Get fundamentals right to crack Entrance Exams
These career options are available for those aspirants who want to earn a lot of money with a perfect lifestyle. But they need to work hard to get the qualifications for these jobs. Competition is increasing. The most important factor for success in any field is the inherent qualities like the diligence, sincerity, and ability to work hard, in the student. The image below shows how many children in India appear for JEE Mains and Advanced. If you think that your child has an aptitude for becoming an engineer/doctor then encourage them, support them, help them to become the best they can be.
If you or your child are planning to appear for entrance exams after 10+2, regular school education won’t give you the guidance for that. Coaching classes can play a supportive role in preparation. They guide and orient the students in the right direction by familiarising them with the range of content they must cover for the exams; help them develop their skills and abilities by providing essential study material, through mock tests with model papers, and assessments of tests. We are not saying that coaching classes are good. They cost not only time, money but a lot of effort from the child in trying to manage schools and coaching classes. If your child can do the preparation himself, well and good. But most of the kids struggle with fundamentals.
Great sculptors and artists spend countless hours perfecting their talents. They don’t pick up a chisel or a brush and palette, expecting immediate perfection. They understand that they will make many errors as they learn, but they start with the basics, the key fundamentals first
But now with technology advancement and the internet, everything is just a click away. But then one suffers from information overload. There are also lots of options on the net which have good material which is also fun and entertaining.
