Competitive exams are a way of testing students against higher benchmarks than those in their regular school environment. The talented of the lot are pitched against each other and the best are identified. This however has a catch. If the examining body is not very competent or is biased towards a particular community or mentality or curriculum then the result is generation of either a superiority or an inferiority complex in the student giving the exam. This can be avoided by doing the following:

  1. Ensure that the examining/organizing body is competent (by checking their credentials)
  2. Ensure that the examining/organizing body is free of any bias towards or against any individual, group or philosophy
  3. Do not let the student attempt too many exams but only chosen ones and those of the subjects of his/her choice. This reduces pressure on the student and allows for healthy competition
  4. Do not glorify the successes too much as this will create complexes among students

Given below are conduction, enrollment & study details of the some of the exams that we recommend the students.
