How should one prepare for the entrance exam for a postgraduate program at ISI Kolkata?

SJ
Sandeep Jain Posted On : October 7th, 2021
Studied at Indian Statistical Institute

If you are going for a Master’s degree just for the sake of getting good pay, then don't, it'll be a waste of your 2 precious years. Let me give you an overview: 

  • M.Tech will not fetch you a 6-digit salary in an instant unless you are placed in a top company like Google. 
  • If you're interested in going for M.Tech in CS then plan ahead- see what is asked in the ISI exam. You will find that it's mostly the B.Sc level Math.

If you are in Kolkata, then definitely go to ISI. There's a bookstore behind the college, it has a Math book especially for the ISI entrance test. You may buy and prep from that.

What can be done to crack the JEE (Advanced) and get into IIT-Bombay?

SB
Sumit Bose Posted On : March 18th, 2023
IIT Bombay (2019)

Don’t be fixed upon a certain agenda and keep your options open. If you will restrict yourself in such a way you might limit your options as well as the capacity to give your best.

Instead, I suggest that you try to analyze why exactly you want to pursue Engineering. Is it because of the sheep mentality or do you really want to build things?

Once you are sure, then figure out how exactly you will be achieving this goal. Set achievable goals for yourself and work sincerely on fulfilling them. Reward yourself for very little achievement on the way. This will gradually increase your confidence and pave the way to achieve much more.

However, a very important thing is to dream but not demand. That is you should be passionate about a certain thing but not fixated on it too much to the extent that if you fail to achieve it, you lose much more. So you can desire to pursue BTech in CSE at IIT Bombay but leave room for other options as well. 

Don’t stress yourself out too much and just concentrate on the present, your future will be visible sooner or later.

Where can I find free-solved assignments for IGNOU?

KT
Karan Takkar Posted On : October 17th, 2022
M.A ECO from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

You can simply Google "free solved assignments" to find them. However, there is a catch. If you are enrolled in the January session, you may be able to find most assignments for free online. The assignments for the July session and the January session of the following year are the same at IGNOU. So your chances of finding them for free are good. However, if you are enrolled in the July session, you may not be able to find solved assignments online/offline for free.

However, you will find 99% of the assignment solutions in your IGNOU study material and exactly how you should do it. It will give you a good understanding of the subject. Ignore questions from previous years' papers and current assignments in TEE. You should complete your assignments on your own because it will undoubtedly help you in your TEE.

12th standard is a good time to start preparing for Law examinations. Rather than targeting NLSIU or CLAT, you should focus on learning all concepts tested for law examination selection. Adopt a well-structured learn-practice-test approach.

How should I prepare for IIT-JAM chemistry?

RA
Ritesh Agarwal Posted On : March 18th, 2021
Studied at Malaviya National Institute of Technology, Jaipur

Well, for Organic Chemistry, you can go for the following two books.

  • Clayden: It is the best book with deep concepts in Organic Chemistry. Following this book, you can easily crack CSIR-JRF. However, chapter-wise, a detailed-study is needed from the starting and solving of the questions.
  • Bruice: It is the best book for getting an entry-level understanding of Organic Chemistry.

It will be better if you start with Bruice and then Clayden.

Inorganic Chemistry:

  • Huheey
  • J.D. LEE: It is for beginners, and the questions from major topics in IIT-JAM come directly from Huheey; thereby, this book is a must.

Physical Chemistry:

  • You can go through Atkins, however, it will be difficult to understand this book at the initial stage. For Quantum Chemistry, Atkins is a must. 
  • You can also look at the various volumes of K.L. Kapoor. It consists of various questions along with solved examples related to Physical Chemistry.

Donald Mcquarrie's book is also a good option, it is the best book for spectroscopy and quantum. This book deals with sufficient terms and provides clear knowledge.

Solve roadmap problems for Organic Chemistry. For this, you must have a good command of the reaction’s name. Thereby, you can study Peter Sykes; maybe it is not comprehensive enough, but it will assist you in gaining in-depth knowledge for the reactions of Organic Chemistry.

Solving previous year’s questions will also be helpful. It will help you get an idea concerning the important chemical reactions. Also, check the organizing institutes of IIT-JAM to understand the demand of each institute.
