Have a passion to do engineering studies only in the premier institutions?

Here`s what you can do to achieve that.

1) Know about the rules and procedures of your dream institutions; know about the minimum cut-off marks required to enter these institutions and plan your preparation strategies accordingly!

2) Three major concepts are inevitable and hence, creating a balance between them would yield the goal - Time, Speed and Idea! All the three bear the same weight; hence practise these concepts, while preparing for your exams.
Important tips to accomplish the AIEEE:

3) Don`t envision the AIEEE as a mere entrance exam; perceive the same as a process, via which you will enhance your knowledge. Such an attitude would help in reducing stress; optimizing ideas and motivating energy.

4) Try to relate important formulas to real life situations, or favorable situations. This would be an easy way of recalling the formulae; especially during the exam.

5) It would be appropriate to speed up your calculation methodologies; to enable this, do mental calculations always. This could save time, which would otherwise be wasted in flipping additional sheets for calculation; one could save up to 20% time on this.

6) Allocate the three-hour timings appropriately as in the time for filling up the front page; time to revise the questions; maximum time taken to answer the questions.

7) Calculate the risks involved in getting a question wrong; if, for every wrong answer, one-fourth of the total marks is deducted, calculate the maximum number of questions that you could go wrong at; this is a very significant calculation, as it would create a caution regarding the impact of wrong answers.

8) Prioritize the questions as the question paper contains easy, average and difficult questions. It would be better to attend the average and difficult questions at the start of the paper, as at the later stages there may not be sufficient time left on hand to spend on such questions!

9) Don`t get misled by assumptions; try all possible means of solutions to a specific problem. Practise such strategies while preparing for the exam.

10) Take time to read the questions; don`t have stereotypes about the questions; they may have a twist!

11) List the different categories of questions, like conventional type questions, formula type questions, practical type questions, theoretical type questions, reasoning type questions, etc. and find out your strong and weak areas and allocate time appropriately!

12) Prepare according to the syllabus specifications, for example, in the physics paper, there are two sections `A` and `B`; section `A` consists of theory part, which bears 80% weightage and section `B` comprises practical part, which bears 20% weightage. Thus in this case, more focus has to be given to the theoretical part to ensure maximum marks.

Cracking the AIEEE requires faith in yourself, besides hard work and passion! Regular planning, a sound mind and a good balance between the body and mind would fetch you the desirable results!
