Are supplementary exams tougher from regular exams in an MBBS. I am going to write the exams this month, and my college is affiliated from RGUHS Bangalore. How strict will the marking be?

No, supplementary exams are not tougher than normal papers. Some out of the syllabus questions come in exams. But that is not something to worry about. 

  • Prepare from the question papers of the previous 10 years. 
  • Proper hard work and dedication are necessary to score good marks.
  • The markings depend on the teachers who check the paper. 
  • Some teachers give good marks because they know that students are under pressure during exams but have worked hard enough. 
  • But some teachers check the paper very strictly, ending up with average scores.
  • The marking is something that is out of your control. You can only prepare well for the exam so focus on only that.
  • Try writing good answers, neat diagrams, and stay on topic.
  • Simplify your language.

For exams, time management is also essential. Do not put all your time into finishing one question. During practice, solve the previous year’s question papers in the given time to get accustomed to the pattern. This will help you complete the exam without any difficulty.

Is GATE easy or IIT JEE?

AM
Akriti Mauriya Posted On : May 17th, 2022
CSE from Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad, India

Both GATE and IIT JEE are difficult. The selection rate is comparably less for IIT JEE, as millions of students take the examination each year. 

In GATE, you will appear for your branch of study, so it is easier in that respect. But scoring well is difficult, especially for branches like CSE, EEE, etc. 

In terms of syllabus, IIT JEE covers more subjects. Although the number of subjects is less in GATE, you need to have in-depth knowledge to score under 1000. 

Overall, GATE has a less competitive environment, but it has its fair share of difficulties.

How is Karunya University's entrance examination for a B.Tech?

SB
Shruti Banerjee Posted On : September 22nd, 2021
Studied at Karunya University

The entrance examination of Karunya University is not at all tough to crack. You just need to be thorough with the class 12th syllabus. General ethics might create a bit of a problem because of insufficient data, apart from that it is very easy. My brother wrote the test in 2016 and scored 326.

The selection process of the university is quite lenient. Try to secure a rank below 500, and you are good to go. There is nothing to panic about the test.

During the admission process, based on ranks the students are called. If you have a rank above 1200 then you might not get the department of your choice.

Which book is better for studying pharmacology for the MUHS University exams KD Tripathi or Shanbag?

AD
Anamika Dasgupta Posted On : October 27th, 2021
MBBS from Maharashtra University of Health Sciences

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 Karunya university entrance examination difficult?

RD
Rupanjali Dasgupta Posted On : September 15th, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering & Digital Marketing ,Karunya University (2017)

The entrance examination conducted by Karunya University is not that difficult. My friend scored 80 marks in the JEE Main examinations. The syllabus includes a few additional topics that are not included in the curriculum of classes 11th and 12th in the Indian education system.

He attempted the examination and started with the section of mathematics. After he attempted a few questions from the mathematics sections, he moved to the physics section. He was not able to crack the solutions for many of the questions from the section of physics. However, He still kept trying and successfully solved around 70 percent of the questions from Physics. For his set, the section of Chemistry was extremely difficult. He attempted 50% of the questions from the Chemistry section. 

The next section he attempted was of logical reasoning. He solved all the questions from this section leaving out around 1-2 questions. Then he continued his examination with the Ethics section. He answered 2 questions out of 10 and from them one was a guess.

He found the examination to be pretty easy. He later found out from someone that only students who have secured a rank above 1000 in the examination would be considered for the admission process of the university.

What are the main topics to cover for IIM Indore IPM entrance exam?

IB
Indrani Bhattacharjee Posted On : August 31st, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Indore (2020)

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.

Which is better: JEE or BITSAT?

TJ
Tanvi Jaipuriar Posted On : February 27th, 2023
Economics Lecturer (2016–present)

Comparing competitive exams or choosing one over the other is a very illogical thing to do. The entire agenda behind a competitive exam is to build your knowledge and test you on the basis of the same. So unless you defer from gaining the right set of knowledge, any competitive exam will bear the same result.

I have a very effective technique to tackle this issue. Prepare in such a way that you are appearing for JEE Advanced. This is because the course and structure of Advanced are such that once you are ready to clear that, you can clear every other exam too. This means your focus will not be divided and all you can do is focus on one exam.

Keep focusing on the preparation for JEE Advanced and when your BITSAT is around the corner start solving mock tests to improve your speed. Prepare additionally for English and Logical Reasoning questions. BITSAT focuses more on your speed than the clarity of your concepts. So a mere preparation of 3 months before BITSAT is more than enough provided that your concepts are clear from JEE Advanced preparation.

So instead of choosing one single exam, prepare for JEE Advanced and target both as the future is unpredictable.

Which exam is tougher: VITEEE, the JEE Main or the BITSAT?

DB
Diksha Banerjee Posted On : May 16th, 2022
B.Tech Computer Science Engineering & Quantum Machine Learning, Amity University (2021)

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. 

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 is the difference between the syllabus of the BITSAT and the JEE?

AG
Arshi Gupat Posted On : June 29th, 2022
B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IIT KGP)

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 it possible to prepare govt exams with parallel M.Sc Chemistry at Acharya Nagarjuna University? Please give suggestions about time management.

CS
Chestha Singh, Posted On : October 30th, 2021
M.Sc. Chemistry, University of Mysore (2020)

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.
