Tips to tackle Negative Marking in IIT JEE

Handle Negative Marking in IIT JEE


Negative marking scenario adopted by the CBSE Boards for IIT JEE entrance exam has put the IIT aspirants in deep thoughts as to how would they be able to make it to the top.Negative Marking is the way IIT has chosen to evaluate the entrance examination to filter majority of the unprepared students.This is to check that only the deserving students are taken in and yes, it is hard to know that this evaluation process deducts marks gained by marking the right answers on a whole if a wrong answer is marked out of the given options.
To tackle Negative Marking is a challenge to bet, and it starts when you are 90%- 70% sure of an answer to be marked out of the given options. The beauty of these multiple choice questions are that all the choices look very similar to each other.This makes it even more challenging.The initial step to deal with this evaluation process of IIT JEE is to be extra cautious while preparing for the IIT JEE entrance exams.
Read a few ways to handle Negative Marking Evaluation Process.
  1. Know the particulars of the exam well.The exam pattern,IIT JEE Syllabus,Cut offs and the time limit.
  2. Make use of the time you have for IIT JEE Preparations.Don't let it go for waste.Solve as many problems as possible before the revision time.
  3. Follow an order while you prepare for IIT JEE. Do a chapter wise preparation where you study the topics perfectly and then solve related problems.Memorize your formulas and do revise them before the day of exams.
  4. Once you get the JEE question paper, look through the paper completely first.You will be happy to see so many questions to which you are sure of the answers.Start answering them first and then look up for the other questions later.
  5. Do not do guessing work here,at any cost.You will lose marks if the answer is wrong. Instead chose to leave it unanswered as you don't lose or gain by doing this.
  6. Enter the exam hall leaving behind the anxiety and stress that will lead you to mark the wrong answer in spite of knowing the right answer.Be cool and confident.
  7. mark the answers only if you are sure of it. it might be out of your subject knowledge or out of your gut feeling.Do not get your self to erase or change the answer that is marked already.
Do have a positive approach towards this evaluation pattern,after all it brings the best in you :)

Kota Topper Story: Shitikanth IIT JEE 2008 Topper

Image
I gave JEE in 2009 and used to hear about this "topper" guy from the 2nd floor of my hostel. Topper of A1. I didn't pay too much attention. Then one day after my dinner my friends asked me if I noticed who was sitting next to me during the meal. I said no. They said it was the same guy. I didn't care much there either. I saw him for the first time in a cricket field. The lean stick-figure boy who didn't speak much. He had a ball in his hand and a single electric pole was being used as the wicket. I was fielding. I saw him bowl and all my senses absorbed after that was the clattering sound of the ball on the pole. That's when I was introduced Sitikanth. And the stories began! Once during class, V K Bansal (THE BANSAL of Bansal Classes) told us a story of when 2 weeks before JEE Sitikanth came to him, dejected and confused. Saying he had nothing to do. Bansal Sir gave him the toughest integration problems he had, thinking this should be enough to keep him a

The Most Brilliant Students of Kota Ever

Anuj Nagpal(AIR 190):  This guy was the most intelligent person I ever met. In hostel, he was one of the most fun loving guys, he only used to do the assignments of mathematics (only because it was taught to us by the director of the coaching). Though I was not in his hostel but my closest friends were in his hostel and used to tell me all the stuff they did at night. Late night chats, discussion about random things (which had no relation with JEE at all). There was a time when all feared Nagpal and used to say "Nagpal is gonna come and he is going to spoil our full night." That guy was much different from all other people I have ever met.  He got an AIR 190 only because we weren't taught inorganic chemistry, else he would have got much better rank than this.  He is AIR190 in JEEAdv 2014, AIR190(State rank 2) in JEEMain 2014, BITSAT score-398, CBSE 12th %- 97.6. Rajdeep(AIR 1700 in first attempt, AIR 1200 in second attempt):  This was the coolest guy I ever met, studie

How much You can get by Selling your IIT JEE RANK ??

Shubham Tulsiani says This is quite a common practice among institutes so I would like to address the trends too apart from the personal experiences and I'll also write on one aspect the question didn't explicitly ask  - offers  before  JEE Pre-JEE (class 12th) I had a couple of 'offers' - Some people from Akash Institute came over to my place to 'gift' me books to help me prepare for JEE. All I had to do was - guess what - yes, sign a form ! I was amazed at how insistent they were and despite me saying I didnt need the books and wouldn't sign,  they made me keep the books. They then visited / called me about 5 more times to get my signature (until I finally returned the unused books on their last visit and told my hostel guard to not allow them back). I later learnt that they had been giving these 'gifts' to some of my (well performing) batchmates in Bansal Classes too and unfortunately a lot of them had signed up too. I was also on
