What is most important for cracking a tough entrance exam?

You are right, hard work and study. But these are just two parameters that play only a 70% role in the success. 

Then what about the rest, 30%? Maybe some magic or luck. 

Do you ever thought about or re-visit the movie "Super 30"? 

They were good students, so only they got selected as 30 students, but then what happened?

Remember, in coaching institutes, the majority of the batches they just teach, and a few which they identified as core batches, they teach plus they coach. That's what happened in Super 30. 

Right teaching will provide you with knowledge, but the right coaching will help you understand how to apply that knowledge. Most institutes today named them as coaching institutes but they are not in the real sense and hence students become the sufferer. 

Even if you are studying in any big institute, it doesn't matter. Don't go for big hoardings or banners about their success. Those will not work for you. Don't completely rely on them.

You need to frame your strategy considering your strengths and weaknesses. 

Today, SUCCESS = SMART STUDY + RIGHT STRATEGY +  CORRECT PLANNING USING TIMELINE

Also, remember, REVISION is the key to success. Whether you are a bright student or weak, it doesn't matter. Our internal brain, neurons, and retrieval methods work similarly for all of us. 

Whether we realize it or not, every 48 to 72 hours, if we do not revise, we forget a good percentage of what we saw or heard.

Research on the forgetting curve shows that people will have forgotten an average of 50 percent of the information you presented within one hour. Within 24 hours, they have forgotten an average of 70 percent of new information, and within a week, forgetting claims an average of 90 percent of it. Every 7th day, try to revise formulas, definitions, do some random questions, etc.

So if you are planning to appear for any entrance exam and want to crack it, as the first step, make a well-formed plan and associate a timeline and strategy to it. Then start and remember consistency and resilience are the protective covering for your effort and dream. So the second step is to be consistent and resilient. And the third step is always to stay positive and keep yourself motivated. 

Always remember five things,

• It doesn't matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.

• The best way to predict your future is to create it.

• Nothing is tough if you divide it into small jobs.

• The most significant barrier to success is the fear of failure.

• People do not lack strength. They lack will.

AI Is Changing the Job Market — But Who’s Preparing Our Students for It?

-
The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries at a pace never seen before. From automating routine tasks to generating content and making complex decisions, AI is not just changing how we work; it’s reshaping what work means. Yet, amid this disruption, a critical question looms large: Are we preparing our students for the world AI is creating? Unfortunately, the answer is: not enough. Like many other countries, India still relies heavily on an education system built around rote learning, traditional career paths, and a linear approach to success — get good grades, choose a “safe” degree, land a job, and settle. But that model is no longer sustainable in a world where AI is making certain roles obsolete and giving rise to entirely new ones. Many students today are confused, anxious, and overwhelmed. They're pushed toward careers that may not exist in five years or are unaware of emerging fields like AI ethics, data storytelling, human-AI collaborat...

AI Is the New Interviewer: Why Continuous Learning Is Your Survival Tool

-
  In today's fast-changing professional world, one thing is becoming clear: AI is no longer just a tool, it’s the new interviewer. The rules of employment have changed. Artificial intelligence silently assesses your relevance, whether you're starting or already in a leadership position. And the only way to stay ahead is to stay prepared. With AI tools increasingly integrated into recruitment, project management, content creation, finance, healthcare, and nearly every primary industry, a growing sense of fear and uncertainty is palpable. Everyone asks: “Should we be worried about AI taking over jobs?” The honest answer is: Yes—and no. Yes, There Is Reason to Be Concerned AI is undoubtedly transforming the job landscape. It’s not just replacing people, it’s obsoleting jobs . That may sound ominous, but let’s understand what it really means. When we say AI is “obsoleting” a job, we don’t mean it’s replacing every human worker with a robot. Rather, it’s changing the nat...
