AT LEAST 2,008 WOMEN SET TO JOIN IITs THIS YEAR AS GOVT HIKES RESERVATION TO 17% ( WOMEN EMPOWERMENT )
/in JEE Advanced, JEE Main, Matrix JEE Academy, Media, News /by Matrix AcademyThe women-only seats, or supernumerary seats, were introduced in 2018 in order to increase the number of girl students in IITs, which continues to be heavily skewed in favour of boys .
Mandatory 946 seats will be available exclusively for women who want to join IITs in the 2019 academic session as the government plans to increase the seats for women in the country’s top engineering institutions by bumping up the number of women-only seats by 167 seats — from 14 per cent (779) in 2018 to 17 per cent (946). Going by the recent trend, the number of women IITians can be speculated to be no less than 2,008.
In 2018, 1,062 girls made it to the IITs through the common merit list in the JEE (Advanced). But the government created 14 per cent, or 779 supernumerary seats, which took the number of girls in the IITs to 1,841, the highest so far. A total of 12,058 seats were on offer in the 23 IITs in 2018.
Sources in the Ministry of Human Resource Development said the success of supernumerary seats had prompted the government to increase it to 17 per cent in 2019.
The government is hoping that the creation of around 900 girl-only seats will bring a remarkable change in the gender disparity on IIT campuses.
“The plan was to take the total number of girls to 20 per cent in B Tech programmes in IITs by 2020-21 but we are targeting to achieve this in 2019 itself,” the official said.
A committee under IIT Mandi director Timothy A Gonsalves, which was formed to recommend ways to increase the enrollment of girls in undergraduate programmes at the premier technology institutes, had suggested creating supernumerary seats for women, which was accepted by the Centre .
In 2017, the girls’ admission percentage in B.Tech programmes was a mere 9.3 . But officials in the IITs said this year the presence of women was ensured in even those streams that were earlier shunned by them.
“While girl students often prefer computer, electric and electronic engineering to civil and mechanical, this year they were given more options,” a senior Joint Seat Allocation Authority said.
Dheeraj Sanghi, a senior professor at IIT Kanpur, said while creating women-only seat was “okay” to correct the gender imbalance at IITs, the authorities should also look at larger interventions such as ending gender biases at the examination level.
“What the government is telling girls is that while you cannot crack the entrance test, we will offer you seats through reservation. But why not end gender bias in the entrance test itself, making it easier for them to qualify?” he asked.

/in JEE Advanced, JEE Main, Matrix JEE Academy /by Matrix AcademyThe Present competitive world facing a very big challenge in terms of opportunities ,because opportunity knocks only once .Now how you use that opportunity is completely your choice. You can either waste time on crying over the spilled milk or can start a new journey with a better study plan and a fresh approach.
JEE is one of the toughest and most competitive exams in India. Every year above 12 lakh students appear for JEE Main out of only 2 lakh students qualify for JEE Advanced. Similarly, this year also, out of 14 lakh aspirants only 2 lakh could clear JEE Main 2018.
Feeling negative is common after bad result but making it part of your life is not. Achievers work hard and get out of it while losers keep complaining. There is a world full of exciting opportunities waiting for you to grab them. Just go and grab them!
Here are the important points you need to do to start preparation of JEE Main 2019.
Initiate with a New Approach :
To get qualify in JEE Main 2019, it is very important that you start with a new approach. As you need to go through the whole syllabus once again, you might feel boring at times. To avoid that boredom, you can opt for different learning mediums. For instance, if you studied just from books in your previous attempt, you can enroll for online courses offering live interactive classes and recorded video lectures. This will not just keep you motivated but will also boost your interest level in studies.
Learn and Evaluate your Mistakes :
The first step in JEE Main 2019 preparation for the second attempt is to look back and find out the mistakes that became a hindrance to your success. It could be anything from your timetable to the selection of coaching institute, learning techniques, and revision.
Common mistakes in JEE Main 2018 preparation that you should avoid when preparing for JEE Main 2018
Time management – If you think that you couldn’t manage your study time well due to a lot of traveling, going digital this time is the right choice.
Doubts – There are students who hesitate to ask their doubts in the class and skip the topics completely. If you also avoid asking doubts in front of other students, you can go and ask your doubts direct from teachers.
Revision – No matter how intelligent someone is, revision is essential to perform well in the exam. You can make the process easy and effective by revising the syllabus and important topics by watching videos.
Wrong learning style – Every student has own learning style like audio, visual, verbal, physical etc. Having knowledge of your learning style helps you choose the most suitable technique. Based on your learning style, you can either choose one or go for blended learning like live interactive videos, e-books, webinars and printed study material.
Start learning through digital mediums:
If you had opted for classroom coaching for JEE Main preparation, this is the time to bring a few changes in your learning mediums. This is the time to enroll for online JEE course at Matrix Digital learning portal and start preparation of JEE Main 2019 conveniently. It will not just help you save a lot of time wasted on daily travel but will also help you make a better study plan by utilizing those precious hours.
Focus on improvement and smart work
As you have already covered complete JEE Main syllabus in your previous attempt, there is no use of wasting time again on the same thing. To ensure that you don’t get stuck on the same topics or subjects again, enroll at digital program for subject-specific JEE course . You can buy courses in recorded video lectures to learn the selected topics. In your second attempt for JEE Main, you should be more focused on smart work than hard work.
Consider quality study material
To ace JEE Main 2019, you should look for the best study material, which is not just limited to the course books. Well-curated study material includes printed books, e-books, recorded video lectures and test series for better result .
Stay Positive
Losing positivity and confidence is a mistake most of the students make after knowing that they couldn’t crack JEE Main. This makes the situation worse for them by giving extra stress and pressure of performing better in JEE Main 2019. Instead of thinking of the previous result, you should focus on your goal of cracking JEE Main 2019.
So, don’t feel dejected as this is not the end of the world. Take a time-out and start a new journey to come out with flying colors in your second attempt. By correcting your mistakes and getting right guidance, you can really make it big.
