hey fellas,

I am doing my ISC 11th this year & would like to start my prep. for IIT-JEE although I

have decided not to join any prep. institute for foundation courses this year(will join next

year).

so what help can i expect from the internet(free) in terms of preparation ?

thanks in advance :D
 
Where are you from man? In NCR region these are the best:

1. Narayana

2. VidyaMandir

3. FitJEE

But seriously, first see if you have the aptitude for IIT before wasting away 2 years in this coaching system. Seriously, I wish I could go back, and play all those inter-school football matches my coach asked me to, or had gone to all the events my teachers had asked me to, seriously, I regret not going to them.

THe institutes weren't anything to me, those who will clear IIT will do so with the books on their own. I left coaching at the right time, went through every tid-bit of the syllabus myself between July last year and December(then boards), and I worked my ass off these last 6 months, and I coped up pretty well. it was a hell ride, I wish there was someone telling me all this 2 years ago, when I was about to start class XI, but there wasn't, so I'm here to help others like me.
 
@Arun1:I wish i could rep u for that :D

@comp@ddict: I am not joing any coaching/institute this year for sure.......but want to get familiar with the syllabus and "solving style" :)
 
What's better - to join a coaching in class 12th and study by own in 11th OR

--------------- -to straightway join a coaching for a two year programme ? ( ISC)
 
See, if you do join, I suggest you join now and leave halfway if you dont like or continue if you like.

The thing is, the coaching classes give you that style of approach, to approach engineering style questions, which cant be developed at home. Once you get that in-grained in you, you can study all by yourself(better and faster). It's better then to study and learn yourself and ask doubts to some teacher when needed.

Joining in Class 12th will leave you confused. Those who join in CLass 11 take a year to get a hang-on and find the perfect balance, so by class 12, they can concentrate a little on boards too.

And please, if your teacher ever says "Yaha ke padhai se IIT, AIEEE or CBSE sab ho jayega", you ask him to shutup.
 
how about joining a coaching after 12th ......i mean giving a serious attempt in 2014 instead of 2013 ?..@the expense of 1 year

will this increase my chances?

Note: I am in ISC board so 11th syllabus is comparatively tougher than CBSE
 
Your first priority now should be to get good marks in the board exams as in the future, the board exam marks may be the criteria for admissions into the IIT. Coaching can be done after 12th.

1. dropping isn't worth it(all my friends who dropped keep telling me that)

2. a good balance can be found

3. find out if you are cut for IIT JEE, i.e. if you have the aptitude. If you dont(I sure dont), dont waste time on it, study for AIEEE, it will be far more fruitful, trust me.

Cut out for IIT doesn't mean day and night study, it comes naturally, the aptitude(hence coaching institutes have logical reasoning questions, extensively)

4. your board exams are gonna be there for rest of your life, like your name, make sure you score well, lest you say I'm from "so and So college" and the interviewer asks your 12th boards marks(and suppose, god forbid, you fared poorly at that)

5. Listen to all my advice carefully.
 
I don't think internet will help at all. Its best if you stay away from pc for the next two years and purely focus on your entrance exam, it will be worth it. I didn't do it myself but its easy to give lessons to other people from personal experiences. ;)

Vidyamandir is definitely top imo (only 150-200 students are chosen from all over India)

Fiit-jee

Narayna/Brilliant

crap.....I wish my daddy doesn't read that :P

how to?

i consider myself among the top 5 (if not 3) in 57 students that study with me in the pcm+computer batch

what ? I am sure I will not get below 70 % :P^^

It is not about getting above a certain marks (which is now 60% & not 70%).

If you've read about the report made by a committee for reforms in the IIT-JEE system, then you'll know that they're pushing for evaluation based on marks of board exams + an aptitude test for selection into IITs.

So your first priority should be to get max marks you can in your boards.

look, top 3 has nothing to do with it, trust me

I come there(3) but i'm pathetic at IIT questions. My friend comes wayy wayy down, but man he has brains, newton's ghost child you could say, cuz he aces every engi-based test, and the way he sees questions and their possible solutions(he's been coaching since class 9, he's in to JEE with 310 predicted score)

And lastly, our class topper, 96% 10th boards, believe me, 95+ 12th, she too was with me at narayana, left after 1 year, not good performance, said she can't do it at all.

So you see, class ranking has nothing to do with JEE and AIEEE aptitude.
 
^ Definitely agree with this. IIT requires a different kind of mindset. While I have seen folks clearing it with sheer hard work too, most cases I have seen are of dudes (and dudettes) with a natural flair for solving problems
 
i don't have that natural flair to be honest ......but i think i am above 'very good' category in understanding & solving problems :)
 
the first thing you should do is isolate yourself from the 'charm' and 'status' that comes from being an IITian.

once you do that, then evaluate yourself by going through some coaching material and perhaps taking a few trial classes (if they offer any).

you will know it by then.

and as someone said here, AIEEE may be far more rewarding if one switches focus to it completely.

Good Luck!
