How do I prepare for the IIM Indore IPM Aptitude test and personal interview? What books should I refer to prepare for IPM-AT? What is the syllabus for the Aptitude Test?

HN

Studied at Integrated Programme in Management, IIM Indore (Graduated 2021)

Frankly, the preparation tips for the IIM Indore IPM Aptitude test and personal interview are best understood from a student who's been through the process recently, not a coaching instructor or institute.

The aptitude test to interview score ratio is 60:40. The study material for the course can't really help you much. Sharpen your math skills if they are lacking. It's a must because quant is a stress if your math skills aren't up to par. The computer provides you with a calculator, but it can only perform basic addition and subtraction. If you are proficient in English, verbal is simple. No point in opening the dictionary to figure out new words or trying to mug them up. Read the papers and any classic literature you can get your hands on. The rest would probably work out. The majority of the reading was at the CBSE level. Your reading speed is the only potential stumbling block. Reading newspapers will also help you if you are chosen for the interview. The term "electronic commerce" refers to the sale of electronic goods. Also, the break between the test and interview is a good time to brush up on your class 12 syllabus.

The one thing to remember is to never lie. They'll see right through you, and trouble may be on the way. Presentation is essential. Don't be scared to ask for a little time to ponder upon a question, but don't be overconfident.

The key is self-assurance. After all, the panelists and the test are only attempting to assess the breadth of your knowledge, your self-awareness, and the goals you wish to achieve. Don't compare yourself with others or think of the multitude of kids trying their luck too. You will succeed there if you are aware that IIM IPM is where your heart truly lies.

Why is the syllabus of CUSAT University considered to be the most rigorous compared to other universities in Kerala?

SG
Satadru Ghosh Posted On : July 22nd, 2021
Studied at Cochin University (2019)

CUSAT is one of the known Universities in Kochi and known for its culture for its strict curriculum and fests and clubs.

Now as you asked for the syllabus particularly, it is much vast and it digs deep into the topic. As per the students here, you have to study more for any topic when compared with other universities.

  • The evaluation process is very strict. You will be required to score at least 45 marks to pass out of 100.
  • Because of this rigorous process, a degree from CUSAT is regarded as more valuable than a degree from other universities.
  • CUSAT cannot be compared with the other universities as it is a scientific University and various researches are going on.

As a national University, it has to keep itself with the level of IITs and NITs. Though, the syllabus is wide in Engineering and evaluation is strict and careless, so marks are hard to come by.

English honors student BA final year

To begin, one must mentally prepare to continue reading newspapers every day and attempting to comprehend editorial opinions and social issues.

What is the syllabus for 1st semester in NLU Delhi?

RG
Rakesh Gupta Posted On : September 10th, 2021
B.A.LLB The Constitution of India, National Law University, Delhi (2020)

My elder sister is from this institute, so I think I can answer your question.

Legal Methods is the most difficult of the five subjects you'll study in the first semester. It covers a wide range of issues, including summary writing, finding ratio and obiter dictum, and legislative interpretation. You can read the article “The Case of the Speluncean Explorers” if you want. It's pointless to read the other materials before attending college lectures because the paper is purely application-based. Every year, entirely new excerpts are picked up for the paper. 

You can read the first 3–4 chapters of Ratanlal and Dhirajlal for Torts. After a few lectures, you'll figure out the rest.

The syllabus for the other disciplines is primarily lecture and module-based, so there's no use in doing anything ahead of time. However, for Pol Sc, any material on theorists such as Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau would be helpful.
