How to Prepare for JEE when you have only 4 months in hand......
Then he/she always knew that this time was going to come. So, nothing much unexpected!
O.K. So, let's try to analyze our situation. We have 4 months in hand that is some 120 odd days to ourselves.
Let the aspirants be assured that this is more than the time required.
It is the beginning of December; therefore the student would have covered at least 75 percentage of the prescribed course for the J.E.E. at least once by now, be it through self study or through some coaching. So, by now, the aspirant has covered most part of the syllabus. It's the brush-up time.
Now, we have two tasks.
Task One: To brush up and keep brushing up whatever has been learnt so far.
Task Two: To add the extra 25 percent of the course that is left.
Let us decide that we need to cover up the entire syllabus' revision in 75 days. The aspirant would have been taking tests and revising different topics at different times now and then. But, this time, let us assume this is your LAST time.
Therefore this time, the student should go through all the reading material/notes that he/she has been following all year long, THOROUGHLY not missing absolutely anything.
First of all, divide your vast syllabus into everyday task. Cover at least one heavy topic each day. When we talk about covering, we mean EVERYTHIING you need to know about that topic in order to be able to solve the problems, including notes, examples, some problems that you came across while studying it for the first time.
If possible, add a small topic to some days when one topic is not very big. The idea is not to let yourself excessively loose, nor should your time-table be very squeezed. This division of each day syllabus is the crucial-most step of the bigger plan. Keep it such, so that the pressure is JUST RIGHT.
It would be better if you would mix the subjects that is do Physics for two-three days, then, may be shift to some topic of Chemistry or Math. This would help keeping things not-exhausting.
Now, once you have brushed up a topic, solve some random problems from a book specifically on that topic.
Now the most important task during all this is to mark the examples or formulae you find difficult to remember.
REMEMBER, these should not be too large in number. Most of them should be covered considering this as THE LAST revision.
All this time, when we have been brushing up the older topics, remember that the newer topics that are now being taught need to be kept track of.
During all this, try to regularly take tests on weekly or biweekly basis, and only one thing needs to be made sure that you do the topics you have revised till the test date, well. So, by the end of this phase one, your syllabus is complete for once and for all!
NOW, EVEN IF ONE ASKS YOU TO WRITE THE EXAMINATION THE 76th DAY ITSELF, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO AT LEAST SAY "YES".
Remember that even if this period goes to 80 days, it is perfectly fine.
Alright now, we have around a month (+ 10 days) left. This needs to be utilized in practicing problems, on all topics and within time limit. Solve, two test papers each day within time and analyze your errors that may have stayed after Phase one.
Every day, the idea is to exactly point them out and GET RID OF THEM. It can be a forgettable formula, a sign convention mistake, an individually weak topic particularly for you or anything for that matter. JUST GET RID OF IT.
During Phase Two, try to stay in continuous touch with the topics like inorganic and organic chemistry and other such topics.
After Phase Two, if you have followed the routine sincerely enough, you are ready for any Engineering Examination.
This Phase two has to be summed up 2-3 days before the Examination. For these last days, just take enough sleep, and take healthy food.
Lastly, this be mentioned that whatever strategy has been suggested above is just one way to prepare. There are a lot of them and one can follow any of them.
P.S.: The views expressed here are author's own views and all have the right to have their own opinions about these; and to follow these or not. One may have his/her own strategy and opinions.
IITJEE Simplified - How to practice problems?
There are many students who are spending lot of time on problem solving but even though they are not able to score in exam. This is because they don’t remember ideas/tricks of many questions in exam which they should have solved. This happens because while doing problem solving, they learn things but they do nothing to retain them in their memory i.e. they solve problems but don’t revise them. To repeat, they need to retain. To retain, they should learn/memorize the ideas/tricks of the questions, To learn/memorize, they need to put efforts and time as well as they should follow the correct approach.

Dos and Don'ts For Joint Entrance Examination(JEE)
Disclaimer: Though I have got a good rank of 96, my beginning (from X) was pretty ordinary - so I expect this guide to help the majority of students. Also, since I'm not a qualified instructor, I can only give my personal point of view.
1] Regular homework and studies. I mean, really regular, as in never-failed-to-complete-my-homework-on-time type regular.
2] Relaxation and timepass. Yeah. Really. All study and no play makes Jack a nut-case. But don't overdo it - 1 hour at the maximum per day.
3] Isolation. The more friends you have, the more possibility of you getting distracted. Keep a safe distance, avoid most parties and hangouts. The lesser, the better.
4] Taking tests. Join a test series, maybe two, or as many you want - I recommend FIITJEE. Constant tests help you practice and prepare your mind for the JEE pattern. If the tests are to be given at home, do them at the proper time in an isolated room.
5] Finish your syllabus by January, if you are a fresher. If you are dropping, do make sure you complete the syllabus.
6] Keep a positive attitude. Approach new topics with interest, not with an another-topic-to-mug attitude. Do some research on wikipedia, try to find applications in day-to-day life. This will help create interest in the topic and improve your understanding as an engineer.
7] Mental and physical exercises, like meditation and yoga. For further details, contact spideyunlimited.
AND FINALLY, THE MOST IMPORTANT:
8] Attend all lectures, as in perfect 100% attendance. Quite a no-brainer, this one.
Don'ts
1] Overstress - the deadliest killer is sighted often among JEE students.
2] Procrastinate. As in, put off tomorrow what you can do today.
3] Hang out and waste time.
4] Worry too much. This is a major problem I've seen. People worry so much about classes / test series/ correspondence / teachers / batches / quality / notes / books / college / friend / girlfriend / food / hostel / accomodation .. u get the point... If I were to say it bluntly - just shut up, open the book, and start doing the damn problems!!
5] Lose confidence, or be over confident. IF you lose confidence, go to the forums, we can help you. If you are over confident, just contact me Just joking... Remember that there may be (will be) students out there smarter than you. This applies even if you are the topper of any institute.
6] Sleep less / eat less. The body is like any machine, and needs proper rest. Regular sleep of atleast 7 hours is a must.

Madras and Roorkee, 20 National Institute of Technologies (NITs), couple of IIITs and several private institutes are engaged in the task of grooming engineers.The institutions in India which have created istinguished niche among world academia are.
IITs in India
Development of IITs
* The foundation for the IITs in India was laid in 1946 by the Executive Council of Viceroy, Sir Jogendra Singh.
* The main aim was to develop a technical structure to aid the industrial development in the country.
* On May 1950, the first Indian Institute of Technology was set up in Kharagpur.
* By 1961 four more such institutes were established in Mumbai, Kanpur, Chennai and Delhi.
* IIT Guwahati was established in 1994.
* In 2001, University of Roorkee was granted IIT status. This formed the seventh campus of the IITs in India.
IIT Entrance Test
(A) Undergraduate Courses:
While IIT JEE is the entrance examination for getting admitted to any of the bachelor degree courses, for B.Des and B Arch separate aptitude tests have to be given along with IIT-JEE.
(B)Postgraduate Courses: For studying Postgraduate courses in IITs, one needs to appear in the appropriate entrance exam.
These entrance exams are -
* GATE (M. Tech)

Present Scenario in Indian engineering education
About 2.3 lakh students graduated in engineering in 2006, while only 20,000 master degrees and 1,000 Ph.Ds were awarded that year, according to the study 'Engineering Education in India', conducted by two professors of IIT Bombay.
Doctorate degrees in engineering are less than one per cent of graduate engineering degrees. The percentage of is much higher for most of the other countries like the United States (9 per cent), Britain (10 per cent) and Germany (8 per cent).
Utilization Of Natural Laws Through Engineering Technology
Engineering is the utilization of natural laws, application of scientific and mathematical principles which results in practical ends like machines, processes, design and manufacturing.
With the rapid advancement of technology, this vertical of science is also getting comprised of various divisions and subdivisions. There are many fields of engineering which are gaining prominence and are developing with a non-ceasing point, like:
• Aerospace Engineering
• Chemical Engineering
• Civil Engineering
• Electrical Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Computer Engineering
• Software Engineering
• Nanotechnology
• Molecular engineering
With increased number of branches of engineering, companies where job prospects are high are also increasing. There is need of engineers in each industry. In case of Computer Engineering, numbers of IT companies as well as their verticals is spreading constantly and are working as a stair for the engineers to reach the destiny of success quickly.
To meet the required demand of increased number of companies, numbers of engineering colleges are also increasing, like affiliation of more than 4 or 5 colleges a common University so that admissions to high number of students should be carried easily. This is all because of increase in technology, technological requirements etc.
List of engineering institutes:

IIT-JEE Examination Pattern
Paper 1 of IIT-JEE 2008 consisted of 69 questions with total marks of 246.
The difficulty level of the three subjects in the decreasing order was Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.
The questions in Mathematics required long steps to finally arrive at the answer. The difficulty was compounded because of the larger than usual share of questions (28%) in Coordinate Geometry that required – again – larger than usual steps to solve. The Comprehension Type questions were based on the application side of Complex Numbers, Integral Calculus and Coordinate Geometry. System of Equations commanded three Assertion Reasoning Type Questions.
In Physics, questions were almost uniformly distributed among all areas other than Electrostatics, EMI and AC. The easiest type of questions in Paper 1 were the Assertion-Reasoning type as none of them involved calculations by only clarity of the concepts being discussed. 12 Marks could be easily scored in this area. From the Straight Answer type questions, three were easily solvable. The Linked Comprehension type questions posed maximum difficulty because of the lengthy expressions and interconnectivity. The representation of Modern Physics was relatively higher in Paper 1 when compared to the importance given to the topic in the previous years.
The questions in Physical Chemistry – the ones students usually pick up first to solve – were tougher than usual. Some of the questions in the numericals were presented with a twist with the obvious intention of confusing the students. Instead of moles if the student were to take equivalents, the answer would be wrong, but was present among the choices.
But relatively Chemistry was the consolation part among the three Papers. States of Matter, Dilute Solutions, Kinetics, and Nuclear Chemistry were adequately represented. Atomic Structure, Electrochemistry, Solid State were not among the questions here. So the students would look forward to these in Paper 2 as these are important areas.
Test Pattern Analysis, Key and Solutions
Paper 2 of IIT-JEE 2008 consisted of 66 questions with total marks of 243
The difficulty level of the three subjects in Paper 2 in the decreasing order was Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry
The concepts of EMI and AC were expected to appear in Paper 2, but did not show up in any question. In Paper 2 also Assertion Reasoning type questions followed by the Straight Objective type questions were the ones to go after for faster scoring.
12 and 15 marks respectively were definitely scorable from these two sections. The Linked Comprehension questions posed good challenge for the students as it involved more than one concept. Among the three questions in matrix-match type, one was definitely solvable completely under exam conditions and another was definitely a huge task to solve. The general level of difficulty of both the papers was at par. The strong focus is again on the strong grip on the concepts rather than on numerical problem solving
Mathematics part of Paper 2 gave equal importance to Algebra, Vectors, 3D and Matrices, Coordinate Geometry, Differential Calculus and Integral Calculus. The share of Trigonometry was very less. Questions involving System of Equations were linked with 3 D Geometry. One Matrix-Match type question involved concepts from more than one area. Extremum, Symmetricity of Matrices, Logarithm and Trigonometric Equations all found presence in one question worth 6 marks. A lot of importance has been given to geometrical interpretations. Integral Calculus had more representation this year compared to IIT-JEE 2007.
F Block elements that were not represented in Paper 1 were again conspicuous by its absence in Paper 2 as well. In Chemistry, all the important areas of Physical Chemistry that were left out in Paper 1 found mention in Paper 2 except some basic concepts of Physical Chemistry. In one of the questions relating to Dilute solutions a condition was given as "mixture of two liquids where one non-volatile" but this condition is unrealistic but had to be considered while considering the Linked Comprehension type. Here again, if a student were to go without taking care of the condition the answer arrived was mentioned among the choices - a very clear attempt at confusing the student.
Here, we present the distribution of marks among various topics within the subject. The following tables and pie-charts will help you to understand the relative importance of the various subject areas in this years’ IIT-JEE.
Also we are presenting an overall EMD Analysis – Easy, Medium, Difficult Analysis. The definitions of Easy, Medium and Difficult are given below. You will find that even if you were not able to solve some of Difficult Questions, it would still leave you enough scope to score a net score to get a very good All India Rank.
EASY:- Easy Questions are defined as those questions that can be answered by a student who knows the concept under question. It is a direct application of the concept. A student is expected to have attempted all the EASY Category Questions.
MEDIUM:- Medium Difficulty Questions are those questions that may involve more than one concept. A well-prepared student should be able to identify at least 75% of these and solve them correctly
DIFFICULT:- Difficult Questions are those Questions are those will definitely involve multiple concepts and are tricky. The students may be led to think away from the ideal method of problem solving. It will require good effort even from the well-prepared student to identify the difficult ones and categorize them accordingly.

Experience of an JEE aspirant
Well people i gave JEE-2008 on 13th April 2008.
I will now describe my experience to u all so that it can help you tackel JEE better.
I will now rewind the clock to April 2006 when i joined Naryana IIT Academy for preparing for the D-Day in 2008.
I began taking classes at Narayana quite seriously in the process neglecting my school studies,but i was not able to do well anywhere niether at narayana nor at my school that was untill a major test took place at narayana and that was the time i started believing in myself that i can really crack JEE.But soon self beliefe turned into overconfidence and for nearly 3 months whatever was taught at narayana, I did not revise at home.
Result--->1.I did horribly in the second major test at Narayana.
2.I got an early wake up call.
I now realised that cracking JEE might not be that easy after all.I began to work seriously and thus came out with flying colours in the third test.
By the time the fourth test came I was in 12th standard and thus came a period of STRESS,TENSIONS because my performance at school dipped to horribly low levels which were unacceptable,but all these circumstances failed to deter me from giving it my all to JEE. I kept on working for JEE and my performance in my school exams kept dipping. Soon the pre-boards arrived and I left my JEE preparation aside for some time.I did OK in my pre-boards.
Come February 2008 and i started to prepare in the earnest for my Board Examinations and side by side giving some time to JEE. February passed of quite nicely since i was at home 24X7
and March came. The whole month of March went by with out me giving a single minute to JEE preparation.
Finally on the D-Day had arrived.The day i had been waiting for the past 2 years had arrived.
Now i will reveal 1 thing here I HATED MATHS and thus it was my weak point in JEE.
Soon we were seated in the examination halls and were about to write the so called "Toughest Exam on Earth".
The clock started ticking and as soon as i opened the paper i was in for a shock.The first section was Maths and this is the point which i think was the turning point and made the difference b/w me qualifying JEE and loosing out by 9 marks.
I lost my cool as soon as i saw maths first because i had been adapted to Physics first then chemistry(My strongest of the three) and last abut here JEE had sprung up a surprise.
Suddenly the paper became so tough that i was on the verge of tears and had done just 2 questions in 45-50 mins. I had made a mistake here in my eagerness to do the paper i forgot that i should have turned to chemistry straight away rather than wasting my time with maths.But i was already rattled enough and after three hours i was sure it was the end of my dream.
The Second paper brought some respite and it went of well since i was mentally prepared for shocks and surprises. But the damage had been done right in the first paper.
Lessons to be learnt from my experience
1.Never EVER be overconfident about your chances at JEE and during the two years you prepare for it.
2.NEVER divert your attention from your school studies.School is equally important
3.NEVER leave any of your subject weak.It will drag you down.Give equal importance to all subjects.
4.BE prepared for shocks in JEE.Every year they will spring up a surprise and try to throw you off balance in the exam hall.
5.NEVER loose your cool.
6.Say to yourself "If I can't who will??"
i hope you like this jee Experience

IIT JEE Technical Enterance Examination Guide
JEE is an exam which requires a high level of perfection in all respects - particularly in memory, logic, speed, and quantitaive analysis. Such perfection requires constant practice. Here, I would like to provide tips which may help my friends clear this exam.
Disclaimer: Though I have got a good rank of 96, my beginning (from X) was pretty ordinary - so I expect this guide to help the majority of students. Also, since I'm not a qualified instructor, I can only give my personal point of view.
Books:
Maths - Any good book will do, just as long as it has thousands of problems (I'm serious). But here are some of the books I know and have used:
NCERT, Tata McGraw Hill, G. N. Berman, A. I. Prilepko, Hall & Knight, S. L. Loney.
Physics - Just three - NCERT, H.C. Verma and I. E. Irodov. If you want really challenging problems, try the Krotov.
Physical Chemistry - NCERT, P. Bahadur, N. Avasthi and V. K. Jaiswal
Organic Chemistry - This one has a huge list, but here are some good ones:
NCERT, Paula Bruice, Peter Sykes, I.L. Finar, Morrison and Boyd, M. S. Chouhan, etc.
Inorganic Chemistry - NCERT, J. D. Lee, N. Avasthi and V. K. Jaiswal, Vogel's Qualitative Analysis.
Dos and Don'ts
Dos:
1] Regular homework and studies. I mean, really regular, as in never-failed-to-complete-my-homework-on-time type regular.
2] Relaxation and timepass. Yeah. Really. All study and no play makes Jack a nut-case. But don't overdo it - 1 hour at the maximum per day.
3] Isolation. The more friends you have, the more possibility of you getting distracted. Keep a safe distance, avoid most parties and hangouts. The lesser, the better.
4] Taking tests. Join a test series, maybe two, or as many you want - I recommend FIITJEE. Constant tests help you practice and prepare your mind for the JEE pattern. If the tests are to be given at home, do them at the proper time in an isolated room.
5] Finish your syllabus by January, if you are a fresher. If you are dropping, do make sure you complete the syllabus.
6] Keep a positive attitude. Approach new topics with interest, not with an another-topic-to-mug attitude. Do some research on wikipedia, try to find applications in day-to-day life. This will help create interest in the topic and improve your understanding as an engineer.
7] Mental and physical exercises, like meditation and yoga. For further details, contact spideyunlimited.
AND FINALLY, THE MOST IMPORTANT:
8] Attend all lectures, as in perfect 100% attendance. Quite a no-brainer, this one.
Don'ts
1] Overstress - the deadliest killer is sighted often among JEE students.
2] Procrastinate. As in, put off tomorrow what you can do today.
3] Hang out and waste time.
4] Worry too much. This is a major problem I've seen. People worry so much about classes / test series/ correspondence / teachers / batches / quality / notes / books / college / friend / girlfriend / food / hostel / accomodation .. u get the point... If I were to say it bluntly - just shut up, open the book, and start doing the damn problems!!
5] Lose confidence, or be over confident. IF you lose confidence, go to the forums, we can help you. If you are over confident, just contact me Just joking... Remember that there may be (will be) students out there smarter than you. This applies even if you are the topper of any institute.
6] Sleep less / eat less. The body is like any machine, and needs proper rest. Regular sleep of atleast 7 hours is a must.
goIIT and JEE
This is quite a weird and dangerous combination, like a double-edged sword. Many students have asked me whether goIIT has helped me or inhibited my studies. In my case, goIIT was helpful. Stuck as I was in Kota with a cellphone connected to the net and no other means of entertainment, goIIT was my only source of entertainment (which was to solve problems). It helped me to get out of the rut of a particular chapter I was studying, and helped me remember chapters I had studied long ago. The questions and challenges kept me practicing constantly.
But that was because on my cell, I could not view pictures or videos, or participate in thread-games. Those who have a PC can easily be distracted by these relaxation avenues. Being an educational site, even parents don't mind children sitting on the PC all day long. My advice: stay away from them. Browse only the academic forums and the community shelf when it's study time. And yeah - don't browse any other non-academic websites.
Particular points to take note of:
1] In mechanics, many books / professors teach methods and shortcuts to solve certain "types" of problems. Sometimes, even terminologies are given to them! Like recently, I heard a term called "extra tension" which I have never heard before. My advice: stick to the basics. Choose the inertial/non-inertial frame, co-ordinate system, select the body, draw a FBD (include any pseudo forces if necessary), and resolve the forces. This formula never goes wrong.
2] In organic chemistry, always solve problems by GOC. Resort to guesswork / any other tricks only if all else fails.
3] In Inorganic Chemistry, learn till you reach your limit. Learn the colours of compounds, their reactions, as much as you can. They may seem to follow a pattern, but there are too many exceptions and it would be better to instead learn everything.
4] Since the paper is objective, learn all types of tricks and techniques to solve it. Accurate guesswork must be resorted to sometimes - but be prepared to lose 1 mark in negative marking. In certain cases, the question maybe derived from the answer eg. A question of indefinite integration with 4 options. (If the integral is difficult)
5] Although this is a matter of personal choice, try to study at dawn instead of late in the night. Go to sleep at 11:00, and wake up at 6:00. I find that I am able to study thrice as fast in the early morning than in the night.
6] A particular question is quite common - which coaching is the best? My personal opinion - Bansal. Other good ones are Resonance, Career Point, Narayana, FIITJEE, Brilliant, VMC, etc. Don't get scared of packing your bags off to Kota if you have to - if you get selected for IIT you'll most probably have to leave your city anyway!
7] Enrolling into a good correspondence course helps sometimes. I recommend Brilliant, for their immensly helpfull YG Files and their Mock-JEE tests.
8] I'm free to help you anytime - just nudge me!
All the best to my friends! May you succeed, and that this article contributes a little to that success.

IIT Career Planning
- "Do what you like and the money will follow." If you work at something you like, you will be good at it, and the best people usually rise to the top. Don't do something just for the money unless you do not have any better options.
- It is becoming common for a person to have more than one career in a lifetime. Engineers, computer scientists, and entrepreneurs may change the type of work they do as many as five times in a lifetime.
- "When in doubt aim high." Always aim for the highest paid career that also has the most demanding educational requirements. If you try the hardest first, and decide it's too tough, or you just don't like it, at least you will have tried it. It's easy to move to a field with lower educational requirements. It's impossible to move up once you've started.
- "Without a plan, you are like a bullet with no target." Without a career plan you will be blown off course by the slightest breeze. Without a good career plan experienced professionals can stall and stagnate and become targets for downsizing. Without a good career pan college students are likely to change majors, lose credits, drop out, or take too long to graduate. When times get tough, and the classes become hard, self doubt begins to creep in. Having a firm career direction will help keep the student on track during tough times.
- Retirement is a thing of the past. We human beings have an intrinsic need to add value, to contribute, to be a part of something. That need doesn't stop at age 65. If you are over 50 years old you probably want to start planning for a career that will suit your needs after official retirement.
In broader outlooks, this only means that not getting into the IITs doesn't mean the end of your dreams. It just means that your goal might be a bit harder to reach since you dont have the paths frequently walked down.
Remember that your goal is not getting into IITs, but having a successful and fulfilling career. Instead of moping about and wondering whether or not you'll make it to the IITs, if you have even a bit of self-doubt creeping into your mind, stop now. Plan out your career. Research. Decide what you want to do with your life.... It is never too late to decide what you want to be.... And where you want to be.
This doesn't mean that you need to give up your dreams... It only means that you should be preplanned about what you want to achieve with regards to your career. Though some might say that your career planning actually starts after Graduation, you've decided it by the time you elected for a particular stream after your 10th grade. Always have a backup plan.
Hoping that this inspires the lot of you here poring upon articles to help you to actually chart out a major decision in life: Choosing, working towards and achieving what you expect from your career.....
