JEE Main 2021 is around the corner, and the aspirants’ preparation must be in full swing. It is the gateway to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
We all know that the JEE Main syllabus revolves around three subjects – Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. However, Physics is one subject that is considered to be the most challenging section out of the three. It is undoubtedly scoring but demanding as well.
How to study for Physics? This is a common question amongst JEE aspirants. The requirements to ace Physics are concept clarity, understanding the application of the concepts and constant practice of concept tests.
As the exam pattern for JEE Main got changed last year, Physics will have a total of 25 questions, out of which 5 will be numerical value-based questions, for which there’s no negative marking. This has made the scheme of things a bit easier for the students. Nonetheless, there’s no scope for any leniency when it comes to preparing for Physics.
Let’s learn some useful tips to know how to study Physics section in JEE Main 2021 and to make sure you grab 100 out of 100 from the 25 questions asked in the Physics section of the exam. Read on:

The standard books one must read should be NCERT, H.C. Verma and Resnick Halliday. I.E. Erodov is quite handy when it comes to practising tough numerical problems. Here’s our blog titled Physics books for IIT JEE preparation that you can refer to fastrack your preparation.
Proper revision
Your mind won’t be able to grasp each and everything unless you make a habit of revising every topic regularly. Constant revision is vital so that you don’t lose focus on any of the chapters and its concepts. As and when you complete a chapter, revise it the very next day.
