What is the difference between the syllabus of the BITSAT and the JEE?
Students preparing for BITSAT, need to study for two more sections, i.e. English and Logical Reasoning. Other than this, there is no such major difference between BITSAT and JEE syllabus.
If you are preparing for JEE Mains, the PCM section of BITSAT will be easier for you. You need to have good speed to score well in BITSAT.
Is the CUSAT tougher than the NDA exam?
UPSC NDA is most certainly tougher than CUSAT NDA. In terms of syllabus, CUSAT CAT would exclusively stick to Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. On the basis of these three subjects, your knowledge would be determined.
When we talk about UPSC NDA, your knowledge would be checked overall by observing your written exams which would be based on General Ability consisting of polity, geography, history, economics, English, and current affairs along with mathematics.
- Cracking CUSAT CAT would make you eligible to carry out extensive research on science and technology/pursue a bachelor's degree from one of the finest institutes in Kerala.
- But UPSC NDA would help you become a respected officer for the Indian Military. You would be leading men to sail/fight during a warship and you would get to fly fighter jets.
- CUSAT demands you to crack the CAT examination and get a good score. This score would help you go for the course that you have wanted. Your skills would further help you grab a job once you get your degree.
- Clearing the NDA exam is just one step into a long procedure the UPSC follows. This further is carried on with some other tests and interview sessions. You would then have a term of 3 years (6 terms) wherein your training would be conducted to get into the National Defense Academy. After these hardcore 4 years and by the President's Commission, you would be welcomed, as a young officer, into the Indian Army/Navy/Airforce.
Whether it is via CUSAT or even NDA, both the exams would hand you the opportunity to work for the country. Do well!

Is it possible to prepare govt exams with parallel M.Sc Chemistry at Acharya Nagarjuna University? Please give suggestions about time management.
Preparing for a government exam parallel with M.Sc Chemistry, is a bit tough. Here are some reasons as to why it could become difficult.
- You will have 4 days of lab class including physical, organic, inorganic and analytical lab.
- You will have assignments to write, records to be completed, and seminars you need to attend and prepare for.
- You will have to prepare for C-1 and C-2 internals.
- Try maintaining a proper schedule, plan your activities beforehand.
- If your classes become strict you will hardly get enough time to study during the day. But make time either early morning or late at night.
- Make a to-do list as you are preparing for competitive exams.
- Make daily, weekly, monthly and yearly goals and stick to them.
- If you are traveling try to use the time effectively by reading inorganic theory concepts or try solving previous year’s government exam questions.
- Usually in chemistry most of the organic and inorganic are heat-related experiments.
If you have free time, utilize it by visiting the library and reading books on inorganic chemistry. You could also complete your assignments to stay a bit ahead.
You will be left with 4-5 hours because of your M.Sc. but it is still sufficient, as you can study effectively between these hours. Make short notes and focus one day on revision, do mock tests to analyze your strengths and weaknesses and work on them.
What should be the proper strategy to excel in both GATE and ESE simultaneously?
Here are some strategies that can help you prepare for GATE and ESE simultaneously.
- Compare the syllabus of GATE and ESE. Go through the previous years' questions of both. The technical portion of both examinations overlaps a lot. The major difference is question patterns and styles. Different types of questions are asked on the same topics. GATE tests aptitude for solving technical questions. While ESE puts more emphasis on technical details.
- Figure out which subjects contribute more to which examinations.
- If you have less time, start with GATE preparation. The topics can be covered easily and in less time. Once you are through GATE preparation, you can solve ESE questions without much difficulty.
- Focus on GATE and ESE preparations only.
First, go through the syllabus thoroughly. Once you are done with the syllabus, go through your notes and solve previous years' questions. Solve test series, and review hard questions. Analyze the tests you give and work on your mistakes.
What should I prepare for CEED NID or GRE TOEFL?
You can start your CEED preparation by downloading study resources for different topics from the internet. But it will be better if you join a coaching center. The study materials of leading coaching centers are prepared by experienced professionals who are well aware of the previous year's question paper trends and practice papers. Taking mock tests can also help you with your preparation. Innovation in drawing and creativity are two important skills for clearing CEED.
Preparing for GRE and TOFEL is easier once you get the hang of the testing process. GRE tests verbal reasoning, critical thinking, quantitive reasoning, and analytical writing skills. TOFEL tests the ability of students to combine the four academic skills - Listening, reading, writing, and speaking in English. TOFEL is easier than GRE. If you have good verbal ability and a decent grasp of the English Langauge, you can do well in both tests. There are many reputed coaching institutes for GRE and TOFEL. You can join such an institute or self-study using resources from the internet.
Is CLAT a difficult exam?
The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is a national-level law entrance examination. It is conducted every year by the consortium of NLUs. CLAT question paper is based on MCQ format and consists of 150 questions. The exam tests the critical thinking ability of law aspirants. CLAT is not a difficult exam to crack. Anyone who is well prepared can get into an NLU. However, it can be a bit tough to get into the top five NLUs.
The difficulty level of an exam depends on two things, which are as follows.
Pattern and level of preparation:
- The CLAT question paper consists of 150 questions spread over five sections. The five sections are – English language, Current affairs including general knowledge, legal reasoning, logical reasoning, and quantitative techniques.
- ALL the questions are comprehension based. So, a candidate has to read the entire passage to solve a set of questions. What makes the exam scary is the time frame. Candidates have to complete the entire paper within two hours.
- However, practicing a lot of mocks will help overcome this difficulty. Candidates having the habit of reading newspapers will have an edge in this exam.
So, solving various questions, mocks, reading newspapers, and staying updated about the happenings around the world are the keys to achieve success in CLAT.
Level of Competition:
Every year around 65,000 candidates apply for this exam and the number keeps increasing with each passing year. However, the ratio of selection in CLAT is higher as compared to JEE.
In nutshell, CLAT requires planned and smart preparation, and the rest will find its way.
What is the difficulty level of the BITS HD exam compared to the GATE?
GATE consists mostly of numerical questions. It tests the aptitude for solving questions in less time. BITS HD papers have 10-15 numerical questions usually. The numerical questions aren’t on the same level as GATE and are just formula-based problems. Usually, around 80-90% of BITS HD questions are theory oriented. You need to have a good grasp of your engineering subjects to score well in BITS HD. The questions can come from anywhere in the syllabus. BITS HD usually consists -
- 15 Mathematics questions (difficulty usually higher than GATE)
- 15 general English questions
- 70 Engineering discipline questions
Also, note that BITS take admission based on GATE scores as well.
What do you prefer, the GATE or the IES?
I would prefer GATE or IES because in GATE the ratio is 10:1 whereas in IES the ratio is 300:1. This makes IES a very tough competitive exam but in GATE it is easier to get good marks and rank higher as the paper is easy and less competitive compared to IES.
The IES exam is tougher than GATE because here a candidate has to excel both in academics and personality. In GATE the questions are concept based and it is easier to solve if all the concepts are clear. Also in the GATE exam, there are 65 questions and the time limit is 3 hours but in the IES exam there are 120 questions and the time limit is 2 hours. So you get less time to solve all the questions.
After qualifying for your GATE exam with good marks, you can apply to any of the big companies with higher packages and it also opens your gate to apply for PSU.
After qualifying for your IES exam, you will get a job as an assistant executive engineer and after 3-4 years of experience, you will get promoted to executive engineer post. Then after many years of experience of like 20+ years, you will get Chief Engineer posts.
What is the difference between IES and GATE?
GATE and IES, are very well known among graduate engineers. The IES exam is carried out annually by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) and the GATE exam is administered by Bangalore's Indian Institute of Science (IISc) or any of the seven IITs.
Syllabus and paper pattern:
- The complete engineering syllabus is covered by the IES exam, while GATE covers a portion of this syllabus and some other topics useful for higher studies.
- While GATE tests problem-solving ability, IES tests conceptual capability.
- The IES exam paper contains questions of the objective and subjective type and a total of 4 papers, while the GATE exam paper only contains questions of the objective type and only 1 paper.
- Only in the subjective paper, a calculator is allowed.
Difficulty Level & Duration:
It will be much more difficult to solve the questions you will face in GATE than in IES.
- In a single problem, GATE questions require you to apply many concepts. For that, you should have good problem-solving skills.
- While most of the questions asked in IES are direct formula or a single concept based.
- In GATE, in 3 hours, you have to solve 65 questions that are approximately 2.5 minutes per question.
- On the other hand, you have 120 questions in 2 hours to solve in IES. So, 1 minute per question which means you get nearly 2.5 times more “time” per question in GATE. But the difficulty level compensates for it.
Category of PSUs and Job Scope:
- UPSC conducts IES examination to recruit candidates under the Govt for different engineering departments (mechanical, electrical, civil, and E&T).
- Around India, The departments you get through IES are Indian Railway Service of Engineers, Indian Railway Stores Service, Indian Ordnance Factories Service AWM/JTS., Central Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Service, Geological Survey of India Engineering Service Gr ‘A’, Central Engineering Service (Roads), Gr ‘A’, Central Water Engineering Service Gr ‘A’, Indian Defence Service of Engineers, Central Power Engineering Service Gr ‘B’ and so on.
- The GATE exam is organized for higher studies (M.tech., PH. Ed. etc) and for placements in PSUs and Govt. Organizations.
From the above-mentioned factual information, the difference between the two should be clear. Rest all depends on your choice what you opt for.
