IIT JEE 2009 preparations -Physics

Every student who aspires to get below 100 AIR in IITs is expected to crack I.E Irodov’s problems. But don’t get discouraged if you are not in a position to crack even 50% of them. The problems are very tough. Even if you take hours and days in solving one problem don’t get disheartened. Even accomplished IITians have been able to solve only 30-35% of these problems. In my life, I have come across only one IITian who was in a position to crack almost all of the problems. He was my batch mate at IIT Kanpur and graduated in 1989.
Students should invariably stick to one or two books. Going in for many books, generally would not lead students anywhere. In case students have enrolled for question series or correspondence course then I.E Irodov and Resnick/Halliday along with study material will be more than sufficient to crack IIT with good rank.

IIT JEE 2009 preparations

Students taking IIT JEE 2009 entrance examination are expected to strike out balance between all the topics mentioned in the syllabus. None of Ex IITians or faculties from coaching institutes will tell you to put more stress on one topic at the cost of others. All topics in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are to be given equal weights. As far syllabus is concerned nothing much has changed over the years. The basics still remains the same. Students’ way back in eighties had the same fascination for calculus which present day students have. Chemistry was one subject which majority of aspiring students always neglected. But every IITian who had been able to secure within 100 IIT JEE AIR, would tell you the importance of paying attention on Chemistry. Mathematics and Physics, almost every student tries to perfect but Chemistry is the subject which decides whether you get a good IIT JEE AIR or not.

Minimum cut-off in boards for appearing IIT JEE 2009

IIT JEE 2009 organizing committee is mulling whether to enhance the cut-off marks of boards examinations for aspiring IIT JEE students. While the idea may seem right for the organizing committee as they have deal with lesser loads and scrutiny of test papers will be effective and faster but this may prove to be a shocker for the students who used to give lesser importance to boards. It has been seen over the last few years that students after completing their Xth classes head straight to mecca of IIT JEE preparations, Kota and there they enrol themselves in coaching classes and side by side take admissions in some nondescript schools. There have been some success stories but largely there have been failures. IIT mandarins need to wake up and take note of what it is going on in the name of coaching classes. IITs should look to screen raw brilliance than scout for trained minds. Lets see what happens.

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.

Coaching vs no coaching - IIT JEE preparations

IIT aspirants beware, IIT JEE organizing committee is mulling change in the pattern of examinations. Organizing committee has been forced to consider this because coaching institutes in Kota, Delhi, Chennai and many other smaller towns have perfected the art of making IITians from ordinary students. The theme is simple. Feed these IIT aspirants with many tricks based on previous years' patterns. These institutes have been succeeding till date but with IIT JEE catching up with them the going may be difficult. IIT JEE has resolved to capture raw minds with their new pattern and not the trained minds. So aspiring students keep your eyes and ears open. Wake up, energise your mind. Try to solve the problem on your own with deep understanding.

Life at IIT

Life at IIT is reminscent of best phase of an IITian's life. Life is so lively out there. Time just whizzes past without any realizatioon.
