need your ADVICE...

[Neo]

hey all.
i'm in 9th right now.n want to get into IIT
please suggest me some tips and advises to get into IT.
thats my ambition...yep .IIT.

n yea...how does it feel to be an IITian.?

[nims11]

i suppose it feels good to qualify IIT-JEE but it only matters if you get a good rank(<4K) to get a good branch.
you are still in class 9th so don't worry about it now. although many start their IIT-JEE preparation from class 8th itself, i don't think its required. start from class 11th, goto a good IIT-JEE coaching institute. and put your all these two years.

i was in FIITJEE and i did all kinds of stuffs except studies. i studied quite seriously from JAN 2011 and missed IIT qualification by 5 marks. although it would not have mattered much if i had qualified(i wouldnt have got good rank) but atleast i could have said i QUALIFIED and have my name on newspaper( ).

so this is what i did.
DON'T DO THE SAME!!

[ico]

Don't waste time on the forum like I am wasting and I wasted.

[sygeek]

none of which will help you get into top 100 in IIT-JEE.

If you aren't a science whiz, forget about it. If you aren't godlike in PCM, forget about it.
If you want to enjoy your precious 2 years in 11th and 12th, forget about it

On the other hand, if you really want to try, take the biggest book you can find on Physics, Chemistry and Maths and start studying today itself. Oh, remember to solve sums - that's (mostly) what the JEE is about, anyway. If you can't do this, join a good coaching class and hope that you get lucky

Oh, and about being an IITian? It is something special to those who get in. Of course you get status in society. After all, it is a matter of prestige!

[sygeek]

also, being on a tech forum doesn't make you an IIT GURU.

[Liverpool_fan]

IIT an ambition? Yup this is Indian school student mentality these days. Not a profession, not creating something, not doing anything to society, just want to get into IIT.

[ico]

Just a random thought, is your ambition anything else aside from going into IIT?

[abhijangda]

how it feels to be an IITian??
Will tell you after 2-3 months!!!

Of course not, students also want "high paying job" in "top companies". After all, what fun is an IIT degree if you cannot count the $$$$?

(ofc marriage comes later but let's leave that out)

thats great.
what rank?

[mitraark]

Bhai ... Top 100 ha ... i think you have quite the vague idea of what it takes to just crack the IIT JEE. Please , focus on 10th for now , don;t let IIT be an excuse for neglecting 10th, to be honest you cannot start with IIT Preparation before basic 11th standard studies.

No, I'm not an IITian. But growing up in the academic community, I have been around way too many IITians. That includes B.E. from IIT, MSc from IIT, PhD from IIT, what not.
Only the B.Tech from IIT is anything special as it guarantees you a really good job and pay. There are some who are positively excited about being in IIT, others who are pretty much down to earth.

How you like it at IIT depends on which campus you go to. The newer IITs are not that good actually, but will hopefully improve in a few years' time (campus and library is unfinished, for example). But the "classic" IIT campuses like Delhi, Kharagpur, Bombay, Kanpur, Roorkee, Madras are really good. Hostel aside, people generally have a fun time with various fests and you really get some spare time to pursue hobbies of your interest.

The newer IITs, again, are a different story, and as of right now, if you are getting a good NIT over something like IIT Patna (new IIT), I'd say go for the NIT. There are difficulties in the newer IITs right now, as they depend on the older IITs for mentorship, assistance with studies and sometimes even for placements.

(Note: Placements in newer IITs are also not as good as those in older ones. From my observation, good NIT>new IIT)

I have given you some information that I hope will help you. If you really want to get in, I suggest you pay a lot of attention to your studies from this point on - but first priority is to clear your 10th. Do that, *then* think about IIT because admission to 11th also is not a joke these days and you need to work hard to get a good score in your 10th if you want the science/vocational stream in 11th without which your IIT dream will go down the gutter!

[thetechfreak]

The concepts of 9 are quite important. Pay full attention to trigo in 10th. Then from 11th do FULL on HARD WORK. Study all books , do research and be a MASTER in PCM

i'm already doing class 11 syllabus.

oh!!, I will be joining this month, IT-BHU and hopefully, when Bill in Rajya Sabha will get passed, it will be IIT BHU. But believe me, there is no special feeling I am getting from inside. And yes, it is a status of being IITian, but NITian or ISMite is no less. I was NITian for 1 year and also being NITian didn't arose any special feeling in me. Also, you should at present study for 9th and 10th. Don't study of 11th and 12th. It will do no good for you. This is the time to just do fun. 2 years are more than enough for serious study. Also, only those can clear, who has good brain, only study doesn't matters.

Only some, NITs like Warangal, Surathkal, Trichy, they I think will be much better than new IITs. IIT Hyderabad, IIT Ropar, IIT Indore, IIT Gandhinagar, these are performing very good. Hopefully after 4-5 years they will get good placements, there campus will be completed and they will also become one of the best colleges in INDIA. But they will take time, till there Alumni becomes popular. That's why IIT Guwahati is not that much popular as compared to other IITs. Also there placements hasn't started till now, they just 2-3 years old.

@abhijangda rank?

[abhijangda]

JEE All India Rank (AIR) 3903.

[eagle_y2j]

Study study n study ....
wat i have perceived from ppl cracking JEE

[KDroid]

Don't get too much into Class 11th studies.... I am not asking you to stop it... Learn only the basics...!! Like basic Differentiation, Integration, Units/Dimensions, Error Measurement, Significant digits, basic kinematics, basic mechanics, Trigonometry... I guess might have gone through most of these... Still, stick to these.. Practice!!

Unless you're excellent at these topics, don't move ahead at all.


And mind you, Top 100 is no child's play. I can show you more than 100 children of your age who have completed books like HC Verma & all... You'll have to work very very hard! Dump your computer if you want under AIR 100. Otherwise, get to Kota. Don't keep a single gadget other than a basic mobile with you. The environment there is matchless! Btw, where are you from?


and one more thing, getting into IIT is a great thing.. but that must not be your ambition!

y that's not to be my ambition.

[abhijangda]

Best option for you, is to go for coaching classes in Delhi.
Also Delhi environment is not good but I think it is better than that of Kota.
There are many centres in Delhi, but best are really found in Punjabi Bagh,West Delhi and Kalu Sarai, South Delhi.
