Before starting entrance preparation
Negative marking – The right approach.
Before venturing into this ambitious task of preparing for NEET /IIT/ JEE entrance examinations , it is a crucial step look into various factors linked to it. Let’s have a quick look.
- Career options.
- PCB( Biology stream ) or PCM ( Mathematics stream ) or both.
- Buy so many guides and keep in the shelf.
There are various career options beyond medicine and engineering which are quite promising and lucrative. Browse these options, take an aptitude test, have a session with a career guide, do one’s own research , discuss with parents and teachers and come to a plan regarding a possible career that suits well with the personality traits, aspirations and interests of the student.
Half the battle is won if the student is clear about this after the 10 th grade. As the entrance examinations are very competitive and the time available is same to all, the complete attention can be focussed either to PCB or PCM , right from the outset if the student is clear about what he is interested in. Chasing both PCB and PCM together can turn counterproductive for an above average student, albeit we agree that there are exceptions.
It is a commonly encountered scenario wherestudents buy different guides, subscribe to several online courses and ultimately leave it half way during their preparation. Consistently follow a single standard book ( NCERT ) plus guidance from a renowned entrance training academy is good enough to clear NEET / IIT – JEE.
