Hello sir, currently Im persuing b.tech from computer science branch and I want to apply for this form, from where I can prepare for general awareness and general knowledge ?

pdwords Student Expert 23rd Jul, 2020

Hello,

You haven't mentioned about which form you're enquiring about, anyway for general awareness and general knowledge, there are two parts, one is static portion for which you may go through Lucent's GK book/any other standard book in the market, you can also refer sites such as GKToday or alike where content is presented in compiled form catering to different categories. Now, coming to the dynamic portion, the best way to deal with this is to read newspaper on a daily basis, you can choose The Hindu, equally good is Indian Express, or you can go through monthly magazines  like Pratiyogita Darpan, there are many competitive exam sites which offer this information in compiled form for monthly basis, these are sites of banking or upsc exams, you can also refer this in case you don't want to read newspaper on a daily basis, but this is the best option as you don't have to mug up everything at the time of appearing examination, also after going through newspaper, you can go through daily MCQs provided in various sites for revision as well as retaining information.This integrated approach works well, as this is a consistent and gradual way of retaining information.

IMUCET has released in its brochure that there will be no GENERAL KNOWLEDGE section this time in 2020, what will be the new exam pattern with number of questions for each section? thank you

priyaankasarkar Student Expert 3rd Jul, 2020

According to the official website: https://www.imu.edu.in/images/Academic%20Brochure%20-2020-2021%20-%2030.06.2020.pdf , the exam will be for 200 MCQs and the syllabus will be in English, General Aptitude, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as 12th level. For Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, stick to NCERT books of 11th and 12th syllabus. NCERT books will sharpen your basics and you need strong basics for preparing for any entrance examination. Once your basics are in place, because the time period for preparation is quite less, your preparation should be extensive and thorough. For General Aptitude, few topics that you need to cover and practise are: Numbers, HCF and LCM of Numbers, Decimal Fractions, Square Roots and Cube Roots, Average, Problems on Ages, Percentage, Profit and Loss, Ratio and Proportion, Time and Work, Pipes and Cistern, Time and Distance, Problems on Trains, Boats and Streams, Alligation, Simple and Compound Interest, Logarithms, Area, Volume and Surface areas, Calendar, Clocks, Permutation and Combinations, Probability, Reasoning, Sitting Arrangements, Blood relations and Data Interpretation. There is no negative marking. There might be 40 questions in each session. In English section, command on your English, Grammar, Vocabulary, Understanding of the given paragraph are of more importance. Reading English NewsPaper will also help you in your preparation.

I bought Arihant book for preparation of du b.el.ed entrance exam it has reasoning and general knowledge too but these two topics are not in syllabus , is there any syllabus change , I have to study them or not ? I am confused about it !

priyaankasarkar Student Expert 4th Jul, 2020

According to the official syllabus, DU B.El.Ed consists of 100 MCQs in English, Hindi, Social Sciences,Mathematics and Science upto Class 10. There is no General Knowledge and Reasoning topics in the Syllabus. So under English, go for Comprehension and Verbal Ability. If you have already brought the book, we would suggest you to first complete the Subjects and then may be a just a week before the exam, read through the reasoning and General Knowledge just in case if there are questions asked out of syllabus. But mostly they will not be because the official bulletin doesn't mention any Reasoning and General Knowledge as topics in the Entrance examination.
