To be successful in the JEE, a student should first master
the fundamentals of Intermediate (or 11th and 12th) syllabus,
followed by attempts to get into the depth of the subject by
solving relevant short but twisted problems from various text
books. Potentially, attending a good coaching centre could
boost an individual's rank or help get a rank in the first
place. Parents and students have to realize, though, that a
coaching center can never be a substitute for intelligence
and hard work.

To get through AIEEE it is enough for the student
to know which answer, among the four choices, is correct. To
get through the IIT
JEE, the student should know why the
remaining three choices are incorrect. Though seemingly
obvious, mastering this subtle difference can help the
students go a long way. To be successful in the JEE, a student should develop
basic aptitude towards mathematics and physical sciences.
This aptitude is best developed among children at the High
School level, but most schools prefer the "cramming stuff
into the head" approach to the "conceptual understanding"
approach.

Good coaching centers start to instill the basic
understanding approach back into the students, thus providing
what the high schools (and many times Junior Colleges) have
been unable to. The mad rush to get into these coaching
centers is thus an obvious phenomenon.

Thanks to some of these good coaching centers, the number of
students appearing for and qualifying through JEE, has been regularly
increasing. With the crop of these good coaching centers come
the weeds that have brought a bad name to the industry.
Taking advantage of the desperate students and parents, they
work on the principle of instilling fear of JEE into the hearts of parents and
students. The result of this misguidance leads the innocent
customers to believe that students need to learn a lot more
subject and spend a lot more time than they actually have to.

The obvious side effects of this have been the decrease in
student efficiency (utility or knowledge gained per unit time
spent on academics) and a drastic decrease in the amount of
time and effort spent on the absolutely necessary, basic
intermediate education.
|
|
Depending on the grasping power of an individual, he/she can
achieve this either by sitting at home or by attending
effective coaching classes. Neglecting intermediate syllabus,
attending coaching centers which dump inappropriate
educational material (of very high standard) on students,
mostly to overwhelm them and adopt scary tactics on the
innocent parent community have always been and will continue
to be, recipes for disaster. So I suggest you to keep these
points in mind and start your preparation
