How I made it to IIT!

-


Whatever I am now and what all I have achieved, started from the day I decided to take a drop when I wasn’t able to clear my JEE Advance in first attempt. So, my words will be more useful for the students who face the same deadly situation.

Actually, you always need a driving force that keeps you moving and makes work really hard for achieving your goals. In my case, that driving force was my dad’s dream. Of course, different people have different reasons to get into IIT. But one thing is for sure – you need a hell lot of determination to take a drop and prepare for JEE. 


The three key thoughts to be kept in mind:

One, Never lose confidence.

Two, Never stop, never, at any cost.

Three, Never become dependent on anyone. Be self-dependent.

You may face many adverse situations during your preparations, you may feel like backing off but in reality those are your real test which you need to face off before your actual JEE examination.

In my case, these adversities were at such a peak that very few people can imagine.

OK, so imagine a situation when you haven’t finished even half of your syllabus and your teachers left with nothing much left in your hands. The teachers who promised you that they would return within one month, you even waited for them for one month but they never came. Trust me, that’s the worst condition a dropper can face. But, this is exactly the situation which made a difference between me and my batch mates dealing with the situation. Literally, I cried during that course of time but there were more reasons to move on than just backing off.

Firstly, it was my last attempt.

Secondly, I couldn’t afford to shatter my father’s dream.

Thirdly, during this period, this became my own dream.

So all these factors combined kept me moving and I never stopped learning. Yes, I lost my 2 months due to these adversities but in the end I came up much stronger, more dedication and more plans than ever before. At the end of the day, I was the only selection from my coaching institute.

My advice to you:

  • If you want to succeed in life be determined, always, that’s the most important thought that should prevail in your mind.
  • Be focused, set goals and objectives for a day, for a week and stick to them. Don’t just try to finish the objectives, finish them.
  • Share your knowledge with friends and surely you will be benefited with that.
  • Never depend on anyone and never expect anything from others because in the end it’s your life and your exam, no one will be much concerned for that. People will be there to hear your success story and not a failure one.

So just keep working without stopping and you will be a winner for sure.

All the best buddies!

      I will be answering the points you should keep in mind while preparing for JEE in next blog. Answering the whole thing here will be a long comment. But yes, what I can suggest, keep that phone away. Use it in limited time period ... You can use the apps like YourHour to lock the apps while you study. Secondly, don't fall into peer pressure. You can have your friendships an year later. You must know what your ultimate goal is, for atleast these couple of years.

      What do you think? The answer lies with in your thinking. As I said. I went coaching for around 6 months and let me be honest I didn't do much in whole 11th and 12th class. I didn't even took IIT seriously in 11th and half of 12th. I finally came up with 3108 rank in Advanced. So, if I can then why can't you! All you need is a mindset, a mission and a target. It doesn't matter how much time you have. What does matter is how you use it. You have full chances of cracking JEE if you have interest and have that determination.

      See, whatever the time is left. If you keep on thinking about the time, you will lose it. Just do whatever you can do in these 3 months. Take 3 months as 90 days and not just 3 months... You just have to make a plan. 3 months is neither a great span of time nor it's too less. Pick up your notebook, start planning. Keep your goal in mind... Do it for yourself. If it's really a dream then you can't just give up on it so early. Atleast try to give your best till the final exam approaches. Without thinking that what happened in past... Start today... You will reach somewhere.
      All the best!

Final weeks preparation strategy for JEE

Greetings to each and every student here, as an aspirant each one of us go through a certain phases. While some have had the preparations over the period of 2 years, others may not have much time to prepare for their JEE exams. The reasons can be many but let's not talk about the reasons in this article. Here, I want to give you all an idea about how to prepare for your JEE exam in a short period of time. The things that you need to keep in your mind while you go through the last weeks just before the exams. My suggestions on how to crack JEE with only limited time to prepare: Never randomize your study.   First, make a week-by-week plan, with provision for mock tests, revision, new learning, etc. Then, make daily plans and stick to them diligently. Make the plans always just a little higher than your previous best (maybe 10-15% higher), and that will keep you progressing. For instance: if you have a capacity of doing 400 questions a day, fix a target 450 or 470 to be done daily. (...

  Hey Everyone! I hope your preparations are going well for the April JEE MAIN Session. Without wasting much time, I will cover the top tricks you should follow during the last preparation days of your JEE Exam. Lets Start. 1) DON'T PICK UP ANY NEW TOPIC - Yes, you read that right. Don't pick anything new. This is the time you are surrounded by a lot of confusions and that's not an issue but JEE MAIN exam is all about your knowledge about the topic or a subject. So, this is actually the time to revise whatever you already know. It is recommended from my side to not top pick something you have never studied. So, pick up the 3 subjects that you have, make a time table ( How to make a perfect Time Table ) and start brushing up the topics but don't pick anything new! 2) PRIORITIZE THE TOPICS - Now you know what not to study. But then what to study? Go through the previous year papers and see which topics can be prioritized and are asked more in the exams. You can see my ...

Hello everyone! While attempting our JEE exam we often run out of time and this lead to a great loss in our marks.  There are basically 2 factors which decide how you will score in your JEE Exam. 1. Accuracy of your attempted questions. 2. How many questions you can do within those hours. The first one obviously depends on your level of preparations but in this blog, I will be discussing about how to increase your speed while attempting for the exam. Increasing your speed will eventually result in increase of the the marks you get! Let's get started. One thing that I know about the people, who do good in any exam, is that their mind works faster than their pens. Yes, your mind is the first weapon while attempting your JEE exam. You see some students do more than half of the calculations in their mind and then reach a particular place from where they start using the pen. What's exactly the point to that? Whenever you get a question, don't just blindly start doing any calcula...

Biggest Mistakes during IIT JEE Preparations

Hello friends! During our preparatory period we go through a lot of things happening around and couldn’t figure out where we are going wrong and what steps should be taken to overcome this! I’ll be sharing the 5 worst mistakes done by JEE aspirants during their JEE preparations. Ignoring the basics : The main building block for anything is its base, same goes with your preparations. Students preparing for JEE mostly think that it’s the the high level advanced questions that will matter the most and that’s where they start missing out the basics. The basics are the building loack of your JEE preparations. People often jump to advance books and test series ignoring the NCERT, whereas, if you actually notice most of JEE Main questions can be solved if you have thoroughly gone through your NCERT. So, use the advanced books and study materials but keep your basics clear. Excess Study Material : One thing that everyone should keep in mind is that excess of anything is harmful. More study mat...
