How to prepare for IIT? 1-Introduction


Till my high school I never heard of IIT/NIT/AIIMS/ or any these kind of Institutions. I was the topper of my class. My father was a doing a government job but there aroused some problem in the Job due to governance. My family was facing financial problems. So I started to take some home tuitions in the town. Though it was not giving a very fascinating perks but was workable as I could pay my school fees and fulfil some basic necessities.
One day while I was teaching to one of my students at her home. A man came to her probably he was a relative of them. He asked few general type questions, was checking my knowledge. I answered all the questions. He got impressed and wanted to know more about me. I told him about me. Then he asked about my future plans. I said ,”I haven’t planed anything yet”. After board examinations result will be out then I’ll think what to do? Then he suggested me to think for IIT.
I am not writing my biography right now. Then why am I sharing an incidence of my life. I was lucky enough to get the information and right direction on right time. Should we left our future on luck? The point is many of us don’t know the carrier option available there. Though from my time a lot has been changed. Now a days information about anything is easily accessible. People have started to think about future plans five, six years ahead.
People are more aware right now. They want to everything to be planned. After many years of experience of teaching and thousands of counseling done by me. What I have observed is that it is good that people are aware but it has led many problems too. People are confused. They wander here and there. They ask many people, consult many but even they don’t know whom should they trust. Whose advice is right? Which source is correct? Many questions they ask like What is the right time to start the preparation? Which coaching is doing good? What books should be purchased? Which coaching material is good? Which city’s result are good? Is it safe to send my child to Kota? What is the outcome there? Whose result is authentic? Which coaching’s faculty are authentic? What is the fees? What fees is reasonable? A lot of questions are hitting the parents and the students. They are not able to get satisfactory answer. This is mostly due to the reason that they don’t get the logical reasoning for the facts.
Will this book answer all these type of questions? If I say “Yes”, then I am becoming over-enthusiastic. It will not answer the questions exactly but it will show the path, where to find authentic information. It will tell what factors one should consider while taking the decisions and it will also vary person to person. Everybody has to set the priority of the factors according to their conditions, environment and level of understanding.
First question that I will answer is “What is it all about?”. This is a guidance for the Engineering aspirants but the approach can be used be used in any competitive examinations.
In my next post I will discuss when one should start the preparation for IIT?
