Don't neglect boards for IITs

There is one group of students who tries to focus on IIT preparations while leaving their regular classes and XII board preparations on back burners. this group of students is not aware about how much important XII boards are. Barring very rare one or two instances I have not seen any student achieving and AIR below hundred and at the same time not scoring more than 80% marks in XII. student achieving below 100 AIR must have studied hard. the two boards and IIT JEE preparations are inseparable. Even IIT JEE organizing committee is mulling rasing the cut-off marks of XII board examinations. More prudent approach would be to take out some time daily from your studies for focused IIT JEE preparations. Keep Sundays specially free for YG Files or IIT JEE assignments. A balanced approach will ultimately prove to be more superior than concentrated effort on one direction only.
