... This list displays the top 5 IIT-JEE Coaching centres in India offer coaching in Maths, Physics and Chemistry and also provides with some handful tips to crack the exam. 1. Akash Institute 2. Brilliant Tutorials 3. FIIT JEE 4. Bansal Classes 5. PIE Education You also have to follow some good books, which will make basics clear to you. Dont follow too many books, which will confuse you rather. Only follow limited and selected books that suits you well... The name of some books that can help are as follows......
