JEE is a tough competitive exam but coaching do come handy when it comes to understanding basic concepts. And when the coaching is online, you can just sit back and study from your home. It’s easy, free and very effective. I would recommend online coaching for JEE aspirants.

I have to prepare for JEE (main) 2014 for B.ARCH/B. PLANNING i.e. Paper-2. Please clarify that the Mathematics books mentioned above will cover the course and will be sufficient to prepare the exam. Further what books you will recommend for aptitude test and drawing test for this programme.
Hi JK,
For JEE(main) 2014 B.Arch, you can refer A Complete Self Study Guide for B.Arch : 2014 Entrance Examination. This is a really nice book. This book covers architecture aptitude, analytical reasoning, drawing aptitude and mathematics along with previous years solved papers for a better understanding of the exam structure and pattern.
Currently no books availble for drawing and aptitude test., you can enhance your drawing by some pdf ebooks and for aptitude you can use wikipedia search all topics related to architecture like history, building history, mugals buildings, taj, world famous architects and their works etc…. There is a self study guide availble by arihant publication “a complete self study guide for b.arch” by PK Mishra isbn 978-93-5094-710-4.. It covers all aspects of the architecture aptitude test… For mathematics ML Khanna IIT Mathematics is best…

For revision ARIHANT or MTG in 40 days is to be used
Kindly advise how the timetable for MAINS studies should be
Should most of the topics be completed by June 15 so that in 12th concentration has to be also on Board exams as it is very important now to score well in Boards
