Passing first year subjects.

First year subjects are considered toughest to pass and get rid of in engineering. Here are some tips that might help yo to clear the toughest subjects in first year-

1. Programming- This subject is a big joke. I passed my programming without learning one sentence of c. To pass this subject do theory very well. There is very little theory in all chapters learn that all.Theory is usually asked for 30-40 marks in the paper. Also study specific programs like palindrome, pascal triangle etc which have been asked earlier. Also practise recursive functions. Refer blueprints for weightage.
2. BEE- many people consider this subject to be very tough and are stuck with it for years. It is very easy to pass this subject with just 3 days of preparation. Start studying theory of single phase ac circuits, 3phase 2 wattmeter, transformers etc. Study the dc part at last. It is not worth its weightage and people usually go wrong in sums. Study only 3-4 marks sums from this topic.Also practise recursive functions. Refer blueprints for weightage.
3. Maths-1- Refer blueprints for weightage. Study strictly according to blueprint and study only the parts you find easy. Do not sit and study for full 120 marks. Study only for 80 marks.
4. Maths-2- Same as maths-1 refer blueprints for weightage and study for 80 marks only, this subject is known to stick so do not take it lightly.
5. Mechanics- Same as maths but study theorem statements and read through sums. Study simple balancing chapters only. Do not go for trusses etc.
6. Physics/chemistry- these subjects are relatively simple and just study important questions only. Try getting notes of Dr. Shetye from RAIT students for both chemistry papers they are clear and concise.
