Views of Arti Uniyal about me


For  achieving any goal in life, one needs to have determination  ,motivation,  intellect, hardwork.But another thing that cannot come from inside but holds utmost importance  is the right guidance. We all need a person in our lives to show us the right path, tell us what to do, put us out of our dilemmas and miseries, and instill in us the confidence we need to achieve our goals..
Fortunately, in Uma Mudgal mam,we all found that guide.I heartily thank her for playing such an important part in my success.
For cracking any medical entrance exam,you need to have crystal clear concepts in physics ,chemistry and loads of practice is required.But you can never ever neglect biology,not just because it covers a larger portion in some pmts or that it is given preference during ties in ranks, but because it is your subject and you  have to pursue it for your entire lifetime and not just for clearing the pmts.
Uma mam used to make bio so much fun by giving day today examples and having long discussions on some interesting topics rather than just sticking to the syllabus….as she wanted us to have a vast knowledge. From her, we learned that biology is not just about rote learning.
However at the same time she stressed a lot on N.C.E.R.T and said that we should be thorough with each line,each diagram,each table and each page of it.She made sure that the image of each page of N.C.E.R.T was imprinted in our heads by making us write notes by ourselves,practicing each diagram as much as possible and even used to check them.In AIPMT, every question is from the N.C.E.R.T also for boards, written practice is very important. Thus one should be very well versed in N.C.E.R.T right from the first page to the last. If u practice Uma mam’s  advice …make a copy,write notes from the NCERT, practice its diagrams and incorporate NCERT into your very soul, I can assure you and give it in written that not only will you taste success in your PMTS but also score great marks in boards. However the problem with any class is that the students do not believe in the ‘writing bio ‘ part and fail to make or maintain a bio notes copy . So I request every bio student to make a copy,practice in it and get it checked,because bio is not just about rote learning,and there can be no better way of learning bio than writing it.The notes copy is a very good investment in the learning process.
And yes though hardwork is very very important , what is also very important is smartwork.You need to know how and when to srike the hammer , also at the right place.”Be a smart worker rather than a hardworker “-that is what mam always tells and it got imprinted in our minds n we all will continue to follow it not only in academics but in all spheres of life.
Also,one of her ways of making biology more interesting is taking us to the school garden and asking us to search the web and obtain more information on some topics.This makes bio so much fun, allows us to look beyond our books and become more familiar with the topics.She also gave equal attention to the practicals and used to say that a true biologist it one who has rich practical knowledge.Another problem with students is that they fail to give importance to practical work and their practical files and rather see it  only as a medium to obtain 30 marks in boards.They must acknowledge the fact that practicals are very important in gaining knowledge …we learn a lot of facts from practicals and acquire that knowledge which we can never get by being bookworms… and there lies the beauty of practicals.
She also encouraged us to participate in various Olympiads and inspired us to win laurels to the school. This helped in the long run as nowdays our competition is not just with the kids in our class but is at a national or rather international level.
Uma mam’s politeness, understanding nature, guidance, motherly behavior, encouragement and inspiration to strive for excellence are her qualities I, or any student of hers can never forget.I can never thank her enough for shaping my career and the career of so many children.
THANK YOU MAM!!!
