There are specific notions attached to these competitive exams which might have been true a few years back but with the changes in the education system and the way students learn today, it\u2019s finally time to break these myths and misconceptions about competitive exams.<\/p>\n<h2>Here are the Top Myths and Facts about Competitive Exams:<\/h2>\n<h3>Myth 1: Cracking Engineering or Medical entrances is rocket science<\/h3>\n<p>People believe that only toppers can crack competitive exams like JEE or NEET. This is one of the biggest myths surrounding competitive exams. Your dedication is all that matters when preparing for such exams. A student whose performance is average can also crack these exams if they work hard and stay motivated.<\/p>\n<h3>Myth 2: Studying in expensive coaching centres can help crack the exam<\/h3>\n<p>Students pay lakhs for expensive coaching institutes due to this myth. While going to a good coaching institute is important, self-study also matters a lot. Even if your coaching institute is not the most expensive one but you take time to study and work hard on your preparation and schedules, nothing can stop you from cracking competitive exams.<\/p>\n<h3>Myth 3: More hours you study means better preparation<\/h3>\n<p>Every student has different ways to study and prepare. Some students can study for just 2-3 hours and clear tough exams while some might study all day for the same. The number of hours does not count when you\u2019re preparing for competitive exams. As long as you stay 100% focused while you study, cracking competitive exams won\u2019t require extensive study schedules.<\/p>\n<h3>Myth 4: Studying from as many books as possible increases your chances of clearing the exam<\/h3>\n<p>Different books from different authors will only confuse you. You should study from the main books like NCERT and use just one or two books for reference. You should focus on solving sample papers and mock tests as they give you a better understanding of the question paper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whenever someone mentions the toughest competitive exams like JEE\/NEET or CUET, we immediately imagine students studying all day and having no fun at all.
