i beg to differ here...... according to the current scenario i would suggest you concentrate more on cracking engineering entrance exams (JEE/AIEEE,etc) during XIIth, since high board marks alone means zilch for engineering colleges(assuming you are going for engineering).... ofcourse if the rules change this wont apply.

Of course lad. But in Commerce and Humanties as well for going for generic courses with sciences, Boards are vital (high cutoffs in colleges).
If one is focusing on Engineering and Medical, then it's case of just scrapping with 60% marks is sufficient. (still some colleges count you out like BITS Pilani, 80% min in PCM IIRC)
Yeah I guess since everyone wants be an engineer or doctor in this country regardless of interest or talent or heck even future scope so... :/
I actually meant that class X is actually a joke (not meaning to break the party for the OP), class XII is somewhat more challenging so that deserves *some* credit unlike 10th which is of little credit as it's nothing more than a Birth Certificate (mostly).

[pushkar]

Getting a decently high score in XIIth and clearing the engineering entrance exams are not mutually exclusive. The concepts are similar, and one cannot just forget about XIth and XIIth studies and hope to do well in engineering exams. I feel sorry for those delusional students who think coaching institutes can teach them everything they need to know to be an engineer, when in fact, most students at these institutes don't learn the basics right, and struggle later when they have to do things on their own, without the help of their teachers at the institutes.

again i agree on this, but atleast people need to know the fact excelling in XIIth boards alone is no ticket to a good engg college. i mentioned this cause, i met a handful of guys who had great XII marks but mediocre to bad MH-CET marks, solely due to the fact that they didnt know or were the misinformed about the importance of engg entrance marks! (this was 2 yrs ago, when i waiting in a queue at Sardar Patel Engg College to submit my MH-CET choice sheet)

[rkneo11]

congratulations... all the best for the future...

[Krazzy Warrior]

hmm thanks.

BTW how is Pathfinder coaching classes?

[MetalheadGautham]

Firstly, congratulations on a job well done. ICSE 92% is brilliant...

Next, take my advice and stay off coaching classes unless you are just doing a vacation crash course.
They are only good if you are SURE about your capabilities to slog several hours continuously.

Even without coaching, as long as you study regularly and study smart, AIEEE atleast will be a piece of cake. (And I have seen only 10% of those who go to "coaching centers" make it to IIT anyway...).

Sometimes, overburdening yourself with coaching as well as schooling can result in you getting somewhere way below your actual capabilities. I'm an example for this.

[maxmk]

Congratzzz buddy.... keep the great job doing and blackmail parents (just kidding)

[rajivnedungadi]

Congrats! Wish You All The Very Best for your future

[Krazzy Warrior]

Hmm thanks..

I SCRAPPED THROUGH!!!!

70% Though PCM was 78, narrowly missed out on BITS

Class X is (in all honesty) a joke. I too studied my ass off in Xth, thought it's THE ULTIMATE EXAM, first semester in XIth made me realise how naive that opinion was.

My Class X pass certificate's only relevance is that it has my parents and my legal name and date of birth.

You hit the nail right on the head there. Plus, AIEEE, JEE and CET are more important esp if you are gunning for engineering or even medical (AIPMT etc.)

EDIT I got 87% in Xth (overall, no "Best 5" sh1t is SSC)

Congrats to OP anyways

You in SPIT??? :O

1)Is there a cut out for AIEEE examinees?
2)What was the cutout in CET last year/2yrs ago?
3)I read that there are just 60 seats for Mechanical. True?

EDIT AGAIN

@OP whats your overall %? Without best 5?

[Krow]

^Its not SPIT! SPIT is the IT branch. For Engg., it is SPCE or SPEC. Congrats to you too!

Congrats to Krazzy!

He is probably in BIT Mesra. (Source: Location in the profile)

Class XII is good though.

Yes, in Bhavan's Campus. My campus. Well, almost ex-campus anyway.

[INS-ANI]

congratulation krazzy for ur success. M glad for u.

and beside.. u bought the same cam i m using... though i bought it the very first day it was launched.. damage to me- 13k ... nice cam.. and if you get too involved with it.. you will know how good it is.


Also best of luck for your future.. get into a good inst. and carry on the momentum there!!

1>more of a quota than a exact cutoff... If i remember correctly 15% seats in all local engg colleges (except VJTI) reserved for student admission on the basis of AIEEE marks

2>well dunno abt IT branch, but i got ExTC in Sardar Patel for 9500 all india AIEEE rank and 530 state rank... it was only a backup for me though.

3>well it must be so, anyways i think 60 branch strength is sufficient. In general its only in circuital branches you see 120+ strength. IITs have only 30 Gen seats per branch
