How to balance PCM preparation for JEE Main 2027

For JEE Main 2027 preparation, split daily study hours into three blocks for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, giving extra time to the weakest subject, a student studying six hours a day can divide the time equally across the three. Physics needs concept-first study with a separate formula notebook, Chemistry requires NCERT-based revision and short notes on reactions and exceptions, and Mathematics depends on regular problem-solving. Take past-year questions and full-length mock tests under simulated exam conditions, then analyse each mistake as conceptual, computational, time-management or guesswork.
