Engineering Program - Bodhi Tree (IIT)
Introduction
Bodhi Tree (IIT) is a comprehensive 2 year program that trains
students to handle the Engineering entrance test preparation. There
are three major entrance exams in India for engineering:
- Indian Institute of Technology – Joint Entrance Exam
(IIT-JEE): The IIT-JEE is taken by over 200,000 students every
year, leading to admission in the Indian Institutes of Technology
(IITs) located at Delhi (IITD), Kanpur (IITK), Roorkee (IITR),
Khadagpur (IITKgp), Guwahati (IITG), Mumbai (IITP) and Chennai
(IITM).
- All India Engineering Entrance Exam (AIEEE): Conducted by the
CBSE itself, this exam is taken by around 300,000 students every
year, leading to admission in the National Institutes of technology
(NITs) located in all major Indian states. At present there are
20 NITs in India.
- State Entrance Exams: Taken by about 150,000 students in each
state, leading to admission in the State Engineering colleges.
The students based in GULF are eligible to appear for all the
three exams mentioned above. With the respect and popularity that
Indian Engineers have generated in job markets all over the world,
it is not a surprise that the number of students taking these tests
has gone up significantly in the past few years.
At Meccademia, Student-trainer interactive sessions are conducted
in conventional classrooms. We deploy the Chalk and Talk learning
system with very good results. We upgrade our delivery systems
on a continuous basis – be it teaching methods, course planning,
academic content, student feedback, reference material, testing
tools, etc. Besides teacher training and standardizing teaching
techniques, Meccademia also uses audio, video, web and electronic
testing tools to improve the learning experience.
The differentiator of our products and offerings is the qualification
and experience of the team of trainers, the product content, and
the product delivery which includes Audio-Visual learning. All
the enrolled candidates have access to the online information system.
This information system is used as a communication-point, source
for sending content and homework. All the students will also have
access to our web-based learning resources that will include video
recordings of important chapters, problems for practice, formulae
list, animations etc.
Course Structure
The two-year course is divided into two phases:
Annum I
Begins in April 2008 and continues till the end of January 2009.
A total of 263 contact hours are available to the student in addition
to doubt clearing sessions. The first year is separated into two
phases:
Phase I Covers all concepts and applications
relevant to the CBSE syllabus prescribed for class XI.
Phase II will build upon the knowledge acquired
in the first phase. Additional concepts will be introduced in accordance
with the syllabi for various engineering entrance examinations.
Also, concepts and applications addressed in phase I will now be
treated at a higher level of complexity. Second phase would have
greater focus on sharpening the problem solving skills by relating
the concepts across various subject areas. Relevant topics from
earlier classes will be revisited from time to time.
Tests will be conducted at regular intervals to evaluate the students’ performance
in the course. Tests will be of two types, one pertaining to BOARD/SCHOOL
syllabus and other pertaining to entrance exams.
Annum II
Begins in April 2009 and continues till the end of January 2010.
A total of 323 contact hours are available to the student in addition
to doubt clearing sessions. The second year would have three phases:
Phase I covers all concepts and applications
relevant to the prescribed CBSE syllabus for class XII.
Phase II would build upon the knowledge acquired
in the first phase. Additional concepts will be introduced in accordance
with the syllabi for various engineering entrance examinations.
Also, concepts and applications addressed in phase I will now be
treated at a higher level of complexity. Second phase would have
greater focus on sharpening the problem solving skills by relating
the concepts across various subject areas. Relevant topics from
earlier classes will be revisited from time to time.
Phase III would be devoted to a revision of all
the concepts and applications covered till that time in the course.
This would be a highly intensive phase, with the students being
subjected a large number of challenging problems from competitive
exam papers. (Class XI revision: 40-50% of the entrance level questions
are based on class XI, hence critical concept revision is important
at this stage)
Test Series
Testing is an integral part of the program and parents will be
updated regularly about the progress of the child. The Test Series
will begin in September 2008 and will consist of 5 IIT-JEE papers,
3 AIEEE papers and several BITSAT and state entrance exam papers.
Two Mock board exams will also be conducted before March 2009.
