@Ramya you have thought a face for me 😆😆.

@aditi you said it right. The level at which you need to prepare for boards and that for entrance is different. Another thing is that if you don't get entrance, still have good score in boards you will have multiple options, but flunking in boards, not doing well in boards you can land in trouble.

I still remember the girl who had couple of ranks better than me in engineering. Those days to get seat we had to go to a centralized counseling centre where seats will be allotted. Newspapers will have dates of counseling and times for a set of ranks at a particular time. I could see this girl pleading for a seat. And the officer telling no. Reason her plus 2 maths was 48, whereas for engineering in those days 50 was needed. So even with a good rank she didn't get the seat

If you learn to do multiple choice, without understanding fundamental, then it is a problem. Board is fundamental. We need to understand that and if we understand that then entrance becomes easy. Many coaching centres do it reverse. Give quick fix for entrance without teaching fundamentals. Hence all this become complex.

Yes u r right I know many people who concentrate solely on boards and then drop a year and get a good college, most of the iitians are droppers only , but if u flunk in boards it becomes very difficult. . atleast by doing good in boards u can get into a good college and pursue Commerce or eco or English etc there are many options..

Yes that time it might have been more difficult but nowadays since many private colleges are there where placements are equally good as the govt engineering has become a bit easy but competition is still very high...
About 12 lakh students appear for JEE mains ...

You are right about boards they concentrate on fundamentals , I left my coaching for this very reason that they didn't taught the base but gave only questions.. Private tutions were better for boards..
That's why my first entrance exam was not good as I had only knowledge of boards but didn't know how to apply it properly... But then my main focus was question solving and finally I did well in my other entrances..
In fact I got very low in JEE mains , but due to good percentage in boards a got a good rank, so yes boards are more important(as they take 40% marks of board too)
later I concentrated on entrance level and got about much better rank for other entrances...

Hey, which is your field? medicine? or fine arts? But believe me whatever I learnt and dealt in Engineering is purely for knowledge and betterment but what fascinates me even today is the books on history which husband feels dead subject. But the irony is he is the one who gets me books on history if he come across any during his trips.

My field is scientific research. Most of my colleagues are atheist. Idk why people think that when they can dig and find the roots, they can solve everything in life. Half of my energy is always wasted in the argument😉. If I ignore them, they think we don't have answer. Maybe thats the reason none are known so far of my line in this forum.😊

When I was asked to join engineering by my family, I straight away rejected the suggestion. None accepted my aim of becoming scientist for the following two main reasons at that time
1. Not possible for a woman
2. Can't spend so much of years in learning

It is our duty to make them understand and I am happy that there are more students entering this zone nowadays.😊

@Jaya count me in. Studied engineering. Fascination in history, mythology. Anything available in these lines I am always there 😆 Edited by shruthiravi - 8 years ago

Although the kings, by their churlish behavior, lost all right to respect and empathy, it was an opportunity for Maharaj Janak to share a life truth!

Not all of us can do everything and there is no shame in not being able to do something. At the end of the day, success is an artificial construct that society has put up.

All of us cannot aim to break the shivdhanush. In real life, there are different shivdhanushes for each of us. Some we have the ability to break and some we don't! The problem occurs when all of us decide that there is one single shivdhanush and only those who break it are successful.

We need to be able to understand our own innate strengths and pick  the right shivdhanush for us. Although, there is no shame is failing even. At least we tried!

@Bertie the problem was with the kings in not trying to understand why Raja Janak had kept such a thing for swayamvar.

@Ramya problem with extreme religion is that they view science with suspicion, and problem with extreme science is that they discard religion as superstition. Actually both are needed just like APJ a greatest scientist of our times showed us the way he lived.

 

Its true shruthi. The point is beyond certain level, its shunya. We have to accept it as such. I too have a rational method but I accept in many cases in physics we introduce a constant (with full meaning only 😉) but as we proceed further all the constants be added and still be denoted by a constant. A constant is a constant no matter what we do to it (dont bring differentiator, still we can take zero as a constant 😆). Likewise supreme power is one and it exist, no matter whether we realise it or not.
