Enhancement of creativity through motivation and drive, which helps to produce |
|
|
professionals well trained for the rigours of the job/society. |
The seven IITs at Chennai, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Mumbai and Roorkee; and IT-BHU, Varanasi and ISM, Dhanbad offer courses leading to bachelor's degree in a number of engineering, technological and scientific disciplines.
JOINT ENTRANCE EXAMINATION (JEE)
Students are admitted to undergraduate courses through an All-India competition known as Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) conducted jointly by all the seven IITs, at various centres across the country in which over 3,00,000 candidates compete for nearly 5,000 seats. The admissions to the nearly 850 seats at the Institute of Technology-BHU, Varanasi; and ISM, Dhanbad are also done through JEE.
For IIT-JEE, the examination will have two objective-type papers of three-hour duration each. Both the papers will have three separate sections on Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics, designed to test the comprehension and analytical ability of the candidates.Students will get marks for Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics separately in the marks-card too.
NOTE:
|
The Joint Admission Board (JAB), the supereme body responsible for admission procedureof the IITs, is still busy in evolving the best standard and pattern of JEE. Changes, if any,for JEE, will be informed to the students accordingly. |
Misconception about New Pattern
In the new pattern, one misconception that more often prevails, in the minds of students, is that they think they can compete the JEE without studying the entire syllabus deeply, and erroneously believe that only superficial knowledge is required to solve the objective type questions.
At this juncture, students and guardians have to have in their minds is that to be successful in any objective type examination, the entire study is essential. Any short-cut is not sufficient to gain success. With a strategy, students must know the topics on selective but instant-recall basis, and should be competent to apply the instant knowledge/formulae directly on the data-set on PVAGA (Put Value and Get Answer) basis. For this, key points, features and formulae should all be on the finger-tips of the student and he/she should be capable and confident of managing the twist in the question.
Naturally, to meet this challenge, you have to prepare for the entire syllabus thoroughly,
meticulously and whole-heartedly.
It is our experience that owing to the changed pattern of JEE, a large section of students could not
answer the questions as expected by the examiners. This happens because the students are rather illequipped to cope with the pattern of examination.
The students must have all the capabilities as required for Objective Test, but should be proficient in handling lengthy simplifications in a fast yet accurate way. The student should also know the method of resolving short write-up based questions into a combination of objective type questions.
University Publication's Postal Guidance Course enables the student to do all this in a planned and systematic way even without the conscious efforts on the part of the students.
