NTA elaborates the syllabus to study from. This allows students to know what to prepare before how to prepare for JEE Main 2020.Segregate the JEE Main SyllabusOne step is to segregate the topics in each subject into class 11 and class 12 to allow for common preparation for both board and entrance exams. Second, the topics from the JEE MAINS Syllabus must be divided into easy, tough and very tough so that the how to prepare for JEE Main plan is made accordingly.JEE Main Syllabus - Important Topics with weightageWhile studying the complete syllabus is important, it is also a wise strategy to give importance to those topics that carry weightage in JEE Main. An analysis of the past 20 years of the papers of JEE Main and AIEEE show the following topics are important. The respective weightage of the same is given below. Make sure to incorporate this in your how to prepare for JEE Main plan.JEE Main 2020 Physics Topics with WeightagePhysics and Measurement carries 4% weightageWork Energy and Power has 3% weightageRotational Motion carries 3% weightageProperties of Solids and Liquids have 5% weightageKinetic theory of Gases carries 3% weightageElectromagnetic Induction and Alternating currents have 3% weightageExperimental skills carry 3% weightageKinematics has 3% weightageLaws of motion carries 3% weightageGravitation has 2% weightageThermodynamics carries 9% weightageOscillations and Waves have 3% weightageElectrostatics carries 9% weightageCurrent Electricity has 8% weightageMagnetic Effects of Current and Magnetism carries 5% weightageElectromagnetic Waves has 5% weightageOptics carries 10% weightageDual Nature of Matter and Radiation has 6% weightageAtoms and Nuclei carries 3% weightageElectronic devices have 14% weightageCommunication Systems carry 5% weightageJEE Main 2020 Maths Topics with WeightageSets, Relations and Functions has 5% weightageComplex numbers and quadratic equations carries 7% weightageMatrices and Determinants has 7% weightagePermutations and combinations carries 4% weightageBinomial theorem and its simple applications has 2% weightageSequence and series carries 5% weightageIntegral Calculus has 9% weightageLimit, continuity and differentiability carries 10% weightageCo-ordinate geometry has 15% weightageThree Dimensional Geometry carries 6% weightageVector Algebra has 5% weightageStatistics and Probability carries 8% weightageTrigonometry has 4% weightageMathematical reasoning carries 3% weightageDifferential equations have 3% weightageMathematical Induction carries 3% weightageJEE Main 2020 Chemistry Topics with WeightageSome basic concepts in chemistry carries 5% weightageStates of matter has 3% weightageAtomic Structure carries 3% weightageSolutions have 5% weightageChemical Thermodynamics carries 4% weightageEquilibrium has 6% weightageRedox Reaction and Electrochemistry carries 4% weightageChemical kinetics has 3% weightageSurface Chemistry carries 1% weightageGeneral Principle and process of Isolation of metals has 2% weightageClassification of Elements and Periodic table carries 3% weightageHydrogen has 3% weightagep- Block Elements carries 5% weightageS - Block Elements Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metals has 1% weightageChemical Bonding and Molecular Structure carries 5%d - and f - BLOCK ELEMENTS has 4% weightageCo-ordination Compounds carries 4% weightageEnvironmental Chemistry has 3% weightagePurification and Characterisation of Organic Compounds carries 3% weightageSome Basic Principles of Organic Chemistry has 3% weightageHydrocarbons carries 3% weightageOrganic Compounds containing Halogens has 2% weightageOrganic Compounds containing Oxygen carries 6% weightageOrganic Compounds Containing Nitrogen has 1% weightagePolymers carries 3% weightageBiomolecules has 3% weightageChemistry in Everyday Life carries 4% weightagePrinciples Related to Practical has Chemistry 3% weightageSome guidelines while making the JEE Main 2020 Preparation PlanGive equal weightage to all topicsDistribute the time needed to study it. Give more time to difficult topics and less to the ones you just need to revise.Ensure you have scheduled revision time in the planAction Plan for How to Prepare for JEE Main 2020Study a chapter and understand the concepts. NCERT books are good for this.While studying, make sure to note important points and formulas. This short notes will be useful during revision.After studying a chapter or topic, check how much you can recollect and to what extent you have understood the topic.Then practice questions based on the topic studied. While practising do not go for the solution directly. Try to solve yourself, make mistakes and then correct it. This step will help you to crack JEE Main.Make sure to give a mock test after completing the subject. Similarly ensure that you appear for as many mock tests as you can so that you can analyse your preparation levels, understand where you are making the mistakesUse the analysis to know your weak areas and concentrate on improving while revising.Be wise and Revise - Without revision, it is difficult to crack any exam especially one like JEE Main. You can only improve if you revise.Clear all your concepts, doubts. Never leave a question unanswered in your mind.Put the brake and take a break - While studying is good, it's not wise to do it continuously. So take some time off to refresh your mind before you start again. You can listen to music, play games or do what eases your brain. Physical exercise for half an hour or an hour helps in boosting the memory. Eat right.Best books for JEE Main 2020While NCERT books are good to cement your base, its advisable to move to specialized books on JEE Main.

That was a quite a detailed syllabus...On the basis of this syllabus division, below given is a list of books to help you out. Most students generally use them for their JEE-Advanced preparations. It is not necessary for you to purchase all of them; rather you must go with the syllabus and select the books that suit you the most.Physics· H.C. Verma – Concepts of Physics, Volume I and II· D.C. Pandey – Complete set of books· I.E. Irodov – Problems in General PhysicsChemistry· O.P. Tandon – Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry· R.C. Mukherjee – Physical Chemistry· R.K. Gupta – Organic Chemistry· NCERT Textbooks – Inorganic Chemistry· P. Bahadur – Physical ChemistryMathematics· Arihant Publications – Amit Agarwal – All Sets· S.L. Loney – Plane Coordinate Geometry· Tata McGraw Hill’s Publication – A Course in Mathematics for JEE Advanced· Cengage Publications – Complete set of books for JEE Advanced Mathematics(https://www.toppr.com/bytes/jee-...)You must also solve the previous years’ papers as it would help you in getting an idea about the type of questions asked in exams. You should look for good online websites (https://www.toppr.com/exams/jee-...) that provide accurate information about the subject-specific study materials and practice papers. Bear in mind that NCERT textbooks are a must since they form the baseline of questions asked in most of the entrance exams including JEE Advanced.Now, coming to the most crucial part... HOW TO PREPARE FOR THIS EXAMINATION??You have the syllabus and the books; all you need is a proper routine:In my opinion, there cannot be a universal daily routine that leads to success in JEE-Advanced as it all depends from person to person. For some people studying only 4-5 hours per day is sufficient but for others 12-14 hours of study does the trick. There have been some students who mentioned that they were not much into recreation during their preparation period and there have been others who think that recreation is important as it replenishes their energy. Also, the daily routines can range from 4 months (https://www.toppr.com/bytes/jee-...) to 1-2 years (https://www.toppr.com/bytes/jee-... and https://www.toppr.com/bytes/prep...).Many students who prepare for their Boards and JEE at the same time have to attend 6-7 hours of school every-day. Apart from this, there are coaching classes every-day or on alternate days. However, there are others who prepare for JEE after their Borads. You should make your study-plan based on the category you belong to. There is an emphasis on about 6-8 hours of self-study daily. Ideally, one should for a 15-20 minute break between every 2 hours of study. This helps in tackling the monotonous nature of studies. A small break in between maximizes the brain’s absorptive capacity which would drastically reduce in case of continuous studies. This break differs from person to person and ranges from talking to a friend to going for a short-walk or listening to songs, etc. Further, the study hours should be divided between revising the previous topics and learning the new ones. Some people revise in the late hours of night while the others do it in wee hours of the morning. Same is applicable to learning new concepts. Also, time should be divided between different subjects for each day, week and month. This subject division continues till the last week of exam with certain subjects being preferred over the others at specific times. Solving the practice papers regularly (daily or monthly, subject-wise or topic-wise, etc.) is crucial but differs between individuals according to their schedule. 7-8 hours of sleep daily is an absolute must. Talking to teachers and friends for proper guidance is good as it always helps to have discussions. The most important part is being optimistic, focused, consistent, sincere and smart throughout your routine.Always remember, if you approach a task with a mind-set that it will be very difficult, you will have a lot of hardships in completing it. Approach it with a mind-set that it can definitely be done with proper planning- Voila! It will become a lot easier to handle. I have tried it... give it a go and you yourself will feel the difference.*BITSAT*For BITSAT, I would go with Amit Kumar and advice you to practice from ‘A complete success package for online BITSAT- by arihant publications’.Hope it helps!How do I prepare for JEE Advanced starting now?For solutions, you can check out DOUBTNUTDoubtnut App is World’s Biggest Platform for Free Video solution of Math Doubts with over 1 Lakh+ Video Solution of Math Questions.

Yes, the answer is called the Holocene Extinction. It is a global extinction event that is happening now, and has an endpoint of 300 years.Just look it up.Normally I would list, I think I have about 350 references in the public domain. However, when a topic doesn’t fit someone’s personal worldview, such as, Global Extinction, they get ticked, rather than read the references.So, to all of you Homo sapiens out there, I say, just look it up. And remember the stages of grieving, denial is that stage where you exclude those sources that say it is happening, and include those sources that say it is not.As for the numeric result of your question; 300 years, the sum is zero.Here are some graphs to upset you in the mean time:Total Global DebtSet against May’s equation as a Chaotic fractal:wherethe result:Global Commerce has already collapsed. It is only the Fractional Reserve Banking System that keeps the illusion of the digital domain seemingly real. It is actually a null domain, like a video game. In this game, you are already dead, but you have a button a hacker gave you to keep making guys. Eventually, the hacked code to do this corrupts the system so badly that it very obviously crashes, at which point, there is no faking it.This is not a prediction that Global Commerce will fail, it is a clear Chaotic Fractal that shows Global Commerce has already collapsed. The Total Global Debt is 400% of the Total Global Product. Only 3% of the Commerce on Earth is tangible. 97% is digital debt. There is no such thing as being ‘wealthy’ any more. They only possess digital debt.Commerce is the reason for the Holocene Extinction, detailed below:Ocean Dead Zones will encompass the entire planet by 2200Greenland’s Total Ice Loss:Albedo change of the polesThe North Polar Albedo Change is why the Northern jet stream has dropped to the 35th parallel.The Arctic has lost 40% of its year round ice. The Antarctic, which represents 91% of the Earth’s ice, has lost 20% of its ice. Where the topology seems similar, where it was once 4 miles thick, it is only a few hundred meters.Greenland and Antarctica make up 99% of the global fresh water ice.The global total sum current loss of permanent ice is approximately 50% between Antarctica and Greenland of the 99% global scale and irreversible.Earth’s Thermohaline System:The Gulf Stream is part of that system. The Gulf Stream takes 35 years to complete a cycle of turning warm water to the northern region (UK) then drops to several hundred meters, where it takes more than 30 years to return to the gulf. Therefore, measuring surface water temperature and air temperature is in general 35 years behind.This is the reason the data seems confusing to you. The air and surface water temperature are 35 year old data. What is really happening is on the ocean floor, and Climate Change is measured by ice loss, not air and water temperatures.At this point, the thermohaline has slowed to 20% of its deep depth surface speed (slowed by a factor of 5). The result will be a sudden flash of heat as the albedo changes, followed by a global deep freeze (Snowball Earth).The dense salt water drops below the cold fresh water before delivering its load of warm air to its destination. This is referred to as thermohaline collapse, and it is occurring at this very moment.The CO2 Myth:changing CO2 emissions will have no effect for 1000 years.However, CO2 contributes only less than 1% of the Total Greenhouse Effect:Taking the abundance into consideration:Results in the Total Contribution Factor:Half of the Total Greenhouse Gas is purely due to Animal agriculture:The ‘Crystal Serenity’The Northwest Passage was once a famed fearsome ice ridden impassable route through the arctic. The Northwest Passage was considered impassible for centuries. Now, cruise ships tour the entire passage, and as one Climatologist put it, there was not so much as an ice cube in sight. The land shown here, dirt, should be under a hundred meters of ice:The United Nations charts human population path as falling into three categories over the next century:All 3 paths are devastating. If the population increases, the result will be Global Failure by way of resources. If it remains in the middle, it will only extend those resources for 2 centuries. The lower, green path is the sum outcome, 99% certainty.Extrapolating:For anyone thinking our respite is in the Earth’s oceans as some untapped resource are neglecting the fact that ¾ of the Earth’s oceans are depleted or very nearly depleted of sea life from over fishing. That is, 75% of all of the oceans in the world have been fished to the point of becoming void of sea life. Stated clearly – 75% of our oceans are dead. That number can be seen clearly on the United Nations FAO web site. Totally depleted, fishless oceans are predicted as early as 2048. [142,143]This graph shows that the cattle we raise (Animal Agriculture) is consuming far greater resources than the human population:In order to ‘eat cows,’ they require 6x the resources a human does. This is a biological factor of mammal size vs. resources per pound as being an exponential, not a linear function.I am not a vegetarian, however, this graph shows the resources required for a non-leather clad vegan biker: (Like Judas Priest wearing cotton and eating tofu)By not going to Burger King every day for lunch, we can increase the probability of salvaging some human population 18 fold.The solution is Sheet Meat. Regardless of the cost now, every form of meat can be produced in the lab, and on an industrial scale, reduce the cost to what we see now for AA grown meat. [151–225]No one is coming to save us; not God, nor aliens from outer space. If we can salvage, I have calculated bot more than a few million humans will survive, 50% of animal and plant species, but each species will be reduced in number to a fraction. The reason is that between the Ocean Dead Zones and deforestation, the %oxygen will drop from its current 21% at sea level to about 12%. Loss of consciousness, for instance, occurs at about 10% oxygen, about the equivalent to being at 20,000 feet.The first two columns are going to zero. The ocean column will also drop to zero in less then 300 years. At that point, oxygen will have dropped to 5%.Whereas the dinosaurs survived 5 global extinctions while the Earth’s oxygen remained at about 30%, the last global extinction dropped that to 21%, and they did not survive the 5th global extinction. [2, 11–15]The first Global Extinction was Thea, about 4.5 billion years ago, (which actually brings the number to 6 prior global extinctions), where a planet sized body (named Thea) collided with Earth, blowing off the mantle, which is now the moon. It has recently been discovered that single celled life was forming. The second Global extinction occurred 650 million years ago, the Marinoan Extinction. It was a Snowball Earth scenario. [16–23] The Earth recovered because the moon was about 26,000 KM (half the distance) closer to the Earth, and able to form ice tides which brought about the reformation of liquid water. The moon has since moved too far away to form ice tides, and the Earth will not recover.Share this article. Pass it around. Make it viral. Remember, denial is merely a stage of grieving. You inherently know this planet is dying. We cannot stop it, but we may be able to salvage a portion of it.REFERENCES1.Walker, J. C. G.
