Perfect!
Preparing for both JEE and NEET together in Class 11 or 12 is
challenging but possible with the right strategy, since both exams have
overlapping subjects — Physics and Chemistry — but very different
approaches, especially in Biology vs. Mathematics.
Here’s a full guide with tips and tricks for students preparing
simultaneously for JEE and NEET:
🎯 General Strategy for Dual Prep (JEE + NEET)
✅ What’s Common:
Subject JEE NEET Strategy
Conceptual + Application + Study deeply, practice
Physics
Numerical Conceptual MCQs & numericals
Chemistr Theory + Physical Mostly theory- Master NCERT + practice
y Numericals heavy PYQs
Math vs. Choose one as primary
Core difference Core difference
Bio goal
⚖️Decide Your Primary Focus:
Option 1: 🎯 NEET as primary (with JEE as backup)
Focus on Biology first, then Physics & Chemistry.
Practice assertion-reason, direct concept-based MCQs.
Solve NCERT line-by-line — especially for Bio & Chem.
Option 2: 🎯 JEE as primary (with NEET as backup)
Focus on Math-heavy concepts, deep Physics numericals.
Keep practicing NCERT Chemistry + some Bio daily.
Great if you’re aiming for Engineering but keeping NEET as a
fallback.
🔁 Hybrid Strategy: Focus on overlapping subjects, and dedicate
alternate slots to Math/Biology.
📘 Subject-Wise Tips & Tricks
🔹 PHYSICS (Common for JEE & NEET)
📌 For NEET:
Focus on conceptual clarity, direct formula-based MCQs.
Practice NEET-level MCQs from NCERT Exemplar, Disha, or MTG.
📌 For JEE:
Go deeper into numerical-solving, multi-concept problems.
Use books like HC Verma, DC Pandey, Cengage.
🧠 Strategy:
Study theory with derivations → Solve NCERT MCQs (NEET) → Solve
numericals (JEE).
Use a concept sheet with all key formulas.
🔹 CHEMISTRY (Common for Both)
📌 Physical Chemistry:
Practice numericals daily.
Useful for both NEET and JEE.
Books: RC Mukherjee (JEE), N Awasthi or MTG (NEET)
📌 Organic Chemistry:
Learn reaction mechanisms, not just names.
Practice conversions, mechanisms, and NCERT-based questions.
📌 Inorganic Chemistry:
NCERT = Must for both.
For NEET – memorize blocks & trends.
For JEE – understand logic behind trends.
🧠 Trick:
Create reaction maps, flashcards, and mnemonic codes for difficult
series.
🔹 MATHEMATICS (Only JEE)
🧠 Strategy:
If you’re NEET-focused, keep Math minimal (if not giving JEE).
If you’re JEE-focused:
o Practice daily from Arihant, Cengage, or coaching modules.
o Focus more on Calculus, Algebra, Coordinate Geometry.
🔹 BIOLOGY (Only NEET)
📘 Strategy:
NCERT is everything. Read each line, diagram, table.
Highlight key points, use sticky notes.
Solve at least 80–100 MCQs daily.
Resources:
NCERT, Trueman, MTG NCERT at your fingertips, Previous Year
Papers
🧠 Tricks:
Use mnemonics for taxonomy, functions, diseases.
Revise Biotech, Genetics, and Ecology repeatedly.
🧠 Combined Daily Study Plan (Sample)
Time Subject Focus
5:30 – 7:00 AM Biology (NCERT + MCQs) NEET
7:00 – 8:30 AM Physics (Theory + MCQs) Both
School/
— —
Coaching
Chemistry (Alt:
4:00 – 6:00 PM Both
Physical/Organic/Inorganic)
JEE or NEET
6:30 – 8:00 PM Math / Bio (Alt days)
focus
8:30 – 9:30 PM Revision + Error Log Both
Weekends Full Mock / PYQs Both
📊 Practice, Tests & Analysis
JEE PYQs (Past 10 Years) – Especially for Physics & Chemistry
NEET PYQs (Past 10 Years) – For Bio, Chem, and formula-based
Physics
Use NCERT-based question banks (MTG, Arihant, Disha)
Join mock test series (Allen, Aakash, NTA Abhyas App)
🔁 Revision & Memorization Tricks
1. Flashcards + Charts for Organic Chemistry & Biology
2. Sticky notes on walls for hard-to-remember facts
3. Weekly revision slots for old chapters
4. Spaced Repetition (use Anki or handwritten review cycle)
🧘 Health & Focus
💧 Stay hydrated and eat brain foods (nuts, fruits)
🧘 Practice 10 mins meditation or deep breathing
📴 Limit screen time – use Focus apps like Forest or Pomodoro Timer
😴 Sleep 7–8 hours — essential for memory consolidation
✅ Final Tips for JEE & NEET Dual Prep
🚫 Don’t try to master everything — aim for 85–90% strong
coverage.
📚 Stick to core resources — NCERT, 1 ref book per subject.
⏳ Manage time wisely between Math and Biology.
🧠 Weekly review + mock test analysis is more valuable than more
studying.
