Which exam is much tougher IBPS PO or IBPS SO?
The answer to this question is which exam is much tougher IBPS PO or IBPS SO, vary from candidate to candidate and even there are factors like competition, specialization and knowledge which decides the success in both exams. Any graduate candidate can apply for IBPS PO, but for IBPS SO a candidate needs to have specialization in particular fields for which they are applying.
There are a huge number of applications received every year for IBPS PO and generally a candidate is placed in fields like Planning, Credit, Operations,Administration etc after clearing IBPS Po. Whereas IBPS SO candidates after clearing the exams posted in specific fields like IT officer for IT Department, Agriculture Officer for Rural Department and vice versa.
The reason behind higher competition in IBPS PO is due to these reasons -
- In order to get the post of SO a candidate compulsorily need to have a specific Educational degree in fields like IT, MBA or Agriculture etc. due to specific requirements of this particular job. But for PO only graduation is required which simply increases competition in PO and attracts more candidates to apply for the same.
- There are a limited number of seats for SO which is upto higher levels only. While for IBPS PO the opportunities are infinite in different sectors which includes banking as well. That’s why candidates prefer to clear IBPS PO and explore the endless career opportunities.
So both IBPS SO and IBPS PO are exams of the same level, the only difference is the candidate's interest in it. Full dedication, hard work, right guidance and better preparation can help candidates clear both the exams with ease be it IBPS PO or IBPS SO.
What is the difficulty level of GATE papers when set by IISc Bangalore?
No single institution sets the GATE papers. A group of professors from different IITs, NITs, and IISc Bangalore set the paper. Each year an institution gets the responsibility of selecting the professors for question paper setting. This institution also looks after other administration-related work.
I would suggest you practice the previous 10-20 years’ question papers. Also, do not try to assess the difficulty level of the upcoming GATE exam by looking at the previous years’ trends, as it will not help.
Practice well for your GATE exam and make a note that GATE papers will not be set solely by IISc Bangalore or any one institution.
What do I do to crack the NIMHANS entrance exam for a post graduation in neurosurgery?
For post MBBS direct MCh/ DM neurology and MD Psychiatry courses, NIMHANS conducts an online entrance exam consisting of MCQs.
- A common entrance exam is conducted for all courses and later on a separate merit list for each course is released which means you have to opt for the course while applying or you can apply for all of them or either of the two courses.
- The test is for 2 hours with 150 MCQs. There is negative marking in the examination. Approximately 90 to 100 questions are from 19 MBBS subjects. The difficulty level is medium. The questions are selected from guidebooks.
- The rest of the 50 to 60 questions are related to CNS so prepare for the neuro aspect of all major subjects viz Anat, Physio, Medicine Psychiatry, Surgery Patho, etc. With the preparation of the last 10 to 15 days, these questions are solvable
- NIMHANS paper is overall easy compared to AIPGME and AIIMS but since the number of seats is very less, the margin of error for silly mistakes is very low.
The key to get through is by reading all subjects till the last 10 days to the exam and later focusing on the neurology part. This ensures that your preparation level would be optimum on exam day.
I missed my IGNOU assignment dates and the exams for the last session. Can I appear for the next session without reapplying?
You will receive the study material once you have enrolled in the year (first, second, or any as per the course) with the list of subjects. You are already aware of this.
IGNOU accepts assignments twice a year, which is required to take the course exam that session. Once in May and once in September. For the assignment, the exams are in June-July and December, respectively.
Every set of assignments for any subject (check the title page of the pdf file) is valid for one year. If you missed the exams in May, you can retake them in December if you submitted the same set in September.
If you missed the December exam as well, you must complete and submit a new set of assignments. Every new year, a new set is released; it is up to you to decide when he or she can take the exams and thus fill out the exam form after submitting the assignments on time. Please refer to the assignment title page to double-check the dates for that specific year.

Which exam is tougher: VITEEE, the JEE Main or the BITSAT?
JEE Mains is the most difficult, followed by BITSAT and VITEEE, respectively. Every year, millions of students appear in JEE Main. While the number of seats available in old IIT and NIT is somewhere around 30,000. So, the selection ratio is around 0.025. This is why JEE Main is the most difficult compared to BITSAT and VITEEE. The video below compares the top Engineering Entrance Exams
Overall, BITSAT is easier than JEE Main, but the time constraint is a major challenge. VITEEE is the simplest out of these three and easier to score good marks.
What should I prepare for: IAS or IES?
You should prepare for IES. This will be a shock to you since most people will suggest the same. Here’s why –
- It is easier to qualify for IES when compared to IAS. There’s more chance of qualifying it even in the first attempt. Whereas, there are many students who are brilliant and hardworking that aren’t able to qualify for IAS. It requires more patience.
- IES syllabus is very close to the engineering syllabus, making it easier to grasp and understand.
- You don’t need to have excellent writing skills or sharp memory to have an edge over other competitors.
- Even if you fail in IES, there still will be an option to give GATE and get into PSUs. With IAS, there is no backup plan if you fail to qualify.
- When you are preparing for IES you are basically preparing an optional subject for IAS as well. So in future, if you want to prepare for IAS you will have an optional subject ready along with a job.
You have a choice between good with a high probability of selection and better with a low probability of selection. So going for the option that has the maximum probability of selection along with a backup plan in case of a failure is a better choice.

How can I crack the JIPMER exam?
The pattern usually followed in JIPMER is quite different from what is generally seen in NEET or AIIMS. Prior to taking the exam, you should become acquainted with the pattern of the exam.

Here are some recommendations you should know, as per following a book.
- 16 years of JIPMER exam solved papers by Arihant. It can help you in understanding the concepts of the questions
- NCERT Text Books.
- It is best to follow D.C.Pandey Objective Physics for Medical Entrance, for physics.
- R.C. Mukherjee is best for the Physical section of Chemistry.
- For organic chemistry, you can follow O.P. Tandon
- For inorganic, you should be extremely familiar with NCERT itself.
- For Biology, Trueman's Publication is one of the best choices.

Solving a total of 200 questions within almost 150 minutes is unbelievably difficult, yet with practice, it is quite probable that you can ace it. For similar issues, it is best to solve Biology in the first go, while keeping English as the second option. Following both, you should complete Chemistry and physics. The last section you should take hold of should be Logical Reasoning.
