Why is iit coaching necessary

Coaching classes may equip you with better strategy, but leaves little scope and time for self study which is most essential when it comes to competitive exams.

Study Materials: First and foremost is to have good study materials. A clear concept of the syllabus along with good study materials such as online lectures, study packages, text books of all subjects, etc.

Good Schedule: No coaching class, means ample amount of time for self studying. Time management is very essential and you should chalk out a good schedule beforehand and strictly adhere to it so as to ensure maximum utilisation of the available time. Class Lectures: To have a clear concept of the course content is more or less a job half done. For example: In Mathematics, calculus problems can be solved using co-ordinate geometry and any complex number problem can be solved using vector calculus.

This will help you in learning alternative methods of approaching a problem. Knowing multiple methods of solving a question will help you arrive at result even if another approach is required. Amplify your revision by solving practice questions on the topic from reference books instead.

This will help you immediately understand the concepts you have just studied. No matter how many efforts you put in or how many papers you solve, if you do not utilize your time effectively, you will never be able to complete and practice in time. To keep a better track of the time you allot to various chapters, revision, and practice, you can make use of time management apps.

It can be more effective than a printed calendar since it will give you reminders for different events. Practice at home is the most effective when you test yourself at regular intervals. Now, the question is how to maximize your benefit from these mock papers. The common mistake made by most students is they never review what they have solved. You should spend at least hours to review the process. Whenever you are solving a paper, try to analyze the questions or chapters you are facing a problem with and the areas you are quick to solve.

After the first mock test, you will have a list of your strong areas as well as the topics that require more attention. Utilise these insights to work on the areas you lack and with each mock test you would find yourself getting better.

Also, develop a smart strategy while solving the paper. Never attempt the paper in a sequence and avoid the questions you face difficulty in while solving your mock papers. These books cover topics from the basic to advanced level application-based questions. Reference books will help you greatly in building knowledge about concepts through practice.

These are specifically designed for JEE preparation by the top experts in the market. No one is a better judge than you. Have something to say about this article, or any question in mind? Share it with us on Facebook. Is there someone who cleared NEET without coaching? You are solving problems without any time and method consideration The JEE and NEET preparation is not just understanding and solving problems correctly.

Plus there are not many role models. But brand IIT is perceived as being very successful or a passport out of India. Many role models for brand IIT. Maybe not every IIT grad does well, but it is a belief in the brand so parents and kids treat the JEE as an important thing in their lives. Note every IIT grad does not have to do something pathbreaking to be successful in his or her career. There are many business opportunities that can be exploited in some fields and the money realised much quicker than a scientist.

So what? The original point was that despite their hype, IITs have done very little to create new technologies in this country that excites young talent to do pathbreaking work. The argument that students use an IIT degree as a shortcut to riches is neither here nor there.

That is the case with the best technical institutes worldwide too. Yes deep thinking cannot be adequately tested via objective tests. Knowing which question to skip and which question to solve in 3 subjects in space of 3 hours.

Also sometimes answers can be guessed by eliminating. A traditional subjective type exam may be more effective. This is especially true when there can be more than one solution to a problem, and the examiner can clearly make out the thinking process of the candidate.

Plus an interview will help weed out genuinely interested in engineering from those not so genuine eg. Extracurricular science activities. Many IITians lead the work force in Western countries in engineering, management and science. We should be proud of them. Forget Money, Live happy, money is the root for all evil on the globe, now its infratech to mars even.

Well, i have completed my masters degree. AND now when i look back, I have no regrets because i spent my childhood and teenage years as i wanted to, i enjoyed a lot.

I read max comments regards student and parents. But we all think selfishly. School and colleges standard everyone know all are only eating parents money If we make better engineering college than iit than no race for iit.

If we make coaching Or school like super30 than no need of kota. We should thanks to iits who have better education other wise where we go. Our govt. School very few in number are good and private are only money eatter. The basic education are very poor in India. Than we do not want kota and iit. I agree with your remark that most of institutes and colleges are set up for filling pockets from middle class people but not to impart anything of value to students.

We have build up an ecosystem in which there is no way out. The only way to get out of this system is to not accept it. Even it cost you lesser salary, amenities and not riched lifestyle. Me— kya btao aapko meri bhi ischa hoti h ye sb krne ki baate krne ki khelne ki pr phele apni priorities yaad aa jaati hai….

I just live with these things. The Print should bring out a survey about the percentage of IITgraduates doing engineering jobs and other jobs such as banking. It is easy to criticize, but one should propose solutions also. The admission criteria has to change. At present physics, chemistry, matches questions are asked. Questions about ancient Indian history, civics, social sciences should also be included. So that children reading those things may also get selected with lot less mugging of physics.

Our premier engg technical institutions both govt and private have focussed more on producing employable graduates rather than capable researchers. Parents also share equal responsibility for this state of affairs. Basically they view education coaching fees, college fees as an investment to be paid back with good return!

This article is exactly what jee is and those who are saying the facts are exaggerated then go ask an jee aspirant he will tell you the ground reality. It is much more harsh on your mind then it looks like and if you fail you stop believing in yourself. Cause a certificate of being an IIT graduate is more important than being competent. And I really regret wasting my valuable years in such a sheep race.

Cause that shit that we studied was never used after the JEE exam, neither in Engineering nor in Job. Some American kids start programming computer games by the time they are He dropped out of college to start Microsoft. Some even drop out of college to start companies. Take stories of Michael Dell, Mark Zuckerberg etc….

A college degree should be viewed as a journey not the destination. Sometimes life takes turns that no one can predict so one has to be prepared always to do something very different from what one studied in college.

Meanwhile our young middle class kids are being trained to crack objective questions in science and maths. No opportunity for them to do self discovery with any hobbies like coding, electronics, digital art, machines or developing some practical and useful skills through school level physics or chemistry.. But I know it is an unthinkable proposition for Indian parents to let their kids pursue something they enjoy or even let their wards just be normal teenagers.

Thanks to Sony, Somebody has to say this and you said it. Putting so much extra effort the student becomes anything other than what he ought to be. Not for himself , for the whole world it would be disaster. But this happens not just in India alone.

I think the problem inside IITs are very big, students here are depressed, confused. Students at IITs are better than top ivy leagues when they start 1st year, when they leave they are far lower than them. They are again put into a ratrace which is unfortunately about higher grades rather than learning. In fact the depth of phy, chem and maths one gets exposed to during an IIT prep is the level at which a first year engg. So academically in our country we STUFF in more phy,chem and math into our year olds, so some are possibly burnt out by the time they are But I am no academic expert but common sense in me dictates one serious question is to measure the outcome: why are our engineers not able to build world class engineering companies in India?

What is it their premier institutes do in their academics that makes even their average engineers READY to do the world class things within their countries once they graduate? I think problem is more inside IIT these days. Students are again put into a ratrace inside which is unfortunately about grades rather than learning and excelling. Similar or more difficult price are paid by Medicos also not only during preparation but in colleges also and later on in life too.

There is not enough infrastructure to support any of this. No jobs to support the ever increasing entry of students into the job market… Dearth of not only good quality jobs but well paying jobs. Still the new NEP policy is a positive step in this place, hope it helps the young in the coming future.

Not many people start the prep at early age.. Dude like the other comments said ik people from my coaching who are the A1 batch students. Survival of the fittest. Any profession whether Engineering, Medicine, IAS etc needs preparation for many years right from childhood. It is said that if you study with interest rather than study hard will make you achieve your goals. A person who enjoys teenage without studying will curse himself later seeing the success of hard workers.

Yes you can play any game for an hour which gives you strength and happiness and gives impetus to study. You have to schedule your time of study. I used to study from 9. Every weekend I used to watch movies. Choice is yours. Enjoy now or never. I think you could not understand the crux of the article. The point is even if a person who studies the same way as u have written may not be able to clear the exam. That means despite having the potential, the person is tagged as being ineligible.

I am surprised that such thoughts are coming from a doctor!! Maybe that is why I occupy a small corner office in a distant backwater of Europe pushing papers as a small cog in a gigantic bureaucracy whilst luminaries like you become the movers, shakers and shapers of society!

Your detailed prescription for what needs to be done when the clock strikes 9 am, 1 pm, 2 pm, 4pm etc. You see learned Doctor, when I was a teenager, I dedicated a lot of my time to ogling at pretty girls and extrapolating from their visible curves, contours and protrusions and other anatomical assets to their more invisible anatomical assets.

But boy, they were pleasurable! But learned Doctor, I do not find myself cursing myself despite my having thoroughly enjoyed my teenage life. On the contrary, I am immensely glad I did not become a hormoneless automaton and slave of a bloody clock …. Problem is not iit,problem is mentality of mostly indians, people think iit is only way to safe future, But no one this about this precious life.

Well, Do you even think before writing? Ancient Indian scholars had put forward various scientific concepts which is well known and acknowledged.

Even, tons of ancient records are been looked upon. Hatred for any religion lies in its representation. Hinduism is not much acknowledged, just, because people like you only brag about culture, and do nothing to the core. What does matter whether that discovery is fruitful to your society or not. Check your Math, it should say more than students apply per seat, rather than a Yes lost childhood…. Abe reservation Lodon ko aur kya ayega…. Absolutely right….

The Print reports always try to make every issue, a scandal. I am father of an IITian. I never put pressure on him for study. He is absolutely normal person physically, socially, mentally and spiritually. He has spent his childhood as normal child. Your life experiences are not reflective of the society at large.

I always wonder why people in other countries like America are happy and successful…. Stop pretending like your know your child. I am a 17 year old aspirant and almost no one I know, senior or friend or anyone who has gotten into IIT is open to their parents about the mental trauma they had to face in the journey. So please stop. Its sickening to see. No one is in a good mental state at the end of jee because of how absolutely toxic it is. With all due respect, I admire that you have never pressured your son for academics, but open your eyes to the struggles of other people.

U are not an IITian your son is one. According to you everything is going well but ask your ward about this too. Indian education system ranks off in the world making it one of the worse systems across the world. Seat for an IIT comes with an expense of many other things which may eventually be more important in life rather than an IITian tag. Please do whatever you believe is more important. But, do not scandalise important things just because you are not able to do it.

You are a lucky parent. Most parents have to force their children to study. In some cases parents even pack their wards off to Kota or Hyderabad for years. Life at IIT is a mess. Once ypu reach IIT you have administration controlling and giving no freedom to the students.

Yes this is the life after wasting two good years of your life. People in IIT have no life. Even after alp the sacrifices made by us, Undergraduates are not even checkwd once for what they want. Very wrong and negative statements.

The madness to get into one of the iits is understandable but sadly reflects the systemic rot that has taken place in the name of education for all involved. The basic problem that has brought in this systemic rot is a callous and almost irreverent attitude towards what constitutes education and what it stands for. Right now what passes off in the name of education or rather what is packaged as education is an almost mindless ritual whose only purpose is a promise to get an attractive paycheck and hence secure the future.

What is dismaying is an almost comical mindset that a well paying job is a yardstick of knowledge and hence ability. True knowledge and hence ability can only be measured by how much a person is able to contribute meaningfully in the enhancement of his field of interest or activity. But sadly, most people judge their ability by how much repetitive work they do seating in their office cubicle.

Very recently, the IITs have adopted a policy where, if any student fails to complete his four years graduation in engineering, he will be awarded a three years bachelor in science degree. I was utterly dismayed, that how come a student of an IIT cannot complete his engineering graduation. Then what good is this mad rush for a seat in an IIT. This shows engineering education in India is a failure. When a field of knowledge like engineering is sought after for the only purpose of a well paid job, quality is bound to suffer.

Now then what is the way out of this rot. One option may be to make engineering education two- tiered. Just like there is premedical training in medical sciences, similarly a three year diploma in engineering should be made mandatory for all engineering aspirants. For those students who are aspiring for an engineering job, a diploma in engineering is enough.

Those students who want to get into a graduation course in engineering should be required to submit an original work in his branch of engineering to an autonomous commitee who will examine and approve it as original and of high quality.

Only such students should be allowed to get into a graduation course in engineering. Many more such options may be explored and discussed. Only then can the engineering education in this country be improved. It is just what an IIT aspirant wants to get out of it. This IIT mania has been created by society and coaching institutes which have glorified the difficulty of the exam to countless average and below average school students. Here we go again. Another condemnation of the haves by the have-nots.

The article preaches intellectual communism of the clueless. The selective process in education in India has worked. After all, this is the only place where education is venerated through the image of a goddess.

It has worked to transform a country spat out to be a primitive servant population by the British in into a leading tech savvy nation in better than most in the world and better than what the one-time masters have currently.

It took institutions like the IIT to achieve such transformation. The Congress government has partially achieved the invalidation of an IIT degree by quadrupling their numbers. Still, the brand endures and survives. All the sweaty preparation to enter the IITs transform young minds for intellectual pursuits. To say otherwise is to spew hatred by the liberal left. Institutions like JNU and St. Stephens mold leftist guerrillas lining up for protests.

These lightweights coming mostly from affluent families eventually wither away in life where as the IIT graduates survive and sustain in our increasingly technological world. The criticism comes from those who cannot get into IITs. Sort of sour grapes. Please go away and continue your protests. Please do some research. Chairman Xi will not help your cause since he wants to tell Chinese students what to do based on their test scores. OMG how can you be so narrow minded? According to you everyone should experience each and everything before giving any opinion?

Have you heard about learning by observation?
