Coping With Board and IT Entrance Exams Together

Coping with Board and IT entrance exams together

A proper curriculum can reduce the work pressure/perform­ance pressure of a student & get him a very high score in CBSE & high/respectable rank in IIT-JEE/AIEEE etc.

Content of the subject of CBSE BOARD & IIT-JEE Syllabus is same. The difference is only in the pat­tern of questions.

While CBSE Board/School Exams have their questions based upon:

• Definitions/Basic principles/ Laws.
• Logical questions based upon the basic principles & requiring high analytical ablity.
• Direct numericals based upon the basic principles.
• Classical derivations.
• Applications based dedica­tions

IIT-JEE/AIEEE Exams have their questions based upon:

• Objective question based upon the basic principles/fundamental as laws/definitions.
• Objective numericals based upon the basic principles/ fundamentals laws/defini­tions.
• Indirect objective questions based upon multiple con­cepts & applications involv­ing high thinking capacity & analytical ability.
• Objective question based upon the steps of classical derivations.
• Objective question based upon the steps of applica­tions based derivations

The proper methodology to deal with the difference in the pattern of questions is:

• As we say “Necessity is the Mother Of Invention”, discussion of the development of the subject matter through the daily life problems is required so the law/defini­tions appears to be necessi­ty to summarize it.
• Coverage of Basic princi­ples/ Definitions & Fundamental Laws.
• Logical applications of the Basic principles in day-to-day life to generate high thinking capacity.
• Effect of change in vari­ables/conditions on the usual results predicted by the basic principles/laws.
• Extension of the definitions (a) to generate classical der­ivations (b)to generate logi­cal/applications based derivations.
• The coverage of complicated applications based upon multiple concepts requiring high analytical ability.
• We say “The problems in the Board Exams or in IIT-JEE/AIEEE reflect the beau­ty of the subject”. Exposure to such problems makes you see the beauty of the subject using the capacity/informa­tion generated through earli­er steps.
• The test & discussion.
• Remedial Classes.
