Currently, I applied for Mba and planned to study for SSC CGL along with Mba. I contacted some coaching centres but they only start their classes only after call-offer is announced officially. So, I decided to start self-study. What are the essential ones for self study and complete it?

pdwords Student Expert 29th Jul, 2021

Hello,

The recruitment of SSC CGL is done in four levels as mentioned below-

Tier I which is MCQs based conducted for a duration of two hours with 25 questions from each section such as English Language/General Awareness/General Intelligence and Reasoning/Quantitative Aptitude carrying 100 questions for 200 marks,

Tier II is also MCQs based test of English and Mathematics these two papers are compulsory for all posts, in case of JSO Statistics is applicable, and for  AAO the paper of General Studies(Economics & Finance) is applicable, all the papers individually carry 200 marks.

Tier III is descriptive test conducted in offline mode in English/Hindi for precis/letter writing/essay/application etc for 100 marks out of which 33% is the qualifying scores, it's conducted for one hour.

Tier IV: Computer Based Test/Skill Based Test/Document Verification

Interview isn't part of the recruitment process of SSC CGL anymore,

First step towards preparation of any exam is being acquainted with its syllabus, so you can download the syllabus from SSC website and take a print out, go through it, as it will help you to comprehend what to read and what to skip.

Next, comes the importance of study materials, always keep it minimal, regular practice and revision is the key here, you through the following recommended books-

  • For the section of Quant, you can refer Quicker Maths by M Tyra/ Fast Track Arithmetic by Arihant Publications /Quantitative Aptitude by RS Agarwal
  • For section of the English, you can refer General English by SP Bakshi or Plinth to Paramount, Wren and Martin is the best book for grammar and Word Power Made Easy is great for vocabulary section.
  • For the section of Reasoning, you may refer RS Agarwal Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning, Analytical Reasoning by MK Pandey
  • For General Awareness, Lucent's GK is is best option for static portion and when it comes to dynamic part, it's best you read newspaper on a daily basis such as The Hindu or The Indian Express, going through this will help you acquaint with latest happening and you don't have to mug up everything at the last moment.

Make a timetable, according assign number of hours to each subject, for instance, you can practice the mock papers in the weekends after five days of study, this way you can evaluate your progress as well.

SSC often repeats question, so going through previous year paper is must, this will help you in getting well acquainted with exam pattern, important topics, difficulty level of paper, marking scheme, evaluate your preparation level, you can access the same at https://competition.careers360.com/articles/ssc-cgl-question-papers

You can find free mock papers available at various competitive exam sites, use them effectively, through consistent practice it'll help you know you discover your areas of strength and weakness

Test series are highly recommended, as this exam is in online mode, unless an aspirant has good time management and has fair idea of what to attempt and what to skip, it will become a difficult task to handle.

Are 4:30 mins sufficient for neet self study a day

siddharthabiswas609 16th Jul, 2021

Yes 4;30 mins is enough for self study unless you get distracted in your phone or any other things.

i will recommend not to study  for a specific time limit, study for as much possible as you can and always make sure you study more than 3-4hrs that will help you to get adjust and once you catch a flow in self-studying, time won't be a factor.

overall 4;30mins is absolutely sufficient for self-study a day

I am a 11th standard science student, and my aim is to become an IFS officer. How should I motivate myself to crack UPSC CSE and become an IFS officer?

pdwords Student Expert 24th Aug, 2021

Hello,

First of all the eligibility criteria for appearing in Indian Forest Service is passed Bachelor's degree having studied any one of the subjects amidst Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Science, Botany, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics, Physics, Statistics and Zoology or a Bachelor's degree in Agriculture/Forestry/ Engineering , if you wish to appear for IFS then you should have graduation in any of the aforementioned discipline as per your preference, next you're still in 11th standard, so there are still 4-5 years to go depending upon the duration of your graduation, see this exam is highly competitive, and you're still young, you may want to appear for this exam that's a good thing, but it's important to sustain the motivation, and for that you need to be extremely clear about your career goals, since this is a long journey it takes a minimum of two years in the sense you'll be preparing for one whole year, and the entire examination of prelims, mains and interview happen over a period of one year, so you need to have single minded focus, dedication and perseverance to qualify this exam, at this point I will suggest focus only on your studies, and once you enter college try to dedicate yourself in knowing this exam, such as go through syllabus to learn it by heart, this will enable you to understand what to read, what to skip, develop the habit of newspaper reading this is crucial from the point of view of prelims/mains/interview, and you shouldn't stop this habit ever, next start off with NCERT and then move towards other standard books, further go through previous year papers, apply mock tests on regular basis to analyze yourself in terms of preparation level, and practice answer writing in advance, these are some of the general overview I've mentioned in regards to preparation of the exam, but as I said your priority at this time should be your studies, focus on it whole-heartedly, and you can appear for IFS even after  completion of graduation, see there are many aspirant coming from diverse fields in some cases they also have relevant years  of experiences in their domain, in case your goals regarding UPSC isn't clear you can explore that sphere of work as well.

In the school level, we are generally not taught the kind of questions they ask. So, in order to get a good college the candidate needs to give the preparation some extra time and attention. You can institutions for the preparation of the same as they also guide you on how to attempt the paper and complete it within the time or you can refer some YouTube channels for the preparation of the same. Solving previous years paper is very beneficial.

Can an Aspirant crack NIFT by doing self study??????? (without any Intitutes or coaching)!

Rishika Dutta 13th Jul, 2021

Hello Ayesha,

First of all,let me tell you that everything can be achieved by on own practice and hardwork. But, it also requires proper guidance and coaching under professionals.

So,if you are planning to crack the examination with self study then you may go for it,but it would be more effective and beneficial if you get in touch with a coach.

The experienced individuals would introduce more new terms and provide you with the latest,which you might not be able to achieve by your own. You also get a better understanding about the COMPETITION, more properly going around in the particular field or stream.

I hope you understood my point.

All the best.

NEET ug is the only gate way exam In India to admission in health science courses like mbbs, bds, bams, bhms etc. however since this is an entrance test it is tricky and are harder compare to board exam papers. generally in board exams questions are to the point and brief in nature. but neet ug is totally mcq based test. total score in pcb is 720. there is 45 question in physics and 45 no of questions in chemistry. biology has the highest weightage with 90 questions. however you need to have basic concepts very clear and must practice ample number of mcq test. so if you enrolled for any tuition particularly for neet ug, it would help you to stay focused for particularly neet ug exam. you may bring a good score by self study also, if you have the notes , practice papers and can manage the time for preparation.

careers360 has online coaching for neet ug which offers online video tutorial, doubt solving, practice papers, solved previous years papers, mock test etc. do follow the below link to know in details:
