Tips to increase productivity: I think the best way is to give your mind and body adequate rest. You will not be able to cope up with the preparation if you keep on worrying about your marks or rank. How did you plan the final revision of the whole syllabus of IITJEE in the last few days: Out of 13 available days, I reserved 11 days for complete revision. Each day I used to study all the three subjects according to the requirements. I practiced some tests and on the last day I did nothing except trying to calm myself. Important topics according to you to revise: Physics: Waves, Thermodynamics and Modern Physics are formulae based and are highly scoring. Be sure that you remember all the formulae. Chemistry: Inorganic, as it has to be remembered well. Maths: Revise formulae. A night before IIT-JEE: Just have a nice sleep of around 7 hours. Do not worry much as nothing can be done now. Advice to your successors at Resonance: Have faith in your teachers as they are much more experienced. It is the quality that matters not the quantity.

“Just give your best while preparing for the tests or exams and don’t worry about the result.”

Palaash Jhabak Reso Roll No. - 712951, Batch -R1 IIT-JEE: 2008, AIR - 222 IIT- Bombay, Branch: Electrical Engineering

Inspiration for IIT: Frankly speaking till 10th I didn't know about IIT, my aim was to do engineering, as maths was my favorite subject so engineering was the obvious choice. Then some one told me about IIT. But people used to say “ IIT bahut tough hai, bahut padhna padhta hai” but how can one lose hope even before trying for it, so I decided to take coaching for IIT - JEE. Life at Resonance: It was quite smooth for me and I think it is smooth for every one if one gives good attention in the class and remains regular in the class and has faith in the teachers. The study material of Resonance: Each and every concept was covered which was required for JEE and there were no unnecessary complications and the questions were also carefully selected that one can get enough confidence to solve the problems completely. Tests at Resonance: They helped a lot in concept building and in boosting confidence and also made me conscious not to become Palaash Jhabak - mahasammund (Chattisgarh)

22

over confident. Your hobbies: Chatting with friends, listening some slow track music, reading news paper and going out for good food. Tips to increase productivity: One should be regular to the class with full concentration because in class room the concepts get quickly clarified. Make regular and decent notes in class and complete your homework daily. Don’t let it remain pending and avoid late night studies. NEVER BUNK THE CLASSES. Your plan about the final revision: I first planned to revise my class notes THOROUGHLY and then took up important questions in sheets and DPPs. Do revise your weakest subject first because that will surely help but I did a mistake while revising as I started with Physics which was my strongest subject and could not give enough time for Maths and Chemistry in which I was comparatively weak. I suggest, never repeat such mistakes as committed by me. People behind your success: My parents who always inspired me and had full faith in my capabilities, all my teachers & friends. “Be regular and have confidence in yourself.”

Nitesh Kumar Singla Reso Roll No. - 500502, Batch - P1 IIT-JEE: 2007, AIR - 596 IIT- Delhi, Branch: Mechanical Engineering

What unique did you find in the study material of Resonance: It always keeps you on the track of JEE. I saw many of my friends consulting the study material of other institutes which really disturbed them from the actual line of focus. The study material that we get at RESO is the best that one can have. You simply have to study it, leave the rest to the faculty team, they are experienced and best at their work. Tips to increase productivity: Initially I was putting a lot of efforts but I was never able to get the results. Then I happened to visit R C Sharma Sir. He told me that output does not merely depend on the input but the processing is also important. The time you put in, does not matter until whatever is being done is finished with a complete focus. Whenever you study, make it sure you really are. Generally we tend to think of some other things while studying, so try to focus only on your object. This is based on BROWN STUDY. Nitesh Kumar - Sangrur (Punjab)

122

How did you make a balance between the studies at Resonance & at school simultaneously: You won't believe, the kind of preparation I got in Reso, Board exams were just a cakewalk for me. Scoring 99 in Maths, 96 in Physics and 93 in Chemistry was just a dream come true without putting in extra efforts besides doing certain topics that were left out. About Team at Resonance: Faculty Physics: The best in INDIA. Verma Sir’s support helped me in getting All India highest in Physics in JEE. Faculty Chemistry: Another jewel to the crown, VPM Mam, SPR Sir & the stylish IITIAN Amay Pandey, they supported me whenever I felt low. Faculty Maths: Thanks to LK Sir, YG Sir for their support. How did you plan the final revision of the whole syllabus of IITJEE in the last few days: Whether it is DPP, Sheet or any study material, I used to mark the important questions as Rj meaning Revision JEE. So at the end of the course, I didn’t face any trouble in revising it properly. I did only the marked questions and they were enough for me to make the concepts clear and clarified the doubts. “Give your very best to the world and the world will return it to you.” Nitesh Kumar - Sangrur (Punjab)
