it is no longer as big a deal now as it was till a decade back to land a seat in one of the institutes.
However, to those desperately seeking admission yet are not confident of getting to the levels needed to go past the cut offs, here is an off beat remedy that can give them that extra leg up the final rung :
Take a 0.5 mg shot of the drug Methylphenidate half an hour before the test begins. This drug, which is adminstered to children with Attention Deficit Disorder, helps the patient easily focus all his attention on the job at hand without the usual test time emotions of anxiety and resultant distractions taking away precious time.
But of course, this can succeed only for those who are well prepared and need this drug only to cut out distractions from the mind and use every available second of test time to strategise and think and find out answers.
