Hello Guys and Girls,
If you are reading this blog hoping that you would get a good advice of achieving a top rank in IIT-JEE, believe me, you are reading the wrong blog! I am an average person with a terrible rank (6204). But maybe I can tell you some of my mistakes, which really managed to screw up my performance. Lets start with my initial period of Jee preparation. I was dead serious about getting a good rank, but unfortunately there were 4 lakh others to give me company. I had scored 100 in Mathematics in my 10th boards, but unfortunately there were 1000 others who had done the same. So I knew I was playing a risky game.
Believe me, I wasn't dumb. Just two months down the lane, I used to solve the doubts of my felllow classmates and teach them the parts they failed to understand. I did not study myself but I took immense pleasure in helping others study. This is how I made the first mistake of my Jee preparation. I am not a person who likes to praise himself but still let me tell you an incident which happended after a year of studying for Jee. We had a Math class and our prof had given us an interesting sum to solve. The sum carried a prize amount of 500 bucks and guess what? I won it! I won it in a class where people like Kandarp (A.I.R - 13) were present! At that moment I realized that I had the potential to crack the Jee code with a decent rank. Actually everyone who got a rank as pathetic as mine had the potential. Who do we blame? The system? For keeping so much reservations that the General category is left with just 50% of the total seats? Or our professors? for not extracting the best in us? No dears, we blame ourselves for not just putting in enough! I have seen the amount of efforts Kandarp put in. It was really impressive! That guy survived the two years without television and facebook! Doesnt he deserve his rank? And moreover, do I deserve that? Here are the mistakes I made which really screwed my prospects of going into one of the prestigious IIT's

Here are the mistakes I made which really screwed my prospects of going into one of the prestigious IIT's
- Not studying when I had loads of time
- Spending loads of time on making useless timetables (how ironic!)
- Spending hours facebooking and playing Mafia Wars
- Spending hours watching the idiot box
- Not taking the mock tests seriously
- Keeping a lot of pending work
- Many more....
Well, I suppose almost everyone made the almost same mistakes.
ReplyDeleteWell yes u are absolutely right in each and everything you said buddy but ....... are these efforts really worth it ???? There is a very small margin of difference between well trained and well educated and i feel the indian education system to be on the former side. Slog 2 years , go to IITs (OMG the temples of engineering) and then sit back on a desk and do 8 to 5 job.
ReplyDeleteIf you really want to value 1 thing - value intellect and interests and not just efforts !!!!
I bet you 4 years down the line you would understand what i mean to say if not now
