Questions related to Osmania University, Hyderabad
How many I should score in Ts eamcet to get seat in CSE branch in Osmania University? As per previous years cut-off..!
Dear aspirant,
As far as ts EAMCET is concerned every year the number of students and the quality of students varies so it can't be predicted accurately for which a student shoud score to get cse branch in Osmania University.
But as per previous years, the cut off for cse branch was high and you have to be under 500 rank to be on a safer side. As the paper consists of 160 questions and the total marks is 160 so as per my view you need to score atleast above 100 to get a decent rank.

I got accepted into IGNOU in MA Political science and also got admission in Osmania University MA public administration. Which one to prefer and which University has better value? Is the degree valid if I pursue both at the same time?
Hello Aspirant,
Both IGNOU and Osmania University holds a good reputation and recognition in India hence degrees obtained from the same will hold value. Here , you should take decision based on your future plan or requirements. It is to be decided based on your intention to whether get the degree through distance mode or regular mode. If you are expecting immediate career opportunities , even though distance programs holds value , common choice would be regular. If you are already working then correspondence/distance course would be convenient .The second point to consider is that political Science is a much diverse and complicated field in comparison to public Administration. Public administration is a sub field of political science,so you should decide according to your needs. Also it is not permitted to do a a regular or distance course in another university while doing a course from IGNOU so the answer to your second question is no.

Dear aspirant
Every state has its unique process of registration into the bar council. Once the registration is completed the candidate has to clear the All India Bar Examination (AIBE). The exam is conducted by the Bar Council of India, and the candidate gets the certificate of practice upon clearing the exam. The test is conducted to assesses the basic analytical capabilities and knowledge of the law.
A person shall be qualified to be enrolled as an advocate if he fulfills the following conditions:
(a) He is a citizen of India. Provided that a national of any other country can also practice only if Indians are allowed to practice in that other country;
(b) He has attained the age of 21 years;
(c) He has completed his bachelors in law;
(d) He has paid the required stamp duty, which is chargeable under the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 and an enrolment fee payable to the State Bar Council. He has to pay six hundred rupees to The State Bar Council and one hundred and fifty rupees to the Bar Council of India. If such person is a Schedule Caste or Schedule Tribe then he has to pay one hundred rupees to the State Bar Council and twenty-five rupees to the Bar Council of India.
Once an advocate passes the Bar examination, he/she receives a Certificate of Practice
All the best
