Tips & Tricks on how to crack Engineering Entrance Exams

In India, engineering is considered one of the primary career options which promise a secure future and a sound lifestyle. Despite all the memes trending on social media about the condition of engineering students, it still happens to be one of the career paths most walked on. One of the major reasons is that India is a developing country that needs a great number of engineers and technologists to gain a faster pace in economic, technological and infrastructural development which are seen as the symbols of development for any country worldwide. The government of India is very keen to encourage its youth to choose this field which can be seen through the policies and the increasing number of engineering colleges in India. 

The HRD ministry of India has released “India’s ranking report 2016” which lists top colleges for engineering, pharmacy, management etc. The top 10 Engineering colleges include:

1. IIT Madras

2. IIT Bombay

3. IIT Delhi

4. IIT Kharagpur

5. IIT Kanpur

6. IIT Roorkee

7. IIT Hyderabad

8. IIT Gandhinagar

9. IIT Ropar

10. IIT Patna

It does not come as a shock that the top 10 positions are acquired by IITs, as it is a well known fact that IITs are the most prestigious institutions to study engineering from. And to get into these institutions, one has to take the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). 

JEE is an all India common engineering entrance examination of objective pattern which is conducted for admission in various engineering colleges and courses all over the country. It is regarded internationally as one of the most challenging engineering admission tests and every year, about 200 to 300 thousand students selected every year the examination. 

IIT JEE is a 2 phase examination which includes JEE Main (first stage) and JEE Advanced (final stage). Both the stages are equally difficult to clear but 

Simple habits you can adopt to crack the exam:

1.You should set a daily target and try to achieve it. This will help you complete the syllabus in time and to be organised while preparing for the exam.

2. Bifurcate the syllabus and allot a set no. of days to complete it in a way that you get enough time to revise the syllabus before the exam.

3. Keep taking mock tests while preparing. This will give you an idea about how much you’ve actually gained from the previous studies and what all you still need to work on. 

4. Try to get enough sleep before the exam so as to be more alert and perform better.

5. Most importantly, try to stay motivated throughout the preparation duration and keep focusing on your aim instead of getting carried away by any kind of negative comments or thoughts from outside or within
