How can one clear the JNU entrance for MSc biotechnology?
Here are some of the tips from my friends at JNU that can help you score well in the entrance for M.Sc Biotechnology.
- Clear your basics on core subjects like Biochemistry (Enzyme Kinetics, Bio-Energetics), Genetics, Cell-biology.
- Practice probability-related questions. These are quite scoring and there are a good number of questions asked from these topics.
- Ecology and Evolution are the other areas that you should stress. If your undergraduate study included immunology developmental biology then you should revise those topics well.
- Also, practice from previous year’s question papers. Also, try to cover the last 5 years of GATE life science papers.
- Try to do maximum number of questions in both sections of the examination.
There are very few seats available, so prepare sincerely.

If you are interested in Geography and have basic knowledge, it is not difficult to get admission at JNU. The syllabus for the entrance test is the same as that of undergraduate (Hons) in Geography. You can go through the syllabus on the website along with the question papers from the previous years too. It will help you understand how to prepare for the entrance test.
The entrance test consists of 100 marks with objective multiple-choice questions (MCQs). Do not try to attempt all questions. Rather focus on accuracy. Take a calculated risk and try to attempt 80-88% of questions correctly.

Which is better for M.Sc in environmental science DU or JNU?
Both Delhi University and Jawahar Lal Nehru University offer Master's degrees in Environmental Sciences. However, there is a difference in the degree offered, which is primarily due to the approach to the subject. Candidates will be enrolled in the Masters of Environmental Studies programme at Delhi University, while the Environmental Sciences programme at JNU.
The distinction is due to the approach taken in developing the curriculum. Students at Delhi University are taught the socio-economical aspects of environmental sciences in addition to developing an understanding of the subject in the context of physicochemical and biological aspects of the environment (and their interactions). Subjects taught include "social perspectives of environmental studies" and "environmental economics." There is also a Masters in Arts (MA) programme for students with a background in the humanities.
The emphasis at Delhi University is on environmental ecology, pollution sciences, and biotechnology. Remote sensing, conservation sciences, statistics, geology, and environmental impact assessment are among the subjects taught. I believe the emphasis at JNU is more on the scientific aspect of the subject (which somehow seems legitimate since the degree is being offered for Masters in Science). Furthermore, 70-80% of the curriculum is shared by both universities. Though the JNU syllabus is extensive in terms of subjects such as hydrology and the fundamental principles/technical aspects of water and pollution movement.
Can someone guess what is the stark difference between IIT Kharagpur and JNU?
If you are asking about the most distinguishing feature between JNU and IIT Kharagpur then it is the fact that JNU is an Arts institute whereas IIT Kharagpur is a Science and Technology institute.
The students at IIT Kharagpur focus on technology and how to implement it for the benefit of the country. They focus on their own academics and try to bring about scientific developments in society rather than focusing on political issues. The same is the case with the professors at IIT KGP. They are hardly involved in political matters.
However, the scenario at JNU is a bit different and has a political touch to it. JNU has political views with many student bodies of political parties fighting in the elections. Leaving the political aspect, it is still one of the most esteemed Universities in India. Its alumni are spread across the world making huge contributions.

More than 80% of the female students of Patna University and in the colleges under the same like Magadh Mahila College, P Women’s College, PSC, etc. They promote the education of women. Patna University is backed by the state government and is one of the 20 best universities in the country.

For OBC-NCL there is a 10% marks relaxation and for SC/ST/PWD candidates, the minimum pass mark is required. Also, there is no age limit to apply for this course. Looking at your profile and your graduation score of 49.9% does not seem very promising as it does not align with the required criteria. So unless you belong to a reserved category, it is almost impossible for you to get admission to JNU for MCA.
Between JNU and Delhi School Of Economics, which option will be the best to pursue a PhD in economics for an individual?
One of my cousins who did a Ph.D. said that choosing a college clearly depends upon the area of interest you have in mind for the research.
- It would be good if you start researching the professors of the colleges. If their field of expertise matches the field you wanted to opt for, then it’s a win-win situation.
- Well, If we talk about JNU I have been informed by one of my friends who did PhD from JNU that this university focuses on hardcore research. Moreover, it has a good number of professors who have decent experience in research.
- Whereas, DSE offers a master’s program that helps students to apply for corporate jobs. Thus, this institute is quite quantitative for its PG courses.
- Delhi School of Economics will teach mathematically to understand the contemporary style of economics. This will help you try for a Ph.D. abroad.
- JNUs teachings are much simpler and theories with less mathematical writing. If you want to sit for UPSC exams, JNU is really a good option.
Therefore, you need to choose wisely, pursuing Ph.D. would only be good if you receive a good piece of advice from your professors or someone who has appropriate experience.
