Hello aspirant,

Yes, you have a fair chance of getting the new IIT's. However, I would suggest getting a score of 55+. You should aim for a high score in GATE, as it increases the chances of getting good marks and helps prepare w ell for the exam.

Usually, for civil engineering, or to pursue Mtech in any civil engineering branch a rank below 2000 is good to get into IIT's but if you are targeting top IITs"s then anything below 500 will help you.

Additionally, you could also check the previous year cut off trends

Hello,

It's good that you are thinking of appearing in UPSC Civil Service Exam from your college period itself, to give you a brief about the exam, UPSC Civil Service Exam consists of three stages-

Preliminary : First Stage is MCQs based exam, it has two papers and each one consists of 200 marks, its numbers ain't added to final list, you just need to score the required cut offs against your category.

First is GS Paper-I which consists of the following topic such as History of India and Indian national movement, Indian and World geography, Economic and social development- sustainable development, poverty,inclusion demographics, social sector initiatives etc,Indian polity and governance-constitution,political system,Current Events nationally and Internationally, General Science,General Issues on environmental ecology,biodiversity and climate change. you just need to score the required cut offs against your category.

Second Paper is CSAT which is qualifying by nature,you need to score merely 33% which is 66 marks out of 200, it includes following topics such as basic numeracy, comprehension, logical reasoning and analytical ability, general mental ability, decision making and problem solving, interpersonal skills including communication skills.

Mains : This is a second stage which it's more of a subjective type, you are required to write answers for Four General Studies Paper such as

• GS-I includes Indian Heritage and Culture,History and Geography of the World and Society,
• GS-II includes Governance, Constitution, Polity, Social Justice and International Relations,
• GS-III includes Technology, Economic Development, Bio-Diversity, Environment, Security and Disaster Management,
• GS-IV includes Ethics, Integrity, and Aptitude
• Two Optionals,
• One Essay,
• Two Language Paper

In total there are nine papers in Mains, and each paper is of 250 marks, total adds up to 1750 marks.

Interview: Prelims and Mains are further followed by personality test of 275 marks.

In order to initiate your preparation, the first and most important step is to be well acquainted with UPSC Syllabus , learn it by heart as this will enable you to know what to read and what to skip. As per the recent trends UPSC is framing Prelims questions also based on Mains syllabus, so have an integrated approach in that sense.

To cover such a humongous syllabus you will have to make a timetable, set targets on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, that's the only way to complete this extensive syllabus.

Newspaper reading is equally vital part of preparation, you can start with any newspaper like The Hindu, or Indian Express on a regular basis to be updated as well as gaining knowledge which shall be highly useful to you in future exam preparation part. Put a more emphasis on editorial part, it will not only broaden your perspective but help a lot in answer writing, and make sure whatever opinion you form it should be well balanced. You can also make notes of this, it'll be very useful in answer writing, put emphasis on news of national and international importance, polity, government scheme, economics, science and technology developments etc.

When it comes to reading books ,start with basics, for each subject, you can do with NCERTs for this. This will build your foundation strong, as you progress, move on to other relevant books as mentioned below;

For Prelims, you can refer the following books:

History ;

• NCERT Class XI and XII
• India's Struggle for Independence by Bipin Chandra
• For Indian Culture, refer art and culture by Nitin Singhania

Geography ;

• NCERT Class VI to XII
• GC Leong's Physical Geography
• World Atlas

Economics ;

• NCERT Class XI
• Indian Economy by Ramesh Singh

International Relations & Polity ;

• NCERT XII Political Science with current affairs
• Indian Polity by Laxmikanth

CSAT ;

• Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning by RS Agarwal
• M Tyra's Quicker Maths

Coming to Mains Exam, you can refer the following books for four General Studies Paper;

• GS I - For History , Class XI NCERT book with India's struggle for Independence by Bipin Chandra,India after Independence by Bipan Chandra,History of Medieval India by Satish Chandra . For Geography refer World Geography and Geography of India by Majid Hussain, GC Leong's Physical and Human Geography with NCERT Class XI book.
• For GS II - Polity and International Relations , refer Indian Polity by Lamikanth,India's Foreign Policy by Rajiv Sikri
• For GS III - For Economics refer Indian Economy by Ramesh Singh, read ARC report along with Economic Survey and Fiscal Budget.
• For GS IV - For Ethics refer a book named Lexicon by Niraj Kumar, also you can go through study material of IGNOU.

Remember to keep your resources minimal, read one book many a times instead of many a book one time, as you have to retain so much of information so rely on only limited yet trustworthy resources and revision is the only key for remembrance.

Writing mains is a huge task, for nine paper it requires immense practice along with knowledge. So, you have to start practicing answer writing in advance, even in a little way, There are many sites which provide questions on daily basis you can avail that. Try to give a holistic viewpoint while answer writing by providing political, economical and social aspect. You can get topper's answer sheet from various sites, try to analyze and study them minutely, you'll get an ideas about what to write, how to express and present viewpoint in organized manner.

Practice previous year question paper which you can get from the site of UPSC ,in addition mock papers, and test series which you can get it from any of the sites exclusively dedicated to UPSC, it's highly important to evaluate your performance while doing so.

As you're still in your college, initiate your preparation by reading newspaper on a daily basis, and NCERTs book and go through the syllabus on a regular basis, and then later on move towards other stuffs as discussed above.

Hello aspirant,

Though you did good in the written exam, but at a place like IIT-BBSR, a interview if you have had done well would have opened the gates to let you have your admission. Since your interview went totally wrong and was at a state of no-no balance, it will certainly lead you to get rejected. A bad interview will ultimately take you towards the rejection. Had you had prepared well, this day you would not have seen.  If the admission committee is wavering on an applicant, a bad interview will get you rejected. So getting into IIT-BBSR is an absolute No if your interview went wrong totally.

Hope, it helps you.

Hey there

The candidates must have secured at least 75% marks in total in your class 12 or the candidate should be at least in the top 20 percentile in the 12th Class Examination conducted by respective boards in your college and then JEE Marks will be considered for further evaluation of the candidate

Hello aspirant,

My opinion is that you can choose any one college between IIT Ropar and IIT Jodhpur because among the college list given by you the above two colleges are best to pursue CSE course. These two IIT'S have similar rating they are aligned with top MNC and e-commerce companies. The highest CTC is 40Lpa for both IIT'S.

These two IIT'S have good academics, excellent faculty and good placements.

If you are unable to choose among the above two IIT'S, then I prefer to IIT Jodhpur.

Choice us yours

Good luck.

Helllo,

These both colleges have a higher ranking like IIT bhubaneshwar with 22 and IIT Dhanbad as 12th, but IIT bhubaneshwar has lower fees of Rs 8.45 lakhs as compared to IIT dhanbad with Rs 10.12 lakhs.

IIT bhubaneshwar also has higher median salary package offered of Rs 9 lakhs per annum and IIT dhanbad has lower median salary offered of Rs 8.50 lakhs.

So if we consider fees and salary important you must go with IIT bhubaneshwar.
