While studying in Coaching Institutions

We are flooded with claims of various coaching institutions claiming thousands of successful candiadates in IIT-JEE from their classes. While I understand that these data are correct, I also understand that there are thousands of students who studied there but couldnot qualify.

Parents and students shouldn't feel that joining a reputed coaching class is good enough or necessary for clearing IIT-JEE. Every individual is different. So, he should understand himself and prepare accordingly for best results. Coaching classes are helpful, no doubt, but one needs to know where he requires help. This help can be obtained from any where. If someone feels that he requires help for each and every topic all the time, then I am convinced, he needs to first change himself.

So, one tip I can offer, in general that..

Do some research on internet about the cut-off marks in IIT-JEE, see past year JEE questions, and prepare yourself to score more than cut-off marks on those types of questions. Take help from wherever it is available and whenever needed. But you should know the past few years cut-offs and corresponding question papers. You should do this on your own without taking help from any compilation of coaching classes.
