Is MENIIT Foundation Course good for class 9th and 10th students?
IIT-JEE and NEET are some of the toughest UG-level entrance examinations in India. In the year 2024, approximately 24 lakh candidates appeared for the NEET. However, the number of MBBS seats in government colleges is not even 1.5 lakh. Which means that even 1.5 lakh candidates don’t get the desired result of their hard work. IIT-JEE is also no different. Every year, around 9-10 lakh students apply for JEE Main. Around 2–3 lakh of them pass JEE Main and qualify for JEE Advance. Out of these 2–3 lakh candidates, about 8–9% passed JEE Advanced. For a clearer understanding, consider the most current data: in 2024, more than 12 lakh candidates applied for session 1 of JEE Mains, out of which nearly 2 lakh applied for JEE Advanced. The total seats in all IITs for the B.Tech program are close to 18,000.
So, what should aspirants do to ensure their selection for the MBBS or IITs? This blog by MENIIT would answer all such questions.
The most important reason candidates don’t get the desired result in the NEET or IIT-JEE is their weak fundamental concepts. Candidates lack the concept clarity that is required to clear the examination. So what can be done to strengthen the basic concepts?
The answer to this question would vary according to people. Someone would say that students should keep their fundamentals strong, but then how? Someone will suggest that candidates should join coaching, but then the question is, which one? Someone would suggest that candidates should revise their fundamental concepts from time to time, but again, is it worthy or do students have that much time?
One of the most efficient ways to strengthen basic concepts is through a foundation course. Foundation courses nourish the basic concepts of students from the early stages, which helps them learn different concepts in higher classes. In other words, the basic concepts developed by the foundation course lay the foundation of an aspirant’s journey to medical college, or IIT. Any aspirant who wishes to achieve success in the NEET or IIT-JEE should have a strong basic concept. But now the question arises: where do students take foundation courses?
To guide students in the early stages of preparation, MENIIT, an endeavour of MADE EASY, an institute for GATE, ESE, and PSUs, has launched foundation courses for students in classes IX and X.
