She could not clear IIT-JEE. However, Aditi did not get discouraged. Instead, she used this experience to establish her own company!

After 12th, admission to many courses is usually through entrance tests. Students spend a lot of time, money and energy to prepare for these tests. Coaching classes, mock tests, and hours of preparation.... students and their parents put in all their efforts. The aim is to crack these tests.

It was the same case with Aditi too. This girl from Ludhiana, Punjab, had worked hard to crack IIT-JEE. She was naturally disappointed when she did not clear the exam.

However, what she did after that is what makes Aditi's story so special.

She did not let disappointment discourage her. She stuck to her decision to become an engineer.

After completing her studies, Aditi worked in different companies. Then she established her own start-up - Embibe.com. Embibe.com is an online platform to guide students who wish to appear for competitive exams.

The start-up was so successful that Reliance recently invested Rs. 500 crores in it!

Here is Aditi's story -- an inspiration to girls across India!

Success in the corporate world....

After completing her engineering, Aditi started working with Tata Consultancy Services. Her area of specialization was the Growth of New business initiatives.

While she was working at Tata, she won the AIMI Young Leaders project.

This achievement is special. Initially, Aditi was considered too young for the AIMI Young Leaders project. Her nomination was even rejected!

In spite of all this, Aditi was meant to succeed. Winning this project was just the beginning.

Aditi didn't just stop at just engineering though. She decided to pursue an MBA degree in Finance and Marketing. So Aditi went to Chicago for her MBA. She completed her MBA from a very prestigious college there.

After her MBA, Aditi joined the prestigious Barclays bank. A good job with an international bank, money, success.... Aditi had it all!

In spite of all this success, Aditi still thought about her IIT -JEE exam. The experience of not cracking this exam had stayed with her....

When Aditi could not crack the exam, instead of getting discouraged, she analyzed what went wrong.

She realized she was comparatively weak in Chemistry. So, she should have spent more time on that subject. However, Aditi did not get the guidance she needed at that time.

So, Aditi decided to start something that would provide students with proper guidance to crack competitive exams like IIT-JEE, BITSAT, and CET.

Aditi came back to India. She spoke to students in various cities. She wanted to understand the problems they faced during exams. Based on her research and experience, Aditi launched Embibe.com.

Aditi thus converted her loss into gain. She used her experience of IIT-JEE entrance test while creating Embibe.com.

5 Simple Math Tricks For Fast Calculations

Maths tricks are the road to quickly and efficiently solving complex math problems. Math isn't just something you can learn from books. There are other ways to learn math that can make it easier. Simple math tricks help us figure things out quickly and help us get better at math.

Some kids have trouble with math. The math tricks are helpful for students and help you keep track of time so you can answer math questions correctly in competitive exams and in real life.

The best way to make math a fun subject is to teach math tricks. So, learning simple math tricks will help students feel better about themselves and improve their problem-solving ability. With these tips, they can do very well on competitive exams and in the future. Here are 5 such tips:

<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
  1. Addition
<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
  • Take 53 + 44.
<br /> <br />
  • Based on tens and units places, split the second number: 44 = 40 + 4
<br /> <br />
  • Finish the ten's addition. 53 + 40 = 93
<br /> <br />
  • Finally, add the remaining unit place digit. 93 + 4 = 97.
<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
  1. **Quick Multiplication **
<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
  • Let's try the numbers 28 and 14
<br /> <br />
  • First, split the number 28, which gives 4 x 7
<br /> <br />
  • Then multiply 7 by 14, and we get 98
<br /> <br />
  • Finally, multiply the number 98 x 4 = 392
<br /> <br />
  • So, 28 x 14 gives 392.
<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
  1. Multiplication of Two-Digit Numbers when one number is even:
<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
  • Consider an example, 12 x 37
<br /> <br />
  • Here 12 is an even number. Divide it in half so that 12/2 = 6
<br /> <br />
  • Then double the second number. 37 x 2 =74
<br /> <br />
  • Finally, multiply both answers. It becomes 74 x 6 = 444
<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
  1. Percentage

    Let's find 5% of 375:

<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
  • First, Move the decimal point over by one place for the given number.
<br /> <br />
  • 375.0 becomes 37.5
<br /> <br />
  • Then divide the number 37.5 by 2, and we get 18.75.
<br /> <br />
  • The answer to 5% of 375 is 18.75.
<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
  1. Squares of numbers ending with the digit 5
<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
  • Let's take the number 85 and try to find its square.
<br /> <br />
  • We know that the square of 5 is 25. Note that down.
<br /> <br />
  • Next, take the first digit of the number 85. That is 8. Then take the number that comes after 8, which is 9.
<br /> <br />
  • Now, multiply 8 and 9, and we get the number 72.
<br /> <br />
  • Finally, write the number 72 before the number 25 (which you wrote down earlier). So, what you get is 7225, which is the answer.
<br /> <br />

Interview With a Journalist

A career in journalism brings together a lot of aspects that require you to be on your toes at all times. If you have a love for language, reading, writing, love to always be vigilant about what goes on around you and above all, feel a sense of social responsibility, then the job of a journalist is for you. Journalists are of different kinds; some are reporters, writers, editors, and photographers. The Glow & Lovely Careers (formerly known as Fair & Lovely Career Foundation) encourages all women that aspire to become journalists through providing expert career guidance and free online courses on the subject.

To understand in detail about what a journalist's job entails, we spoke to Disha Shah, who works as Correspondent at Mirror Now- Times Television Network. She came across as a self-motivated woman, who strongly believes that the job of a journalist is solely to bring the truth before the society, and not to influence the thought process of the citizens in any form. Speaking to her enriched our knowledge about journalism.
