What's more Important?

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.

IIT students' recent innovation!

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.

Good news to IIT Aspirants!

There's a reason for all IIT aspirants to rejoice as Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IIT-Kanpur) is all set to start an extension centre in Noida at sector 62.The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) has given a green signal and has granted permission to IIT-Kanpur to start an extension centre.

"The work for the extension centre will be completed by 2012. A distance learning centre will also be opened there," said Rajiv Kashalkar, Registrar IIT-Kanpur.

The extension centre will be the facsimile of India International Centre and function on the same line as well. Moreover, technocrats will impart technical education through conferences.

Several short-term management courses and refresher courses meant for distance learning will also be offered at extension centre.
