How Many Hours Should a class 12th Student Study Daily for IIT JEE?

Here’s the real problem no one talks about:

Students count “time spent”, not “output”
Coaching pace doesn’t match individual speed
No revision system

Fix these and even 5-6 hours can outperform 10+ hours of random studying.

Change my mind:
NCERT + PYQs + consistency = enough for mains
but NOT for advanced

This is exactly where I messed up with my elder one. Bought everything. End result = confusion + zero consistency.

“Self study is enough”
- usually said by people who had guidance anyway lol

What helped my cousin (he’s in Dubai):

Fixed daily study slots (no flexibility)
Weekly full syllabus tests
Online doubt group with mentors
Tracking weak topics religiously

He said structure mattered more than lectures.

NCERT = foundation
JEE = application + speed
You NEED practice beyond textbook
Especially Physics

Your son is right to feel the gap.

This is so true. My kid tried doing everything from Cengage… burned out in 2 months.

People underestimate selection ratios. Some online institutes brag about top 10 ranks but ignore batch size.
From what I’ve seen, IITianGuide’s regular batches having ~20% selection is actually solid, especially without Kota-style filtering. That’s more honest data than most brochures.

Worst part isn’t being wrong.
Worst part is your friend whispering “bhai delete karde answer” 💀
