Sourav Sir's Teaching Methodology

Our teaching approach is designed to transform complex econometrics concepts into easily understandable and applicable knowledge through a structured 5-step methodology.

Conceptual Foundation

We begin with building strong intuitive understanding before mathematical formulations. Real-world examples make abstract concepts tangible.

Software Integration

Hands-on training with Stata, R, and EViews. Students learn to apply theoretical knowledge to actual data analysis from day one.

Structured Practice

Weekly assignments, chapter-wise tests, and problem-solving sessions ensure regular practice and concept reinforcement.

Exam-Oriented Training

Regular mock tests, previous year paper analysis, and time management strategies tailored to specific university patterns.

Personalized Doubt Resolution

One-on-one doubt sessions, WhatsApp support groups, and personalized feedback on assignments and tests.

3

Regular Assessment & Feedback

Weekly tests, monthly comprehensive exams, and detailed performance analysis reports with actionable feedback for improvement.

4

Software Training Integration

Practical sessions on econometric software with real datasets. Students learn to interpret software output and present results professionally.

5

Answer Writing Workshops

Specialized training on how to structure answers, present derivations, include diagrams, and maximize marks in theoretical and numerical questions.

6

24/7 Academic Support

Doubt resolution via WhatsApp, email, and dedicated discussion forums. Quick response time ensures no student gets stuck on any concept.

Proven Strategies to Score High in Econometrics

Our students consistently achieve top scores by following these evidence-based strategies developed over 15+ years of teaching experience.

Answer Presentation Techniques
  • Step-by-step derivations: Never skip steps in mathematical proofs
  • Clear labeling: Label all diagrams, axes, and equations properly
  • Theory + Application: Always include real-world examples with theoretical answers
  • Time allocation: Divide time according to marks weightage
  • Highlighting key points: Use underlining or bullet points for important conclusions
Time Management in Exams
  • 15-minute reading: Carefully read the entire paper before starting
  • Question selection: Start with your strongest sections
  • Section-wise timing: Allocate specific time for each section
  • Last 15 minutes: Reserve for review and corrections
  • Numerical shortcuts: Learn time-saving calculation methods
Common Mistakes to Avoid
  • Confusing similar tests (e.g., Durbin-Watson vs. Breusch-Godfrey)
  • Applying wrong formulas due to misidentifying problem type
  • Forgetting to check assumptions before applying tests
  • Incorrect interpretation of software output
  • Incomplete answers without proper conclusions
