Tips & Tricks for achieving your IIT dream
So, as an IITian and as an ex JEE aspirant, I would love to share some tips and tricks that made my life easier and helped me get in IIT.
The lessons about entrance exams of IIT that I learnt are still relevant even in the modern corona world. Although, in this world now self confidence and being self motivated has become all the more important. Students are having a hard time dealing with new reality but those who can adjust and play the game by the new rules without getting agitated will be the ones who will cross the finish line with golden colours.
Let’s begin with some academic tips:
Join a Good Coaching: I know you must be thinking, why to join coaching when you can’t attend classes for now. But that’s not true. Joining a coaching even if the classes are going online is important because it would help you keep a check on your prep, syllabus, concepts, practice and your status. Your preparation would be directional. You would be able to seek guidance from faculty, and peers. You will know how far you are done with your syllabus, how are you performing and much more. And from my experience, FIITJEE is the best coaching in both online and offline modern. But you can join whatever you find best for you.
Join Online Class: From my experience, many students had left preperation during Covid due to uncertainity in exams and that is when they lost the battle. My sister joined online coaching and practised on Mypat, thanks to FIITJEE
Join a Test Series: For building the right temperament, knowing where you stand, practicing time management, revision during an exam, you should definitely go for a test series. FIITJEE conducts a Computer Based All India Test Series. This is the best test series in my experience. The feedback system is simply amazing. They share a lot of conclusions like weak areas, areas to work on, predicted rank and ways to improve that rank. This is very important for building the right temperament for the exam and conditioning it to be on top of its game during the exam time.
Previous Year Questions: I personally consider them the most important practice problem book for JEE advanced preparation. Whatever topic you finish, practice all the problems that IIT has asked in previous years. This would be instrumental in building your concepts and problem solving ability.
Grand Master Package (GMP): GMP is an exclusive fundamental search based package of 1500 top quality problems on new patterns testing your understanding of the subject, developed by FIITJEE Advanced exam. This study package is the best way to revise the entire syllabus in the least amount of time possible. It is specifically designed for helping students revise, polish, consolidate, apply and practice concepts for JEE. Even people from other coachings have it.
Do at least 15-20 mins of meditation daily.
Practice Yoga or some kind of physical exercise even if it is just an early morning walk.
Try to avoid indulging with news channels or watching any kind of negative news.
All the best. Shine bright like a diamond.
