The All India Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental Entrance Test (AIPMT) 2014, your gateway to MBBS or BDS degree, exam date is approaching: May 5, 2014. The AIPMT 2014 scores will be used for admission to 15 per cent of undergraduate Medical and Dental course seats in Government Medical/Dental Colleges of India in addition to participating State Government's Universities/Institutes. Although the exam seems right around the corner, it's never too late for smart revision. Here are some tips!
Paper Pattern: AIPMT 2014 test consists of 180 objective-type multiple choice questions from Physics, Chemistry and Biology (Botany and Zoology) to be answered in 3 hours. The syllabus is based on topics both from Class 11 and Class 12.
Syllabus:
Physics - 45 questions  
Class XI: Physical World and Measurement; Kinematics; Laws of Motion; Work, Energy and Power; Motion of System of Particles and Rigid Body; Gravitation; Properties of Bulk Matter; Thermodynamics; Behavior of Perfect Gas and Kinetic Theory; Oscillations and Waves
Class XII: Electrostatics; Current Electricity; Magnetic Effects of Current and Magnetism; Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Currents; Electromagnetic Waves; Optics; Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation; Atoms and Nuclei; Electronic Devices
Chemistry - 45 questions
Class XI: Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry; Structure of Atom; Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties; Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure; States of Matter: Gases and Liquids; Thermodynamics; Equilibrium; Redox Reactions; Hydrogen; s-Block Element (Alkali and Alkaline Earth metals); Some p-Block Elements; Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques; Hydrocarbons; Environmental Chemistry
Class XII: Solid State; Solutions; Electrochemistry; Chemical Kinetics; Surface Chemistry; General Principles and Processes of Isolation of Elements; p-Block Elements; d and f Block Elements; Coordination Compounds; Haloalkanes and Haloarenes; Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers; Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids; Organic Compounds Containing Nitrogen; Biomolecules; Polymers; Chemistry in Everyday Life
Biology - 90 questions
Class XI: Diversity in Living World; Structural Organization in Animals and Plants; Cell Structure and Function; Plant Physiology; Human Physiology
Class XII: Reproduction; Genetics and Evolution; Biology and Human Welfare; Biotechnology and its Applications; Ecology and Environment

Tips:
  • Cover all topics given in syllabus, avoid skipping any topic
  • Prepare beginning from Class 11 syllabus before moving on to Class 12. Make sure you are clear on the basic concepts.
  • Don't hesitate to clear confusions from Class 11 even though you are in Class 12
  • Begin your preparation as soon as possible
  • First understand concepts from NCERT books before moving on to others.
  • When selecting extra books to study from, aim to focus more on question banks/ sample papers/ previous papers and buy text books for topics you have doubts in or are weak in
  • Make sure when you buy question banks/ sample papers/ previous year papers that answers are given. This way you can identify and improve on the sections you went wrong in.
  • Create a quick revision sheet for each subject. Add points that are important and that you are likely to forget.
  • Follow subject-wise study patterns instead of applying the same studying technique to all subjects for example use flow charts for Biology Processes, a formulae list for Physics numericals and mnemonics for Biology and Chemistry
  • Create a fresh study schedule every month based on your success or difficulty with the current study schedule.
  • Try to study at least 2 subjects per day and increase to 3 subjects to get into the habit of thinking about all 3 subjects that will appear in the exam
  • Study diagrams, even though you won't be asked to draw any diagram based questions may come.
  • As AIPMT questions are not necessarily repeated it important to revise all topics carefully
  • Give extra attention to Biology 90 questions are based on it. Study Botany and Zoology equally.
  • Practice Sample papers and previous year papers within the time limit you will be given at the exam.
  • Revise at least twice

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
