IIT AND KOTA

I think the rarity of girls at the  IITs  is somehow one of the most relished plans of the God to test the character of ‘innocent’ male students who make it to the IITs. And it starts right with the JEE preparation. IIT JEE, as you know, is one of the most difficult exams in the world that you have to crack at the age of 17 or 18. God makes best use of this opportunity to ease his workload and save a lot of time on girls. He picks and choose a few girls to be ‘studious’ type and inspires them on to prepare for the JEE exams. True to their nature, these girls become all caught up with their preparation and study 24 hours a day! For the benefit of the world at large, God does His best to keep the most beautiful females out of this ‘special ‘category. These girls spare God from listening to a lot of prayers like: “Oh God! Which dress should I wear?” “God please, please tell me which dress would make me look the best in the party? “God! Is this the right diet/hair/guy for m

The 49 th  Inter-IIT Sports meet is being conducted at  IIT Guwahati  this week. That's right folks! It's that time when us bunch of nerds try to brawl it out with another bunch of nerds in an attempt to uplift one's self-esteem and make one feel like the James Dean of College. "Look at me... I'm the Hockey team captain...... of IIT Guwahati. Ain't that something?" Just kidding! It's a great time to have where a bunch of really talented people match it up which also allows for the  IIT students  to get in touch with each other. This is one of the best inter college events in the country and is organized in one of the IIT's every year. Last time, it was organised in  IIT Roorkee  in December 2012. It can be considered sort of mini Olympics for the people involved. It features a variety of sports ranging from Football, Cricket, and Basketball to Squash, Table Tennis. Every IIT fights for its victory, resulting in a battlefield. It happens every ye

• More emphasis should be given on calculus and algebra. • The combinations of Geometry, trigonometry, probability problems may be given go through all the basic formula’s in all the topics. • Geometrical applications of additions, subtractions, multiplications, division of complex numbers must be known thoroughly. • The applications of Geometry and differen tial equations must be known in all aspects. • The results of algebraic calculations of properties of conics must be known • All properties of definite integrals and its applications must be known. In last 2,3 days: • Students must recognize what concepts and formulas they forgetting. This changes from student to student. • Read those concepts and revise • Every day solve two are three model examinations for tuning of the calculations • Care ful reading of the question gives u a clue Don’ts: • Do not discuss the paper I performance with anybody even through cell phone in break time • Calculators, Logarithmic tables or any other ca

Ritesh Dahiya grew up in Kota long before it became the Mecca for engineering and medical aspirants. “Kota was a small town in the 90s. I used to be a very shy kid at school, and did not have many extracurricular interests apart from playing cricket with friends occasionally. I heard of IIT only in Class XI, when someone told me that it is a bada achha college,” reminiscences Dahiya. After joining IIT-Delhi for a BTech in electrical engineering, Dahiya decided to change his image and totally immersed himself in extracurricular activities. He was able to emerge from his shell and was nicknamed “social animal”. He was the hostel representative in the Board of Student Welfare, IIT-Delhi and also became the general secretary of the Electrical Engineering Society of the college. This was where he began to realise his goals. Baby-faced Dahiya joined HCL Technologies from campus and was sent on projects to the US very early in his career. It was a major change for the small town boy.

With just a month before the results of the  Common Admission Test  (CAT) are announced, most  Indian Institutes of Management  (IIMs) have released their  selection criteria  for their flagship post-graduate programme. Most have retained the 90 percentile cut-off. The ones at Raipur, Kozhikode, Ranchi, Lucknow, Udaipur and Kashipur fall in this category. IIM-Trichy, which was under IIM-Bangalore's mentorship, has also given an indicative percentile of 90. While IIM-Calcutta has kept an overall cut-off of 95 percentile, with 90 percentile as the sectional cut-off, IIM-Rohtak has given a minimum of 85 percentile. IIM-Shillong has set it at 70 percentile in each section. IIM-Bangalore is yet to announce its cut-offs. Last year, it was 90 percentile. IIM-B's emphasis on consistent performance with previous academic records taken into consideration will continue. IIM-B will not have a fee hike this year as there was an increase in the past two consecutive years. It is Rs 17 lakh
