Dhanushri Question by Dhanushri on Sep 03, 2025Hindi

Good evening sir, earlier i asked you that it was stressful because, just during this year in 11th grade i joined for jee and you advised me to read NCERT, but now still I'm not able to catch all and i need practice from some source, which will be easy for a beginner like me, for maths, i asked my teacher and he said me to buy NCERT EXTRACT from Disha publications, i bought it then when i asked to my physics teacher he adviced me to buy SL Arora ,but I'm uncertain if i should buy it, since a lot told it has a lot of theories and it'd be very long, Can u tell your opinion sir ? And is it fine for Disha's NCERT EXTRACT..? For chemistry what should i buy sir? I am struggling now of not getting that answers and sometimes not even questions. I found that i don't practice much, so i need your guidance for which guide to buy.

Ans: It’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed at the beginning of JEE prep, so don’t worry too much. You’re on the right track. Disha’s NCERT Extract is good for practicing NCERT-based questions, so you can definitely continue with it for Maths and Chemistry basics. For Physics, SL Arora is indeed lengthy, but it explains concepts clearly and builds strong fundamentals, so if you have patience, it’s worth using; otherwise, you can stick to NCERT + exemplar questions at first and later move to books like DC Pandey for practice. For Chemistry, start with NCERT thoroughly (that’s non-negotiable), then you can pick MS Chauhan (Organic), N Awasthi (Physical), and VK Jaiswal (Inorganic). Most importantly, "Consistency matters more than buying too many books". So finish NCERT + one reliable source per subject before moving on. Choose the books you like more and where the explanation you found is easy to read. Don't rely much on others' suggestions or advice. Develop the habit of reading multiple books to clear the concepts without creating irritation with yourself.

Good luck.

Ok sir, but I read ncert too then buying SL Arora is needed or not? Plus i also have cengage for every subjects ,what should I do ? Because i couldn't solve cengage questions in physics and chemistry, can you reply me please?
Ans: Requesting to be in touch with the subject teachers. Talk with them closely and share your real difficulties with them. Only personal counseling can solve your problems related to studies, and that too by the teacher who teaches you, know your depth of knowledge and understanding and why you are facing the difficulties in reading and clearing the concepts. Hope, you will talk in person with the chemistry and physics teachers closely as early as possible. Recommending to stop the conversation with us as there will be no outcome related to your studies.

Taking a drop is good when?when we study self or by any institute ma'am and which book is best,as ncert is best i know but for solving multiple choice questions which book is best ma'am.and ma'am I belong from SC caste.So can you tell me ma'am for SC caste getting MBBS seat for SC,how much score is required for getting MBBS seat in NEET for SC caste.and ma'am what study hour we can follow for the students who take drop ma'am.thats all ma'am my question is from you.i hope ma'am you will answer my question ma'am. But i am now totally focusing on my boards ma'am.
Ans: Hello Shrishti,

Here are some tips for preparing for NEET and improving your physics:

Focus on understanding the concepts: NEET is an exam that tests your understanding of concepts and their applications. So, it's important to focus on understanding the concepts rather than just memorizing them. This can help you to solve different types of questions.

Work on your weak areas: Identify your weak areas and work on them. For example, if your physics is weak, try to understand the concepts by watching videos or reading different books. Practice solving problems related to those concepts regularly.

Practice previous year question papers: Solving previous year question papers can help you to get an idea about the exam pattern and the type of questions that can be asked in the exam.

Take mock tests: Mock tests can help you to identify your strengths and weaknesses. It can also help you to manage your time during the exam.

Choose the right study materials: Apart from NCERT books, you can refer to other study materials like coaching center notes, reference books, etc. For solving multiple-choice questions, you can use books like Objective Physics by DC Pandey or Objective Biology by Dinesh.

Though the cutoff keeps changing every year, getting a good college for your category requires at least 450+ marks.

I would suggest don't think of taking a drop right now and focus completely now on NEET. Once the results are out then we will look after the further steps.

All the best.

Hello sir....sir i am the same student who messaged you regarding my 97 percent in 10th standard result a few days back.....sir actually before my 10th result my NEET coaching class had taken a test in which i scored about 561 out of 720....and ranked 6th in my class.....and i took another test yesterday in which i got 624 out of 720.....sir for the next test i am currently aiming at 680.....sir i analysed my paper and realised that i was lacking in chemistry.....our teacher has told that i should not refer to ncert textbook for chemistry studies....sir could you pls guide me regarding the method i should follow for all the 4 subject of pcb....and sir could you suggest some books for 11th and 12th neet mcq solving....Thank you sir.
Ans: Hi
On behalf of REDIFFGURU and myself, congratulations on your wonderful achievement in your 10th standard exams!

I understand that you feel weak in chemistry. Can you specify which area you find challenging: organic, inorganic, or physical chemistry? Identifying the specific area will make it easier for you to focus.

For example, consider this question: Which of the following compounds does not have a pi bond? The options are ethene, ethane, a carbon molecule, and ethyne.

What is the answer? How will you identify the answer.

To find the answer, did you use any tricks or tips? The question above is quite simple. If they ask something a little more complex, you should be able to respond within a minute. Since you have completed 10th grade, I won't go into much detail right now.

Another suggestion: Why don't you prepare 10 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) on a specific topic? While creating these questions, you will encounter challenges and study more deeply.
Try this and let me know how it goes.

BEST WISHES.
POOCHO LIFE CHANGE KARO.

My son got 94.79 persentile and ranl crl 81537 , OBC NCL 26047 home state ANDHRA PRADESH. Is it possible to gets seat in NITS , IIITS , Gifts
Ans: HI,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!

Based on your son's rank and domicile, he has a good chance of securing a seat in several NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs, particularly through the JoSAA/CSAB counseling rounds. However, it will require some patience.

He is likely to secure a seat in Chemical, Biotech, Metallurgical, or Civil Engineering at NIT Andhra Pradesh. Admission to Electrical or Mechanical Engineering may be a bit more challenging, but it could still be possible in the later rounds, depending on the availability of seats at the time of counseling.

For other NITs, there are promising opportunities in lower-tier or newer NITs. He has a good chance at NIT Srinagar, Mizoram, Nagaland, Manipur, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh for ECE, EEE, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering. In NIT Raipur, NIT Hamirpur, and NIT Goa, he may find opportunities for Civil or Materials Engineering in the later rounds.

Regarding IIITs, many new IIITs have higher closing ranks, which makes them more accessible to your son's rank. Possible IIITs include Manipur, Bhagalpur, Dharwad, and Agartala. In Kalyani, CSE and ECE options might also be available.

A better option for your son would be GFTIs, where he can secure a seat in institutions such as Silchar, SLIET, and GKV (Haridwar).

Encourage him to participate actively in the counseling process until he achieves his goal.

BEST WISHES.
