Almost every student
has got the potential to perform well in examinations but this potential has to
get changed into strategic thinking for performing better. Today, entrance
exams mostly carry different emotions from the students. Some feel that these
exams are a boon since they make way for a successful career while some think
it is just a burden a laid on students. Well, actually it is both. It is an
extra effort that is expected from the student’s side as they are already tied
up with the basic course syllabus. But ultimately, most of the institutes in
India as well as in abroad admit students based on these exams only and give
less importance to high school exams.
Importance of entrance
exam
Nowadays, entrance
exams are perhaps the most important criteria for admission in college.
Immediately, after passing the 10th board exams students have to be
ready to face all kinds of entrance exams, for
graduation, post-graduation, or doctorate programs. Even they have to start preparing
for GRE, for which they have to take GRE
test prep classes.
In
today’s competitive world, Students prepare for entrances for more than a year
to achieve a good rank in entrance exams like IIT, AIEEE, GMAT, CAT, GRE etc.
The students prepare themselves to be very efficient and excel the problem
solving skills as they get approximately only a minute or less to answer each
question. Students can achieve this only if they are serious with the subject
matter.
Entrance
exam: a boon
Entrance exams are a boon for students who are excellent
in core subjects but not that good in the others. Like, if a class XII student is
excellent in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and desires to be an Engineer but
has not got a good grade in his board examination because he scored less in
subjects like English, Biology or Geography, might perform well in the Entrance
Exam and get admission in the course he wishes to be. Entrance Exams checks the
students’ subject knowledge but not theoretical knowledge,thus, the multiple
choice questions are framed very wisely and the students are expected to answer
them in the allotted time frame. A studentwho is quite good in concepts will never
find the entrance exams to be a burden. Also, students have to take proper IIT,
AIEEE, GMAT, GRE prep classes to get
well trained.
Wipe off the fear
Students always have the fear of since an entrance Exams
because they are tied up in a busy college schedule and find less time preparing
for the same. For those students Time Management and strong determination is
the only key. Students have to dedicate time and study from the University Exam
and the Entrance Exam point of view and maintain a balance between the two to
get admission in prestigious institutes. Apart from this, one has to maintain a
proper mental balance and take it easy because stress does not help in performing
well in exams. Regular studies and hard work helps a
student to crack the entrance exam and live his dream.
