IIT is achievable, just by following the simple path…

Regularity in work: Get regular in your work right from day one, because courses and problems will increase with time and if you delay your work for one day also, then it gets piled up for days ahead.

Take some time to relax: Do not follow “only study” module. Play for some time to refresh your brains and then get back to work.

Take tests: Weekends give you some extra time so gear you to attempt some tests from IIT JEE Coaching Course along with stop watch. You will understand your strengths and weaknesses to improve them right in the beginning.

Limit your friendship: One or two friends are O.K., but not more than that. Avoid parties and minimize distractions. Discipline over you is a must.

Complete syllabus in time: there is a set schedule, drafted by instructors of IIT JEE Coaching Institute, which should be strictly followed. If you are not finished, then don’t panic. Devote some extra time to get it done in next few days.

Think positive: Positive attitude keeps you moving while negative attitude pulls backwards. Think positive then only you can achieve your goals.

Exercise for fifteen minutes: Meditation for five minutes and brisk walk in open for ten minutes is sufficient to exercise your brain and body to make you fit for exam.

Concentrate on Lectures: Don’t daydream of passing out during IIT Lectures. Maximize your concentration to devote minimum effort in understanding the topic, afterwards.

Study without stressing you: Overstress diminishes your ability to do work. It hinders in normal functioning of brain. Stay cool and devote as much time as possible to complete the work in time. If possible set a schedule for different subjects so that you complete your work in time.

No wasting of time: Greatest enemy is “hanging out” here and there. It eats away your time leaving you gasping at the last moment.

Don’t Worry Be Happy: when you worry then your brain concentrates on worrying rather than studying, then you have to devote extra time to that particular subject. So bury your worries to earn scores in IIT JEE. Take a break if you can’t overcome your worries. It relaxes your mind and makes you feel refreshed. Don’t compromise on sleep and nutrition. Take small and regular meals to feel full and satiated without feeling sleepy.

Last but not the least, neither lose confidence, nor get over-confident, and then attempt your course. You will certainly achieve your defined goals. Join www.smartlearnwebtv.com as online coaching Institute and get started.

IIT Entrance exams are special exams, conducted for those classes of students who are hard working, sincere, result oriented, and ambitious. These students have set goals and work towards achievement of such goal.

IIT Entrance exam requires lots of efforts. Students should have proper mind set to prepare him/her for such prestigious exam. A proper framework of mind, strong determination, thorough understanding of goal, tremendous will power and lots of effort makes a student achieve IIT ranking amongst students all over India.

When a student undergoes IIT JEE coaching, then Professors also extend all possible help for making their students achieve their goal.

IIT JEE preparation syllabus includes an extensive training program where students are prepared for IIT JEE exam exclusively. Therefore the IIT entrance exam syllabus is designed in such a way that a student prepares him/her thoroughly. The syllabus for IIT JEE preparation is equipped with exact syllabus needed for preparation. The syllabus for each subject gives extensive knowledge of that subject. All possible topics are explained with proper example and there are different question papers for students to assess them properly. This is not all. There are proper questionnaire to judge students for their strengths and weaknesses.

Question papers are also designed to prepare students on regular intervals, so that the students remain regular with their syllabus. Those students who lag behind start gear up their preparations to cover up for studies. IIT entrance exams’ preparation has to be very regular. It’s like the job of a postman, who has to deliver the mail in times of adversities, as well. Same way, whatever happens, IIT JEE preparation should never be omitted, at all.

SmartLearn’s academic team is providing you the best way to study mathematics. Learning Mathematics is like learning the art of solving problems and not just knowing formulae and concepts. You need to focus more on problem solving instead of just reading theories, formulae and solutions, if you want to improve your mathematics.

Following are some instructions/tips that would definitely help you learn mathematics better:

Make a habit to study Mathematics with a paper and pen: More you work out, better you remember. Even If you are learning formulae and concepts, have a habit of writing it down the paper. Concentration is the key word to study mathematics. Whether you are solving a problem or reading mathematical steps of a solution you need better concentration and focus. So my suggestion would be to sit on a table chair with no disturbance around. If your room is noisy, you can put cotton balls in your ears.

Spend more time in solving problems instead of reading solutions/theories/formulae: More you practice, better you would learn. It is very important that you solve problems to learn topics in mathematics. Just understanding concepts and learning formulae would not be sufficient to be able to solve questions in exam. In mathematics more than 50% of the knowledge comes through tricks/methods involved in solving problems. If you don’t practice questions, you don’t acquire this knowledge. In fact learning in Mathematics starts the day you start solving problems with pen and paper.

Learning Procedure: Priority should be given to learning formulae and concepts before working out the problems. Write them and see how confident you are. You should start working out solved-examples only after learning the concepts and formulae. This should be the procedure of study for easy understanding of the solved examples as in every questions we use multiple formulae. Formulae play a vital role in mathematics, as you will not be able to proceed with the problems once you forget the formulae. Then proceed with the next level of questions that is average level questions.

We can decide the level of the questions based on the ability to solve the questions.

Level 1 – If you can understand the solution just by a glance.

Level 2 – If you can understand the solution after going through the complete solution step-by-step.

Level 3 – If you find it hard to understand the solution.

You can start with 35-45 level 1 problems and make sure that the formulae and concepts of these problems are clear so that you can move to the next level of problems. Then practice at least 35-45 level 2 problems and make sure that the concepts and solutions are clear. Then try to solve level 3 problems. When compared to level 1 and level 2 problems, level 3 problems are less important.

Give importance to revision: In case you are not able to solve any of the problems, you try to solve it or else you see their solutions. Generally when you see the solution and know the problem solving methodology, you do nothing after that. In a weeks time you forget the solution. In case you are asked to solve the same problem again, you might not be able to solve it.

I strongly feel that you should solve the problems by yourself with paper and pen after seeing the solution. This helps you retain the solutions in your mind for a longer time when compared to seeing the solutions alone. When you try a problem mark the difficulty level of the question so that it will be easy for future reference. Select a few questions which are quite difficult and take up a test with a fixed time. This procedure increases your confidence and makes your mathematical skills more powerful.

At the time of revision you will have confusion as to what to revise at the time before the exams. Just take up the level 2 questions and start revising. This will be helpful only if you mark the questions as level 2 or level 1.

Trying out the problems before looking into the solutions: As far as we have reviewed, students have the tendency to look into the solution page before trying out the problems. They sit with the books and study materials around which makes them easy to look into the solutions before trying out the problems. We strongly fight back this kind of attitude in some students. Once you continue this, you will become a dependent on solutions and you tend to surrender yourself to the solutions. The students should have a fighting attitude when it comes to the problem solving in subjects. Not for all questions you can follow this, at least for 70%-80% questions you can try it for yourself before looking into the solutions.

Interest makes you perform better: yes, interest makes you work better and perform better. As mathematics involves puzzles, tricks, problems, you can perform better only if you like the subject. When you attempt a problem and you succeed in that, feel very proud of you. In the same way, don’t get frustrated when you fail to solve the problem. Instead feel thrilled when you take help from solutions. Try to solve questions which you took help from the solutions once again so that make sure that you don’t repeat the same mistake.

Creative learning process: Learning formulae is a tiring work for the students. When things are made creative it makes learning fun for you. You can make paper cards of the formulae and tricks and carry it with you. You can learn it at any place, this helps you build your knowledge in a creative way.

Help your friends: If your friends have some problem in solving a particular problem, help them in solving if you know how to solve. This will surely generate confidence in you and builds your confidence too.

Organizing Chairman

Studying in IIT is the biggest dream for the students who aspire to become an engineer. IIT is one of the leading Engineering Colleges in India who produce the best Engineers who are holding top and responsible positions globally. IIT JEE (Joint entrance Examination) is the entrance exam to get into IIT. IIT JEE is one of the toughest Engineering Exams in India. In order to get through IIT JEE, a student needs to have a clear idea about the topics and concepts.

Planning

One of the most important components to crack IIT-JEE is a perfect plan. Any competitive examination needs a perfect plan to crack the exam. To begin the preparations for any competitive exam, it is never too early. A student can start the preparation as early as possible, in class 10^th or even before that if he/she is too focused. A student can even start preparing even after class 12^th putting in hard work on the preparation .

Clear your basic concepts

An IIT Aspirant has to make sure that the concepts are understood clear whichever stage it may be (either class 10^th or above). There are 3 sections in IIT JEE, namely physics, chemistry, mathematics. The syllabus is mostly from the class 11^th and 12^th syllabus. The basic concepts in each of this subject in class 11^th and 12^th should be made clear which will be helpful when it comes to preparing .

If you have just cleared you 12th board exam:

• · Clear your class 11th & 12th theory & concepts:

The class 11^th and 12^th syllabus plays a major role in IIT JEE syllabus, therefore you first have to revise and clear your theory and concepts which you have studied in class 11^th and 12^th. syllabus has to be completed in one-month time as you have already completed your class 12^th board exams. Follow the NCERT books and try solving all the questions contained in them while revising the theory.

Make sure that you make note of your weakness and strong points. Now give importance to the weak points in each subject more when compared to your strong ones. You can also get help from a good personal tutor or your friends who are preparing .

• Problem Solving:

After you are through with class 11th & 12th theory & concepts, you should start solving entrance type questions in each subject from some good guide or some other relevant books. Study every topic again in which you have gained knowledge already, but this will not be enough for IIT JEE. So, get your fundamentals clear in them.

To develop problem solving skills, you can follow the same steps given above.

Solve questions cyclically:

To start with, select any chapter and pick up some questions, try to solve them. Then move on to the next chapter and select some questions and work it out. Same way proceed to the next few chapters so that you cover all the chapters in that particular subject. Now again return to the first chapter and start solving the same chapters again. This process of revision helps you remember the concept and the method for a longer time.

Studying like this will help you in revising each chapter periodically. You can make a timetable on your calendar and study accordingly. Also, make sure that you revise every topic of each subject at least once every month.

Model question Papers/Test Series:

Solve model question papers in each subject to further strengthen your chances of clearing the entrance exam. Focus extra on those topics, which you feel are the most difficult for you. For some more practice, you can also join the test series of any good coaching institute.

If followed conscientiously, you will certainly be able to easily crack IIT-JEE and other engineering entrance exams like AIEEE and BITS-Pilani entrance etc. Thoroughly read your textbooks and make your study plan accordingly to your study style and convenience so that you crack IIT JEE easily.

Minimum Academic Qualification

The minimum academic qualification for B.E/B.Tech admission through IIT JEE is a pass grade in 12^th or its equivalent. In case the relevant qualifying examination is not a public examination, the candidate must have passed at least one public (Board or Pre-University) examination at an earlier level. Those appearing in 12^th final or equivalent examination in 2010 can also appear in IIT JEE-2010. The students who will be appearing for the qualifying examination in 2011 or later are not eligible to apply. All provisional admissions will stand cancelled if the proof of having passed the qualifying examination (10+2 or its equivalent) is not submitted to the Institute concerned by September 30, 2010.

A candidate can attempt only twice, in consecutive years. Those who have appeared in 2008 or earlier are not eligible for appearing in 2010.

Candidates appearing in JEE-2010 should have either passed the qualifying examination in 2009 or should be appearing in 2010. They should also satisfy the specific eligibility criteria in the qualifying examination. Candidates who have passed the qualifying examination before October 1, 2008 are not eligible to write JEE-2010.

The admissions are subject to verification of facts from the original certificates/documents of the candidates. If an applicant is not eligible, if it is found at a later date, the institution has the rights to cancel his/her admission. The decision of the Joint Admissions Board regarding the eligibility of any applicant shall be final.

The list of qualifying examinations is given below:

1. The final examination of the 10+2 system, conducted by any recognized Central/State Board, such as Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi; Council for Indian School Certificate Examination, New Delhi; etc.
2. Intermediate or two-year Pre-University Examination conducted by a recognized Board/ University.
3. Final Examination of the two-year course of the Joint Services Wing of the National Defence Academy.

8. Senior Secondary School Examination conducted by the National Open School with a minimum of five subjects.
9. 3 or 4-year Diploma recognized by AICTE or a State Board of Technical Education.

Date of Birth

Only those candidates whose date of birth falls on or after October 01, 1985 are eligible for JEE-2010. However, in the case of SC, ST and PD candidates, upper age limit is relaxed by 5 years, i.e., SC, ST and PD candidates who were born on or after October 01, 1980 are eligible. Only the date of birth as recorded in your High School/first Board/Pre-University Certificate will be taken as authentic. Candidates must produce this certificate in original as a proof of their age at the time of counseling, failing which they will be disqualified.

Physical Fitness

All qualified candidates will have to submit a Physical Fitness certificate from a Registered Medical Practitioner in a prescribed format that will be made available to them at an appropriate time. They will be admitted only if they are physically fit for pursuing a course of study at the participating Institutes.

Special Requirements for Mining Engineering and Mining Machinery Courses

Candidates opting for these courses should make sure that they are free from color blindness. They will be required to submit a certificate from a Registered Medical Practitioner to this effect at the time of counseling. The standard of visual acuity with or without glasses will be adhered strictly for candidates seeking admission in Mining as per DGMS Circular 14 of 1972. Persons with one-eyed vision are not permitted to work underground. Candidates with above limitations are not allowed to opt for admission to Mining Engineering or Mining Machinery Engineering.

Women Candidates for Mining Courses
