5 Common Mistakes students make while choosing College

1. Proximity to Hometown

This has cost a lot many, a lot much. In today’s Global era, there is no such thing as proximity. Students think that they will be near to parents. Hence end up chossing wrong college. After 3-4 years of college, job will for sure take you different places. Choose the college that best suits your plans in life, not your plans to travel.

2. My relative said so

This is a common mistake. We call is wrong counselling. Students end up taking the word of a close relative and choose the wrong college. Don’t follow what they say blindly. Take suggestions, make enquiry. Reach an informed decision and not just play blind.

3. Topper Syndrome 

All the toppers are taking a particular stream. I should also choose the same. One size fits all is never a good option. Think what you want to do in life. What you want to become. Will you be able to cope up with a particular stream of studies? You should not fall for the Topper Syndrome.

4. He/She is also joining there

Believe me I have seen a lot of youngsters falling into this trap. They join the same college which their boyfriend/girlfriend (or mere infatuation sometimes) us choosing. Such students more often than not end up destroying their lives. Since they didn't choose the college out of merit, studies take a back seat. Secondly school romances rarely materialize. Boy/Girl end up hooking with someone else in college, and you are left to burn daily of angst. Never choose college from heart, apply the brain please.

5. It pays well

This is a dreadful thing to do to you. You choose a college/stream for it is currently fetching handsome salaries. You don’t choose what you like. This creates a lot of complexity. You have to like what you are studying or what you are doing. If you don’t like it, life ends up miserable. You can earn in any field if you got talent and will. But choosing a college just for the sake of money is bound to give a prolonged miserable life.

IIM Odisha racing against time to start admission from 2015 itself

IIM Odisha is racing against time to start admissions from this year itself. A team has been been constituted by Central Government to finalize temporary site for the college.

Once the site is finalized, the admissions process can start. Session start date for IIM Indore, which is helping with IIM Odisha is June 26, by which the site, if finalized, will be able to start admissions. This comes as a good news for IIM aspirants.

The date of 26th June might be tweaked if everything falls in place for IIM Odisha. The four member team is led by Praveen Kumar, joint secreatary MHRD. Given the push from ministry level, Odisha might have it's own IIM sooner than anticipated.

According to Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), these candidates will get extra 20 mins per hour to write the exam to compensate for disability. This has been hailed by educationalists and students alike, as a historic gesture. 

Cerebral Palsy effects movement of body, while locomotor disability effects joints and muscles. Both hinders writing capacity. For 3 hours paper, 60 mins will be the grace time along with the use of scribe from 2015 onwards.

Didn’t clear IIT JEE: Don’t worry, its IIT’s loss, not yours!

Not a big deal anymore!
IIT JEE (Advanced) 2015 results are out. Few dreams fulfilled. A lot of heartbreaks. If you couldn’t clear JEE, don’t worry, its IIT’s loss, not yours. No need brooding over it. Today’s India is far more different that India of 15 years ago. Opportunities are far more than a decade ago. 

The hoopla of IIT’s has taken a toll on generations after generations. Lack of opportunities in India, coupled with IT boom and Y2k bug around the years 2000, resulted in a mad rush to IIT’s. Just like becoming an IAS started meant lots of power and black money, IIT’s started became synonymous with US visa. If you need to get out of India, clear JEE. Rampant corruption, crippling infrastructure, lack of jobs, lower wages all came together to the point of feeling, “To Hell with India” and “India ka kuch nahin ho sakta”. 

That Indians working abroad, don’t like to admit it, is not a sign of their arrogance and hypocrisy. It’s coz they still have soft corner about their birth country. They fled not because they are bad, they fled due to circumstances. 

As of today, a lot of such IT workers have come back to India. Lots of them have lost their jobs in US/UK, due to recession and global uprising against out sourcing.  Pay scales have increased 10 fold in India since the year 2000. Today if you are bright, you get a plum job and can live a lavish life in any metro city in India. It’s easy for both husband and wife to get a job in the same city in India. Abroad it’s very difficult. So one of the two ends up working. 

What I am trying to get at is, if you don’t clear JEE, don’t worry. Handsome opportunities beckons. Stay focused and be confident. That’s all I ask of you.

AIPMT 2015 Cancelled: 6 Tips for Students

Supreme Court cancelled All India Pre Medical Test (AIPMT) 2015. 

More than six lac students who appeared for the exams are facing some anxious moments. 

I am sure they are having millions of questions. 

Don't worry folks, Here are few tip on what you can do in the meanwhile.



Here are 6 Next steps that can help students.


1. Since this a Supreme Court verdict, it is highly unlikely that the decision will change. Time to mentally prepare yourself that re-exam is bound to happen.

2. Stop thinking and start reading. There is no point of endless debates with parents and friends about the CBSE or Supreme Court verdict. It won't help you. You will get a lot of time in life to think about this nightmare. Immerse yourself in your books.

3. Most probably exam will be held 1 month from now. 12th July Sunday seems to be a date as of now. Things will get clear in coming days. Given the logistics involved in organising the exam, it seems unlikely to take place any-time before that.

4. Imagine that exam is still one month away and prepare accordingly. Don't brood over what date CBSE will declare for the re-exam. They will do whatever/whenever they wish. You start revising with one month timetable. 

5. Consider last exam as a mock test. Don't get bogged down by your performance in that exam. Every exam is different. Every day is new. Maybe it's your lucky break. You might better your performance. Don't be too over confident too, if you cracked last exam well. Time to put in hard work again.

6. Keep yourself stress free. Talk to your parents and take their help if required. Just don't take tension.

For more information check AIPMT website.

Controversy in Answer Key for IIT JEE (Advanced) 2015

Barely 3 days before the JEE (Advanced) 2015 results, IIT has released an updated answer key for the exam.

Controversy erupted after leading coaching classes and students analysed the previous answer sheet provided by IIT. A physics question had two correct answers while another one was muddled in ambiguity. After much hue and cry, marks are being to people who have marked either of the answer, while bonus marks will be given to all students for ambiguous mathematics question.

Even with this move controversy is not dying down. Students who didn't attempt the physics question fearing negative marking are up in arms. In IITs every single mark can result in up to 100 change in JEE ranks.

Please check the updated answer sheet for Paper 1 and Paper 2 below,

How Not to Not-Crack IIT?

Okay the heading reads goofy, I admit it. But there is a reason behind it. A lot of people meet me for counselling on "How to crack IIT?". What I tell them forms the crux of the article.

What I will tell today, might seem far fetched but believe me, it is the truth. Cracking IIT is not a tough task in itself. All it requires is good guidance and lack of luxury.

The more you live a life of luxury, the difficult it becomes to crack IIT. Remember sense of security breeds incompetence. I urge parents not to indulge too much into their child's wishes at the early age. Imbibe in him/her a sense of insecurity related to money. Don't make it easy on him.

This has to come from inside, I will lead life of a poor man, if I don't crack IIT. This my friend is the easiest way to crack IIT.

I have observed most of the students are sharp. Just that they put their energies in different fields. A good guidance is all one needs. Teacher might not be good academician. He should be a good motivator. Academics will be taken care of by the student himself, who don't want to live poor.

Most of you might not agree with my approach. But it is what it is.

A sense of insecurity and a good a motivator is all one needs.
