I am a 12th pass student , and i am preparing for jee mains and advanced since from class 11th from physics wallah batches ....i am taking drop this year...and i joined akash institute...and also studying from pw batch,...bcoz i am not satisfied by offline coaching institute....plz give me guidelines... that from where i have to study..thank you!
Ans: Anjana, you have NOT mentioned your JEE Percentile / Rank, scored by you this year. Anyway, please go through my IMPORTANT guidelines from the beginning till the end (lengthy & APPLICABLE to all droppers). (1) First of all you should analyze what went wrong in your last JEE? Score in each Subject? Lowest in which Subjects? Why? (2) As you have already joined Aakash, it is advisable to join ALLEN's Test Series also. Keep attempting the questions (3) Check your Score in Maths / Analyze your strong and weak topics. Focus more on weak topics (applicable to Physics & Chemistry also. (4) For Physics, you should definitely be through with HC VERMA (Both Volumes) & practice questions from Aakash / Allen's Test Series.
(5) 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. (6) 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. (7) Eat a lot of green vegetables / fruits which you can afford for & avoid soft drinks (5) Every day nigh, before going to bed, revise whatever you have studied during the day. (8) Also, revise every week whatever you have covered till date (here your short-notes which you should prepare will be helpful). (9) Keep practising questions on topics which you have covered either offline or online (9) Give utmost importance to wrongly answered / difficult / complicated / tough questions and have a separate note-book specially for this for each subject (PCM) (10) 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 11th / 12th standard (December-January), attempt fully syllabus online test series, evaluate and analyze 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) Make 100% utilization of 'Doubt Clearing Sessions' of Aakash. All the BEST Anjana.

Here's a rewritten version with corrections and improvements for clarity: "I have 27-year-old twin sons. Despite providing equal opportunities, they've chosen different paths. One graduated in Journalism and Mass Communication and successfully transitioned into animation and VFX. However, the other son, a Mechanical Engineering graduate from a reputable college, hesitates to enter the professional world. Previously, he showed creative inclinations in school and even trained in photography under Mr. Raghu Rai. After college, he could have persuaded his passion for photography enter into the professional world but did not do. Neither he entered into the world of engineering. He developed an interest in philosophy (Kafka, Nietzsche, Sartre) and world cinema (Satyajit Ray, Godard, Akira Kurosawa) and limited himself to the room. His behavior gradually has become concerning - he's dishonest and makes excuses. He left for Mumbai with a forged letter from a TV channel, but couldn't sustain himself and moved to Pune to live with my nephew, claiming he'd learn coding for an IT job. However, he soon ran away from Pune and returned, saying he's preparing for a job but struggling with luck. As I approach my 70s, I'm struggling to support him financially and emotionally. His dishonesty is particularly troubling. Please advise on how to address this situation."
Ans: You need to consult a famous Psychiatrist for him. I can refer him to Dr. Manjari Dikshit of Pune Hospital near Deccan Gymkhana Pune. GOD BLESS HIM. Regards. Professor

Any good health insurance policy with sum assured Rs. 05 to 10 Lakhs with good claim settlement ratio for a 34 years male with spouse 25 years and kid 05 years, kindly recommend ? It has been noticed that insurance company reject the claim often despite of genuine disease and submitted documents. So keeping this thing in mind, any good health insurance policy suggested so the family can stay protected ? Budget limit- annual sum of max upto 20k. Kindly recommend
Ans: Hello;

Before signing up for a healthcare insurance cover you need to understand the permanent and time bound exclusions mentioned in the policy

Also check the black listed hospitals on insurers website and avoid them as far as possible.

Better is to select network hospital and go for cashless facility.

Also before signing up, you need to honestly disclose pre-existing diseases, hereditary history of you near blood relatives in good faith.

This will reduce chances of claim rejection.

For your reference I am sharing names of some health insurers whose incurred claims ratio(ICR) was above 80% in FY-24:

HDFC Ergo
ICICI Lombard
SBI General
Bajaj Allianz
National Insurance

Request you to do your due diligence and seek help from an investment advisor or insurance advisor for further help.

Best wishes;
