How to perform well for entrance exam?

1) Be thorough about the portions. This is something that any teacher/instructor would tell you. But more often, people fail to recognize what it actually means. It is very evident that it is impossible for any person to learn the entire syllabus completely. When preparing for entrance exam, however small the portion is, ensure that you learn it completely. For example, judging by Kerala entrance exam pattern, in physics-chemistry paper there are around 4 questions from modern physics. Though it looks like a very small number, it can make a lot of difference in the final rank that you secure. If you can ensure that you know modern physics completely, you can ensure that you have got 16 marks.

2) Stay calm. Competitive exams are all about handling the pressure. Even if you have prepared well, but cannot keep your composure on the big day you can land yourself in trouble. Wise are the people who stay calm even at the time of adversities. If you feel the question paper is unusually tough, know that it will be tough for others too. In an entrance exam what matters is relative performance. So a calm composed mind can ensure that you perform to your fullest potential.

3) Practice continuously. Practice makes man perfect. There is no gimmick or short cut to success. Only through sustained hard work and practice can one beat the competition. Even if you know all the portions, if you have not taken model tests you are handicapped. It is never too late. Make sure that you have written atlas 5-6 complete model tests before you appear for the main exam. You can take our online model exams from your home and get the feel of writing an exam. This ensures that you do not waste any time traveling etc.

4) Pay attention to your health Many students will not consider this as a piece of advice. But the truth is, it does matter a lot. Eating heavy, hard to digest food affects retention capacity. When attending morning classes, we often tend to skip breakfast.  Eating breakfast regularly keeps us energized throughout the day and is considered as the most important meal of the day. Exercise regularly. Exercise will help keep you calm during exams. You’ll feel more energised and refreshed, and that will help you perform better in your exams. Just 30 minutes of moderate exercise will be sufficient. Techniques like yoga and meditation will help a lot in getting concentration as well as relaxation and will be very useful in the long run.

    Hi,
    I find Physics the toughest among the pcm…Can you please tell me how to study and score well in Phy…..and how to do the problems easily??What percent of the total questions are theory based in the kerala engg entrance/…

    • admin says:

      Hello Neeta,
      It is very difficult to predict how many questions are theory based and how many will be application type questions. However, the general trend is medicine entrance has more theory questions than engineering. Like we have said in earlier posts, practice makes perfect!

    Dear Sir,
    I am a student in the Gulf. I plan to attempt the Kerala medical ent. exam 2012…the main problem tht students here face is the dearth of exposure…no coaching available in here!
    Firstly,
    is reading through NCERT CBSE textbooks enough for Kerala ent? what about doing the same for an AIPMT or Vellore CMC ent. exams?could you plz tell me the difference? here we just have our CBSE textbooks, maybe a modern ABC phy, chem…a few dinesh, pradeep books…

    Secondly:
    As of know can i be assured that there will be no NEET-UG common ent. in 2012??? Since many states are opposing it…and i even heard htat cbse is against it….

    Thirdly:
    this question may be a bit out of the way….but since your quick responses to ppl’s comments has impressed me a lot..lemme ask…Is prof. pc thomas or pala brilliant a better coaching centre for Medical aspirants? on the basis of results atleast…

    i hope for a quick response as u guys always do….

    • Hi Cuckoo,

      Sorry for the delay.
      For writing any entrance, you need to have the concepts clear. For that you can follow any good text book and get your doubts cleared with your teachers. Once your concepts are clear, you have to start practicing entrance papers. Try our online exams and you’ll be able to get a really good preparation, before the exam.

      NEET has been cancelled for 2012.

      Your last question :) .
      We don’t suggest anybody. It is basically the intensity of the aspirant that really matters. These coaching centres keep you immersed in your lessons day in and out, that’s how their students get to the top. If you can do it on your own, then well and good.

    awaiting a quick reply

  5. sankar vaidyanathan says:

    i want to know the pattern for the engg entrance 2012. how many questions will be there for each subject and what is the time allotted and what will be the marks for every correct ans and how many marks will be deducted for every wrong ans.

    • Hi Sankar,

      For each correct response in the Engineering and Medical Entrance Examinations, the candidates will be awarded FOUR marks, and for each incorrect response, ONE mark will be deducted from the total score. For all these papers, in the event of failure to answer a question, (that is, no response is indicated against a question in the answer-sheet) no deduction from the total score will be made. More than one answer indicated against a question will be deemed as incorrect response, and will be awarded negative marks.

      For Engineering and Medical Entrance Examinations, each Paper will have 120 questions to be answered in 150 minutes.

      Try our online exams. You’ll get a clear idea of the pattern and the type of questions.

    Sir am a verage student my percntge in +1 is 60 and iam very lezy(uzhappal) grl how i change my lezynes and how i scrd good rank in eng

    • Hi Sreya,
      :) What a question!!!

      One thing you can do is to practice few previous year papers since questions get repeated in entrance exams.
      So even if you can’t do anything else, do this.

  7. pra says:

    can i know the unit wise weightage for physics in kerala engineering exam

  8. abhi says:

    sir, is pradeeps objective books were suitble for kerala engg ? Did aieee syllabus is same as kerala engg tutors in my coaching centre said that one who prepare well for aieee could get a high rank in kerala engg

    • Dear Abhi,

      There are many such books that have Kerala engineering entrance questions. No, AIEEE and IIT question standards are way above Kerala entrance standard. However if you prepare well for IIT/AIEEE it will be much easier to deal with Kerala entrance.

  9. MIDHUN K says:

    Resp. Sir,
    I’m preparing for AIPMT & Kerala entrnc 2013. Cud u pls tell me from which part of chemistry most qstns will ask ? Organic ??? I feel it is very tough 4 me.. Which i hav to consider d most , NCERT text or objective books ?????

  10. anurudh says:

    sir what would be the weightage of questions in maths from first and second year is it 50:50 is it better to skip first year topics. studying both is quite hard and is there is any trick to study calculus all questions are very hard from this

    • Dear Anurudh,

      It will be self-destructive to skip first year topics. You need both first year and second year topics to score well for entrance exams. Even after you chose engineering you will still have to study advanced calculus. If you skip it now it will damage both your entrance score as well as your engineering maths.

  11. tony says:

    So the best way would be to eat up the NCERT XI&XII textbooks, huh?
    By “eating up” I DON’T mean a mug-up.
    I’m TRYING to get into the medical stream.
    PS: Lazy guy with heaps of starting trouble.
