IIT JEE Preparation is making you dumb.

Clarification : The Field's medal is given out once every 4 years and recipients must be under the age of 40 in order to be eligible for the award

in depth knowledge of concepts is CRUCIAL but IIT wants engineers not mathematicians, someone who can solve problems in an efficient and time saving way

When I was in Class 7, 8, 9, 10 and also 11 I was to think the simplest things very critically and Also Intentionally I used to force my mind to think things in very different ways and also whenever I saw Some practical phenomenon I used to corelate those things with my study but on my class 12, I lost this ability Because of fast course completion tendency and also I had backlog of 11 . Every time My mind is like "Bhai time nahi hain faltu sochne main kisi din aur time hoga tho sochenge"
At class 12 I needed to do this deep thinking more than ever but I didn't!

IIT dur ki baat, I could not even crack NIT. I am a very slow student, and that preparation for Jee, killed me from inside. I was fascinated by the idea to create things and I thought that IIT is the only place for that. Now, I am in my 3rd year of B-tech CSE, from a state govt engineering college. Things have changed now for me, I thought, what do I love? what is the thing that makes me forget about everything?
I am on my journey to find these answers, I got so many things to learn and accomplished so many things, (which I thing is good for a 21 year old), that I came to realise that this is what matters at the end.
Yes, I don't have a clear future ahead.
Yes, I don't know if can support my family well like those IITians.
But one thing is clear, and that is I am doing what I like, what I love, yeah, there is depression, there is lack of knowledge, and obviously there is lack of great people around me. But, whatever is the case, I am learning, I am moving ahead, and every year, I become upgraded from my previous-year-self.
THIS IS WHAT MATTERS.


A note for those who read this far : I don't know if you are from a prestigious engineering college or not, but trust me, you are doing very good. Trust yourself.

There is a story for you : I have a senior, when he was in 3rd year, he started his company, One day he announced that his company is hiring.
There were almost over 1k applicants, and the funny part 80-90% of them were IITians. I was shocked when I saw his face. That day, I still remember, he became emotional and told me one thing, "I am a student of a low tier state govt engineering college, who is hiring students from IIT"
And he did !!

I can totally relate with this.
In my coaching my teachers and other students say that I am very slow and dumb. I can't answer anything quickly. But I like to study everything deeply and go to concept's origin. But they can't understand 😢

[amanrazthakur]

Thanks bhaiya for this, , Literally I just cried
Because yesterday only in my coaching some student just laughed on me as i was just stuck on the formula of thermal expansion.. 😢😢,
Its so much relatable for me i was also feeling down from yesterday, but now I know why was I doing that! Thanku so much!

[sumedh]

Before jee I myself found the theory and law of conservation of energy in my 2nd grade used to create theories of my own for every physical situation in front of me. But last 6 months I didn't spend time on my love for physics. But I will definitely do it from now. Thankyou so much bhaiya.😊😊

I cleared JEE Adv this year (2023), and i can fully relate this. I was passionate in physics. I used to take about 5-10mins solving a basic physics problem (not in exam, while Practicing and understanding concepts) which would take less than a minute but i kind of go in flash back and "feel" all those formulas i used to solve the question, while my studymates solved quickly and moved on..

[abhimanyukarkara]

Good to see younger generation understanding the importance of gaining knowledge but not getting into a college or getting a job

[zoro]

I can relate to June Wuh very much, I always try to understand the concepts and reasoning behind questions and formulas but life is so messed up that I need to just apply formulas for exam and I just HATE it, I am thinking about taking a drop(It is going to be a drag to convince my father about that) because I want to properly enjoy studying rather than just get into some random IIT NIT or any other college with any random rank in JEE

[wdeep]

I am giving my 10th board exams right now and soon after i enter 11 i will try my best to understand each and every concept very deeply. Thanks bhaiya for guiding us❤🌹

FIELD'S MEDAL IS THE MOST PRESTIGOUS MEDAL IN THE FIELD MATHEMATICS BECAUSE THERE IS NO NOBLE PRIZE FOR MATHS. THE LAST INDIAN TO WIN FIELDS MEDAL WAS IN 2018, AND INDIA HAS A BEAUTIFUL TRACK RECORD IN FIELDS MEDAL.

[arnavgupta]

Yes bhaiyya I can relate with it. In my class 10th (in lockdown) I became a type of guy who was passionate in theoretical physics.I took much more time to understand even a simpler problem even in the concepts which i hve already understood(even in sst also), imagining it in very detail. But due to lack of efficient time management and lack of question solving i couldnt cleared even ntse level1.
But the passion towards physics remained same till 11th starting.
Investing time in more theory and lack of question practice resulted in less marks in mocks which ultimately resulted in less confidence. But even now if i get an opportunity to get into research I will be very glad and again work hard to build much stronger research attitude and bond with science.. ❤️

[seminentoautrojento]

Reminds me of Bruce Lee's quote : "I do not fear a man who has practised a thousand kicks one time, I fear a man who has practised one kick a thousand times"

So it's about the DEPTH and proficiency we get by focusing entirely on one single thing, and that's how we master it.

Indeed an excellent paragraph. 👏

Youngest field medalist is Jean Pierre Serre. BTW, You might have also heard of Terrence Tao, who won the International Math Olympiad at Age 10.

[dudeya]

I can really relate to this
Especially when I was in 12 th standard .I also was very slow because I always used fundamental rather than a formula or so called "trick" . But, eventually I had to let go of this habit because I was too "slow " to solve jee exam!

[vihaanbansal]

Yes, I think I can relate with this, I am very passionate about physics, for eg, sometimes while doing problem, I get lost in it and start visualising myself throwing a projectile or rotating a body or some other ways I can add to the situation given in the problem. I think this is the factor that helps me to do most physics pyqs easily. I try to revise my notes many times to to gain a deeper understanding of simpler concepts

[surendra]

Iam currently in the starting phase of 12th and I feel much passionate about Physics I'm currently having fun doing it very good video bhaiya ☺️

[NormalKid]

Why even after studying 12+ Hrs some don't get selected?
It's very Scary

[ranvijaykumar]

Yes it's true, when we understood the exactly meaning of topics we are able to see the whole picture of that topic, we can easily play with it, even basic things have another level of understanding.❤
We are able to connect all points which build the interest on subjects❤❤
