TIPS FOR STUDENTS TO EXCEL IN FORTHCOMING EXAMS

Every student wants to excel in his /her exams with fine grades. Here are some tips to keep in mind to achieve the aims.

·        Students must keep their target high. The higher the target, the higher the confidence and the higher the hard work.

·        Your target should be subject specific. For example in Maths, you should target specific grade such as A1 or A2 and also target a mark to keep such as 90 out of 90 or 88 out of 90.

·        Then, in each subject find out your strength and weaknesses. For example in Social Sc, my strengths are Geography and Civics and my weaknesses are History and Economics.

·        Try to convert your weaknesses in every subject into strength by hard work and regular writing practice.

·        Mind it, your hard work has no substitute. To do hard work you must have a time table for every day.

·        Proper scientific revision according to question pattern of the subject is important daily in every subject.

·        Be confident and calm to appear in the examination.

·        Plan out your work and then work out your plan. Planning is the half done of your preparation.

·        In writing papers, your presentation in the paper is more important than what are you writing.

·        Write with good handwriting, giving space after every answer, underlining main points and giving question numbers boldly before the margin.

·        Time management is very important in completing a paper. Keep 10 minutes in your hand for revising your answer in the papers so that you can save as many as 3-5 marks.

·        Be God loving and relax yourself by prayer and meditation daily which can give you energy to do hard work.

REQUEST TO CBSE FOR EARLY DECLARATION OF CTET JULY 2013 EXAM.

After waiting for two years Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan has published the date of applying online for the post of PGTs, TGTs and PRTs. Its last date to apply online  is 28^th August 2013.

Thousands of candidates whose CTET July 2013 result is going to be declared on 3^rd September 2013 cannot apply for these posts of K.V.S as they don’t know their results.

Even those who are in doubt of passing or failing and coming forward to apply, they have to pay Rs 750/- which is too much to pay.

Government should deeply think about this matter. Thanks to the govt. to increase the time period of CTET examination from 90 mins to 150 mins. This time at least 50% teachers will qualify in comparison to last exam where news paper published the pass percentage as only 6.

The compulsory criterion to have CTET  qualification in applying for the Central Government jobs like Kendriya Vidyalaya is good. But, where is the justice if the result of CTET will be declared after the deadline of applying for Kendriya Vidyalaya Recruitment???

Our request to the CBSE is to declare CTET exam result at least 10 days earlier to the last date(28^th August 2013) of applying for various posts in Kendriya Vidyalaya so that millions of teachers who will qualify in it can get time to apply for K.V.S.

WHY THIS DISCRIMINATION THROUGH CTET and KVS?

CTET, just an examination started with the credit that our country’s 95% of teachers are not eligible to be teachers in real as they have not cleared CTET.

Why to clear CTET? When we have already cleared B.Ed with practical activity and one-two years of rigorous classes and preparations. What is this value, after becoming the teacher to qualify another examination preparing at home and paying for it Rs 500 or more. Was it justice to show and publish the incapability of not qualifying in a written test which was designed time wise more tougher than IAS prelims.

O.K, now  the authority realised the actual fault in the system of examination. Instead of abolishing it made a rule of increased time up to 2 hr and 30 minutes instead of 1 hr 30 minutes. But, what for this exam? CBSE answered – this is for the minimum aligibility for the teacher’s appointment in govt. Sector like KVS and NVS and so on. Private schools may take it as essential but not compulsory.

After long waiting for 3 years KVS advertisement came. I became very happy to apply for TGT post as I have qualified CTET. But as I noticed my age crossed as per requirement of 35. My age just crossed 1 month more than 35 as required. So my CTET qualification got meaningless and valueless award.

Why PGTs are free from that exam? Are they not teachers? Are they not under the perview of education? Are they not dealing with the students? CTET must include the three types of teachers PRT, TGT and PGT. 

If Kendriya Vidyalaya is under HRD ministry, under Indian constitution rule, all teachers are same in getting a job in KVS. Why there is no age bar for KVS teachers in applying in TGT and PGT in KVS. If all are equal why govt. Servant’s age bar extends upto 5- 10 years in applying for KVS?

All these discriminations must be taken in to account carefully by the government. As a citizen we should think appropriately about the necessity of such an examination.
