It changes how your body works and puts your mind into different moods. When you're getting a bit stressed about an exam - it just means that you really care about the result you will get. That can be a good thing if it pushes you into working extra hard as you try to get a good score. But it can be bad if you get too worried and the effects of the stress stop you doing well. Stress is natural part of being human. It's your body responding to changes in the world around you. You could be showing these signs when you're stressed:
feeling tired
ache all over
cry and feel sad
have panic attacks
have broken sleep
suffer from stomach upsets
have itchy skin rashes
more likely to get colds and 'flu
How to beat the monster?
1. Get plenty of sleep Try to keep your sleep routine as regular as possible
2. Take a break This is really important, you should give yourself plenty of short breaks as you revise, this keeps you fresher for longer, so you will learn more.
3. Time for yourself Try to leave enough time in your revision for some fun. You will need to put your books down and do something you enjoy for a while if you want to stay in a good mood.
4. Be realistic Don't try to do too much work each day. If you overdo it you won't take in the facts you're revising.
5. Eat properly Make sure your diet includes plenty of fruit and veg. Drink juice or water, avoid too much tea or coffee.
6. Get some exercise It's a fantastic stress buster. Go running, skateboarding, play a sport, or just take a walk around the block. You will feel more relaxed. If you're not sleeping very well exercise can make a real difference.
7. Be positive Don't beat yourself up about things, instead be nice to yourself. Make a quick list of five things you've done that you are proud of. This will put you in a good mood and you will learn more.
8. Chill out If you are starting to lose it, and feel that the studying is getting on top of you - take a bit of time to:
Breathe deeply.
Tell yourself how well you are doing.
Remind yourself that everything is going to turn out alright.
Stand up straight and smile, you will feel a bit better straight away.
It marks the official end of humanity's struggle for survival and the beginning of a really relaxing afternoon, or night. The first wireless remote, designed by Eugene Polley, is essentially a flashlight. When Zenith discovered that direct sunlight also can change channels on the remote-receptive TVs, the company came out with a model that used ultrasound... which lasted till the '80s and then we discovered infrared.
Microwave Oven (1955)
In 1945 Raytheon's Percy Spencer stood in front of a magnetron (the power tube of radar) and felt a candy bar start to melt in his pocket: he tries placing popcorn kernels in front of the magnetron and the kernels explode all over the lab. Ten years later Spencer patented a 'radar range' that cooked with high-frequency radio waves. And gave women the time to discover the real meaning of a night of partying...
Jet Airliner (1958)
The Boeing 707-120 debuts as the world's first successful commercial jet airliner, ushering in the era of accessible mass air travel. The four-engine plane carries 181 passengers and cruises at 600 mph for up to 5,280 miles on a full tank. The first commercial jet flight takes off from New York and lands in Paris... and gives the rich and the famous a high-flying, fashionable lifestyle statement - the jetsetter is born!
Laser beam (1958)
Whitens teeth, removes tattoos, corrects vision, erases wrinkles, reduces weight... gives cosmetic beauty a new meaning altogether. And all this while trying to track missiles too!
The computer (1959)
The phrase 'dot com' became a part of our lingo only in the 1990s, but the sequence of innovations that leads to the Internet goes back at least 40 years. In 1989, Sir Tim Berners-Lee created Hypertext Markup Language' (HTML) to make Web pages and the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to identify where information is stored. Two phrases that has ever since shrunk the world, brought friends closer, increased efficiency, improved communication, and brought the world to our bedroom at the click of a button.
Cordless devices (1961)
Black and Decker release its first cordless drill. A simple tool that becomes a keyword for easy living - cordless phones, radios, computers.
Digital Music (1970)
James Russell, a scientist, invents the first digital-to-optical recording and playback system. Something that today, makes us dance to the tunes of rap, remix, club and lounge music.
ATM (1969)
On September 2, our bank will open at 9 am and never close again! Read a Long Island branch of Chemical Bank advertisement in 1969. And today, who goes to a bank when in need of cash?
MP3 player (1998)
Depending on who you ask, the MP3 is either the end of civilization (record companies) or the dawn of a new world (everyone else). The korean company Saehan introduces its MPMan in 1998, long before Apple asks, "Which iPod are you?"
Video games (1962)
MIT programmers write Spacewar and 44 years later, 89 per cent of school-age kids, and 63 per cent adult professionals own video games.
Please comment in case you have more invention which changed the we live our lives!
Volunteer for communication and leadership activities within your current activities: in a disciplinary society, student organization, class, or laboratory.
As a graduate student, be a mentor to undergraduates and encourage them to participate in research.
Practice brainstorming with fellow researchers in person or via the Internet.
Form a research group: give talks to each other and encourage honest comment.
Arrange an off-campus internship that can extend or broaden your skills and introduce you to another work environment.
Use computer aids to evaluate your attributes.
Join or organize a Toastmaster's Club to improve your public-speaking skills.
Leadership is a quality that must be communicated to others, through both actions and words. There are many opportunities early in your career to develop this quality and to observe it in others. Volunteer to organize a group discussion or project; help a group of undergraduates to learn about research and be responsible in planning meetings with your committee and in reminding members to attend.
Look around you for role models and mentors. A leader in science and engineering might take on various responsibilities: supervising a laboratory, heading a research team, managing a department, or planning new projects. Who among the people you know does a good job as a leader, and what qualities make this possible?
Leadership is a rare quality because it has two facets: a leader must know the goal of an activity and must be able to organize and motivate others to reach the goal. That requires some understanding of the skills and personality of everyone in the group. To develop your capacity for empathy, talk with others about their projects and challenges.
The most-effective leaders are not dictators. Exercise leadership by doing or illustrating rather than by ordering. Others will be more willing to follow a leader who is a servant first; your own activity as an honest, conscientious, and helpful teammate will inspire the same activity in others.
Scientists and engineers in all positions have to be able to communicate the purpose and relevance of their work, both orally and in writing. If you are a teacher, you must communicate with your students. If you work in industry, you must communicate with managers and co-workers (many of whom will not be scientists or engineers) and perhaps with customers. If you are responsible for raising funds for your research, you must market your ideas effectively, write proposals, and generate enthusiasm for your research. If you work in public policy or government, you might have to communicate with the press and other members of the public.
Good communication skills are often needed to get a good job in the first place. If you are clear in expressing your thoughts and articulating your accomplishments and attributes, an interviewer is more likely to form a favorable impression of you and gain an understanding of your skills.
If you are a student, a forthright and outgoing communication style can help to build a better relationship with your adviser. If you can describe your work and your goals
clearly, you are likely to get better advice in return. When it comes time for you to be a mentor to younger students, the value of your guidance will depend on your ability to express yourself.
You need to communicate with colleagues to keep up with trends, to collaborate on projects, and to find a new position. This kind of communication requires clarity of expression, ability to organize thoughts, ability to be a good listener, and empathy for the lives and interests of others. Those skills might not come easy to one who is shy or prefers to work alone. But with practice and the help of friends, they can be improved.
In many environments, particularly as your career advances, you will want to explain your work to nonscientists or scientists trained in other fields who make decisions about funding, facilities, or distribution of capital (human and financial). You should practice by describing your work in simple terms to friends and family at every opportunity.
Give special attention to your writing ability. As an undergraduate, you might do a senior project; as a master's student, you will probably write a thesis; as a doctoral student, you will write a dissertation. As a graduate student, you will also be expected to write papers for publication in journals. All these writing projects must be done to high standards and become evidence of your ability when the time comes to seek employment.
If you think that you need help, take a class in scientific writing or ask a journalism professor to arrange a seminar on the topic. Solicit and learn from responses to papers and proposals when you write them. Take a speech class, or volunteer to talk about your specialty to a local civic group or high school class. Graduate students should form a cooperative group in which students make presentations to each other and agree to provide (and accept) honest responses. Communicate with others via Internet, trying to express your ideas clearly.
If English is not your native language, you must develop English-language skills. Writing exercises will pay off when it comes time to write a thesis, job application, study plan, or grant proposal; speaking exercises will help you to ask questions, communicate with professors, and participate in interviews. It is comforting to spend time with compatriots, but it is easiest to learn the local language (and culture) by mingling with those who speak English. Good language skills will make it easier to find employment, to teach, and to learn from your professors.
Develop a schematic of your educational and career plan.
Imagine what you will be doing in 5, 10, and 20 years.
Review the current career market for your discipline and subdiscipline and for interdisciplinary areas that include your own.
Think about your strengths your weaknesses; make a list of each.
Describe the tempo and environment of each career that you are considering. What do your strengths and weaknesses tell you about the appropriateness of each career?
For each career option that appeals to you, what skills (academic, social, and other) are needed? How successfully have you used these skills already?
Seek a volunteer or internship position in a career area that you are considering.
Participate in a career day or job fair.
''Job shadow" someone in an occupation that you are considering.
While you are evaluating possible careers, take a close look at yourself as a person. Are you innovative or conventional? Timid or bold? Do you thrive on constant challenge? How important is your career, compared with family and
other activities? Some positions in science and engineering involve long hours and a high degree of dedication.
For a fulfilling career, there must be a good match between your natural abilities and what is expected in various professional positions. A useful exercise is to ask yourself what you have enjoyed most in your life and where you think that you have been most useful. Then ask what you have enjoyed least or have found most frustrating. Compare the two lists. Why did you enjoy or dislike each activity? Do you think that your attitude would change if you had more education or training? Would it make a difference if you did it in a different setting or with different people? By examining apparent mismatches, you can learn to evaluate your own strengths and weaknesses in the context of possible jobs.
Take advantage of computer aids and self-assessments; talk to students, teachers, friends outside school, and a guidance counselor. Planning and placement offices provide testing and counseling for students and alumni. Such tests as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (a personality inventory) and the Strong Interest Inventory (which compares a person's interests with those of people employed in particular occupations) might help in finding the career best suited to your temperament.
Because it is difficult to see yourself objectively, seek out other people who might have a different picture of you. A friend or colleague might see strengths invisible to you or advise you against a career that seems wrong for you. An undergraduate adviser can be especially useful—especially if he or she knows you personally as well as academically.
Many publications offer inexpensive, do-it-yourself ways to assess your skills. Check your library, bookstore,
and career center for guides that help you take inventory of your skills and preferences and match the results with the characteristics of different fields. The most popular is What Color Is Your Parachute?, by Richard Bolles, a new revision of which appears each November. Bolles studied chemical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and earned a degree in physics from Harvard. He offers many aids to help you to determine which skills you most enjoy using, the context in which you want to use them, and careers in which you can apply them (). Other tools are now available online and can be reached via the National Research Council (NRC) Career Planning Center For Beginning Scientists and Engineers.
Assessment of your skills, of your preferences, and of the careers that might be available to you continues as you complete each degree and gain work experience. The time to begin is now, and you should renew this assessment annually throughout your career.
Even if your career might change direction as you advance, your first steps are important ones. How do you know where to begin?
Do not ignore what is right under your nose: your own faculty adviser and, if you are a graduate student, your research or laboratory group. By watching the people around you, you can learn a great deal about the roles that a faculty member plays. Your adviser could be, at various times, a
teacher, a business manager, a mentor, an author, a committee member, a boss. Which of those roles is appealing to you?
If you are an undergraduate or beginning graduate student, you are probably not ready to choose a career. But you can start asking questions and watching people in their work. If you learn early what your options can be, you will be ready to ask the right questions when your time comes to find a position.
Evaluating jobs also means dealing with attitudes. Some faculty members and students assign a lower status to nonresearch jobs for people who have PhDs. As a result, PhD students who plan for such jobs might be told that they are wasting their education or letting their advisers down. That attitude is less prevalent in some professions, notably engineering and some biology-related fields, where nonacademic employment is the norm. Also, negative attitudes toward nonacademic employment are often less evident during times of job scarcity. But if you do encounter such an attitude remember that a wide variety of positions can be as challenging and gratifying for PhD scientists and engineers as traditional research positions. Back up your assertion with facts and figures, including the profiles presented in this guide and facts about the employment situation from the Academy's Internet career-planning center.
Most scientists and engineers find careers in three general sectors of society: colleges and universities, industries, and federal and state agencies. Their work includes an array of activities, from the conduct of basic and applied research to the design and application of new commercial products to the operation and maintenance of large engineering systems.
You can make your planning more effective by appreciating the direction in which professional careers are shifting within that larger picture. For example, for many students, a PhD will mean a career as an academic researcher. But more than half the students who receive PhDs in science and engineering obtain work outside academe—a proportion that has increased steadily for 2 decades. And full-time academic positions in general are more difficult to find than they were during the 1960s and 1970s, when the research enterprise was expanding more rapidly.
As our society changes, so too do the opportunities for careers in science and engineering. The end of the Cold War has removed some incentive for the federal government to fund defense-oriented basic research. Increased national and
global competition has forced many industries to reduce expenses and staff. That means that there are fewer research and development positions in universities, industries, and government laboratories than there are qualified scientists and engineers looking for them.
Powerful changes have swept through the universities. For example, there are strong public pressures for universities to shift their emphasis toward teaching and toward undergraduate education; the number of positions for permanent faculty has decreased; professors are no longer required to retire at a particular age; and more part-time and temporary faculty are being employed. All those trends affect the universities' ability to hire scientists and engineers.
At the same time, small and medium-sized companies in some fields are increasing their research and development activity as they develop new technologies. The natural advance of technology is creating new opportunities in information science, software design, biotechnology, data processing, environmental engineering, electronic networking, manufacturing and computational simulation, and forensic science. Government agencies are converting some of their defense-oriented efforts to research in environmental work, communication, information, and other fields. Recent graduates with skills in more than a single discipline are attractive to businesses in these and other multi-disciplinary fields, especially if they have dual master's degrees or strong minors
Scientists and engineers are learning to apply their expertise more broadly. Professionals in the physical sciences find employment not only in the discipline of their degree but also in a wide variety of related careers where their analytic and reasoning abilities are valued.
For example, increasing numbers of physicists, mathematicians, and engineers find their skills valued in the financial arena. More than 14% of the firms recruiting at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1995 were financial companies, nearly 3 times as many as in 1983. Graduates are being put to work writing software, using computers to capitalize on market inefficiencies, constructing financial models that predict fluctuations in securities prices, and designing complex mathematical tools to assess portfolio risk.
In engineering, careers are being transformed by several intersecting trends. International companies now draw employees from many nations, seeking out valued experts from a global pool of labor to work project by project. Companies value multilingual workers with a breadth of competencies—managerial as well as technical—and the ability to access and apply new scientific and technologic knowledge. The more flexible and mobile you can be, the more opportunities you will have and the greater will be your control over the shape of your career.
If you're considering a career in science or engineering, step back and imagine the shape of that career. Do you want to focus on "doing" science or engineering? Or a career that is not necessarily categorized as doing science or engineering but instead uses your science or engineering background to make your contribution to society in a different way? Where would you like to be in 5 years? In 20 years? Can you imagine getting there from where you are today?
If you are like most students, it is highly unlikely that you will find specific answers to career questions before graduating. But it is never too soon to find out as much as you can about yourself and the career you envision, alternatives to that career, and how best to match your own personality and desires with the shape of possible careers in science and engineering.
Planning a Career
Of course, there is a limit to how carefully students can—or should—try to plan for an unknowable future. You might have gained the impression that careers proceed in a more or less straight line that begins with an undergraduate degree and leads directly to the position you anticipated. But most career paths are neither straight nor predictable—nor, in the end, would people want them to be. Careers can have as many sudden turns and new directions as life itself. Even your earliest steps along this path will probably be guided by accidents of timing and opportunity as much as by intention. You will go to a particular school or take a particular position because of a conversation with a friend or adviser or a random bit of news. Or someone on a university admissions committee is attracted by a particular detail in your application. Or a postdoctoral position opens on the same day that you happen to call a friend in the same department. The more you have thought about your career, the better able you will be to take advantage of such unplanned events.
People seek careers in science or engineering for many reasons. Some have specific goals: they wish to cure diseases or combat hunger or reduce pollution; or they dream of developing the next laser, transistor, or vehicle for space travel; or they imagine building companies that capitalize on new engineering capabilities. Some choose careers in science or engineering because they are curious about the natural world. Others are motivated by the excitement and beauty of the intellectual world and hope to formulate theories that will lead to new ways of thinking about the world. Still others imagine educating people about science or engineering in schools or through the media; they want to provide counsel or shape public policies on issues of direct relevance to science or engineering. Each of these motivations is legitimate, each is valuable, and each flows naturally from an education in science and engineering.
Careers in science and engineering are essentially hope-filled endeavors that can improve people's lives and result in knowledge that all people can share. As the techniques and products of science and technology have become more central to modern society, a background in science and engineering has become essential to more and more careers. In fact, degrees in science and engineering are becoming as fundamental to modern life as the traditional liberal-arts degree. The contributions of scientists and engineers already extend beyond research and development and throughout the realms of teaching, business, industry, and government. People with bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in science or engineering are forming companies, managing businesses, practicing law, formulating policy, consulting, and running for political office. They are forming global communities of common interests that transcend the differences among individuals, corporate endeavors, or nations.
It is important to remember that science-oriented students are not all alike, any more than all artists or all politicians are alike. Your success will depend on going where your particular interests lead you. Are you exhilarated by the challenge of a new problem or puzzle or need? Does the complexity of the natural world prompt a desire to understand it? If so, science and engineering study—rigorous though it is—will provide you with the tools and concepts that you need to achieve your goals.
Your own goals will determine which academic degree is most appropriate for you. Many people find satisfying careers in a variety of positions after the bachelor's degree. Others, notably engineers, find that a master's degree equips them well for professional careers. For those who hope for careers conducting research and/or teaching at the university level, a PhD will probably be required.
No degree guarantees lifetime employment. Like professionals in other fields, you might still have to change jobs and even careers during your life—perhaps more than once. It is the purpose of this guide to help you lay the foundation for your journey, no matter how many turns your path takes.
Just how rigorous is the path to a scientific or engineering career? Graduate study, in particular, is demanding mentally, physically, and emotionally. Not everyone has the perseverance to complete years of concentrated study. But the experience of doing scientific or technical work is supremely exhilarating for those with sufficient interest and determination. And many people will be willing to help you along the way and assist you over difficult hurdles as you gain the confidence to think and work independently.
Are you bright enough to become a scientist or engineer? Again, there is no standard against which to measure yourself; no kind of intelligence applies across all the many fields of science and engineering. But you can do no better than to trust in your deepest feeling. If your enjoyment of mathematics and science is real, you will probably want to understand, use, and explore them on a deeper level.
ACTIONS POINTS:
Make a list of reasons why you like to study science and engineering and a list of reasons why you don't. Compare the two lists.
Make a list of the positive and negative aspects of various careers in which you are interested.
Seek out people with science and engineering backgrounds who work in careers in which you are interested and ask them to have lunch with you so that you can ask them about their work and how they got where they are today. How do they spend their time? What do they find most satisfying and most disagreeable? Does the life that they describe appeal to you?
If you're an undergraduate, talk with several graduate students; if you're a beginning graduate student, talk with several advanced students or postdoctoral students. Ask them what they have learned that they wish they had known early in their careers.
Despite the slowdown in 2008, engineering still remains as one of the most popular career options for today’s young generation. Graduates from top engineering colleges in India command a lot of respect not only in the country, but globally.
Presently due to the global recession and Satyam scandal, most of the people are in dilemma about Computer Engineering. Students prefer core branches of engineering due to the recession. Trades such as mechanical and civil engineering, which had seen a slump in demand post the boom in the Information Technology sector, are gaining more popularity with more students opting for seats in each branch.
However, Electronics and Communication stream is the most sought-after course with maximum students opting for it. The once highly sought-after Information Technology has taken a backseat.
Parents, who are behind most of these decisions, are weary of pure-IT courses after seeing the impact of the recession on the IT sector and feel that job security is more in these core branches of engineering.
n a significant development, Punjab Technical University (PTU) has initiated a move to scrap the Common Entrance Test (CET) from the next academic session (2010-2011) for admission to B.Tech courses in its affiliated colleges for approximately 26,000 seats for the Bachelor of Technology courses in approximately 76 affiliated colleges.
Talking to The Tribune, Dr Rajneesh Arora, Vice-Chancellor, PTU, confirmed that the university move to scrap the entrance examination from the coming academic session. “We envisage filling the seats only through the AIEEE examination. The move will save time and money for hundreds of students in addition to helping the university in streamlining the admission work.
The issue will be taken up at the meeting of the academic council, followed by a special meeting of the Board of Governors, later this month. A decision in this regard needs to be formally ratified by the Punjab government,” Dr Arora said.
Despite thousands of seat remaining vacant every year and the university allowing plus II students to seek regular admissions later on, each year the university continued to make money at the cost of hundreds who appeared for the entrance examination.
With one more week to go before the last date of counselling, August 17, for admissions in the new academic session, the university is prepared for at least 8,000 seats being left vacant.
The number of vacant seats has continued to grow over the past few years. The data supplied by the Public Cause Society reveals 3,129 seats remaining vacant in 2005, 4,400 in 2006, 3,859 in 2007 and 6,000 in 2008. This year the number of vacant seats is expected to cross 8,000.
“When in a normal class high merit in the entrance examination means nothing when admitting a plus II student later on, why should students waste their time and effort in preparing and appearing for the entrance examination? The CET appears to be nothing more than a money-making machine for the authorities,” said an engineering student from a college near Nawanshahr, affiliated to the university.
The Public Cause Society is demanding scrapping of the CET since 2005.
AK Bhandari, general secretary of the society, said, “We also object to advertisements appearing in newspapers, inviting plus two students for direct admissions. Certain states, including Haryana and Tamil Nadu, have successfully banned state-level CETs and replaced these with the national-level AIEEE. However, our government is holding the CET just to make money”.
Professor Arora said in case “the seats remained vacant after the final counselling, we might invite students from outside states”.
Rajinder Kaur Bhattal, a former Technical Education Minister, had admitted that there were no takers for 37 per cent seats in March 2007.
PHYSICS: Concepts in Physics (Vols I and II ) by HC Verma : A must read book.Read the concepts and do the problems for your own benefit. Arihant Series : The best books to strengthen your concepts especially for Electricity and Magnetism. Then go for books with objective questions for AIEEE (preferably Arihant)
MATHS For Trigonometry and Coordinate Geometry follow S L Loney without any second thought .Its the best. For Calculus follow Piskanov( I doubt the spelling ) for the rest I think coaching class material should be enough. Then do the Objective problems for AIEEE( Arihant has a good collection)
Chemistry: Basic books are NCERT and 12th textbooks. Then you can go for Morrison and Boyd for Organic,J D Lee for Inorganic

AIEEE admissions for 2009 will be fully online using a software jointly developed by NIC and CCB. Eligible Candidates will be required to fill in their options on-line using internet from any place of their convenience and will have the option to change their choices till 11.55PM.
A few features that candidates need to be aware of this year include..
1. Choices can be filled in by candidates from anywhere using internet
2. After the First Round of seat allotment, Second Round of seat allotment and subsequent rounds of seats allotment will be made for the vacant seats. Only those registered candidates who had neither been allotted seats nor withdrawn and gave the willingness for the next round will be considered for the Subsequent Rounds.
3. The candidate who got provisional seat allotment shall report to any admission centre for remote reporting.
The eligible AIEEE 2009 candidates will exercise their choices from anywhere over the Internet by going to www.ccb.nic.in. They can change their choices and lock in their choices before June 28, 2009 by 23.55 or 11:55 PM IST.
The following are the steps to be followed by the candidate for online choice filling and locking:
1. For Online choice filling a candidate has to log on to the website www.ccb.nic.in.
2. Register as a new candidate by using the details given on the admit card.
3. The candidate has to verify his/her credentials such as category, subcategory, gender, state of eligibility and address for communication etc. and will be allowed only once to change.
4. The candidates will fill their choices of seats on-line to indicate the choices of institutions with branches in order of their preference. There will be indicative allotment (Mock Counselling) to make the candidates aware of the possibility of getting a seat for his / her rank.
5. The AIEEE 2009 candidates are permitted, if they so desire, to change or re-order their choices, delete earlier choices and add new choices any number of times until they lock their choices on or before the last date for locking.
6. Finally, candidates have to lock their choices on or before June 28, 2009 by 11.55PM and a print-out of this locked choice is to be preserved with the candidate for further reference. After this, the candidates can not change their options under any circumstances. After locking the choices, if a candidate again logs in, then the choices given by the candidate will be displayed.
7. If the candidate fails to lock his / her choices before the due date, he/she forfeits his right to claim admission and will not be considered for seat allotment.
Seat Allotment and Reporting
The choices submitted by the candidate will be processed centrally and the first round of provisional allotment of seats will be displayed on the internet on 30th June 2009. If the candidate fails to satisfy the qualifications prescribed, the provisional allotment of seat automatically stands cancelled

"Dreams grow holy put in action; work grows fair through starry dreaming,But where each flows on unmingling, both are fruitless and in vain." - by A.A. Procter
To do something big we need to think big, dream big. This is an open forum for sharing your dreams and what is your plan of action for acheiving them.
Choosing,reading and studying the right topics and spending more time on is very important for scoring high in any competitive examination.likewise,choosing the right topics and spend more time on is the key for not only clearing JEE but also for getting a good rank. There are a number of topics in the syllabus which require a lot of time and effort which is nowhere comparable to the time and effort required by other topics.What most students end up doing is cover all those topic which require a lot of time and ignore the other topics leading to a fall on the face when results are declared. There are a number of topics in JEE syllabus which are very easy and are of NCERT level.The key to scoring high is to make sure that one have mastered these topics so that the scoring such questions become a cakewalk. Following this tactic ensure you plan your study well and thus improve your rank too.Some of the topics are mentioned below:
MODERN PHYSICS AND ELECTRONICS :most of the questions are easy and similar to past JEE questions.
WAVE OPTICS :most of the questions are similar to past JEE questions
INORGANIC CHEMISTRY AND GENERAL CHEMISTRY :most of the questions are of NCERT level and are simple.
SOLID STATE :Most of the questions are very easy.
PROBABILITY AND DIFFERENTIATION :most of the questions are simple and NCERT level.
DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS :most of the questions are similar to past JEE questions.
By spending adequate time on these topics ,the scoring in JEE is thus improved to a greater level and not only will you clear JEE but also get a high rank. But beware , don't neglect the other topics. In topics like mechanics, electricity , physical chemistry and analytical geometry , if the concepts are crystal clear and are well understood then many of the questions pertaining to these topics can be easily handled.
In the end, I'll conclude with just one advise,studying hard is important but studying smart is more important.
Two studenst of M.Tech. in Design Engineering of teh Indian Institute of technology,Delhi have developed a unique potato sowing machine which can be attached to a tractor in a farm.Nivesh Pandya and Rajesh Kumar Dwivedi, studying in the first year has designed and fabricated the machine.
The machine was shown by students at "I2Tech Open House 2009" held April 2009."This is for the first time someone has developed a potato sowing machine," said Nivesh and Rajesh.
"We produce potato in large quantity but it is sown manually in our country. The machine will be powered by the tractor it is attached to. Potato seeds are placed in the hopper of the machine. Through a belt and cup arrangement, the seeds are picked up and dropped in the field. The machine also has furrows, and as the tractor moves ahead the furrows will cover the soil over these seeds. The machine also has a pump to spray insecticides on the soil before the seeds are placed," said Nivesh.
"We will file a patent for our machine in July," added Nivesh.
"The equipment is light in weight and costs Rs.10,000 to Rs.15,000. It can be used to sow other large-sized seeds also. The machine has been designed in such a way that the right distance between the seeds is maintained," further said Nivesh.
The unique innovation in the field of farming may change the way we do farming in India and due to low costs attached farmers all around country will be able to own and use it easily.
