Those
students who aspire to be an IITian and have passed/appearing for class X exam,
it is crucial to plan ahead. JEE demands a complete dedication and a thorough
understanding of concepts. And almost equal weightage is given to class XI and
XII. The starting point
should be the selection of a good coaching
institute with proven track
record. Coaching institutes are not a pre-requisite but past
records show that students of top coaching classes definitely have an edge over
others. With that done, school boards should be so chosen that aligns closely
with the JEE syllabus. It might save the students from dual preparation for JEE
and Board exams. 80% of CBSE syllabus is concurrent with the JEE, this
percentage may be higher/lower for other state boards. Students are advised to
show their prudence in selecting the subjects and Board.
JEE
is more of a marathon than sprints so a complete analysis on one’s result in
test/exam plays a vital role. The performance chart and other statistical tools to
constantly monitor one’s performance with that of their peers will provide the
relative standing since it is a qualifying exam and not a passing one. With
that said, it is imperative for the students to be acquainted with their
strong/weak areas.
If
one starts his preparation today, he would be getting approximately 2 years
till he writes JEE.
So a
prudent time management
is of vital necessity. Carefully segregating your time among JEE preparation,
board exam, physical fitness and mental health is what one expects from a
future IITian.
Many
a student has a habit of procrastinating and they don’t realize it until it’s
too late. As a consequence, they start looking for alternative options. While there is no doubt about
IIT being the place for technological excellence, as has been found in numerous
surveys and hefty pay packages received by IITians, the engineers from other
colleges are found wanting for recruiters thereby creating a huge functional illiteracy in the
country.
So
those putting their hopes on plan B (alternative options) are well advised to
weigh their options clearly as it is their life they would be treading with.
And no matter what your future plans are, if you aspire to be a civil servant,
entrepreneur or engineer, IIT is worth the try for your admission shall make
you a local hero. Had it not been so, why would
10
lakh students scramble for 10 thousand seats?
For
those in class XI, they have roughly got 1 year in which they have to write the
Board exams as well. Here, a complete discipline and a rough plan for the year
would be the right strategy. Discipline is needed for complete adherence to the
study schedule. Solving previous years problem should be a regular exercise as
it would adapt them with the type of questions that are generally asked.
With
everything said and done, it is upto students to keep their motivation high
during these 1-2 years. Avoiding negative thought, staying away from troubles,
keeping the body and mind in perfect order, etc are some of the ways by which
focus can be retained. Remember, once you make up your mind to become an
IITian, there shouldn’t be any turning back and it is you who has to keep
running even if the odds are stacked high against you for in the end, only the
victor shall be remembered.
