I cracked IIT-JEE twice.In 1983, I wrote JEE during my class XII and got 1331 rank. I got Mechanical Engineering (ME) in IIT-BHU (Then IT-BHU) Varanasi.In 1984, I wrote JEE just after two days of second semester examination of B Tech and got 541 rank. I got admitted to ME in IIT-KGP. I did not change the institute.I never joined any coaching for IIT-JEE and only studied for Intermediate (Class XI and XII) of UP Board.I studied in Government Jublie Inter College (GJIC) Lucknow in Hindi Medium.No one was expecting in my family that I would clear IIT because no one from even my extended family ever passed class X examination in his first attempt.GJIC also did not have any track record of admission into an IIT and no one even expected us to.I, however, never found IIT-JEE questions difficult and I was reasonably confident of clearing it.I prepared for Board’s examination till the first week of April, so I had just 21 days to prepare for IIT-JEE.I purchased Arun’s Guide (book) for IIT entrance examination and wrote my examination solely on the basis of this preparation.However, I cleared IIT-JEE in the first attempt, though I was not happy with the rank.This was the reason why I wrote IIT-JEE again in 1984 and got a much better rank: 541.Please don’t follow me as I was a novice and no one from my family have even heard the name of IIT.I committed following mistakes while preparing for IIT:I did not join a coaching. I should have joined at least a postal coaching and covered the syllabus.The syllabus of UP Board and IIT was different from UP Board due to which I could not attempt many questions. I got 14 rank in UP in the MNR (Now UPTU) because their syllabus was relatively easy.I studied in a Hindi medium school. Please study in English medium, if you can afford to.Though I still got selected in IIT, it was due to following reasons:I loved mathematics and physics subjects.Physics was my favorite subject as I could understand various phenomenon of this physical world by deeper understanding of physics.I used to love (I still love) solving the problems for several hours.I worked really hard. I used to study 10-12 hours a day. I usually got up at 5 AM and studied till 10 PM taking gaps between every few hours.I focused on understanding the fundamentals rather than remembering formulas and practising same problems over and over to score good marks in the Boards.I studied Chemistry at the end, as it required lot of memorisation and I did not actually like it.I did not focus on getting good marks in other papers (I got 54 and 55 marks in Hindi and English respectively in the Boards)I used to chase good teachers in my schools after the classes and take their help in solving complex problems.I had good circle of friends who were all dedicated to studies. We used to solve many problems by discussions and mutual consultation. The result was mutually beneficial as in that year (1983), 7 students from GJIC got into IIT.Please focus on your fundamentals, get good guidance, work hard; and you can crack IIT JEE (Advance) of your own.Wish you all the best.Register at AWDHESH ACADEMY for online courses on Maths, Physics, Civil Services in Hindi and English.

Here are some tips that will help you to make an informative decision on how you should take your bike on train (or not).Its purely based on my recent experience. Pictures of forms and my bike being packed are at the end of the answer. (Sent my bike on 25Nov2017)Pre-requisites:In order to take the bike, you must have:Documents- Carry bike RC & Insurance paperYour ID Card- Aadhar card, Driving License, Passport, etc. (Any one)There are two ways to take the bike:As a LuggageAs a ParcelNOTE: Costing of luggage is 25% more than that of parcel.i.e. if parcel of bike costs you 1000 then same will cost 1250 if sent as luggage.Both these methods are explained in detail below-As a Luggage:In this method, you can take your bike as your luggage in the parcel van of the train. You need a confirm reserved ticket for this.Just reach the railway station 3–4 hours before the departure of the train. Go to the Parcel office to pay for the extra luggage (motorcycle).Get the ticket for your bike and delivery challan (slip) which you will be required to show while collecting the bike at the destination station.Make sure you keep the delivery slip properly. Because if you loose it you might have to go a very long procedure to get your bike! (Court affidavits etc). This may be even a bigger problem if the bike is not under your nameAverage Cost:Upto 500 kms = 1200 rsUPto 1000 kms = 1700 rsUpto 2000 kms = 3000 rsBenefits of this method:Quickest way to travel with the bike!Bike travels in same train as yours. You can check how its kept in the parcel van. You can keep a check on packing quality of the bike.You get the bike as soon as you de-board at the destination! So you don't have to make additional visits to the railway station!Perfect for travelers who are going on a vacation for few days or just a couple of weeks! You get the bike as soon as you get down at your destination and save money on public transport! :)Cons of this method:Cost: Bit expensive as compared to parcel method (discussed below)Managing the whole thing:You have to take the headache of unload the bike from parcel van if your destination station is not the last stoppage of the train.Yes, many a times the railway porters may miss to unload because of any reason (short stoppage time of the train etc). This may create a lot of trouble for you as if missed the bike will go to the last station of the train and then come back after a few days.Other tips:This method is very good and appropriate for short term trips!Try to book ticket in a train where your destination station is the last stop of the train. This way it will be easier for you to getting the bike unload without any hassles and hurries!2. As a ParcelThe parcel method is like sending a snail mail.Features and how it works:Take the bike to the parcel office (most important major railway station have it) during the working hours and register the parcel. Make sure you go for booking at least a 2–3 days in advance so that you don’t have to wait for it for next couple of days. Take the delivery challan slip.The bike will be sent in any train to the destination station and will reach in around 4-5 days or earlier depending upon the distance.Average Cost:500 kms : 700 rs1000 kms : 1200 rs25% less than luggage costing.Packing charges and types:Packing is one of the most crucial part. Mostly, people just tie a plastic bag to do a formality. But trust me you are definitely going to regret later of you don't get it done properly.Packing can be done by agents nearby parcel office, they charge you from 300/- to 1000/-To be specific :Basic packing- They wrap handle of the bike using a plastic bag and sack cloth (bora or bori). Its cheapest and useless. You can just do it yourselves too. (Goes for 200-300/-)Medium packing - They wrap up multiple layer of cardboard box to the handle and front which ensures no damage to headlights indicators and handle too. Along with that they will wrap up all the body parts which are exposed, except tyres only. Along with that they will wrap up the vehicle from below too and stitch it. Its best for medium ranged bikes like Splender, Passion the one with less fibre parts. (Goes for 600-800/-)Maximum secure packing- They wrap up all body parts, using cardboard box layers followed by plastic bags along with sack cloth. Almost each and every part will be covered head to toe with multiple layers. Also some use dry grass or bottles which acts as shock absorbers. Its the best and is more than sufficient for sports bikes too. (Goes for roughly 800–1000/-)FAQsCan I take bike which is not in my name?Yes, of course you can! You just need the original papers of the bike to carry along with you! Just to avoid any problems you can get letter of authority from the ownerDo I have to pay bribes to get the bike on/off the train?Hard to say, in most cases without bribe would be fine! In some cases the porters may ask you for an extra tip and if given give more care to your vehicle. It is just a bad practice followed. Try to stay firm and polite if they ask for any such requests.Will my bike be damaged?Little bit here and there! Possible! May or may not have any scratches at all!If your bike is shining new with very fragile parts then it would be very vulnerable to getting damaged because the parcel van is filled with small/big parcels of different sizes and type.Also depends upon the care by the porters while loading it in the train. So make sure you get it well packaged and stand when they are loading the bike in your train.How long can I keep bike at station?For parcel there is 6 hours of time window to collect after that they will charge penalty of 10/-per hour. Office closes at 5pm, collect it by 5pm if train arrives before 5pm.Can I keep fuel in tank?Strictly no. If fuel is found in any case you will be penalised 1000/- by the officer at receiving end. Get fuel arranged on destination station and fill later.What if I don't receive my bike at the station?Most probably your destination isn't the last stop of the train. In such cases when your destination is on mid way depending on the quantity and time there are chances your bike would be left untouched. Its your sole responsibility to get you bike from the goods wagon, person responsible will be present there along with labours. In case, you missed the bike it will be delivered when train returns on same route.Edit1: I am adding snaps of the forms I filled while handing over the bike at Jaipur Junction and while receiving it at Lucknow Junction.Forwarding Note for General Merchandise (look for the value of the bike mentioned in right near my thumb, 1% of it is charged in the bill)2. Parcel Way Bill / Luggage Ticket (look for the Train number and time mentioned using blue ink at the top)3. Form for Entry for GST Manual Transaction of Receipt4. Gate Pass (penalty for delay is mentioned in it- see the marked circle that is penalty for 20hours @Rs10/hr)Now some snaps of bike unpacked and packed:Pulsar 200NS (My bike)2. Near Parcel office Jaipur JunctionAfter bargaining I paid them 800 in total including 50 for the rectangular small plate hanging in front of my bike which contains details.Don't trust the people out there when it comes to loading and unloading. Its total mess, they will dump the vehicle carelessly so get it done yourself. The packing I got done is the best possible and not even a single scratch was there after I received it. In my opinion, go for Luggage booking and get it packed properly and then if you want to send even a high rev bike its going to be fine.If you have any questions feel free to comment, I hope I mentioned almost everything in here. It will be of great help for the ones planning to do so.Edit 2: Thanks for upvotes and 32k views its motivating. Sorry for the delayed answers for your questions in the comment.GUYS ITS MY REQUEST PLEASE DON’T SUPPORT THE RAILWAY STAFF WHO ASK FOR BRIBE AND STAY FIRM AND POLITE TO GET THE JOB DONE.ITS WE WHO ADDICT THEM TO BRIBE AND AS A RESULT THEY THINK EVERYBODY WILL HAVE TO PAY THEM AND TAKE IT FOR GRANTED. ONE STEP OF YOURS WILL AMPLIFY WITH TIME AND I BELIEVE IT WILL IMPROVE THE SYSTEM IN AND OUT EVENTUALLY.Hit UPVOTE if you found it useful! ;)

It’s a cheating story I experienced:Before getting in to job, initially I searched for Home Based Online Work around my locality. I received a queue of ads displayed with handsome income packages.The one ad which my eye attracted most was;A great work from home opportunities for students/workers/house-wife - part time/full timeJob designation : DEVELOPMENT OFFICERThings Required: Laptop and Internet connectionQualification: B.E/M.E/Freshers/BCA/MCA/Any DegreeIncome range:Full-time: 18 - 20,000Part-time: 12,000Sundays: 8,000Contact person: xxxxxI immediately note down the number and made a call to the concern person….The conversation is as follows;Me: Hello, this is varsha, I saw your ad, how to proceed further?xxx: Oh, okay. Tell me about your educational qualification.Me: I’m from engineering backgroundxxx: Are you working?Me: No, I’m a home makerxxx: Ok, come to our office for the meeting along with your bio-data, the team will provide you training and you can start to work. I’ll send the address detailsMe: Ok, do I need to pay anything for the training?xxx: Nothing required. Just you need to pay only the registration fee of Rs.50Me: Ya, thank youAfter 2 days, I reached the spot with my husband. The team members received us and told to register my name, the person’s name and mobile number whom I contacted. I entered those details and enter into the meeting hall.It’s a wide hall. I sat along with 20 members. The members are also like me who came to attend the training.There is one fat man holding the mike (He is the head of the company) talked about life-style, daily expenses, grocery price hikes, inflation etc etc.Then 5 members came one by one. Those people share their experiences by working as a DEVELOPMENT OFFICER.They gave assurance and said, “ Like us you too can earn a decent income in a short time”. This job changed our life-styles, so be ready to your turn. (The persons who shared their experiences mostly struggled to speak in English)After 1 hour speech, the audiences are seperated and allotted by a head in each group.I was appointed to get trained by one guy.He looks so younger and he is a diploma graduate.I interestingly get ready to listen to his lecture.He started with giving motivational speech like:What is you ambition, your goal?How much money you need to achieve your goal?How can you achieve if you worked for a monthly salary?How many years it takes to earn money to achieve your goal?He brain washed me for 1 hour, but yet he didn’t explained what is the actual work I need to do.He concluded, we will explain the entire work process once you pay Rs.3500. The money we charge is for your separate domain ID and user registration. Also, we will gift you electric cooker form our service scheme option and its - TOTALLY FREEI pay advance of Rs. 100 and registered. After 3 days I went back to pay the remaining fee.At last, the climax scene;Me: What is my work?Guy: We will give you 10 website name. Please note downMe: NotedGuy: Ok, first you need to have a separate SIM card for official use. Then create at least 10 different email account.Me: Ok, Then?Guy: After that, we will give you content with 10 different topics based on Home-base work. Just you need to copy and paste the ad in the mentioned website. Give your contact details. If someone calls, note down their name, mobile number, date of calling. Then ask details about them, after that - ask them to attend the meeting. If anyone ask what kind of work to you, don’t inform the work, just tell them to attend the training, and insist them, all details will be explained on the training.Me: Is this the job I want to do?Guy: Yes!Then I went to home with a ;ELECTRIC RICE COOKER - It is a poor quality rice cooker and it’s their business trick to sell the product.The guy once explained the work to me, I feel myself shamed, how fool I’m, how dare I’m to pay the money without any guarantee form their words.Is this the work I need to do for attaining M.E degree? - That is the most embarrassing moment yet I felt in my life!But, now I’m working and earning a decent income.So, folks! Don’t get cheated by colorful job ads. It’s a trap to catch you.Like a two-sided of a coin. There are genuine ads and fake adsWe should act smartly and wisely.
