Train well for IIT-JEE

Mumbai: With just two days to go for the IIT-JEE results, engineering aspirants are once again focusing on this extremely competitive gateway to the renowned institutes in the world.
Arun Khetan, CEO and managing director, New Age Knowledge Solutions points out that IIT-JEE is one of those rare exams in which students participate en-masse, approximately 4,50,000 as per estimates and only two per cent are selected - and only around 0.4 per cent are selected to the premium IITs. Tough exam pattern prohibit the students getting selected just by fluke.
Underlining the need for aspirants to gear up properly for the challenge, Khetan says that there are certain aspects that should be kept in mind while choosing an institute for the two-year preparatory course.
"Apart from checking on the institute set up, infrastructure etc, students should look at faculty profile, track record and contribution in producing IITians year after year; method of teaching, systematic and error free study material, assessment mechanisms, guidance and counselling assistance provided."
"To succeed in their goal, IIT aspirant must ideally be intelligent and hardworking, systematic in approach towards studies and a meticulous pursuer of the target, with good ability to reason, capability to grasp and analyse various subjects and topics at a time," Khetan adds.
Vinaykumar, CEO, Rao IIT Academy, emphasises that candidates who secure an All India Rank (AIR) get recognition at all India level in an apex level competitive examination. This feeling of pride and being part of an elite group makes IIT-JEE a special thing.
According to Vinaykumar, for the two-year preparatory course, aspirants should ensure that the institute is a vision of a national level committed educationist.
"It should have pan India level operations, with its branches all over. The passing percentage in IIT-JEE level competitive examination should be comparatively high. What really matters is the percentage selection, the quality of faculty and student care," he advises.
