SK
Shefali Khanna Posted On : May 5th, 2021
B.Tech Chemical Engineering & Digital Marketing, Birsa Institute of Technology, Sindri (2020)

You should prepare yourself from the beginning when it comes to giving entrance exams. You should believe in yourself and know that things might change. You shouldn’t stress yourself out too much and just focus on what is in front of you.

Here are a few methods that might help:

  • You should use the NCERT books and grasp as much as you can. Learn, remember and understand whatever information you can from these books. They cover all three topics of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
  • When it comes to Physics, the NCERT books will definitely help you. If you study them properly and get a good grasp on the concepts and have your basics cleared with the formulas learned, you will do well.
  • For mathematics, you can solve all the NCERT books including the exercises and examples with all other miscellaneous exercise questions.

Overall, make sure your concepts are clear. Follow the NCERT book to the core and study well. You may have prepared for JEE Mains which will also be a good booster. You should also practice last year’s JCECE question papers as this will give you an overall idea of the exam.

SP
Sulagna Palit Posted On : January 21st, 2021
M.A. in Public Administration in Masters in Public Administration, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) (2019)

If you are preparing at home then subscribe to any youtube channel that covers all the sections and topics. ADDA24/7 is a good channel covering all the relevant topics that appear in Bank exam and DSSSB.

Follow a specific preparation plan then study the exam pattern and figure out which sections in quantitative subjects have the most weightage. For instance, for the SSC exam or any bank exam, some questions from certain sections are fixed.

Sections

Number of Questions

Number Series

5 questions

Simplification

5 questions

Data Interpretation

5 to 10 questions

Quadratic Equations

5 questions

If you focus on these topics, you can easily solve a majority of the questions in this section: 

Simplification

  • Focus on this topic because about 20 percent of the quantitative section is made up of this topic. 
  • Use quick mental maths to solve these questions and try to focus on the concepts as well. You can use short tricks to make quick calculations and save time. 
  • Practice questions from topics like BODMAS rules, Approximation, Square and Cubes, Surds and Indices, Decimals and Percentages.

Number Series:

  • This is the easiest topic in the quantitative section. 
  • Try to solve over 300 questions from different platforms and once you get a hang of the topic, you will be able to confidently answer all the questions. 
  • During the exam, if you don’t understand the pattern within 30 seconds then move on. Don’t waste your time and practice more.

Data Interpretation: 

  • This topic requires practice every day. Practice all the different types of questions related to Pie Charts, Tables, Line Graph, Bar Graph and Miscellaneous questions with word problems. 
  • Data Interpretation questions are common in exams, you will get at least 1 or 2 sets wherein some questions are easy to solve and require fewer maths calculations.

Quadratic Equations:

  • The questions from this topic are fairly easy and if you know the basic concept, then you can easily attempt all the questions. 
  • Practice 100 questions from this topic daily. 

All these topics are very important, so prepare them well. Focus on solving questions on a daily basis and try to stay up to date.

How can I score well at LNCT (main campus in Bhopal) in the mid-semester and semester exams (I'm in the 1st year.)?

DJ
Divya Joshi Posted On : November 10th, 2022
SW Engineer at Varian Medical System

You must have 75% attendance to be eligible for mid-sem. It is not required to have this much attendance, but 75% is a relevant number that will help you over the course of time (Semester Exams). The boundary criterion for shortlisting students to appear for mid sem is 50% attendance. You will be unable to appear for mid-sem if your age is less than 50.

Technical books are recommended for semester exams. The majority of the books are available in the college library, but they are out of date. Purchase new books for significant topics such as ED, mechanics, and M-1. Studying books aids in the development of concepts and numerical approaches. Never place your full confidence in Shivani that is a guide to passing the exam.

What kind of preparation is needed to get an admission in executive MTech in data science in IIT Hyderabad?

HR
Himika Roy Posted On : May 9th, 2023
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad (2021)

Honestly speaking, Executive M.Tech or MBA in part-time or short-duration courses in newer IITs or NITs has zero effect on your career prospects and is not worth the money and time invested. Instead, it's better to invest 2 years for a full-time M.Tech in top universities like IIT Madras, IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, IIT KGP BITS, etc. Utilizing more time to prepare for six top universities will help you reach better heights career-wise. However, keep working and prepare for GATE alongside your job. In the meantime, you can clear BITS-HD, and PGEE for IIITs easily if you prepare at the GATE level. Even with an experience of 4 years, you can invest 2 years for M.Tech in top IITs and secure a good IT job in tech giants like Google, Amazon, McKinsey, etc. 

It's better to consider other options and leave Executive MTech as the last option when all doors are closed.

How should one prepare for the entrance exam for a postgraduate program at ISI Kolkata?

SJ
Sandeep Jain Posted On : October 7th, 2021
Studied at Indian Statistical Institute

If you are going for a Master’s degree just for the sake of getting good pay, then don't, it'll be a waste of your 2 precious years. Let me give you an overview: 

  • M.Tech will not fetch you a 6-digit salary in an instant unless you are placed in a top company like Google. 
  • If you're interested in going for M.Tech in CS then plan ahead- see what is asked in the ISI exam. You will find that it's mostly the B.Sc level Math.

If you are in Kolkata, then definitely go to ISI. There's a bookstore behind the college, it has a Math book especially for the ISI entrance test. You may buy and prep from that.

What are some tips for getting into an Indian premier institute like IIM Ahmedabad, XLRI etc.?

AR
Ahana Roy Posted On : May 6th, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (2016)

To get into the most popular business school in our country, you must first appear in CAT for IIMs and for other institutes while XAT for XLRI. To get a call, you must get at least 70 percentile in each section and more than 80 percentile on the CAT.

CAT cutoff goes up to 99.8, and a general candidate with an 80 percentile score has a very small chance of getting in. If you have a bachelor's degree in medicine, law, or the arts and got at least 90 in 10th and 12th grade, more than 75 in graduation, or were in the top 10% of your field, IIM A may call you around 85 percentile.

If you want to get into B.Com, you need 96+ and the above-mentioned academics. Engineering graduates who appear in the CAT get the best score in the stream from which they have majored. There is a very small chance of getting a call below 99. For an engineering graduate, getting a call from IIMA means scoring 99.5+ on the CAT, getting 90+ in 10th and 12th grade, and getting 85+ in college.

Last, I would say that IIM Ahmedabad gives a lot of weight to academic diversity and academic success in the past. So, if you didn't do well in school or college, you won't get a call from IIM A. Don't let that get you down. Instead, study hard for the CAT and do your best. One can still get into schools like IIM C, IIM K, FMS, and MDI, which give CAT scores a lot more weight. There are many other good B-schools that you can get into with 90/95+ percentile.

Other than CAT score your GDPI performance, previous academics, diversity, and work experience also play a role in the final selection.
