As thousands of NEET and JEE aspirants across India gear up for their upcoming entrance exams, GURCHARANAM a leading online learning platform, has launched a campaign to bust the most common myths surrounding competitive exam preparation.
The initiative, titled “Myths About Competitive Exams
That Students Should Ignore,” aims to help students approach their
preparation with clarity, balance, and scientifically proven learning
strategies—free from the pressure of unrealistic expectations.
“Students often believe that success in exams like NEET or
JEE is reserved for the extraordinarily intelligent or those who study 12 hours
a day,” said Giriraj Vishwakarma, Founder GURCHARANAM. “The truth
is, success comes from consistent effort, conceptual clarity, and emotional
balance—not blind hard work or fear-driven study routines.”
The Reality Behind Popular Myths
Myth 1: “You Must Study 12+ Hours a Day to Succeed”
Truth: Quality matters more than quantity.
GURCHARANAM educators highlight that long, unplanned hours often lead to
fatigue and burnout. Instead, 6–8 focused hours of study—with proper
rest and breaks—are far more effective. Techniques such as the Pomodoro
method (25 minutes of study followed by a 5-minute break) can help students
stay fresh and focused.
“It’s not about how long you study, but how deeply you
understand. Smart study always beats endless study”
Myth 2: “Only Geniuses Crack NEET or JEE”
Truth: Every student can succeed with the right
strategy.
Contrary to popular belief, toppers aren’t born—they’re made through
disciplined routines, consistency, and good mentorship. According to
GURCHARANAM, success depends 80% on strategy and consistency, and only
20% on natural ability.
Myth 3: “You Need to Memorize Everything”
Truth: Understanding trumps memorization.
Competitive exams test application of concepts, not rote learning. Students who
focus on conceptual understanding and use active recall and spaced
repetition techniques perform better in long-term retention and
problem-solving.
Myth 4: “You Should Study from Multiple Books”
Truth: Master a few reliable resources instead.
Overloading on reference books can confuse students and reduce focus.
GURCHARANAM advises relying primarily on NCERT textbooks and 1–2
high-quality reference materials for each subject.
“Depth is more important than variety” “Revising one trusted
book five times is better than reading five books once.”
Myth 5: “You Can’t Succeed Without a Coaching Institute”
Truth: Self-study can be just as effective if you are
disciplined and follow a structured plan.
While coaching institutes can provide structure and
guidance, they are not the only way to prepare for competitive exams. Many
students have successfully cracked exams through self-study with the help of
online resources.
Myth 6: “You Must Start Preparing Years in Advance”
Truth: A focused 6–12 months can be enough.
GURCHARANAM experts clarify that success doesn’t depend on early preparation,
but on effective planning and consistency. Students who start late but
follow a disciplined schedule often outperform those who start early but lack
focus.
Myth 7: “Stress Is Unavoidable During Exam Prep”
Truth: Stress can be managed—and even minimized.
High stress can lead to anxiety and poor concentration. GURCHARANAM’s mentors
emphasize mental well-being through meditation, short breaks, hobbies,
and regular physical activity.
“A healthy mind learns faster”
Myth 8: “Last-Minute Cramming Works”
Truth: Consistency is the real game-changer.
Cramming might offer short-term recall, but it doesn’t lead to deep
understanding. GURCHARANAM advises building a steady routine with daily
revision and mock tests. This ensures stronger retention and exam confidence.
