Details About AIEEE and Tips to Score High in AIEEE

AIEEE exams are the public exams conducted for the admission of students in professional engineering colleges like NIT and some other reputed institutes of the country. Generally, it is conducted on the last Sunday of April month. AIEEE 2012 schedule and syllabus will be announced by the concerned authorities’ shortyl. Like all other entrance examinations, it is also based on plus one and plus two syllabus. The venue of the entrance examination is spread throughout the country. It’s better to write the exam from your state as you will get a provision for state reservation in NITs.

All these years, AIEEE comes with a surprise. It will be useless if you face the examination with a pre-determined plan. Early, AIEEE was having three different papers for Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry with 125 questions from each subject. Each question carries three marks. When it come to the year 2007,


And in 2008, pattern changed from 2007. The number of questions again reduced to 75 with 25 from each subject. Each question carries three marks and 1 negative mark if it’s marked as wrong. To add much to the surprise, there were more questions from the practical background in Physics and there were lots of questions based on the typical IIT JEE style(Assertion and Reasoning).

AIEE surprises didn’t stop in 2009too. It was there in terms of number of questions, marks associated with question and question pattern. The total number of questions slightly increased to 90 with 30 questions from each subject. But there were two types of questions. There were 8 marks and 4 marks questions in the same paper. Some of the students failed to understand this fact as they thought all the questions are of equal marks. There were questions of passage type as asked in IIT JEE.

In 2010,


So, what will be the surprise in 2011? It can’t be guessed. But we can expect something from the IIT JEE pattern. From all these years, there are some conclusions we can easily make. One is that AIEEE 2012exams are giving more importance to concepts from one year to another. The exam is moving to the pattern of IIT JEE. The number of questions is being reduced to test the conceptual knowledge of students. Most of all, Mathematics has been the toughest paper in AIEEE.







Tips to Study for AIEEE

1. As said above, AIEEE 2012is giving more importance to concepts and practical knowledge. While preparing for AIEEE, make sure that you know the concepts thoroughly.
2. As the exam is showing some resemblances to IIT JEE, it will be better to practice some previous years IIT JEE questions. This will make you familiarize with the question pattern and there is a minute chance that you will get some questions directly from IIT JEE paper.
3.  Since the number of questions is very less in the exam, you won’t get more than two questions from a single chapter. Therefore, you need to study more and more chapters to crack AIEEE 2012.
4. All the three subjects are given equal importance in the recent AIEEE exams. Study the three subjects; give importance to the subject which you know better. It doesn’t mean avoiding other subjects. If you are focusing more on the subject you know better, it will automatically give you more number of questions in the exams.
5. Mathematics has been the toughest paper in AIEEE for the years. If you can give some more stress to Mathematics during the preparation, it will increase your scoring.
6. Some of the portions like Mechanics are given more importance while you are in school. But as AIEEE is concerned Mechanics is not that much important. They are giving importance to Modern Physics. You will feel it if you can go through previous years AIEEE question papers.
7. Nowadays questions from Physics are more based on Practical physics. It means you have to give some importance to practical also.
8.  Chemistry questions are more based on NCERT textbooks. So, it’s more than enough to study NCERT textbooks for entrance examination. It will help for both entrance and public examination.
9.  Although there is less number of questions in AIEEE, the time won’t be sufficient to solve all the questions. Some of the questions need more time and some needs very less time. First of all do the easy questions and then go for the complex ones. It will make sure that you have solved the easy ones.

Details About IIT JEE and Tips to Score High in IIT JEE

IIT JEE is conducted for the admission in the most reputed professional engineering colleges of the country- Indian Institute of Technology, IIT-BHU and some other institutions. The examination is mainly based on the concepts you gathered in plus one and plus two classes.

There are two papers for IIT JEE. Both the exams are conducted in one day. The first paper is conducted in the morning and second is conducted after noon. The question paper consists of varieties of questions including single option type, multiple option type, paragraph questions, matching questions, assertion and reason etc. Generally the each question has 4 marks for correct answer and one mark for wrong answer. Some of the questions are not having any negative marks.


Tips to Score Maximum Marks in IIT JEE
IIT JEE is very much concept oriented exam. If you are strong with the concepts, you will surely get a seat in IIT. Apart from the thorough understanding in concepts, a strong efficiency in problem solving is must. The problems coming for IIT JEE are not just to apply the direct formulas. Here you need to know the concept clearly and need to apply them.

There are lots of problems which can be solved after too many steps. This shows the importance of problem solving skill. Try to solve problems like these.


There are other questions like assertion and reason to test your sound knowledge on particular concept. To get it corrected, you need to learn each and every concepts thoroughly.

The paragraph type questions are related to the concepts which you have learnt. The questions will be based on the paragraph, but understand that it’s not the typical English paragraph questions. Here you need to give more importance each and every lines of the paragraph.

As far as IIT JEE exams are concerned, doing previous years question papers are of prime important. This will give familiarize you with the IIT question pattern. Once you are confident about IIT JEE question pattern, there won’t be enough problems when you see the questions during the main exam. But, if you fail to attend at least one sample test of IIT JEE, you will definitely feel terrible and void.

What to Do beforet the Entrance Examination Day

The day before examination and the examination day are to be approached with a healthy mind and body. Here are some of the steps you should follow:

1. Never try to learn a new thing in these days. You won’t remember it and you will forget other things which you already learnt.
Utilize the time prior to exam for revising what you already learnt. Stress on the areas where you felt problems while studying.
It won’t be a good option to do problems just before the examination date.

2. Don’t be tensed about the exam. If you studied well, what’s there to worry? Tensions always kill your thirst for good score. So, avoid it.

3. Cool down. Do the activities you like and make your body and mind ca lm. Go for a walk in the evening with your friends. Listen to some music if you like it.

4. Don’t discuss exam matters with your friends during these days. If he/she says something which you don’t know, you will definitely feel tensed. But this is what we have been seeing all these years. Students are unnecessarily welcoming tension due to these talking.

5. Avoid heavy food in the night.

6. Go to the bed early and take a deep sleep. A deep sleep will make you feel good throughout the day.

7. Wake up early and take simple breakfast. Do some exercises if you are used to it.

8. If you believe in God, devote some time for praying. Prayers will remove your tension and will give you more confidence and strength.

9. Reach the examination centre at least half hour early. This will clear the unnecessary tensions and burdens.

10. Check that you didn’t forget to take at least two samples of pens, pencils, erasers etc. If one pen fails to work, use the other one. It’s advised to take both the pens of same color. Pencils are needed for some of the exams like IIT JEE.

11. Make sure that the hall ticket is with you itself.

12. Get to your seat early and cool down.

13. Write the exam with confidence.

What to Do in the Entrance Examination Hall

The time you are spending in the examination hall determines your rank. If you had a very good preparation and fail to attend the exam, you will reach nowhere. Therefore you should master a style for writing the exam. Here is some of the tips which can be followed:

1. Never feel that the question paper is tough for you only. If the question paper is very tough for you, understand that it will be tough for other students too. The tough competitive exams give more opportunities to those who studied very well. So, if you have a good preparation for the exam, there’s nothing to worry if the question paper is tough; meanwhile you should feel happy.


2. Never starts doing the questions one by one. It is better to do the easiest questions first and then the hard ones. This will never make you lose the simple questions. After getting the question paper, make a fast look at the question paper. In the first look, you can solve at least 25% of the questions or more. Then do some of the complex questions.

Doing simple questions will give you some confidence and it will boost up your solving skill of other questions.

Generally students think that this procedure will cut down their time. But it’s incorrect. Actually you are getting more time for doing the complex questions and you will never lose the easiest ones.


3. Start with the portion where you are strong. This will increase your confidence and it won’t let you lose the portion where you are confident.


4. Don’t go for wild guesses. It doesn’t mean that guessing is not a good option. Go for reasonable guessing. If you can eliminate one or two options, they you can mark one from the other two.


5. Time management is crucial during the exam. Use your time accordingly. Devote more time to the section where you are strong. While giving the examination, your focus should be on scoring more and not on making your weak area stronger.

TRICKS TO SOLVE QUESTIONS IN ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS

There are lot of tricks which will help students to crack entrance examinations very easily. There are many short cuts also; but short cuts won’t help the students a lot as they won’t work always and some students feel very hard to remember these short cuts. But tricks are the best one option available for you. Let us analyze each of these tricks:


1. Dimensional analysis of the answers
Dimensional analysis is very handy in almost all the entrance examinations. You will even get questions from IIT JEE which can be solved by using this trick. This is not a short cut; it’s what you learnt in the first Chapter of Physics in Plus one. The method is very easy and can be applied in Physics and Chemistry questions; Let us understand it with an example.


Q. A highly rigid cubical block A of small mass M and side L is fixed rigidly onto another cubical block B of the same dimensions and of low modulus of rigidity ɳ such that the lower face of A completely covers the upper face of B. The lower face of B is rigidly held on a horizontal surface. A small force F is applied perpendicular to one of the side faces of A. After the force is withdrawn, block A executes a small oscillation. The time period of oscillation is: (IIT JEE 1992)
(a)2π MɳL (b) 2π Mɳ/L
(c) 2π ML/ɳ (d) 2π M/ɳL
Sol:
How’s the question? A little bit lengthy and tougher? How should it be when it’s an IIT JEE question? But the question is not that much tough if you are going in the indirect method. And often the bright students will use these indirect steps first before doing the direct method.
What’s the indirect method? It’s none other than dimensional analysis. Please read the last sentence of question. We are asked to find out the time period of oscillation. The dimensional formula of Time period or time is [T]. So the dimension of our answer should be [T].
You need to know the dimension of other given information in the problem. The dimension of Mass M is [M] and length L is [L] . Some of you may find it difficult to find the dimension of modulus of rigidity ɳ . But it’s very easy to find if you know what modulus of rigidity is. I will tell the direct formula here;
Modulus of rigidity, ɳ =-F/lx
Therefore dimensional formula of ɳ =[MLT^-2]/[L][L] =[ML^-1 T^-2]
Now check for the dimension of Time period in each option. Let us take the first option. The final dimensional formula of that answer comes to be [MT^-1].
Option (b) comes out to be [ML^-1 T^-1]
Option (c ) comes out to be [LT]
Now check option (d). It’s [M]/[ ɳ ][L]
= [M]/[ML^-1 T^-2][L]
= [T]
How’s it? You can solve lots of questions like this in many entrance examinations. To solve problems like this, you should need some practice with these types of questions. Take some previous years’ question papers and solve. You will definitely find questions like this.


Some other examples are;

1. A body of mass M is situated in a potential field U(x)= U(1-Xcosαx) where U and α are constants. The time period of small oscillation will be.
(a) 2π M/Uα^2
(b) 2π U/M α^2
(c) 2π Uα^2/M
(d) 2π M Uα^2



2. Substitution Method
Substitution method is another important trick which you can apply widely in Mathematics. There are many such topics in Mathematics where you can apply this method. Some of the main portions are; Coordinate geometry, Straight lines, Complex numbers; Sequence and series et.
Let us take one example to know the method.

Q. The straight line (2+α)X + (1+ α)Y=5+ α , for different values of α passes through the fixed point
(a) (2,9)
(b) (2, -9)
(c ) (-2,-9)
(d ) (-2, -9)
Sol:
This is very easy to solve, just put the value of α=0. Now the equation is simplified to
2X+Y=5. Look at the option and just put the value of x in each case in the equation and find the value of y. Check the value of y is the one given in option. For eg, take the first option. Here the value of x is 2. Put it in equation and you will get the value of y=1. But in the option it’s given as 9. So the option is wrong. From here itself, we find that second option too is wrong.
Now put x=-2 . This gives the value of y=-9. Hence, the correct answer is (d) (-2, -9).


This is one of the most effective methods to be adopted to solve entrance questions very easily. And even if you don’t know the theory, you can solve lots of questions just substitution as done above. Practice alone will make you a good problem solver of this kind.

Some other examples are;

Q. If non-zero numbers a,b and c are in H.P, then the straight line x/a+ y/b +1/c=0 passes through the fixed point
(a)(1,-.5)
(b) (1,-2)
(c )(-1,-2
(d ) (-1,2)
Sol:
Here you need to know only one thing; If a,b and c are in Harmonic Progression (HP), then their reciprocals are in AP, ie 1/a, 1/b and 1/c are in AP. Now just take an AP sequence. Let us take the least complicated one; 1,2,3 and substitute it in the above equation.
The new equation is; x+2y+3 =0.
Then substitute the value of x as given in each option and check the y value given there also satisfies the option. Take x=1, then the y value should be -2 and hence the correct answer is (b). You can check with x=-1 also. For x=-1, y=-2.5. There’s no such option given. So the correct answer is (b) itself.


3. METHOD OF ASSUMPTION.
This is another important method. In some of the questions, some unknown quantities will be given. What we will do there is to assign some values to these quantities without changing the conditions given. This is almost similar to the method of substitution.

Q. If a(n) denotes the nth term in an Arithmetic Progression. Then
1/a(1)a(2) +1/a(2)a(3) +………………………………+1/a(n-1)a(n)=
(a) n-1/a(1)a(n)
(b)n/a(1)a(n+1)
(c )n-2/a(1)a(n-1)
(d) n/a(1)a(n)
Sol:
Take a simple AP=1, 2, 3, 4…..let us take n=3.
Therefore our questions comes to be:1/1*2 +1/2*3 =4/6 =2/3= n-1/a(1)a(n).
Hence the correct option is (a).



4. METHOD OF PROBLEM SOLVING BY DRAWING GRAPHS AND DIAGRAMS
Solving problems by drawing graphs and diagrams is a widely appreciated method. It’s also very easy to do comparing to the conventional method. If you are strong with this tool, you will come across lots of questions from many engineering entrance exams including IIT JEE.


5. METHOD OF APPROXIMATION
Method of approximation comes handy when the options differ largely in magnitude. Many of the students don’t know about this method and hence devotes more time to some questions. You should practice this method to use the time efficiently.

How to Score Maximum Marks with Very Less Effort in Entrance Examination

HOW TO SCORE MAXIMUM MARKS WITH VERY LESS EFFORT IN ENTRANCE EXAMINATION
Scoring marks in entrance examinations is not a difficult task. It’s very easy to fetch a decent mark which will take you to a decent rank. If you are having only one or two months of time ahead of you, don’t worry; with a little effort you can get the best rank in the stipulated time. You need to follow certain steps. Only a pre-planned studying will take you that level. It’s like this:

1. Find your strong area
The strong area of different students varies very marginally. But, there should be some strong areas for each student. There will be questions from all the topics in entrance examinations. So, if you can give a little more effort in your strong area, it will increase your score and hence will help your rank. After finding out the strong area, revise the section properly and do some objective problems from that topic. Doing objective problem will surely help you in finding some alternatives means for doing the questions and it will also make you familiarize with the questions. It’s better to do some of the previous years’ questions from these strong areas.

2. Go through the syllabus and find the easiest subjects:
There are lots of areas in your syllabus which will give you a strong hold on the examination. These topics are very easy to study and once studied, you won’t forget it. Some of these topics are explained in detail in the article EASIEST PORTIONS FOR ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS.

There are some topics which you will feel as difficult one while studying, but when it comes to the entrance examination, they will be the easiest portions to handle. One of such portion is the Modern Chemistry, Modern Physics, Complex members, Differentiation etc. There are lot of such topics and it will vary from one student to other.

Check for the trends in examination paper. There are certain areas in your syllabus which enjoys a greater priority. If you are good in those topics, you will get more questions in the coming examination too. Some such portions are Integration, organic chemistry, Modern Physics, Differentiation, Coordinate geometry etc.

3. Solve maximum number of previous years question papers.
Solving previous years’ question papers will give you a good relationship with the question pattern. You will get a chance to know where the examination is giving higher importance. Moreover, you will find some short cuts to solve some of the questions. It will also help you to manage your time accordingly. There are lots of cases in which questions are asked from previous years examination papers. So, it will be a good idea to solve some of the previous years’ question papers.

4. Manage Your Time During Examination Time
Like every other areas, time management is of prime importance in entrance examinations too. You will be having only certain hours to apply what you gathered in the last few months or years. And if you fail during that stipulated time, you won’t get the rank which you are capable of. If you are preparing just two or three months before the entrance examination, there’s nothing to worry. Allocate your time in such a way that you will get enough time to solve the questions from your area. Anyway you are not going to solve all the questions, but make sure that the questions solved by you are accurate.

5. Guessing in entrance examination and other ideas
Guessing in entrance examination is not a bad idea when you can eliminate some other options. If there are only two options remaining and which you feel that are the answers for the question, then you can have a wild guess.
Understand the fact that; if your guess is wrong, you will loose 1 mark from the marks you gained. But if it's correct you are getting additional four marks.
So, guessing is good if you are in the safest side, ie you have already answered a good number of questions to get a very good rank in the examination.

Different Engineering Entrance Examination and Engineering Colleges in India

VARIOUS ENGINEERING ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS IN INDIA
While I was a student of plus two standards, I knew only three entrance examinations: One is the Kerala Engineering Entrance Examination (as I am a Keralite), second one is the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) and other one is IIT JEE. Years passed by, I saw many students in my neighboring areas and the situation was the same like mine; some are still worse than me. I think this will be the condition to many of you too; a bad situation.

Before preparing for the entrance examination, the foremost thing you need to know is the about different engineering examinations and the different engineering colleges from where you can pursue B.Tech. Different colleges will be of different standard the courses offered by them will also vary. According to the standard of these engineering colleges, the standard of entrance examination will also varies.
Different exams adopt different policies for the examination. For eg. IIT JEE will be little bit tougher for some of you. But if you master the concepts thoroughly, you will feel IIT JEE is the easiest one for you. Moreover, the examination consists of two papers on 3 hour duration each comprising of Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry. AIEEE is also based on the basics. But, it will be easy if you can solve the problem within the time limit with maximum speed. It’s a three hour exam with questions coming equally from the three subjects. Likewise all the exams vary in their standard. The number of questions in all these exams differs largely.
Some of the main entrance examinations conducted in India are:
IIT JEE , AIEEE, BITS, KERALA ENGINEERING ENTRANCE EXAMINATION, CUSAT, AMRITA ENGINEERING ENTRANCE EXAMINATION, VIT, KARNATAKA ENTRANCE EXAMINATION, ORISSA JOINT ENTRANCE EXAMINATION and many more.
