Which book is better for studying pharmacology for the MUHS University exams KD Tripathi or Shanbag?
Pharmacology is the subject of understanding pathology and the required drugs. KD Tripathi is the best book for it. Each chapter in KDT has an initial part related to diseases and then there are strategies given to treat them. Most of the concepts are explained quite clearly and in a format which can be written in examinations.
Whereas, Shanbag explains a lot of the concepts in a much simpler way and students score well in examinations. However, there are mistakes that are mostly corrected in KDT. Initially, it can be difficult to read chapters from KDT. But eventually, you will get used to it.
So, I will advise you to use KDT as standard and use Shanbag as a reference. Also, make sure to correct the wrongly mentioned things during reading.

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.
Am I eligible for the UPSC by completing a B.Sc from Nalanda Open University?
Yes, you are eligible to appear for the UPSC examination after completing a B Sc degree from Nalanda Open University. There are certain criteria that you need to keep in mind while checking your eligibility. Firstly, the university should be recognized by the central government and UGC as well. So, Nalanda Open University is recognized. Next, you need to pass your graduation exams properly so that you can earn your degree without any backlogs.

What are the main topics to cover for IIM Indore IPM entrance exam?
IIM Indore conducts an entrance exam called IPMAT (IPM Aptitude Test) for inducting students in its 5-year Integrated Program in Management (IPM) course, the form for which is usually released in the month of May each year.
The test has three sections, i.e. Quantitative Ability (MCQ), Quantitative Ability (Short Answer), and Verbal Ability (VA). So naturally Mathematics and English are the two subjects you should focus on to ace the exam. In mathematics topics such as probability, trigonometry, mensuration topics such as area, volume and perimeter should be your top priority. A good grip on class 10 mathematics will definitely help you.
In English, you need to be proficient in the language. Grammar, reading comprehension through paragraphs, and punctuations are some of the most important topics to cover in the language section. I hope if you practice enough, you can easily cross the cutoff of the test.
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!

Which exam is easier, the LPU NEST or the Amity JEE?
Between these two, LPU NEST is relatively easier than Amity JEE, although the syllabus of these two entrance exams is almost similar. Both of these exams are conducted online, and are convenient for the student to take part from anywhere.
Following considerations will be helpful to comprehend why LPU NEST is more comfortable than the other one.
LPU NEST
- This exam does not have any negative marking; thereby, the students cannot lose marks for their wrong answers.
- Besides, after cracking this test, the student will get the opportunity to select their subjects from various streams, including Engineering and Management, Agriculture, Commerce, etc. offered by this institute.
- The scholarship is attached to this test. The meritorious students get the scholarship facilities as per their scores in the LPU NEST exams.
Amity JEE
- It has negative marking, and one mark is deducted for every four wrong answers.
- While Amity JEE is only for getting admission in Engineering subjects at Amity University and not for other subjects.
- The scholarship is not attached to this test, so the programs in this institute are mostly self-paced.
The syllabus is almost similar to both of these tests, as mentioned earlier, and it follows the basic concept of the subject that the student has learned in his or her previous qualification. The important thing is that LPU NEST does not have the negative marking and the students get scholarships, as per their merit list; hence, it is easier to crack.
