The New IIT-JEE Pattern!

After a heated debate over the pattern of IIT-JEE, this week the pattern was changed following the orders of India's Human Resource Development minister Kapil Sibal. Under the proposed new format, a ranking list will be prepared based on Class XII results with 40 per cent weightage to normalised marks, 30 per cent to main test and 30 per cent to the advanced test (For NIIT's only).  Many of the IIT directors have discussed the details for the Advance test.  Lot of IIT senators were not happy with the decision. 

According to the new format proposed, there will be two exams on the same day namely the Main Test and the Advanced test. All the students will appear for both the exams. In the first test which will be AIEEE level  , 40% weightage will be given to the student's 12TH board result. Out of all the students writing the Advanced Test,  only 50,000 student's copies will be checked based upon there performance in the Main Test. Once you have cracked the Main test, the Advanced Test will be totally independent of all other criteria. Out of the selected 50,000 students writing the Advanced Test, the IIT's will give ranks to the top 10,000 students. 


This new pattern now puts more pressure on the students during their 12TH CLASS because they will have a huge syllabus to cover and will  have to not only prepare for competitions but also for their 12TH board examination. So you have two choices to do something about this...  either you study the 10TH  and 11TH portions thoroughly so that you don't have to come back on it while preparing for competitions or you rebel against Kapil Sibal, which a lot of people are already doing.


BUT DON'T FORGET THAT THIS NEW PATTERN MAKES YOUR 11TH CLASS A GOLDEN PERIOD WHICH YOU MUST UTILIZE.

In My School @DPS Bangalore East

 Whatever you read happens in reality. Whatever you discover is true. 
Firstly, I would like to make you aware of the students. There are certain postulates made by me which hold good only for the students of DPS*. 

1. If you are good at soccer, then you will be very very popular and if you are not, then you will be called a geek automatically even if you get 4 CGPA.
 2. If you have a lot of Apple Products, then you will be called the coolest guy in the school even if you haven't used 'yo' in your whole lifetime.
 3. If you can sing (rock) and dance (break) then you will transform into a 100,000,000,000 volts extremely powerful electromagnet for girls.
 4. If you want to have a lot of friends in the school, then make sure that you have a lot of money in your wallet.
 5. If you are not good at studies, then you will become an archery target for our coordinators.
 6. Last but not the least, never make eye contact with the teachers when they are asking questions or else they will ask you the proof for the Theory Of Relativity.

 Now, the following postulates which hold good for the teachers. 

1. If you want to be everyone's favorite teacher then you should learn to give P.T  and Free periods.
2. If you want to be hated by every single kid in the school then take the P.T and free classes for teaching.(inverse of 1st postulate).
3. Never underestimate the amount of work which can be given to you by our coordinators.
 4. Never scold the gang leader (if you succeed in finding who it is) otherwise, behind your back the gang members will dedicate very nice nice words to you.


 These postulates were written after three years of extensive observations and research. If this is violating any law made by you or the school, please write to me ( hinishantsingh@gmail.com ). Make sure that you suggest some more postulates and publicize this paper to all DPS students. Cheers!!

Rain Which Spoiled Everything

1:45 P.M, 14 October 2010

Sky in Bangalore looks fine. No sign of rain, clouds- moderate, humidity negligible and temperature pleasant. After reading these two lines everyone will think that I am going to elaborate the pleasant weather in Bangalore but who knows that I will be leading you to the worst rainfall recorded in Bangalore(230mm).

5 Mins Later

Clouds became black and the weather started showing symptoms of rain. Drizzling begins and the weather gets windy. It starts raining, people rush to their balconies to remove the clothes and children playing downstairs start looking for shelter below trees and slides. Water coming from the rooftops looked like mini waterfalls. Due to the humongous force of water, small streams of water were formed on the bare ground next to my appartment. On the road - pedestrians coming from shops and buildings used polybags to protect themselves from the heavy rains.

Impact

All the plants in my sight were destroyed by the rain. Probably all the crops grown in the area might have got spoiled by the excessive rainfall. The biggest impact was the ruined houses which lay on mud and the people living in might have suffered a lot. The rain has caused a lot of trouble for many and good for some dying for water.

English - The Global Langauge

In a country like India people speak over 20 languages. It is very difficult to be fluent in all the languages. People have to choose a language which will be known and fluent to all. Not only in India but in many other countries this is the problem.

Living in a metropolis city I myself experience the significance of English in our everyday lives. From a peon to a chairmen almost everyone uses English to communicate though some of them might not be so fluent in the language. Your command over English signifies your vocabulary of English (obvious), your concentration level and your thinking abilities. Many countries like U.S.A, England, Australia etc have chosen English as their national language . Over the years English has spread all over the world, more and more people are becoming fluent in this language and the significance of English is increasing day by day. Many people in India wish to become fluent in English and use many ways to do so , some of them are following :-

1. Joining English speaking classes.
2. Talking in English to their children and family members.
3. Writing articles and essays for a good vocabulary.
4. Learning new words in English everyday.

Have you ever noticed that when you leave your house for school/office/ for doing shopping and till you come back you mostly communicate with teachers and friends, employers and shopkeepers respectively in English (This statement is only applied for developed cities or countries). Thus English can be recognized as the Global Language.

RoboKill - A Game Review

I play games to entertain myself. I discovered RoboKill when I went to my friends house to return his notebook and saw him playing RoboKill on miniclip.com. I asked him about the game and he enthusiastically replied that it is a very adventurous and violent game. He knew that I liked violent games and asked me to try it out.

Robokill is about a Robot which has been sent from a starship to a battle station controlled by droids or enemy robots. The commander of the star ship has ordered the Robot to destroy all the communication centers of the battle ship. The Robot is loaded with lot many shields and destructive weapons. The battle ship has been divided into many rooms. Some of the rooms have teleport machine which can take the robot to any other room. Destroyers are your biggest enemies, they are loaded with shields and guard the headquarters of the battleship. If you beat them then you get their shields. Some of the droids are reproductive which keep on giving droids out of them. There is a inventory, a map of the battle ship and a shop to buy new weapons for your robot.

The ship has been overrun by hostile robots and you are their only hope! Eliminate the enemies; remember to upgrade your weapons and armor.
