How to Balance Between IIT JEE and Board Preparation?

Since 2013, for all the students appearing for Engineering Entrance Exam the weightage of Board Exam has increased. So it is important for all the students to know how to balance their preparation for Engineering Exam as well as their Board Exam. Most students as well as parents have the fear of not doing justice in terms of preparation for both the exams. But this is not exactly true.First of all you must know that 3/4th of the syllabus for Board Exam and Engineering Exam is common i.e. Physics, Chemistry and Maths. Most of the students preparing for Engineering Exams take Vocational Courses. So they have to study two new subjects apart from these three subjects.

While preparing for IIT JEE ensure that you understand the subject very well. The concepts have to be crystal clear and you must have thorough in-depth knowledge. I can guarantee this knowledge will be useful for other exams also, including your Board Exams.

The Main Difference Between Boards and IIT JEE:

The major difference is the way of presenting the solutions. You need to practice that method through tests. By solving previous years Board papers you can gain confidence and present answers correctly under time pressure. Also students should take Board prelims very sincerely. With the relative result of your Board Prelims you can judge how to distribute your time between JEE and Boards. In this manner you can very easily balance IIT JEE, and Board exam preparation.

No Gaps Allowed for IIT JEE:

One important point all the students should remember is never have a gap in your IIT JEE preparation. This means you should not stop studying for IIT JEE while you are preparing for your Board Exam. You can easily take out 2 to 3 hours every day even during Board Exam preparation. It is not difficult; but you must be strong willed to follow this method. It is really important because if you completely stop studying for IIT during Board Exam then your confidence may become low.

Finally I would like to say that nothing is impossible or difficult if you can be stringent with your routine, put in disciplined efforts and have a positive approach then you will do well on both exams!
