My Daughter is in 12th std. & preparing for IIT JEE entrance exams since last 1& half years through online mode of coaching . But we are worried if this mode of preparation for a cut throat competition is good enough for her or is she is able to cope up with FOMO & be motivated enough ? Please suggest us the correct Strategy with current circumstances for the student & parent both.

Ans: Hello Sanjiv
You have to keep your mindset positive & have to support your daughter on a positive note. IIT-JEE is considered as toughest examination in the world. And keep plan B ready to get admission to a good college. Ask her to give her best for JEE-MAINS first this will help her in securing a good seat in NITs.
Please see if she is appearing for regular tests. This will help her in identifying the weaker topics & will help in improving them time to time.

Sir my daughter is in grade 9.Can you please suggest some preparation strategy for iit-jee .Which is the best online coaching for iit-jee foundation for grade 9.
Ans: Prefer ALLEN Online Coaching Classes. AhaGuru is another Better Option, if fees of Allen is More. However, If you join AhaGURU, join just Allen's Online Test Series also to practice questions online. Go to both Website, check & choose more suitable one for you.

NOW Coming to Preparation Strategies:

(1) Whenever you study at home, study for 45-minutes. Then take a break of 10-minutes when you can move away from your study table, walk, have some water & relax. If you continue studying beyond 45-minutes, your concentration power will go down, resulting to low output. Most students commit this mistake. (2) On daily basis (morning or evening whichever will be convenient to you), do yoga or meditation or physical exercises or play any games / sports for at least 30-45 minutes. This will further reduce your stress / distractions. (3) Study tough topics / tough subjects (applicable to you) early morning with your fresh mind. (4) Eat a lot of green vegetables / fruits which you can afford for & Avoid soft drinks (5) Every day night, before going to bed, revise whatever you have studied during the day. (6) Also, revise every week whatever you have covered till date (here your short-notes which you should prepare will be helpful). (7) Keep practising questions on topics which you have covered either offline or online (8) Give utmost importance to wrongly answered / difficult / complicated / tough questions and have a separate note-book specially for this for each subject (PCM) (8) You might be aware that JEE rank is allotted on the basis of highest score in Maths, followed by Physics & Chemistry. Practice more and more in Maths, till you reach Speed & Accuracy (9) By the end of 9th/10th/11th/12th standard (December-January), attempt fully syllabus online test series, evaluate and analyse your performance such as, (a) which topic / unit / concept you are weak which needs your revision and improvement as this will disturb you when you appear in actual JEE exam (b) abnormal time taken to attempt any question which you can come to know from Online Test Series which you should reduce (c) which questions you skipped and why? (10) Please AVOID studying under pressure that you should get admission only into IITs/ NITs. Never advisable. Any one can be successful, even if he / she studies in NON-IIT / NON-NIT Colleges also. (11) Have Plan B & Plan C for other Colleges Entrance Exams / Disciplines-Streams. (11) Avoid comparing yourself with other students. (12) Also, it is highly ideal to appear in / attempt minimum 5-Entrance Exams (for both Govt & Private Engineering Colleges). You will have a lot of options (easiest method) to choose the best and most suitable one, keeping in view a lot of factors such as, College | Location | Your Interest | Stream Preference | Placement Records | College Culture | Your Short & Long Term Goals | Pressure You Can Go Through | Your AIR & Job Market Condition when you apply for your BTech & Even after. I hope I have answered to your question with value additions.

All the BEST for your Bright Future.

How is iitian guide online coaching in jee preparation
Ans: Dharsha, whichever online JEE coaching you join, please note, it is does not depend only upon which online coaching you join, but also depends upon your self-motivation, dedication, preparation strategies & smart study techniques. I can provide you some important strategies/steps/tips you can follow when preparing for JEE & other Engineering Entrance Exams. (1) As Merit List/All India Rank is prepared on the basis of highest marks in Maths first, give 20% extra time for Maths, followed by Physics. (2) Parepare your own short notes after going through any chapter and keep revising them daily/weekly/regularly. (3) Be thorough with HC Verma - 2 volumes for Physics. Solutions book available for the same in Amazon. (4) If possible, join 1-2 online test series of any 2 reputed coaching centers, but before buying make sure that each question will have detailed answers/explanatory notes. Else, you will be struggling to get answers for the questions wrongly answered by you or you have skipped the questions. (4) Focus more on difficult, complicated, lengthy & tough questions instead of wasting your time on the concepts/questions you know well (5) Make a separate note-book for those type of questions with detailed answers and keep revising them as these type of questions will disturb you a lot in actual exam (6) After attempting each offline/online mock tests (be it concept-wise, chapter-wise, unit-wise, or full syllabus), analyze the speed, accuracy and time taken for each question to improve further. (7) Avoid comparing yourself with others; (8) Never get demotivated by temporary failures. Always think about how to overcome failures (8) You can even download or print-out the 2024 syllabus of JEE and whenever you complete any chapter, put a tick-mark against it as there will not be very major changes in the syllabus in the following years. (9) You should attempt minimum 5-7 entrance exams instead of relying only on JEE to have multiple options to choose the most suitable one. (10) As coaching center materials cover almost all concepts, have extra 1-2 reference books only. Not required beyond 2 books.

These are just some illustrative basic & important tips for your Engineering Exam Preparation.

All the BEST for Your Bright Future, Dharsha.
