IIT-JEE PREPARATION ALONG WITH 12TH BOARD EXAMS !

/in , , , , /by

In less than a month, many students will appear for two of the most important exams in their career, the 12th Board Exams, and the JEE Mains, popularly known as IIT JEE. The pressure is already rising, and some students may underestimate the gravity of the situation considering both the exams are almost back to back. Students often oscillate from preparing for one exam to another without understanding the fundamentals of each.

So, exactly how to prepare for IIT-JEE along with the board exams, here are a few TIPS :

Get Acquainted With the Latest Exam Pattern :

Board exams and IIT-JEE highly differ from each other in the way they are conducted. Preparing for both the exams simultaneously can be challenging. IIT-JEE is an objective exam with multiple choice questions, while the board exams are subjective. Bridge the gap by assigning weightage to each of the exams. Practice application of concepts and numerical questions for IIT more, and be more theory-oriented for board exams.

Smart Planning is Important to Study Well :

Devising a strategy is the first and foremost thing you should do before anything else. Time should be your asset and not a liability. Organize your day, and give weightage to each subject. Effective time management is crucial and will prepare you mentally. Formulate a plan on a piece of paper and stick it on your study table. Never overload yourself exponentially and beyond your abilities; although, it is advisable to push yourself now and then to test your strengths. Take breaks after long hours of study and rejuvenate your mind for a fresh start later.

Have a Clear Understanding of Fundamentals and Theory : 

Have a clear understanding of the fundamentals involved in all the chapters; it is the key to success in both the exams. The basic concepts of every topic remain the same. Since, both the exams have a similar syllabus, you can understand the working of a concept easily. While IIT-JEE has more sophisticated application of concepts, the theory remains the same. NCERT books are a good resource to help you bridge the gap between fundamentals and tricky questions. Write formulas in a notebook on each topic, and refer to them while preparing for JEE.

Cover Every Topic of the Syllabus : 

A student does not have the luxury of missing out a single topic while preparing for board exams and IIT-JEE. Since, IIT- JEE requires a minimum percentage in board exams to appear for the JEE, one cannot take a chance of leaving out a single topic. A brief look at the previous year question papers of both exams will give you a hint that all topics are covered, and it is essential to prepare for everything. If you are struggling with difficult topics, consult a teacher or a friend. The syllabus for the both exams is almost same. IIT-JEE does include tougher application of concepts, but the fundamentals remain the same. Consult the official website for JEE and make sure you have the correct syllabus.

Practice Mock Papers :

Practicing mock papers and previous year papers will acquaint you with the character of both the exams. Be strict on the clock and refrain from distractions. It is wise to practice previous year board exam papers to help you prepare better. Always practice mock papers in full spirit and treat them like an actual exam to get the maximum benefit. Evaluate your performance and then work on your weaker areas. If you are significantly lacking in one of the topics, then assign more time to it and consult a teacher if you are not able to grasp the same.

Revise Well for Effective Preparation:

No preparation is complete without revision. Previous year board toppers swear by the importance of revision while preparing for both exams. A revision can make or break your chance of securing a better seat and a better score. It is advisable to revise after completing a topic. Revision is vital after writing the board exam since boards follow a subjective pattern and you can edit your mistakes. Revision will help you assess your abilities better and make you more confident. Rank your goals and assign more time to the chapters that have a higher weightage in JEE. It is advisable to write the theoretical answers while revising to get a gist of the board exams.

5 TIPS OF TIME MANAGEMENT FOR FINAL JEE EXAM PREPARATION

/in , , , , /by

Even before We  go into tell you about how you should prepare yourself for the Maths, Physics or Chemistry, you need to pay attention to this – Without time management no magic is going to help you reach your goals, which is All India Rank !

Realizing this fact of planning, we can make time our friend rather than making it our foe. Always remember – “You need to work smarter in addition to working hard”

There is a difference between sitting with a book 18 hours a day and actually studying 18 hours a day. And you don’t want to sit with a book 18 hours a day you need to put your time to good use as it is limited.

Managing your time over the next 3 months / or 2 months is the most crucial thing that you need to focus on. Not only this, you also need to manage your time during the 3 hours of your actual JEE Main / Advanced exam.

Here are the 5 key mantras  :

a) Complete the most important tasks first –

Studying that one chapter in say, Organic Chemistry is more important now than checking out what is the latest movie release or iPhone game on the block.

Once you have done the important task first, you will have a sense of accomplishment and that will lead you to the next important task.

b) Learn to Say NO to friends & family –

We are not saying you cut yourself off from your friends or family while you prepare for the JEE. There will always be that friend who tried to distract you from your preparation, tell them a polite NO!

Friends and family are always going to be around but if you lose these valuable two months of preparation,  you are not going to get this time back either. So, you decide!

Parth Kothari, IIT Bombay, AIR 11 in JEE Main says, “I knew that if spent too much time with friends, then I could not make it to IIT Bombay ever. I know people felt that I am avoiding them but the news of my success must have made them proud”.

c) Don’t procrastinate and aim for incremental improvement-

some students were a genius in a subject but they could not clear IIT JEE  because they use to postpone studying other subjects like Inorganic Chemistry Mathematics etc .

There  is a great analogy of Incremental improvement method. It is called the 1.01 Law:

  • When we put that out 1% more effort every day, our progress can grow by 3800% in one single year.
  • When we slack off 1% every day, we do not progress, rather we push ourselves to failure!

If you do not like a subject then do not waste time by postponing it, take baby steps towards studying it and gradually you will become a master!

d) Turn important tasks into habits – 

There is a well known theory that for any task to become a habit you need to do it for 21 days at stretch, and it will eventually become a habit – be it a good habit or a bad habit.

Make it a habit of revising important formulae and concepts in the morning, especially those which you studied the previous day. Follow this tip and it will work wonders.

Instead of losing hope, a student would daily spend 30 mins at night before sleeping and 15 mins after the woke up the next day to just go through his reagent notes. This was so helpful for him that he  not only topped the Organic Chemistry part test of FIITJEE but also cleared IIT JEE with a good rank.

e) Set a time duration to everything you do –

Our brain is a funny object! If you tell it that you have just 1 hour to study a chapter, it will give you reverse feedback and make sure that you finish it in not more than an hour.

However, if you set aside 4 hours for something that could be done easily in 1 hour, our brain will be slow in that process and it will end up making you take those 4 hours to complete the task – what a waste of time.

HOW TO USE YOUR STUDY BREAKS EFFECTIVELY TO REFRESH YOUR MIND ?

/in , , , , /by

A relaxed and stress free mind is more efficient to absorb a piece of information. So, it’s important for every student to take out some time from their hectic, busy study schedule to set their brain at rest and give it some refreshment. For this, study breaks must be scheduled at regular intervals. Taking breaks from studying every ninety minutes or so can improve both focus and attention.

In addition to taking regular study breaks, what you do with each break can matter, too. Actually, it’s really important to choose the right type of activity for your study break so that you can return back refreshed and focused, ready to get back to your books.

Some healthy and mind refreshing activities which a student must practice during the study breaks are given below:
  • Go outside to take a walk and get some fresh air. Even a brisk walk can be effective as it helps to make the blood flow smoother, which ultimately helps to re-energize each of your body part.
  • Stretch out your body to move every stiffened body part. When you study, you sit in the same position for long periods of time. Taking some time to stretch your muscles out can help relax you.
  • Taking a quick shower can also prove to be helpful to re-energize your brain and body. Everyone feels revitalized and rejuvenated when they are fresh out of the shower. Thus, take a five or ten minute shower during a study break so as to help you revitalize and refresh your body and mind.
  • Another prominent activity you can try is meditation. During one of your scheduled breaks, take a few mindful minutes to meditate in a calm and quiet place. Focus on some breathing exercises, which can really revitalize and invigorate the mind so that it’s ready to absorb more information.
  • Take some healthy snacks as they can help to stabilize your blood sugar, calm your hunger pangs and assist with healthy brain function. But please, stay away from the junk foods and too much caffeine.
  • Take a 15-20 minute nap. This is the best way to rest your mind and proves to be much beneficial for improved alertness and performance.
  • Creative activities, like coloring, drawing or a quick dance off can also be helpful to boost energy, clear your mind and take up your mood, even if you are not artistic at all.

Do’s and Don’ts of the Joint Entrance Exam for Admission in IITs and NITs

/in , , , , /by

Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) is the aim of lakhs of students and has a high level of importance attached to it for engineering aspirants. Joint Entrance Exam is conducted in two stages according to the latest pattern, and both these stages are very different from each other. These stages are namely JEE Main and JEE Advanced.

Due to the nature of this examination, there are several tips, tricks, and most importantly, do’s and don’ts for this exam. The aspirants must know these for a better overall performance and the entire preparation span too, in general. Here are all the do’s and don’ts that you need to know for the Joint Entrance Exam.

Do’s for the Joint Entrance Examination :

Aspirants have to keep a lot of things in their mind for a better performance in the Joint Entrance Examination. Here is a comprehensive list of all that you should be doing for this exam.

  • Make the correct choices: When you are starting your preparation, there are a number of things to decide. You need to understand yourself and judge if you wish to join a coaching or not. Once that is done you would be looking for the perfect coaching for yourself. Apart from this choice, you would also have to choose the books you want to follow, the kind of school you wish to go to, and also the frequency with which you would be attending school. These are some of the most important initial decisions that only you can make. Others can guide you through these choices, but the final choice should be yours so that you don’t have anyone to blame at the end. JEE is not going to give you many chances, thus, making the perfect choices at the correct time is important.
  • Form a good schedule for yourself: Make a schedule that you can actually follow without spoiling your health. The schedule shouldn’t be too draining and should contain small targets which you can extend on completion. Also, you must stay determined throughout to stick to your schedule. You cannot afford to be lazy.
  • Focus on concepts and problem-solving: You shouldn’t try rote learning for everything. Even for topics of inorganic, there would be logic involved in some or the other way. The Joint Entrance Examination tests your conceptual knowledge and logics in different ways. To perform well knowing concept application is as important as knowing the concept. Thus, a lot of practice is needed for faring well in this examination.
  • Complete your syllabus timely and form a revision strategy: Completing your syllabus on time is important since once that is done you will be able to start revising things. Also, after syllabus completion giving full-length mock tests will be possible. Revision should enable you to practice sufficient questions along with proper theory revision. During the last phase revision of the pure theory based portions can fetch you easy marks in the examination as questions based on such topics won’t require much time. Try solving questions in a time-bound manner to increase your speed.
  • Do lots of mock papers and practice past years’ papers: Doing past years’ papers of JEE Main and JEE Advanced will help you in understanding the paper pattern and will acquaint you with the strategy which is best for you to follow during the actual exam. A sudden change or formation of strategy on the final day might make you panic.
  • Stay confident and healthy throughout: Health is a very important factor for performing well. You should avoid unhealthy or unhygienic food and at the same time take proper food without skipping any meals. Form a schedule which doesn’t take away your sleeping or eating hours. Drink lots of water to stay hydrated as this will help you in maintaining focus.

The Joint Entrance Exam is definitely not the easiest exam but remember that it is achievable. Keep a positive attitude and work in an organized way towards your goal. Keep all these above points in your mind at all times and pass the exam with flying colors.

Don’ts for the Joint Entrance Exam :

 

  • Don’t run for a lot of books and prefer quality: This point is a major don’t for the Joint Entrance Exam. Aspirants start doing every other book that they hear about and end up missing out the things that they should have done. One or two books should be followed per subject and should be done entirely rather than doing bits from a lot of books.
  • Don’t create backlogs or let topics pile up: Keep a day per week for revision and completion of backlogs. Don’t start skipping chapters for the sake of catching up with your coaching or school syllabus. You should give proper time to every topic so there is no last minute hassle or skipping of any important topics.
  • Don’t set unrealistic targets or over-strain yourself: Setting short term goals and then expanding your work will help you in gaining confidence and will boost your speed too. It will motivate you to cover more portions. If you set an extremely tiring schedule for yourself you would not grasp much and would not enjoy studying too. This could prove to be harmful in the long run. Thus, don’t over-strain yourself by over loading and maintain a constant speed of work throughout.
  • Don’t skip tests: Many students are afraid of giving tests as it brings down their confidence. There can be many reasons for giving a lesser number of tests. You must fight all those. If your coaching doesn’t give you sufficient papers try online mock tests or join a test series. Giving tests on a regular basis is of utmost importance. Even if half of your coaching students are skipping some test due to any reason you must not skip it.
  • Don’t use calculators while preparing: Use of calculator is prohibited in JEE. However, a number of school boards allow it and hence students get into the habit of using it. The calculations of school level might be very lengthy but JEE always requires you to solve calculations using some or the other tricks which come only through practice. Also, the speed required for solving long calculations mentally or physically requires practice and is much needed for JEE. Thus, try avoiding the usage of the calculator so that you can develop the correct speed and skills to solve any long calculation too without a calculator.
  • Don’t compare yourself with others or demotivate yourself: If you keep on comparing yourself with others you would never be able to gain confidence. Always try improving your scores and fight with yourself only. This principle will always motivate you to be better than yourself. Also keep away from any friend or acquaintances that lower your confidence.

The above points are the general ones to be followed. However, there will be a lot more points depending upon the way you study. Form your schedule according to yourself and not according to what someone suggests. Add more do’s and don’ts to the above list to suit your schedule completely.

Also, since the exam takes place in two steps, if your JEE Main does not go that well, you should not give up and prepare harder to perform better in JEE Advanced. Don’t accept defeat with a single exam and keep preparing and working till the very last exam. Don’t create pressure on yourself and give all the exams confidently. Keep in mind that it won’t be the end and you can do better the next time.

HOW TO OVERCOME LAZINESS DURING JEE PREPARATION ?

/in , , , , /by

Laziness is a habit rather than a mental health issue. It may reflect a lack of self-esteem, a lack of positive recognition by others, a lack of discipline stemming from low self-confidence, or a lack of interest in the activity or belief in its efficacy.

It is easy to get wrapped up in the daily grind and avoid the tasks that require students immediate attention. Are you also one of them who often feel lazy? Have you ever experienced laziness holding you back from accomplishing your goals? We would all be lying if we said we have never spent our day doing nothing. Sometimes, all students  enjoy the state of laziness and whiling away our time and wait until the last minute to study for a test or work on a project. It is to be noted that laziness is a real grade killer and students should learn to encounter the same.

Read further and find out ways to overcome laziness :

What you need is focused mind 

It is easy to feel distracted or not feel motivated enough to do the task. Often when we have to start with something, we feel lazy. In order to overcome that feeling of laziness, it is important to focus your mind on the task. If you have a problem focusing or concentrating, you can practice meditation etc which will help your mind stay active and focused.

 Switch between tasks

Another way to combat laziness is by switching between the tasks. Let’s say, you start with Physics and practice a few numerical questions. However, after a point of time, you don’t feel like solving more questions. It might be due to boredom or perhaps you are unable to solve them correctly. In such a situation, it is easy to feel less motivated. As a result, laziness sinks in. To avoid that, switch Physics with Chemistry. Switching between subjects or tasks keeps the mind active and helps in better retention.

Take a power break

A nap or a coffee break can prove to be your power break whenever you feel lazy. Taking a small break not only rejuvenates you but also energizes your mind to study with stronger conviction. This will also relax you and keep stress at bay. A power break is one of the most effective ways to encounter laziness and improve concentration.

Remove all obstacles

In the techno-savvy world we live in, it is easy for a human mind to get distracted. With PSP games, smart phones and Netflix so handy, students attention tends to get diverted from his/her goal. As a result, studying takes a back seat as they feel lazy to learn in contrast to their active state while playing. It is thus advisable to switch off the phones, put all games to a corner and unplug unnecessary tech devices for a while.

Surround yourself with motivated people

It cannot be denied that when you spend time with people who are motivated and serious about their goals in life, you also tend to think like them. It influences you and your life and you are able to focus more. On the contrary, hanging out with lazy people changes your way of thinking and you adapt to their way of life, thereby turning into lethargic fellows.

6. Adopt engaging techniques

It is important to immerse yourself completely in the task to be able to accomplish it successfully. Engaging techniques such as visual learning, using mind maps, listening to recorded lectures or watching youtube videos on your lesson can work in your favor. All this not only keeps your mind engaged but also helps in improved learning and better retention.

Strictly follow a schedule

Stop feeling crippled because of the feeling of laziness. One of the effective ways to combat laziness is to make a schedule and adhere to it. This will not only help you strike a balance between leisure and work but will also accomplish tasks on time and keep procrastination at bay. This will considerably remove the feeling of laziness as you’ll know you have to meet your targets.

Shake it up

Exercise is a must for a healthy body and mind. Always, always, indulge in some exercise to keep off that feeling of laziness. Exercise pumps up your muscles and refreshes your mind, leaving it active for hours. An active mind absorbs better and retains the information for long. So shake it up a little and start working out.

What are the important topics for the JEE in 2019 ?

/in , , , /by
It’s almost the end of November, and you’re planning to start now. To be completely honest, it’s a tough task. But, not impossible. You have good chances of clearing the exam, but securing a good rank is difficult.

People generally study for 2 years or sometimes even more than that in order to Crack these exams, but that’s with constant and disciplined efforts, but still, the most crucial time for any JEE aspirant is these last few months.

I’ll let you know the topics in the last but first I will explain how to study.

First of all, realize the fact that you don’t have much time left. And if you actually want to clear up the exam, you have to start putting in constant efforts regularly. I am in no way implying you have to study 15-16 hours in a day in order to Crack the exam because first of all that’s not possible and secondly even if you pull that off, you’ll certainly get sick. Studying 6-8 hours a day is a good enough time to Study in a day. If you have school or coaching going on, you’ll have to reduce these hours as per your convenience, but make sure you at least sit for four hours a day.

Now once you’ve decided that, choose whether if you want to study one subject per day(recommended), or all the subjects. Start with the theory part and then move to the problem-solving. But start from the very basic of every subject if your concepts aren’t clear.

Once you get the habit of studying regularly and you feel that okay, maybe I’m ready for this particular topic, give a test on it, like you’d give in an actual exam. Analyze the paper and work on the area you’re not good at.

Given you could do these for the coming months successfully, you certainly have a shot at clearing or even securing a good rank.

Important Topics :

Mathematics 

  • Coordinate Geometry
  • Integral Calculus
  • Trigonometry
  • Complex Numbers, Quadratic Equation
  • Probability and Statistics

Physics 

  • Gravitation & Electrostatics
  • Current Electricity & Heat Transfer
  • Electromagnetic Induction, Waves & Sound
  • Geometrical Optics, Thermodynamics

Chemistry 

  • Chemical Bonding & the periodic table
  • Redox reactions
  • Mole Concept & the concept of equivalents
  • Transition Element and Coordination Chemistry
  • General Organic Chemistry

AT LEAST 2,008 WOMEN SET TO JOIN IITs THIS YEAR AS GOVT HIKES RESERVATION TO 17%​ ( WOMEN EMPOWERMENT )

/in , , , , /by

The 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.

The 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.

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.

THE BEST DIRECTIONAL ROUTE TO CRACK JEE MAIN 2019, FOR THOSE WHO MISSED PREVIOUS CHANCE

/in , , /by

The 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.
