thanks Neelam Manoj!
Thanks guys for providing an initial hands-on.
Krishan did write to me and i expect a contact number from his side to contact to him personally.
Still let me share my views with you all!
IIT-JEE is not as tough as it seems at first. There are some pre-preparations vital for it and then some dedication and zeal and there is high probabliity of making it!
Exam Pattern : Very important , IIT is famous for giving shocks on Exam day. I had it on 8:05 am on My mains exam! 2 years I had been solving all difficult questions from the toughhest of books thinking that there would be 10 quesns , 10 marks each , and all damn diffuicult ones and what I got was a 60 marks exam with 12 questions and very easy ones.
My morale was shocked because Chemistry being my strong subject and such an easy paper did damage my chances. LEsson learnt well! And all of you should expect this!
I have been away from IIT exam pattern but off late it has been turned to more objective and easy types than long and difficult ones!
POINT: STUDY THE EXAM PATTERN WELL ,MASTER IT!
Identify your strengths: Very important to do a SWOT (Strnegth , Weakness , Opportunities , Threat) analysis of yourself. Example of mine : Chemistry was my strength , so was remembering power and number crunching and my speed. Physics was my weak point , Maths was opportunity as I was so so , threat was over confidence and over relaxed ness and a tough Physics paper. ( though the luck was against me as 2002 , Physics was the toughest of all

).
This analysis should include your feasible timings of study , identifying how and in what way u can maximise your effots ( I used to study in nights because that is most calm and concentrating period).
Books/Materials : Remember to be not moved away by flood of books , keep it simple , a couple of sources for eah topic is good enough ( Ideally it should be one study material (VMC , FIITJEE , BRIALLIANTS(Please note : However old they are : Brilliant Tutorials are very good at picking up themes of coming Exam ( In all the institutes that were offering coacing in 2002 , they were the only one to predict an easy and lengthy kind of paper than short and difficult ones. I used to laugh at their test series

saying it was all too easy but was remembering them all day long at the Mains exam day

) ).
How to prepare : IIT is a couple of year thingy than a 6 month one. do study more , understand the topic more than anything else. Again personal favouritism comes more important , I was always a deep lucid theory reader and books were best friends , some people just study notes and practics a lot! whatever suits u!

Though would advise always read a detailed theory book on the topic at least the big ones like stoichiometry , mechanics , DE , Calculus , functions. Understanding basics is far more important , Remember that in our calculus coaching , our teacher taught us functions for 8 letures and them finished DE , Differentiation , Integration , Areas in one lecture each , but we were so strong on functions that come what may we were good!
Bottom Line : One book and One notes book.
Tests : Do a lot , test series from at least a couple of sources , is ideal. do previous year question papers , practice a lot considering time limitations in mind. Never give yourself complete time , Always give yourself 90% of time allotted. On the D-day you will waste at leazst 10% of time on nervousness , filling things carefully , tension , stress etc !
Class 12th , Other NITs : Very important , do not just ruin everything else for IIT and remember whatever you learn at school is also very important , infact these days the IIT pattern has moved towards the Boards syllabus and standard a lot! And these things will help u in any case in life. IIT is at least 5% luck , so never forget to enroll into AIEEE , DCE etc as well ( I did not but still I adivse).
Well thats pretty much it! Coaching or No Coaching , a dedicated efforts will do it!
