Dear Aspirant,

As not much more time left for Jee mains January attempt so I will ausugge you to focus on your revision and hand made notes. Follow the NCERT and do previous year question papers.

Feel confident and have positive vibes in you that this time you will secure rank under 3k . Have faith in you.

Best of luck!

First of all, A Big Congratulations to you for securing a decent percentile. I hope you are satisfied with your percentile, I am proceeding forward with my answer.

This list contains a list of decent colleges which you will get with your percentile and by decent, I mean which will fetch you a job of 7-10 lpa job at the end of the 2 years.

The list is not exhaustive and there are several other colleges which can give you calls too.

Next, what you need to do is to get yourself gear up your preparation for Group Discussion, Case Discussions, Written Ability Test and Personal Interviews. The following four things won’t be followed all together. Some colleges may have only WAT & PI. Others may follow other ways of selection. For Group Discussions, you should be good at speaking in English. Beside your communication skills, you should be noted on your eye contacts and your ability to moderate a GD. For Case Analysis, try to get some idea on “SWOT & PESTEL” analysis which will add you some brownie points. For WAT & PI, read newspapers daily and having a quick writing habit.

Another thing that you need to keep in mind that if you are not going for a dedicated specialisation from the very first year, then try to do an initial reading on the basics of Marketing, Finance, Operations, Analytics and Human Resources. Though you will be going through each and every introductory courses in detail when you will join any program but if you need to get an upper hand, you need to prepare before hand. If you are an engineering graduate, try to learn the basics of accounting and economics before joining as that will be helpful for you to compete with your commerce peers who have joined the same curriculum.

Though you still have the option of giving CAT another shot and there has been multiple instances where the scores and percentiles have drastically improved. So if you are sure enough and determined to get into IIMs or any other Tier 1 B-School, then I would suggest you to go for CAT again. You have a clear base and building onto that would be much easier where you can just practice as many mocks mocks as possible.  However, you can also go for other exams like TISS-NET, SNAP, CMAT etc where you can also get very good colleges with a very high percentile.

I hope I have answered your query. All the best!!!

Hi Nikita,

I would ask you to calm down. as there as very less days left for the examination, you should not try to do anything new but instead, thoroughly revise whatever you have already studies. You can also use our B.Tech. Companion program for mock test and sample MCQ-type questions for some last-minute practice:

Hi Neha

Yes , you can pursue MSc Microbiology after BSC Biotechnology. MSc Microbiology is a postgraduate course for duration of 2 years. It is the chemistry and biology for the investigation of the living systems and the relationship with the environment.

Only  college of Varanasi you can apply for MSc Microbiology :

Banaras Hindu University

It has its own entrance exam i.e. BHU Entrance Exam

For preparation of entrance you should be thorough with the knowledge of your 10+2 Physics , Chemistry and Biology and ofcourse your graduation course. You can refere tro the previous exam to learn more about the exam pattern and difficultyt level.

All the best!!

Hope it helps :)

hi,

for semester preparation you should follow the books suggested by you to your college faculty. see gate and semester exam is totally two different type exam, for understanding for basic conceptual part any good text book will be good. gate is numerical question type exam. you need to solve as many of questions for gate. follow the previous years paper, you will get an idea. schaums series books are best for numerical practice.

Formulae form an integral part of your preparation. Memorise as many formulae as you can and write them down and stick them as post its so that you can always see them. Practise regularly and try various kinds of questions. Solving previous papers and mock tests to test your improvement. Keep a clock and check the time its taking you to solve these questions.
