How should I attempt 16 mark questions from Anna University exams?
Firstly you need to change your aim. Rather than scoring good marks, your aim should be to acquire a better understanding of the concepts. This will help you in the long run. Follow these tips that will guide you on how to attempt 16 marks questions in Anna University exams:
-
Don’t extend the 16 marks answers to more than 5 pages.
-
Attend the question you are most well versed in first. Then keep moving in descending order.
-
Neat and tidy presentation never goes unnoticed. Use black ink for headings and blue for other parts.
-
Assign a time limit to each answer (30 minutes per answer). This will give you proper time to write every answer.
-
Adding pencil-made sketches will fetch you extra marks.
Pro tip: Don’t write irrelevant information on your 2 marks answers. The examiner will assume you did the same for the 16 marks questions.
How do I write a good answer in the exam of a Master of Arts English MEG at IGNOU and other universities?
Here are two of the major points that are helpful in writing a good answer in the exam for an MA in English:
-
The answer must start with an excellent introduction to the writer and the text. Then, there should be good content, sticking to the point. The answer must end with an eminent conclusion.
-
The answer must not be written in a storytelling way. Students are supposed to answer what the question is asking them to explain, the theme, the character, and the point of view attached to the question.
Whatever answer students write, it must be revolving around giving proper reasons, perspectives, and possible central ideas that a question is trying to ask. The answer must not be diverting and stretching, without providing any appropriate conclusion.
What is the difference between the state TET and the CTET?
TET is a Teacher Eligibility Test which is conducted on a state level. For applications to government schools in a particular state, you are required to appear for TET. For example, if you are looking to apply for government schools in Haryana, you will have to appear for the Haryana Teachers Eligibility Test (HTET). Similarly, applications for schools in Kerala will be done through Kerala Teachers Eligibility Test (K-TET).
CTET on the other hand, is a Central Teachers Eligibility Test and is a national entrance examination conducted to qualify eligible teachers for primary and secondary levels in government schools. It is conducted by the Central Board for Secondary Education (CBSE) to appoint teachers in central schools throughout India.

- Technical Paper (CSE/ ME/ EE/ ECE): Marks- 300, Duration- 3 hours.
- To hit the stump at prelims-stage, you need to clear the cut-offs. For this, you need at least 15% marks in each paper and target an aggregate mark of 250+.

What are the Group Discussion topics for FMS Delhi?
Politics and sports are typically not included in GD/PI topics because the panelists cannot assume that all participants are well-versed or even interested in these topics. The panelists prefer delivery over content. Of course, content cannot be completely pointless wishful thinking, but exceptional delivery will always win.
Do not rush into the GD. Most GDs end up being a raging bustle of people interrupting one another and raising their voices to be heard. It is far preferable to remain silent for nearly 70% of the GD time and let the others argue over one topic. When you break in, the others will be taken aback and will silently listen to you. That automatically elevates you to the position of leader and earns you a lot of points.
When asked to sum up, do not include 'your thoughts' or use this as an opportunity to bring up points that were not covered during the discussion. The summary should solely contain the details of the discussion.
Speak slowly and deliberately. You'll be able to express yourself more clearly, and your audience will hang on to every word you say. That automatically elevates you to a position of authority and power - true management potential.

How do I prepare for the 1st-semester RGPV exams?
If you are a profound student who wants to do something worthwhile after finishing your engineering degree, you must first master the fundamentals. Following that, you must read good books or references on the subject. You can also watch online video lectures on YouTube. You should have good logical thinking and imagination for Engineering Drawing.
You should not rely solely on YouTube; instead, look into other options such as reading books, magazines, and so on. The most important requirement is self-study. Aside from watching YouTube lectures or making Notes & Assignments, you'll need to devote enough time to a specific subject.
Concentrate intently on your desired outcome. You must have a strong command of the English language, excellent communication skills, and software skills in C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python.
Aside from that, focus on Aptitude and Reasoning from the start; it will help you in the coming years when you will be facing campus. If you are a civil or mechanical engineering student, you must be proficient in software such as AutoCAD, CATIA, and others.
You simply need to create a clear strategy from the first semester onwards and focus on each of these things, and you will gain the advantages sooner or later.
