What is meant by best four for DU?
The rules for calculating the Best Four vary depending on the course you want to take. Each course will have its own set of rules for computing it. Some courses will make some subjects mandatory, which means that whether your score is high or low in them, you must include them in those four subjects in order to be admitted to that course.
The four subject criteria will not be present in every course. Some courses, such as Physics, Chemistry, Electronics, Instrumentation, Polymer Science, and others, will only consider your PCM percentage, which is your marks in (Physics + Chemistry + Mathematics) divided by three. Some Biology courses will only consider the PCB percentage, which is (Physics + Chemistry + Biology)/3.
Many things will be said to you about admission to the University of Delhi, but many of them will be incorrect. To obtain accurate information, one must visit the college itself. Attempt to visit various colleges on a regular basis. Remember to take chances even if your score is less than 90%. You will have a better chance of admission if you visit colleges on a regular basis.
How much should I score in BITSAT to get a decent branch in BITS goa?
The BITSAT score you need for securing a decent branch in BITS Goa changes each year due to a variety of factors. The recent cut-off BITSAT scores for various courses at the BITS Pilani Goa campus is given below.
| B.E Chemical | 250 |
| B.E Mechanical | 280 |
| B.E Electrical and Electronics | 310 |
| B.E Computer Science | 352 |
| B.E Electronics and Communication | 322 |
| B.E Electronics and Instrumentation | 294 |
| M.Sc Biological Sciences | 250 |
| M.Sc Chemistry | 256 |
| M.Sc Physics | 274 |
| M.Sc Mathematics | 276 |
| M.Sc Economics | 295 |
Now it is always advisable to prepare for JEE (Advanced) more than BITSAT. This does not mean the Goa campus of BITS Pilani is bad or BITSAT is really easy. Many students actually keep BITSAT as a backup plan in case they fail to get IITs and I think it is a good strategy. Any day you should aim for IITs. But around 4-6 months before the exam you should know your potential and seriously consider whether you should give BITSAT or not.
As for the exam difficulty, it is often considered that BITSAT has a lower difficulty level than JEE (Mains). While that may be true but the time constraint, accuracy, and the competition from students should also be taken into account. You should take at least 10 practice BITSAT tests to nail your time management skills.
Finally, I would suggest that get a good grasp of mathematics and you can certainly excel at any entrance exam.
Which is the best college among NIT (Trichy,Warangal,Suratkal) for any Maharashtrian or North Indian to live happily i.e without facing any dominance of vernacular dialect student?
You won’t face any kind of dominance or bias studying at either college. The students are friendly and unless you provoke the other party, no one’s going to interfere in your business or harass you. It’s good to make friends belonging to diverse cultures rather than limiting yourself to certain cultural boundaries. Usually, IITs and NITs have very friendly seniors and peers and there isn’t ragging in any form.
Remember you are not here just to score a high grade or win medals. Rather, you are here to change your life and yourself and only learning from others' experiences will help you go a long way. So don’t worry and go for either NIT Trichy or NIT Warangal and make the most out of the available resources. Be empathetic and always think from a broader perspective. Only then can you attain new heights.
Which is better CSE from BPIT or IT from MSIT (second shift)?
MSIT is definitely better than BPIT when it comes to computer science engineering. BPIT is not that bad but not as good when compared to MSIT.
Placements at BPIT are getting better each year but MSIT is still leading. The table below should provide you with a better perspective on the same:
|
College name |
Average package |
Highest package |
Hiring companies |
|
MSIT |
INR 4 to 8 LPA |
INR 21 LPA |
MU Sigma, Jaro Education, Amazon, Google, Ion Trading |
|
BPIT |
INR 3.95 LPA |
INR 10 LPA |
HSBC, BYJU’s, Mavenhive, Hashedin Technologies, Infosys |
Overall, there isn’t much difference between the two colleges. If you are planning to pursue your post-graduate studies, the college will probably not matter but your studies definitely will. You should also take into account the distance you might have to travel every day which could play a major role.
My suggestion to you would be to write down the pros and cons of both the colleges and see which matters more. Is it the college name or the college stream?
What are the UG course offered by JNU?

How much do I need to score in the CAT/XAT to get into IIM, FMS, or XLRI with the following academics: X: 86%, XII: 73%, B.Tech: 6.89 CGPA?
The first and foremost thing is that you should be thorough with all your concepts and have decent academics. The selection process into XLRI does not focus much on the profile but your score should be decent.
The main thing that plays a vital role while preparing for these exams is quality over quantity. You should set your target of at least 95-96 percentile in XAT to get a call for the interview. The cut-offs for different fields are as follows.

Group Discussion:
Be a part of group discussion in a positive way. Do not boast your knowledge and try to give chances to others as well. Only put forward the points required. This is the phase where panelists check your ability to react and discuss with others on some topic.
Interview:
After group discussion, you have an interview round where the group of panelists checks your general knowledge. You should be well versed with the three main questions, firstly your strengths and weaknesses, then next why you consider XLRI to be the best among other colleges, and the last why you want to pursue the particular course. During your interview never beat around the bush, if you do not know something, say so. This will create a better impact on the interviewers.

There are several candidates who have this query of difference between IIM Lucknow and IIM A/B/C. Discussed below is what can be gained in IIM Lucknow, and what are the factors to be missed.
- The IIM Lucknow campus is beautiful and has a calmness all around the surroundings.
- The mess food is as good as any restaurant, and no way close to any hostel food. There are comments mentioning its quality, the unlimited supply. There are several facilities like a juice counter, paratha counter, egg counter, etc. There are facilities for night mess and that too in-room service.

How should I start my preparation for the IPMAT IIM Indore, and what book should I refer to?
One of my friends graduated from IIM Indore. According to him no one book can get you the entire arena. You need updated material, mocks, analysis, mentor , corrective measures and doubts resolution mechanism.
His recommendation is that you start your preparation from your 12th grade. Here are some suggestions –
- You should have a copy of the syllabus.
- Make a schedule.
- Determine the most significant themes and questions.
- Revise the concepts.
- Make a few quick notes.
- Prepare for brief questions as well.
- Make a list of relevant flowcharts and diagrams, as well as significant notes for that subject.
- Practice the crucial diagrams and flowcharts from your golden book one day before the exam.
- If at all feasible, give a mock test.
R S Aggarwal's books Verbal and Nonverbal Reasoning and Quantitative Aptitude are useful books you can follow. Also these can be obtained from the experts' test preparation books.
Should I opt for an M. Sc. Math course in BITS Pilani?
You are perhaps going for one of the most difficult streams of M.Sc, which is, of course, Maths. Few of my friends are studying there and as they have mentioned, by the time you reach your third year, one of the subjects in Maths would have a good number of theorems.
The next thing you would have is coordinate geometry as a part of your Maths 1. This would come in handy while solving double/triple integrations.
However, this is still the base of things. It gets complicated ahead- although, not sure if that would be in the third year essentially. Perhaps for better clarity, you should try and reach out to someone who is actually doing his/her M.Sc from BITS Pilani
- Now, when it comes to application and coding Mathematics, the wisest combination to opt for is M.Sc Maths along with CS.
- By the time you become a pro at coding, these math concepts wherein you studied geometry might come in handy for the applications that you would use.
- Try and sustain a CGPA of 8+, if you are genuinely serious about carrying along with CS as a second subject option.
My friends mentioned that students who are carrying along two degrees at the same time have CS as their ultimate aim. There were a few friends of mine who with a double degree, either ended up slogging into semesters, achieved CS with hardly any effort, and eventually, some of them had to choose chemical/civil out of sheer compulsion.
