It wasn’t long ago that I had received a huge response from you people regarding my AIEEE and BITSAT posts.After the euphoria died down I received many comments from students on those posts asking for tips on how to go about cracking engineering exams.So I decided to get down to work.

I have learnt many hard lessons in my past couple of years while preparing for my entrance examinations.I would summarize the main points in list so that they are easy to remember…

• First and most important is to have confidence in yourself.Don’t lose that confidence while preparing for the entrance exams even if you are not doing well in the coaching classes.
• Having mentioned about coaching classes,I would say they play an important role in helping you crack the exam.The simple reason being continued guidance throughout the year and perpetual tests that keep you in touch with course all the time.Hence it is important to be regular in them to be able to achieve good results in the end.
• At home prepare a time table and follow it strictly.Don’t ignore it.
• Don’t get too involved with only engineering books and refer to NCERT books too.With the new IIT pattern, a lot of questions are directly made from there which you might have already seen yourself by analyzing this year’s paper.
• Don’t waste time and don’t stress yourself.Study in a balanced way and maintain a good friend circle who will guide you when you face doubts and also boost your morale.
• This one is for toppers!Don’t get complacent.Many good rankers in coaching institutes get complacent if they good marks which in is bad in the long run as they lose out to lower rankers in the end.I have seen many cases.
• To crack big papers it is very very important to be able to solve the paper completely.You might know all the questions but not been able to solve them is equivalent to not knowing them.So the golden rule is practice a lot of sample papers and in the exams not to waste time on a single question.
• Stay away from computers as much as possible! This is a major distraction from students from towns and cities as you don’t get to know how quickly time is slipping out of your hands along with straining your eyes and body which makes you dizzy and you are off to sleep!
• Choosing the right books for entrance exams is very important.Consult IITians and your teachers about them to make sure that you get your hands on the right ones and don’t waste your time in trying out new books every time.
• Last but very important point is not to get nervous while going for the exam.This will get your hands and brain move faster,quicker and better than those who are nervous!

These 10 are my golden rules which if followed strictly will definitely help you crack the paper and you will emerge out with flying colors!!

With IIT-JEE just about 6 months away, there is still time left to improve on the basics and walk through the gates of your favorite IIT by just following these 10 simple but golden rules..Best of Luck to you all!

A lot of you have been curious to know what will the expected cut-off for BITSAT this year.I don’t promise to give you exact cut-off but can assure you a rough approximation that will bring you closer to reality.

A look at last year’s cut-off :

So as you can see its pretty much above 300 except for some lower rung courses.According to me cut-off will dip this year by atleast 10 marks if not more.I have quite a few reasons to believe so but would not like to discuss about them.

So 274 might be the cut-off for M.Sc.(Hons.): Biological Sciences in BITS,Goa which is the least preferred course.

Hope this helps.
