Which is harder JIPMER or AIIMS entrance?
AIIMS and JIPMER are two of the most prestigious institutions in India that conduct independent medical entrance exams.
The difficulty level of the exams depends on the level of questions and the availability of seats.
- For those who can work effectively in a short period of time, JIPMER may be the easier option, while AIIMS demands longer periods of concentration.
- Calculations will not be lengthy in JIPMER, but there will be lengthy calculations in AIIMS.
- Luck is a factor in both exams, but blind guessing is not advisable in AIIMS due to its higher negative marking. JIPMER has lower negative markings and maybe a better option for those who can hold back from guessing.
- AIIMS Delhi has fewer seats than JIPMER, but considering all AIIMSs increases the chances of admission.
- The question pattern in AIIMS is similar to a less difficult model of JEE Advanced, with paragraph-like questions that require patience. JIPMER has simple questions that require speed and accuracy.
- Biology questions in JIPMER may be more random, while analytical thinking of NCERT is required in AIIMS.
- An upper hand in genetics may be advantageous for AIIMS, but it does not count as much in JIPMER.
Explain concepts to others to solidify understanding and improve chances of success. Keep working hard, and the best will happen.

What is the difference between AFCAT and EKT?
If you wish to get into the technical branch of the Air Force you'd have to crack the Engineering Knowledge Test also known as EKT. It is mandatory. For non-technical, flying, and technical posts, the most popular choice of graduates is the AFCAT exam.
The following points can help you in a better way to understand the difference between both exams:
- The AFCAT EKT tests you on Engineering. The questions included are based on different branches and the area of your specialization.
- All questions are structured to test your understanding.
- Both the exams are in online mode and the EKT exam is scheduled after the AFCAT exam.
- You will have to clear the AFCAT and EKT both if you want to work on the ground in technical departments; for the rest only AFCAT is compulsory.

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.

How many students are expected to write the KVPY exam to get into IISC Bangalore?
Firstly, KVPY is not the entrance exam of IISc Bangalore but a scholarship examination for students. IISc Bangalore itself does not have any admission test and admissions are given to top rankers in entrance exams like KVPY, JEE, and NEET. So everyone getting a KVPY scholarship is not offered admission to IISc.
One of my friends gave the KVPY exam in 2013–14 for the SA stream. In her selection letter, it was mentioned that 1,05,000 had written the KVPY exam for all streams. Today, it has gained more fame so the figures are expected to be at 1,20,000 and 1,50,000.
However, I don’t think you should be worrying about that yet because the selections are not limited to a specific number and keep increasing with the increase in those appearing for the exam. So, everyone who deserves this scholarship does get it.
