Introduction: The Final 60 Days Can Change Everything

JEE Main 2026 is just two months away, and students are often unsure what to focus on:

  • “Should I complete the remaining syllabus?”
  • “Should I take more mock tests?”
  • “Why are my scores not improving?”

Here’s the truth every JEE topper eventually realises:
PYQs (Previous Year Questions) are the fastest and most reliable tool to increase your JEE Main score in the final weeks.

At School Toppers Manpada & Thane, we’ve seen students jump
from 40 → 120, 90 → 150, and even 150 → 180+
within weeks using a structured PYQ-driven approach.

This blog explains exactly how to use PYQs effectively in the last 60 days.

1. Why PYQs Become CRITICAL in the Last 60 Days

1. PYQs show what JEE Main actually asks

Books teach concepts.
PYQs teach the exam.

They reveal:

  • Typical JEE question patterns
  • Traps NTA repeats
  • Calculation level
  • Chapter-wise difficulty
  • Precise exam style

2. 60–70% of questions follow PYQ patterns

JEE does not repeat questions word-for-word, but it repeats:

  • Concepts
  • Logic
  • Approaches
  • Trick styles
  • Numerical formats

If you know PYQ patterns, you solve faster and score dramatically higher.

3. PYQs reduce silly mistakes

PYQs help students recognise:

  • Trap options
  • Familiar patterns
  • Question phrasing
  • Trick exceptions

You naturally make fewer silly mistakes because you’ve seen similar structures before.

4. PYQs reveal your REAL weak areas

Mock tests mix questions randomly.
PYQs show exactly where you lack:

  • Conceptual clarity
  • Speed
  • Accuracy
  • Confidence

This leads to focused improvement, not random revision.

2. School Toppers’ 60-Day PYQ Strategy

(Designed & recommended by Akhil Tewari — IITian & Author)

1. Solve 3 Full-Length JEE Papers Every Week (2022–2025)

These years match the current NTA pattern.

Each paper must be:

  • 3 hours long
  • On CBT mode
  • Without pausing
  • In real exam discipline

This builds:

  • Stamina
  • Speed
  • Accuracy
  • Question selection skill

2. Same-Day Analysis (2–3 Hours)

Solving improves you 50%.
Analysis improves you 100%.

Analyse each paper the same day:

Wrong Questions
Concept error? Reading mistake? Calculation slip?

Guessed Questions
Why the uncertainty?

Skipped Questions
Were they avoidable?

Slow Questions
Find shortcuts and faster alternatives.

This is where scores grow FAST.

3. Chapterwise PYQs for Weak Chapters

Steps:

  • Identify 4–6 weak chapters from analysis
  • Solve 10–12 years of PYQs for each
  • Re-attempt wrong questions after 7–10 days
  • Focus on concepts that repeat

This targeted approach gives maximum marks in minimum time.

3. Subject-Wise Benefits of PYQs

Physics

PYQs teach:

  • Most asked formulas
  • Standard traps
  • Conceptual logic
  • Time management

Chemistry

PYQs highlight:

  • NCERT lines that repeat
  • Organic logic
  • Common Inorganic facts
  • Theory-heavy scoring chapters

Maths

PYQs improve:

  • Pattern recognition
  • Calculation shortcuts
  • Time optimisation
  • Option elimination

4. Common PYQ Mistakes to Avoid

  • Memorising PYQ solutions
  • Solving without timer
  • Using too many sources
  • Avoiding analysis
  • No chapterwise revision
  • Not revisiting wrong questions
  • Jumping between chapters randomly

Avoid these to ensure consistent score growth.

Conclusion: PYQs = Your Fastest Route to a Higher Rank

The smartest 60-day plan:

  • 3 real papers/week
  • Deep same-day analysis
  • Chapterwise PYQ mastery
  • Pattern recognition
  • Accuracy building

This is the exact method used by 98+ percentile scorers at School Toppers Manpada & Thane — guided by Akhil Tewari (IITian & Author).

If you follow this system, your score WILL increase dramatically in the next 60 days.
