Leaving Fiitjee- Good or Bad?

Fiitjee is good, but 12th boards matter.On one hand, the journey to the IITs is filled with 'extra stuff'. Complex techniques, labyrinthine formulas, confounding problems-- this may be too much for any person. On the other , our teachers say that strong basics are enough to crack the test. So what are we supposed to concentrate on? Should we devote all our time to the 12th finals? Or should we turn ourselves into what others call 'problem-solving automatons'? Or do both at the same time? Let's see.

If this is the reason you wanna quit, good luck with that!

• We do learn the basics. The argument that Fiitjee coaching is all about rote problem-solving is incorrect. We learn the basics of a topic; and then strengthen our understanding on that topic. This is what our teachers mean by 'strong basics'. You can verify this. Just take your NCERT book for any subject in {P,C,M}, and flip through the pages. Do you find any concept which you don't understand? If the answer is no, then your basics are good enough. Otherwise, you probably just didn't concentrate in class when they were teaching it.
• Fiitjee will prepare us for the boards too.It's old news that the JEE would now consider our board marks, to a remarkable extent. Some say 40%, to be exact. Fiitjee must, and obviously will, concentrate on boards. If you need them, you're going to get extra classes for NCERT.
• Time isn't a problem. The JEE will come only after the boards, so you'll have a lot of time after your boards to brush up advanced topics and take practice tests. Anyway, you do probably waste a lot of time, so start managing it. Time is crucial, fast and important. (Note: I should be saying this to myself, no?)
• Know your interests. If you're an aspiring cricket/football/hockey star, and you absolutely hate studies, I don't think Fiitjee is the right place for you. If your parents forced you to come here, don't waste time thinking about quitting. 
• Talk it out with a teacher. Have a talk with MP or CVM (or PMS) sir. They are our teachers, and they'll know what's best for us. They'll tell you if it's worth quitting. Tell them about why you feel like quitting. Finalize your decision only after talking to them. Oh, and talk to your friends too. Not friends who already quit.

Keep these points in mind while you decide. Whether shifting will be an improvement, only time will tell. 

So long, folks. See ya tomorrow.
