Tips to crack engineering exams!
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!

There are far more important aspects of life which are to be focused on, for example finding the reason behind your existence. Big Bang has been proved right. Darwin’s Theory has been proved wrong. Leaving a GAP. The gap is that how we came into existence.
The obvious explanation is God.
Then going ahead and finding who is God. How to find? Through science. Many know the way. I can give you intellectual proves of God and his Reason for creating us(anarchyreintroduced@gmail.com). If God created this world, it has to be for a reason.
Being lost in such tedious things will only help distract you from such important issues.
You may not understand , though you will in a few decades.
