FAQ (Frequently Asked Question)

Ans. In today’s scenario many institutes are offering courses for class V onwards. But we feel that class IX is the right stage to start serious preparations for your career. This is important because it gives you strong fundamentals and a relevant exposure to the competitive world.

Ans. With only 3 months left for NEET 2024, it is not really possible to attain this score just by practicing PYQ. If you have prepared from the beginning and are thorough with the syllabus atleast this stage, then you can.

Ans. It is not necessary to study only Engineering/Medicine after opting Science stream in class XI. But it is equally true that no other career option except Engg/Med. can offer the same prospects in terms of career graph, prestige and money.

Ans. To secure a good rank in JEE Mains, it’s generally recommended to aim for accuracy over quantity. Attempting at least 45-50 questions correctly is a good target. Focus on the questions you are confident about, manage your time wisely, and ensure a strong understanding of the concepts. Remember, quality performance matters more than the sheer number of questions attempted.

Ans. As per our Indian education system we have seen that almost all the successful personalities are from Science background. Also, studying sciences gives the maximum mental development as you can relate it with your daily life.

Based on this fact, Institute should be such that the teachers are well experienced, stable and take pain along with the student. Also the student teacher ratio should be optimum to provide individual attention.

Ans. No, it is not necessary to join any coaching for Engg./Medical entrance preparation. But without any professional coaching, it is very difficult to crack these competitive exams. Coaching is required to provide the right concepts, to clear the doubtful areas, to help you in balancing school studies with competitive exam preparation and to guide you in facing the toughness of these exams.

Ans. A professional Coaching Institute will offer you an exhaustive and in depth coverage of syllabus alongwith complete study material, testing & evaluation system, competitive environment, library facility etc. A private tution will only provide you with spoon fed learning.

Ans.Our institute is backed by an academician. It is not being run by businessmen. Our interest is to produce the best results for which we are known since 1993 at Sehgal’s, so we do take personal care.

Ans. Private tuitions can help you score better at your school level but for competitive exams preparation, you need to incorporate more of self study after learning the concepts under a systematic, scientific and professional institute.

In the second case, Sehgal’s is maintaining a steadily increasing success rate every year with a student base including the average, better and the best students.

Ans. We have been regularly maintaining a success ratio of 70-75% every year for Engg./Med. Entrance exams.

Ans. The best Coaching Institute varies as per your requirement. It depends on the criteria of a student and parent on the basis of which they will select the Institute. If individual attention and personal focus is your criteria, Sehgal School of Competitions will rank the highest !

Ans. If you haven’t taken any coaching till now, you must join a Crash course for a quick revision under expert guidance. Even if you have taken any guidance for preparation till now, a Crash course will surely help you to brush up the whole syllabus in a systematic way.

Ans. Self study is the most important factor to crack any exam. The teachers can give you right concepts and motivate you to use your full potential. But it is only self study which will take you through the process. Without self study and rigorous practice in writing, no one can qualify any exam.

Ans. Yes, its definitely possible to manage School & Competitive exams preparation together. It will involve hard work, consistency and discipline but it will pay you highly in the long run.

Ans. The study material is prepared by the same faculty members who teach, to maintain a balance alongwith the classroom teaching.

Ans. JEE/NEET are tough competitive exams and require both academic as well as mental strength. If one really wants to score a good rank, make yourself a serious aspirant by working hard and preparing well. This struggle will become a smooth journey, if you do your self study consistently, positively and confidently.

Ans. First of all, you will get one attempt only for NEET 2024, and you have to make the most of it. Now, with almost 4 months left for NEET UG exam, you have to focus on revising the syllabus quickly. So, make a time table for your self study where you have to focus on all 3 subjects. Try to solve as many PYQ’s and take ample number of Mock tests to build your scoring and confidence.

Ans. If you wish to score 90% and above in Organic Chemistry, you should follow these guidelines:

a) Make your basic concepts related to GOC, Isomerism and Hydrocarbons very clear from any fundamental book and practice lots of questions based upon them. More the exposure of questions, more will be your confidence level. Concentrate on small basic concepts carefully and that too always in writing.

b) Now study other chapters also in similar manner.

c) Connect the topics to each other so that you can attempt problems related to sequence reactions and conversions.

d) Always compare their various physical and chemical properties in context with their values, such as acidic and basic nature with their pka and pkb values.

e) To have a long memory of concepts, keep revising them time and again.

f) Revise only those things at last minute where you got stuck earlier.

g) Always follow same book or notes till the end. Never switch to new authors and books in between.

Ans. JEE 2024 1st attempt is around the corner now with exam dates starting from 24 Jan 2024. So,we can talk about the 2nd attempt to be held in April 2024. First of all, give your best shot in the first attempt itself. Then you will know your strong and weak areas, which need to be accordingly worked upon for the second attempt. Also, if you are a XII Appearing student, you will have the Board Exams in between the two attempts. So, revise your XII St.

Ans. With 3 months left now, you must be knowing your strong and weak areas, which need to be accordingly worked upon. Also, if you are a XII Appearing student, you will also have the Board Exams before your NEET. So, first revise your XII Syllabus in such a way that it helps you for Boards as well as for NEET. After Boards you can quickly review the XI Syllabus. And keep practicing relevant MCQ’s and PYQ’s to develop speed and accuracy.

Ans. The following chapters and topics are a must do for JEE Mains:
Maths-Simultaneous Equation and Ad joint(Matrices&Det), Parabola and Lines(Area), Linear Differential equation and Number of Solutions (Functions), Greatest Integer Function(Limits), Remainder, Irrational Values, General Terms(Binomial Theorem), Conditional Theorem(Probability).

Chem-Chemical Bonding, Equilibrium, Electrochemistry, Coordination Compounds, GOC, Hyd.

Ans. First of all, you should do your best for the upcoming attempt of NEET 2024. Even though you will be already aware of your strengths and weaknesses, but after giving this year NEET, you will be able to analyse your preparation even better. Also, if you are really serious and are ready to work hard for NEET 2025 from the beginning, only then you should drop and prepare for it.

Ans. Not really. Only a few questions in JEE which are of an easy or moderate level may match the NEET Level. Otherwise, generally NEET questions are of a relatively easier level as compared to JEE Mains.

Ans. A few questions asked in JEE Mains that are relatively easy can be practiced for NEET Preparation. It is always beneficial to practice PYQ’s, because in case of increase in toughness of  questions asked in NEET, you will be able to attempt them better. There are always a few questions asked in NEET that match the toughness level of JEE Mains.

Ans. JEE is the Joint Entrance Exam for Engineering aspirants. Students who want to do Engineering take Non Medical in XI and give JEE Mains exam in XII. If they want admission in any college except IIT’s, only JEE Mains is to be given. But if a student wants to study from IIT’s, then they have to come in the top 2-2.5L students in JEE Mains merit list. Then they will be eligible to sit for JEE Advanced exam, and those who qualify JEE Advanced can study in IIT. So, JEE Mains is a exam for admission in DTU, NSIT, IIIT’s, NIT’s etc and serves as a preliminary exam for JEE Advanced.

NEET is the National Eligibility cum Entrance test for studying MBBS, BDS etc in Medical colleges all over India. The students who are desirous of studying Medicine, take Medical stream in XI, and give NEET in XII. Then they can go for MBBS, B.Pharma, BAMS, Nursing, BDS, BHMS, BUMS, Microbiology courses.

Ans. No, not really. There is negative marking in the ratio of 1:4 in JEE Mains, so it is not advisable to answer all questions without knowing the answer upto a certain extent. You can do intelligent guessing, if you are not able to reach till the final calculation or you can try to find the correct answer by eliminating the wrong ones. But random guessing is not to be done in case of negative marking.

Ans. NEET is only easy in terms of the level of questions asked in Physics and Chemistry, as compared to JEE Mains. Biology in NEET can’t be compared with Maths in JEE. Also, considering the number of seats under NEET, the admission is quite difficult as compared to admission in Engineering colleges through JEE Mains. For a General category student, admission in MBBS in a Govt. College is much difficult as compared to JEE.

Ans. Not really. The level of questions asked in JEE are of a higher level than NEET and test you upon the application part of concepts also. And since Maths is not required for NEET Exam, that part also needs to be worked upon. So, only preparing Physics and Chemistry at NEET level can’t be considered sufficient for JEE.

Ans. I feel it is too early for any kid to start preparing for Competitive exams from class 7th. According to me, class 9th is the right stage to start your preparation, when the level of study and the level of maturity goes on the next level.

Ans.

Yes, coaching is required to qualify JEE/NEET. Without coaching, it is not possible for a student to cover the vast syllabus on his/her own. Secondly, it is not possible for a student to find out the relevant material which should not only be exam oriented but also be free from errors. The Coaching institute will provide a proper framework and systematic schedule to a student’s preparation alongwith a regular testing, doubt removal and evaluation system.

Ans. Any one can be frustrated, it is not a matter of JEE or NEET Aspirant. Frustration is generally not because of any exam pressure. It is inbuilt, when we feel we are not able enough to qualify or we have a guilty feeling that we are not doing enough. Only when we do our best possible efforts and still don’t get the desired results, anyone, be it JEE or NEET Aspirant can feel frustrated.

2. Also MCQ’s save time for both the appearing candidates and the evaluator as candidates can use elimination strategy to answer an MCQ faster and can focus on other questions as they dont have to show steps. For evaluators they just have to mark the right options and not check the steps.

3. Also marking of steps may differ from evaluator to evaluator and in MCQ there is always one right option, no matter which evaluator is evaluating.
So in short, MCQ’s are better for both appearing candidates and the evaluators.

Ans. Few main reasons which may be applicable for the rise in NEET Aspirants can be:
1. Since Covid 19, there is a boom in the health industry opening up various paths for aspirants in terms of career in the Medical Industry.
2. There has been a 10 % increase in the number of seats for the applicants, hence increasing the chances of clearing the exam.
3. JEE is being conducted twice a year so if an applicant does not make it in the first attempt , they can appear in the second attempt to better their chances. Hence there are few dropper students as compared to NEET, as it happens once a year only.
