Get set for you MBA Entrance Exams!

Get set for you MBA Entrance Exams!

The MBA entrance exam season is on the brink of getting started. A number of candidates will be fine-tuning their preparation right now, whilst there will be others who would be struggling to kick the inertia out of their systems and start their preparation. Those who fall in the latter group, should not let the lazy voice within tell you: “Be practical, it’s too late”.  Run away from those who spread negativity. You may come across people who may say, “I’m preparing for the last one year and it’s not working for me” or “These exams are really difficult to crack, it’s not our cup of tea”. Remember these are the people who don’t plan realistically or have laid back attitudes.

The basic syllabus for these exams is roughly the same as Mathematics and English taught in the class VII-X. So, ideally , if your fundamentals are in place then it should take roughly 250 hours of preparation which means just 5 hours for 50 days or 3 hours for some 85 odd days i.e. max 3 months. However, you need to be very focused in these 3 months and practice religiously. Also, you need not run after solving more and more questions, instead focus on solving different varieties of questions and remember the method used to solve these questions. There is a need to master the art of solving questions using shortcut techniques.

Having said that, a valid and essential question is: How to plan these exams? To begin with, preparation time should be divided into 2 phases.

In Indian culture, teachers are considered as god, as they play a significant role in developing the future of India and to assure that we quote- “acharya devo bhava”. Teaching, the profession that is considered above all, as it builds other professions.

Teacher’s Day- A Special Thanks to My Teachers

Teacher’s Day- A Special Thanks to My Teachers

In the hustle and bustle of life, teachers forget the impact that they leave on our personality. They keep on giving their best, without skipping any moment, to help us and to guide us. Their teaching remains with us for our entire life and helps us to grow and progress consistently. After completing our education, we hardly get a chance to show our respect towards their efforts. So, teacher’s day is the best occasion to let them know how much they mean to us.

Here, I would like to thank my all teachers who have strived hard to make us better people by guiding us, by empowering us with the best knowledge, so that we can move ahead in life and by making us aware about what’s good and what’s bad.

Thank you to all our teachers. Parents bring the child to this vast and intricate world, but you are the ones who shape us, mould us to become a human being with tons of strength and capability so that we can stand high in all our ups and downs of life.

No matter which field we choose, what we aspire to be, your guidance will always be with us and will help in achieving our goals. Words are not enough to elaborate your efforts.

For students, including me, you are an Inspiration, Empowering, Engaging and much more. As an educator, it may be your profession to enhance my knowledge in academics. However, you have always appreciated my uniqueness and strengths instead of considering me just a knowledge gainer and student. You develop an environment where we as students share our contribution but always appreciated our little efforts. You are much more than just teachers. Hence, I would like to thank you from the core on my heart.

World Teachers’ Day – Who Was Your Most Inspiring Teacher?

World Teachers’ Day – Who Was Your Most Inspiring Teacher?

Since 1994, World Teacher’s Day is celebrated on 5th October, every year. The purpose of celebrating this day is to support teachers and to ensure that they will continue to meet the requirements of the future generation. As per UNESCO, World Teachers’ Day signifies a noteworthy token of the understanding, awareness, and appreciation displayed for the crucial contributions of teachers in the field of development and education.

After parents, teachers are the one who shape your personality and teach you all good and bad of life. No matter where you are from, what qualities you have; they never discriminate their students and bestow them with equal knowledge so that students will climb the ladder of success effortlessly. I truly believe that the influence of a good teacher can never be erased. What I am today is because of my teachers who have worked hard to guide me.

I am an introvert by nature. Interacting with fellow students and making friends was never my hobby. I like to observe things first before giving any reaction to them. You can imagine how difficult it was for me to get queries resolved. I remembered clearly, there were only one or two occasions when I actually managed to get up and ask for an answer to my problem. I was scared to face the world. I aspired to give at least one stage performance, but my stage fear never lets me do the same.

While I was struggling hard in 6th standard, a new class teacher was appointed for our section.

At the first meeting, she appeared as any other teacher. With time, her patience, her kindness, her incredible skills to make the things easy to understand and learn, attracted me towards her. I have never enjoyed learning as much I did in her class.

I can still remember her face and name. Her name: Malini Das. She taught us English. Though I was not good at English, her presence and teaching skills got me hooked to her class.

I remember, one of those precious moments, when I learned a lesson of life. She called me to the staff room and asked to enter my name in a group song performance. I was excited inside but I was too conscious about what people thought of me. Will I be able to perform well? And there was the stage fear. The decision was too hard for me to take.

The Benefits of Flipped Classrooms

The Benefits of Flipped Classrooms

The concept of flipped classrooms is being introduced in the current education system in order to enhance the productivity of students. The term may seem new, but in reality, the concept is not. If you remember, in your childhood days, teachers always suggested reading the chapter before coming for the next day lecture.

Considering the same ideology, in the flipped classrooms students have to view the short video lectures, posted by the teachers before attending the actual classes. And the class time is utilized to solve the queries, practice the hardest concept and more.

There are several benefits of the concept, however, we have mentioned five benefits of flip classes.  

 Benefits of Flipped Classroom

1.    Better Understanding

In a flipped classroom, students understand the concept more clearly and precisely as they do not have to just read the topic.

In regular classes, students first read the topic and then implement it. There may be the chances that the complete concept won’t complete in one go that creates the discontinuity in study pattern. Hence, lead to low productivity. Going through the concept before the class through short video lectures helps students to view it as many times they can.

2.    Promotes Student-Centred Learning

Flipped classrooms allow class time be used to master skills through collaborative projects and discussions. With the teacher’s guidance, this method motivates students to learn and teach the concepts from each other. This will help students to own the knowledge they attain which in response enhance confidence. Moreover, students can have one-on-one interaction with the teachers who make you aware of the mistakes in concept application.
