How can you avoid negative marking in IIT-JEE and other engineering entrance examinations? IIT-JEE is the qualifying exam for admission to IIT and is scheduled every year
You cannot totally avoid it. It is a function of your risk-taking ability. But nobody has cleared JEE just by taking risk alone. Your subject knowledge should score over the fears of negative marking. Also keep in mind that questions will require you to bring together concepts from different chapters.
Q) Can I leave the qualitative analysis part in Inorganic?
A) Qualitative Analysis had four questions in 2006 JEE.
Q) In chemistry which section has more weightage Organic or Inorganic?
A) The split between Physical, Inorganic and Organic Chemistry is 40:30:30.
Q) How many hours do one need to study to crack IIT entrance?
A) It depends from person to person their IQ level and other factors but Four hours a day from the start of XI Std itself - this is other than classes and coaching classes.
Q) Sir, what is the eligibility/percentage required to appear for iit-jee
A) 60 per cent in XII Std.
Q) What is the determining subject for getting the top rank in IIT?
A) All subjects have equal weightage. But based on last year's cut offs , mathematics seem to be the toughest subject among the three.
Q), I want to know what is fee structure of B.Tech. programs in IITs ? is it semester fees or Annual fees ? I heard that now-a-days fee is too much for middle class ??? Pls suggest.
A) Total fee payable on admission varies between Rs 22,000 and 26,000. After that the semester fee is between Rs 15,000 and 18,000 in the various IITs.
Q) I am feeling tensed and least interested in studying. How to overcome this?
A) Tension is a mental phenomenon. On a ligher side, it is also a physical property, related to elasticity. You can take everything in the right perspective, if you want to !!!
Q) Sir is there any individual cut offs this year as all subjects will be tested in both papers
A) There are individual cut-offs in the JEE 2007. The cutoffs will be based on the combined performance in both papers.
Q) What was the top mark in IIT JEE last year in Open Category?
A) May be All India Rank 28 scored 357 marks in JEE 2006.
Q) Is there a cut off in each subject that you need to clear in Mains?
A) There is no mains. but there are individual cut-offs for different papers
Q) sir, can we avoid rotational motion in physics, as its very difficult
A) Not at all. It is one of the most important areas -- last year, 18 marks out of 184 came from this topic alone.
Q) With just a few days to go for IITJEE, what kind of preparation strategy should we follow from now onwards?
A) Take many model papers and study the difference in the suggested solution and your approach.
Q) How do I build up my fundamentals?
A) That will take time. Assuming that you will target JEE later than 2007, we can do that.
Q) Is there any website that gives information on the cut-off marks of IIT JEE v/s ranks obtained under various categories?
A) Not in the various categories. An analysis suggests that Maths, Physics, Chemistry was 47, 52 and 56 for JEE last year. The total marks for each subject were 184.
Q) Now that only 20 days are left for the exam to go, is it a good idea spend more time on problem solving techniques and brushing up concepts?
A) Ideally, you should now just do model papers and study the best possible ways of solving the questions as suggested by the solutions.
Q) is tmh enough for jee maths
A) Any one book is not enough. You need to bank on different publications.
Q) Which is the of IIT Importance.
A) All IITs have a brand value that is recognised all over the world. Let's focus on that issue afer the All India results are out.
Q) I m in xth standard... Please tell me how to plan for next two years to target IIT...
A) Immediately after the X std exms, u should start preparing for JEE 2009. There are good training programmes that stretch for two years, focussing on JEE 2009. Sustain the initial enthusiasm over 24 months and you are there.
Q) What should we do to avoid negative marking??
A) You can't totally avoid it. It is a function of your risk-taking ability . But nobody has cleared JEE just by taking risk alone. Your subject knowledge should score over the fears of negative marking. Also keep in mind that questions will require you to bring together concepts from different chapters.
Q) Should we try mock test or concentrate on study?
A) Now do one mock test every two to three days. And do seriously go though the suggested solution to see where your thinking and analysis digressed from the ideal critical path of problemsolving.
Q) does online question series by some of the institutes is a good proposition to attempt during these 20 days.
A) Definitely. Any amount of practice with good quality material backed up by what we will call "post mortem" analysis after the test would do you good.
Q) What should be the strategy while attempting questions during the exam??? attempting 100% questions or devoting time to answer them???
A) You should not attempt 100 per cent. definitely. Even a 65 per cent net score should get you an AIR that will land you in a college of your choice.
Q) how much time do you think v should take to complete physics paper
A) Separate time limits is not mentioned in the brochure. Ideally, one hour each. A little more for your weakest subject, while taking a little time away from the subject where you are strong. This is to ensure clearing of cut off.
Q) Is there any question bank that gives fusion questions in Maths, Physics and chemistry alongwith solutions?
A) If you mean combining PCM together, no. If you mean application of maths in physics etc, yes.
Q) Which is the best book to prepare for Chemistry? And, also problems in Chemistry? very little good problem literaure is available in Chemistry. Could you suggest some good books?
A)That is not a correct assessment. comparatively, the problem solving area of che is lesser that math and phy. But in physical chemistry, you do get a lot of numericals. The books in the market definitely cover these...
Q) how do one find that which is the right career for him?
A)If you mean, which branch, let's worry about it afer the All-India result (AIR) is out.
Q) SIR, PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION: Which is the best book to prepare for Chemistry? And, also problems in Chemistry? very little good problem literaure is available in Chemistry. Could you suggest some good books?
A) Arihant is good.
