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.

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.

I am very poor in general knowledge and I have to know a much about reasoning and legal aptitude but specially in case of general knowledge I am very poor. Next year I am going to appear CLAT what will I do?

pdwords Student Expert 21st Mar, 2020
Hello,

The best way to learn general knowledge is to read any newspaper on a daily basis, the biggest advantage you've got right now is ample amount of time, so you can choose The Hindu because it's mostly preferred by aspirants for various competitive exams, getting used to Hindu might take time because of the kind of language and vocabulary it uses is by people who're highly qualified in their respective fields, but it's definitely the top preference, you can also go for The Indian Express. See, the best thing about daily newspaper reading is you'll be acquainted with every news economics,business,international etc so you don't have to mug up loads of questions when examination will be near. There are lot of websites which offer General Knowledge MCQs on a daily basis,it's best that after reading newspaper you go through that, in that sense you'll able to know how much information you're gripping.

For aptitude,it's best you get your concepts clear first,so it's important to know your syllabus very well and start from the basic. Then onwards,only way to excel is practice and practice.

hi,

for general knowledge I suggest you to read bankers adda and any good gk book of banking exam, also you may brush up your knowledge of science subjects of 10th course for static gk problems. see only two or three week preparation you can not crack any exam with good score and ranking, since covid 19 many of the exams is delayed and it left quite a good time for preparation. I suggest you to follow iim ipmat exam books which has good number of questions,

IIM IPMAT Preparation Guide by Stalwart Career Institute
