IITs no doubt are world class & command tremendous respect. But seats in IITs are limited. About 5000 students qualify in IIT-JEE. Several regional
engineering colleges are also making a very good effort & endeavoring to match the standards of IITs.
For a good career it is not only important that you graduate from a great institution but equally or may be more important it is to get the branch
/ discipline of your choice, e.g. if you have an aptitude for computer engineering & have a rank of 2000 in IIT-JEE, it would be more advisable to
choose any other good state engineering college giving you an option to study computer science / engineering.
In order to have several useful options one should have comprehensive preparations involving various exams.
Considering that IITs have only 3500 seats & other good engineering colleges offer another 50000 seats, it makes immense sense to prepare for
exams other than IITs too!!! After all more than 10 lakh students appear in engineering entrance exams.
What is required is good classroom teaching alongwith good study material with adequate problems for practice and final exam-like tests to
build-up a sound examination temperament.
It is observed that there is no systematic guidance available to students preparing for AIEEE and CEE (Delhi University – DCE & NSIT) / CET
(Karnataka) / CET (G.G.S.I.P. University) / BVP (Pune) / CET (Maharastra) / EAMCET (Andhra Pradesh) / TNPCEE (Tamilnadu) / CEE (Kerala) /
SEE-UPTU / PET (Madhya Pradesh) / PET (Chattisgarh) / PET (Rajasthan) / BCECE (Bihar) / WBJEE (West Bengal) / JEE (Orissa) / CET (Punjab) /
AMUEE / JKCET / JCECE (Jharkhand). Students have to rely on sub-standard study material which results in poor performance.
