Baby Einstein andBrain Training games don’t work.In fact, there’s reason to believethey make kids dumber!

“The products didn’t work at all. They had no positive effect on the vocabularies of the target audience, infants 17-24 months. Some did actual harm. For every hour per day the children spent watching certain baby DVD’s and videos, the infants understood an average of six to eight fewer words than infants who did not watch them.”

Article inspired fromTime Magazine website

Is that Learning Appmaking you

Dumb?

Here are two findings on this:

What does Dan Coyle, author of The Talent Code recommend? Stop merely reading and test yourself:

Our brains evolved to learn by doing things, not just by hearing about them or watching them. This is one of the reasons that, for a lot of skills, it’s much better to spend about two thirds of your time testing yourself on it rather than absorbing it. There’s a rule of two thirds. If you want to, say, memorize a passage, it’s better to spend 30 percent of your time reading it, and the other 70 percent of your time testing yourself on that knowledge.

A second controlled experiment has failed to show that children learn to read from media-based instructional programs (Neuman et al 2014). And the evidence suggests that very young children don't learn to talk by watching TV.

Instead, babies learn by listening to and interacting with live human beings.

The education process at Knowledge Planet is based on the same philosophy. We teach children in our classrooms by involving them in LIVE face-to-face, interactive sessions with teachers. Then they spend time in the classrooms, solving problems “with the teachers”. At home, they solve more problems based on what they have learnt in the classroom through their home assignments. This entire process concretizes their learning. Finally they write a sizeable number of tests to evaluate where they stand, and what their weak areas are, so that they can improve those areas.

Real learning isn’t passive, it’s active.

This is how real learning takes place.So, that learning App may be doing more harm,than good.

This became necessary

because the test format will change from 2019

From 2019, JEE-Main will be conducted twice (January & April) in multiple sessions.

The multiple choice tests will be computer based.

An aspirant can appear in both the cycles (Main 1 & Main 2)

Though there is no change in the pattern and difficulty level of the test, candidates will have different questions.

Each session will have its own percentile score with

highest scorer(s) as 100 percentile.

Physics and Chemistry in that order.

DECODING THE NEWMARKING ANDRANKING SCHEMEFOR JEE-MAIN

National Testing Agency introduces new marking and ranking scheme for entrance to engineering and architecture colleges.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT NTA WILL BE CONDUCTING THE TESTS

CONTACT KNOWLEDGE PLANET TO PREPARE FOR THE NEW JEE-MAIN PATTERN

What is the new way of Ranking?IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER....

1

A master NTA Score will be prepared where all the

sessions of Main 1 will be put together for a final ranking.

2

The top ranked candidate in the final ranking of Main 1

will be the 100 percentile. 3

The tie breaker between the 100 percentile scorers

(or any percentile rank) will be the highest percentile in Mathematics,

4

If the scorers are tied even after this, the older person

will be ranked higher.5

For those who take both cycles of the exam, the

better percentile will count in the final merit list.

8

A final merit list will be announced after Main 2

the Main 2 exam.

The same method of ranking (step 1-5) will be applied to 6

OCTOBER 2018

Earlier this year in a new development, Indian students (including NRIs, OCIs, PIOs), who intend to study Medicine courses (MBBS, BDS, MD etc) outside India in foreign medical colleges, will also have to clear the NEET Entrance Exam as a prerequisite. If they do not clear the NEET Exam, such students will not be allowed to practice medicine in India, upon successful completion of their course.

This move will affect thousands of students going abroad every year to study medicine. The students who wish to study MBBS and do not get admission in medical colleges in India generally go to foreign medical colleges.

Upon return to India after completion of the course these students are required to give FMGE (Foreign Medical Graduate Exam), the exam that they need to clear to register to practice in India, after obtaining a primary medical qualification (MBBS) overseas. However, only 10-15% are able to clear.

As per MCI, the foreign medical colleges admit students without proper assessment of one’s academic ability to cope up with medical education. As a result many students fail to qualify the Screening Test (FMGE).

MCI thus wanted to make it compulsory for student to clear NEET even if they want to go abroad to study MBBS as this will ensure that only quality students pursue MBBS from abroad.

Note that NEET has already been mandatory for MBBS Admissions in Indian Medical Colleges since 2016.
