Preparing for IIT JEE: Practical tips from a successful IIT studentBY: informationishere | Category: Education | Post Date: 2008-07-26
IIT JEE is one of the most difficult competitive examinations in India at this point of time. Around 3 lakh people appear in the exam with about 6000 of them finally getting into the IIT's. The preparation for this exam normally begins with 11th standard and goes on for the next two years or even three. The number of attempts has been reduced to two recently. The various options available for preparation are self study, coaching classes and correspondences. Coaching classes are now spread throughout the country. It has become a huge business in some cities. Some of the very famous coaching classes are Bansal classes, Resonance, Career Point, Narayana, Sri Chaitanya, KL in Kota. Some of them have their branches outside Kota. FIITJEE and Brilliant Tutorials also have their classroom programs in various cities. I had joined a coaching class named Cambridge Classes in Udaipur, my home town. These classes provide a variety of programs such as two year foundation program, one year programs, crash courses etc. The major benefits of joining such classes is high quality teaching, well compiled study material, regular tests and high competition levels. Self-study is the most important part of your preparation. Even if you join a coaching class, it is your effort which will take you through the exam. The teachers can only guide you. However, there are some things you should keep in mind. Relevance of what you stud is very important. If the JEE syllabus does not specify a particular topic, it will not really help you to read that topic. To get a feel of what type of questions are asked, you can refer to some papers from the past few years. The books that are used for preparation are more or less standard. Resnick Halliday, HC Verma, Morrison Boyd, P. Bahadur, J.D. Lee, M.L. Khanna etc. are generally the books you will be told to refer. Most coaching classes, however, have their own customised study material which is given to students on a daily or weekly basis for practice. Correspondence material from FIITJEE and Brilliant Tutorials is also extremely popular and useful. The pattern for JEE keeps changing every year and hence, a pattern based study will generally not help. JEE emphasizes on understanding of concepts and their application to problems rather than cramming up facts. But, before you start preparing for this exam, you must realize that this is not a game but a decision you make for your life and career. You should identify your interests in career options before you go for engineering. A lot of pressure from parents leads to students taking up engineering and then finally suffering from nervous breakdown. This is a not a very pleasant sight. Taking up any career should be based on personal interest and it is true for engineering. Once you have decided, IITs are certainly the best in India.
