The Bitter Myth Revealed

      Okay, so IIT-JEE is considered to be the most dreadful engineering entrance exam that India has ever had. But to be frank, its all a myth. JEE is actually piece of cake, but the much hyped coaching classes make it all the harder for aspiring students. First off all they charge exorbitantly high fees which of course the common man cannot afford. So, the offspring of the common man thinks that he just cannot crack JEE as he cannot go to the best classes that is out there. Personally, I feel that there is not even a need of coaching classes to prepare for JEE. The internet is an free open encyclopedia and there are people all over the internet more than willing to suggest students the perfect books needed to be carved into an IITian.
     I gave my IIT-JEE two days back, and I felt that it was the most easy exam I ever had given till now. Yes, I did had joined classes for the preparation but that didn't help me a lot! All that matters is the preparation you do when you are not in the class. IIT-JEE tests your will and determination more than knowledge. Yes Knowledge is important and you have to give some time for it, but its not all that matters. If you have the courage to Crack JEE you gradually will.
    The six hour crucial exam is a lot to go through and most parents wait outside the examination hall all the six hours, which makes the students all the more nervous. If you want your kid to crack JEE, give him some space for Christ sakes! Coaching classes have to earn their income one way or the other so they resort to all sorts of means to make their classes an inch above the rest. There were caravans standing outside the examination centre for students to rest during the two hour break. These were fully equipped with Air Conditioners and stuff. Another classes gave out solutions of the first paper increasing the Rat Race among them. I do not wish to name these classes as I don't wanna have any trademark copyright issues. Its all about Business for these coaching classes. They seldom think about the turmoil the students are going through.
     All I want to say is, If you wish to Crack JEE, you can start being simple and do it from your home.

India Against Corruption

        The other day I was walking down the street when I found a piece of paper lying helplessly on the ground. It looked like the Indian National Flag. I picked it up, and took it home. Today, that small paper flag is fluttering proudly in my home. The thing is, people are becoming careless day by day. Okay, so India won the world cup and people were rallying on bikes carrying flags everywhere. But that doesn't mean that one is just supposed to put some on the ground if not purposely.
      Recently, Anna Hazare has revealed the Jan lokpal bill which recommends police officers and politicians to be questioned if caught being corrupt or similar. People are down the line fasting with him. But I think its the Indian Youth that needs to be educated on these terms to stand up fight. Personally, I think Anna Hazare is doing a great job. He needs lots of supports, join him and let our country change once and for all.
