The Love Story of Two IITians

Today, I wish to share with you an experience of my life which I can bet will change your views about life as it changed mine. It is an incident of our IIT days when one of my roommates fell in love with the most glamorous and dazzling girl of our batch. I was not really against their relationship but the only doubt I had was that they were quite opposite personalities. My friend was an introvert, shy person whereas the girl was very jovial and extrovert. Also may be because of her light-hearted nature I felt that she was not very serious about their relationship. But the fact that mattered was that they seemed to be quite compatible. Then I got placed in the USA and took my family along. My friend got a placement in India.

After a long span of 9 years I got the opportunity of making a business trip to India. I could not dare to miss

The fight between AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal and BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi for supremacy in this temple town has divided students of IIT, Varanasi into two camps who will campaign for their chosen candidate in their own ways. "I would have supported Kejriwal, but I was not happy with the way he performed in Delhi. He should have proved himself. Running a nation involves a lot of things which includes your economic and other policies. Modi is a tested brand and he has shown his mettle in Gujarat," says 21-year-old Archit Bindal. Bindal, an electrical branch student at the IIT whose establishment is intimately linked with that of the Banaras Hindu University (BHU), will along with other Modi-supporter friends campaign in his own way. He, however, maintains that if given a choice between AAP and BJP in Delhi, he would prefer the new party and give it a second chance. Preetam Machi (22), another Modi supporter, a fourth year mining student sa

Before giving admission to any student, most educational institutions across the world make it a point to evaluate skills of students through a variety of competitive exams. These competitive exams help an educational institution acknowledge students’ understanding of concepts, sharpness of mind, logical ability, and their intelligence. One such competitive exam that has garnered huge prominence after JEE-ADVANCED in the country is JEE-MAIN or All India Engineering Entrance Examination. JEE-MAIN is the test given by engineering aspirants for a seat in any of the government engineering institutes in India. Let’s go through a couple of key features of success in JEE-MAIN: Clear Understanding of Concepts JEE-MAIN hold great significance for engineering aspirants.

Despite the fact, students are leaving no stones unturned to crack JEE and secure the coveted engineering seat in one of their favorite institutions. As the exam date is drawing close, most students are busy honing their skills in other important aspects of exam preparations. Done with their preparations (most of them), they are identifying their weak points and working on them enthusiastically. This is the period when most students turn to previous years papers for a very different reason. They turn to previous years papers only to predict questions in the forthcoming exam. Although predicting problems in the approaching exam is an ideal part of an exam preparation, not every can master it by just going through some old papers. There is no science behind it but logic is. Students are required to carefully observe the pattern of all the questions on last few yea
