Dr. Sanjeev verma answers, at 2012-03-26 14:49:50First of all, you should understand that for cracking any examination , you should have dire determination to succeed in the exam. If you have that, automatically hard work & luck will fall in place. The preparation for IIT is not easy but is neither not so tough. All you need in regular dedicated progress in the right direction You can also look for AIEEE, BIT SAT exams which are also based on the same syllabus
IITJEE asked, which is the best university for IIT JEE
Dr. Sanjeev verma answers, I am not sure what you imply by university but in case, if you want to know which coaching is good for IIT Jee preparation, that depends on lot of parameters - your location, your commitment towards school, your personal inclination etc. Anyway bottom line is choose a institute which could provide you 1) Care 2) Good material 3) Experienced faculties
saurav asked, sir i want to crack aieee, whats d most effective way to prepare in this one month???
Dr. Sanjeev verma answers, 1 month is a less time to revise the entire 2 yr syllabus but you can prioritize the topics in each subject. Make a plan for yourself which should include list of all topics and an allocated time against each. In the last 1 week, focus on previous year papers to get an idea of the pattern and the question type. On an average, AIEEE questions are more based on NCERT syllabus so you can quickly brush up concepts & examples from NCERT also.
saurav asked, SIR WHCH R MOST IMPORTANT CHAPTERS IN TERMS OF MARKS???
Dr. Sanjeev verma answers, In Mathematics, 4 C's are important 1) Calculus 2) Complex 3) Combinatorics (P&C , Probability) 4) Coordinate Geometry 1 & 4 comprise almost 50% of the paper. You should make a list of topics in which you feel confident and focus them for marks. Also, make a plan for those topics in which you are weak. You should dedicate time in this 1 month to improve the level to an average student level.
