IIT Entrance Exam Preparation

“Kisi Mahapurush ne kaha hai, success ke pichhe mat bhago. Excellence! Excellence ka pichha karo. Kamyabi jhakkh mar ke tumhare pichhe aayegi.”

This very dialogue by Aamir khan rocked the entire nation especially the youth in one of the biggest bollywood blockbusters ever -  3 Idiots. This movie revolves around the lives of three engineering students who started their carrier with the best college in India and who in normal conditions would have served the corporate world and exactly fit into the pattern that our society sets for us. But these guys challenged the entire education system and went out of their way to pursue something  that they liked even if that was against the likings of their parents , relatives and “society” in general.

    Hey! Don’t get me wrong. I am not here to post reviews of this movie. But instead I am here to discuss with you one of the hottest topics amongst students:


IIT - JEE is to get admission in the prestigious engineering Colleges in India called IITsinglequotes.

IIT - JEE stands for Indian Institute of Technology - Joint Entrance Exam.

  How to prepare for IIT entrance exam? What should be done to maximize your chances of making into the best technical colleges of India?
 
IIT Entrance Exam Preparation Tip 1– Asking the Right Questions

before getting started, it is important to ask the right questions. The first step to IIT entrance exam preparation is asking the question - Why do you want to be an IITian? What makes you feel that IIT is the doorway that leads towards your dreams? How does it set the framework for you to build up your professional career?  Now, why I am asking you all this is because I want  you to shape up your dreams. I want you to be the creator of your aspirations. No one can actually tell you what career would be the best for you. Might be you will be successful in the path chosen by your parents but at the end will you be happy? Will you be able to tell yourself that this is exactly what you expected out of life?  Following your heart is important because this will keep the fire in you burning. Only when you are happy with what you are doing you can put your heart and soul into it till you are successful.

IIT Entrance Exam Preparation Tip 2– The Importance of Concepts

The next step to IIT entrance exam preparation is that it needs a change in your outlook while you are studying. We generally study with the frame of mind that IIT entrance exam preparation involves  hard work and sacrifices tailored to get us into our dream institute. So we get into the tendency of solving more and more problems and focusing less on the concepts and theories. Practicing helps a lot but it teaches you to solve only certain types of problems – the problems typically asked in engineering competitive exams. If there is a twist in the pattern or some different concept gets involved then you might be at the losing end. So develop an attitude of learning. The entire IIT syllabus is very interesting be it physics, chemistry or mathematics.  We are able to solve physics numerical only because there is a law behind it, we are able to crack a mathematics problem only because there is theory behind it. So try to get into the depth of the theories and concepts and not just have superficial knowledge about any topic. And I assure you, all this learning will also play a vital role when you will actually study for your semesters in  IITs.

IIT Entrance Exam Preparation Tip 3 – Work Smarter, Not Harder

The third key point related to IIT entrance exam preparation is to have a smart approach towards your preparation. IIT entrance exam is one of the toughest of all exams and the very purpose of this exam is to select the best brains in the world. Hard work is something that many of your peers can also do. The only way to get an edge over them is to outsmart them through your tactics. What one requires is effective studies. Instead of slogging for 15-16 hours daily go for consistent efforts. Go through previous years’ IIT entrance exam papers to know which sections are really important and what topics have been focused upon. Try to get a grip on those topics.  Also one needs to balance his/her preparation devoting equal time to all subjects. Being strong in one subject won’t get you a seat in your dream IIT institute. One has to be equally good in other subjects as well.  Also it is possible that you may be conceptually very strong in all the subjects but you may not be able to perform to your optimum potential on the day of exam. This is because IIT entrance exam is a high pressure game. One silly mistake might ruin all your chances. So temperament holds the key. Keeping yourself composed at all times is an art which can be developed by actually giving a large number of tests. Scorecards and your all India rank in these tests will also give you an indication of where you stand. You will understand what your weaker sections are – the ones which demand more devotion from your side.
 
=> To clear IIT - JEE, you need some basic qualities,

1. Good grasping power to understand basic concepts.

=> If you grasping power is good first step is complete. you can easily grasp the concepts which is the most important part for IIT - JEE preparation because if you are not able to grasp basic the concepts you cannot move further.

=> There are so many students with low grasping power. They take usually more time to grasp the basic concepts. My advice to these students is that as you take more time to grasp concepts don’t feel that you are weak and can’t clear IIT - JEE. You have to devote more time than others. Don’t jump on to the questions until your concepts are not cleared.

If your aim is clear just work harder than others.

2. Analytical and Innovative mind to understand the problems and for application of basic concepts.

=> Analytical and innovative mind is necessary to understand the problems and for concept application. Most of the students don’t try to understand the question clearly they just start solving the question. First read the question analyze it and if some word or sentence is not clear first try to make it clear than apply the concept needed.

=> Sometimes it happens that the concept related to the problem is not clear , so just go back to theory and try to clear the concept there. In this way you could solve so many questions based on that concept.

=> Now question is clear, your concept is clear just try to apply the concept in question. Here innovation comes that how you are applying the concept in the given question (situation).

=> Note - Time is a big factor, practice above process again and again after some time you will get the confidence that you are going in the right direction.

3. Hard working nature for practice more and more problems to compete with others.

=> Practice is as much Important as to complete the course in a proper way.

=> If you have completed the course but lacking in practice, you will face the problem in examination hall. If you are lacking in practice it will be very difficult for you to perform in the examination room because time boundedness and pressure of expectations will be so much when you will sit in the examination room.

=> Practice will increase your speed and accuracy and you will feel confident in the examination room.

=> So don’t ignore the “Practice Factor” in your preparation.

4. The most important thing, Good Guidance.


Good guidance is most important than any other factor .. Good guidance is all what we are trying to provide you. So all the best for your future. Take care.

=> In any competitive exam, like IIT - JEE, AIEEE, BIT - SAT etc. two steps are necessary.

1. To achieve the level for that particular exam.

2. Practice at that level.

=> So first know your positives and negatives and then determine that how much hard work you can do then choose the particular exam for which you want to go.

=> After deciding the particular exam (Say IIT - JEE), first try to achieve the level for that exam and then practice more and more problems to improve your speed and accuracy.

=> Note that if you are not able to achieve the level don’t go for practice problems. First achieve the level and then practice more and more problems.

IIT entrance exam preparation is not a life and death question. It is a very interesting journey which involves a lot of learning, dedication and spirit to reach your destination.



THANKS. ALL THE BEST.
