Do not study topics that are not in your group&#8217;s syllabus.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Follow NCERT and UP Board books<\/strong> \u2014 Most questions in JEECUP are based on Class 10 and Class 12 UP Board level content. NCERT books are equally helpful for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Solve previous year papers<\/strong> \u2014 Solving past JEECUP question papers helps you understand the question pattern, identify important topics, and manage time better.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Take mock tests regularly<\/strong> \u2014 Regular practice in CBT mode helps you get comfortable with the online exam interface. This reduces exam-day anxiety significantly.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Make short revision notes<\/strong> \u2014 Write down formulas, definitions, and key points. Revise them in the final days before the exam.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Manage your time<\/strong> \u2014 100 questions in 150 minutes means roughly 1.5 minutes per question. Practise time management from day one.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Be careful with negative marking<\/strong> \u2014 Each wrong answer costs you 1 mark. Skip questions you are unsure about rather than guess randomly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recommended_Books_for_JEECUP_2026\"><\/span>Recommended Books for JEECUP 2026<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<div class=\"table-wrap\">\n  <table class=\"jeecup-table\">\n    <thead>\n      <tr>\n        <th>Subject<\/th>\n        <th>Recommended Book<\/th>\n        <th>Publisher \/ Author<\/th>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/thead>\n    <tbody>\n      <tr><td>Mathematics<\/td><td>UP Polytechnic JEECUP Mathematics<\/td><td>Arihant Publications<\/td><\/tr>\n      <tr><td>Mathematics (Basics)<\/td><td>NCERT Mathematics Textbooks (Class 10, 11 &amp; 12)<\/td><td>NCERT<\/td><\/tr>\n      <tr><td>Mathematics (Practice)<\/td><td>Objective Mathematics for JEECUP<\/td><td>R.
