Cracking GATE 2013 - Preparation Tips for GATE 2013

To cracking the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE Exam) opens the ways to opportunities in higher education. The GATE is the test that sees intense competition for seats in post-graduate courses in engineering and sciences in top institutes in the India is administered by the Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) and Indian Institute of Sciences (IISc). Though a separate test is conducted in many states in India for admission into M.Tech and ME courses first preference for filling up the M.Tech and ME seats is given to GATE Score. Some institutions specify GATE mark as mandatory even for admission of self-financing students to join postgraduate programmes. Over the past few years, the number of applicants for GATE has increased for various reasons like changes in pattern, Public Sector Undertakings (PSU Jobs) considering GATE scores for recruitment, attractive career options for post-graduates and the urge to stand out among the increasing number of engineering graduates among others. “GATE 2012 scores would be considered as the merit criterion by organisations such as Powergrid, BHEL, IOCL and NTPC, for recruitment to the posts of Executive Trainees and Management Trainees. Preparation for GATE comes handy for other PSU exams like CIL, SAIL, GAIL etc and also campus recruitment interviews,”.

Things to know to Crack GATE 2013

Pre-final year students ie third year students are not be eligible for GATE 2013. “But this should not affect preparation of pre-final year students who plan to appear for GATE when eligible, as it is always better to start early and revise towards the end. Out of the 21 optional in GATE, only one can be taken in a particular year. There is no restriction on which optional you can take in GATE. But, candidates wishing to attempt an optional not related to their qualifying degree, must check the admission rules of the institutes of interest carefully,”.

Do you have more reasons to say? Don’t forget to comment. Let us see how many reasons we can gather here in comments. I hope you enjoyed reading 10 reasons why mechanical engineering is the best course. No doubt It's best engineering course and best engineering branch!

Three Cheers to the Beginnings!

Sitting in a college lecture hall amongst hundreds of “yet to be known” people from around the country and listening to the administration people and then the faculties talking about the NORMS,DISCIPLINE,SCHEDULES, and STUDIES of college (all the students will get the irony behind highlighting these 4 terms), I was attending the first orientation of my college. I still remember the first thing that hit my mind as soon as I entered the room was the, GENDER RATIO!  Well it wasn’t a surprise that a room of 160 seats had boys filling the 100 seats in MECHANICAL branch of an ENGINEERING COLLEGE, but still it was odd to see such a huge disparity. In the midst of all this, there was a struggle going on to find people belonging to same batch and trust me I was scared like hell because in the whole one hour I was not able to find any girl belonging to the batch I was allotted!

Well! That was just the first hour in college and ice breaking was not that tough, at least not amongst the girls, as I was told! Till the time orientation ended, I was lucky enough to have found a girl having same batch as me and after almost an year referring her as “a girl belonging to my batch “  is so NOT DONE as now she is an integral part of my life J . The time passed and we had our share of fun in college with OFFICIAL FRESHER’S WELCOME, which I initially referred to as “official ragging”. Yes! , you have to move to the stage facing the first years as well as all the seniors and have to give your introduction, only if all the people present there STOP HOOTINGAND LET YOU SPEAK!! The line above bring up another interesting and most important part of college life, RAGGING!  Although in my college anything even close to ragging is totally banned, we still experienced a lighter part of it during the introductions we were asked to give. Actually let me put it properly from a fresher’s point of view “you can be stopped anywhere, anyhow and asked to wish your seniors “good morning” or “good noon” and call them sir or ma’am and then you can start telling your own not so important information! “. I still remember how scared I and my friends used to be, to enter the café during the lunch hours of seniors and super-seniors! And then came the much awaited “FRESHER’S PARTY”. The occasion where everyone looks there best, especially in a college like mine where we have to wear uniforms! An occasion where you can always fall in love with someone or at least have a crush on someone and entertainment is always unlimited! And with time you’ll see the groups of friends dividing into pairs of two!

And between all these “studies go on”!  Yeah!  In some lecture rooms, class rooms, labs, studiesgo on and that’s a different thing that 90% of the times we were clue less about them! And then one fine day you face EXAMSand interestingly while writing those exams I actually saw that forwarded message of a friend coming to reality, it says “after finishing every answer in an exam, I feel like writing LOL at the end!!”. And the best time comes when all the fun and frolic of your just started college life are evaluated in terms of your MARKS! And once you are familiar with them, there starts a phase of liking and joining pages on FB like “Trust me I am an Engineer!”. Throughout the first semester we had to cry for so many things like, attendance, internals, some teachers actually after your life, asking the seniors about the cut offs or actually asking the procedures for filling up supplementary forms!!

All in all, as soon as I reached college, my life gained a pace that made me forget lot of things and people that once mattered and I believe it has happened to every one of us. It’s like a new beginning leaving all behind, a roller-coaster ride making you go through all or at least few of these:
The “recently used” list of your cell phone will now hold the names of your college friends, and the school people who used to be on the top, will move down and might slowly…disappear!
Your photo albums having you with your school friends will take a back seat and now you’ll be boasting about your college and your new friends or boyfriends/ girlfriends too!
Your outings with people, who were important for your existence once, become yearly occasion now and after sometime you can do without them too but you can’t miss a chance to hang out with your present buddies!
Somewhere in the crowd you find certain people who make your previous break ups, crushes or heart breaks and everything bad happened to you as a past memory. They make your life easy with each passing day and your day is just so incomplete without them!
The people you rely on the most might ditch you, while the unexpected ones may become your lifeline!
You can always find a boy/girl whom you will hate for being just so perfect! While some will surely make you feel just “awesome”!
You can always find a savior in a senior, no matter how scared you were initially to even interact with them!
If you aren’t a sleeping fellow, you will learn a lot of POLITICS!
For the girls 1)- if you were a totally a “plain jane” types in your school days, girl’s washroom is the place to be!
For the girls 2)- if you are still crying for your ex-boyfriend or an ex-crush then please “go get a life!” , college is not that disappointing after all! ;)
For the boys- I wish I could arrange for some boy co-writer who could have provided with suggestions for you!

For those who think all this is picked up from somewhere:

NO! All of it has some reason or people behind it! They make my life special every day! The only reason I drag myself to college just to follow a 12 hour tiring schedule daily!

For those who wonder why I didn’t mention names of the people who matter so much to me:

Well! Few of them wished “ not to be named” ( starry tantrums you see :p) and without naming those “few” not only this write up but my college life would have been incomplete! J

What After 12th : Life is a race, if you don’t run fast, you’ll be like a broken Anda

“Life is a race; if you don’t run fast, you’ll be like a broken Anda…”

The lines above may come up with a rib-tickling sense but it has a profound meaning to deliver. We were told earlier to grab admission in one of the best collegefor graduation. Similarly, we would be told to hold a seat in any of the elite college for Post-graduation. For sure, we have to clutch a respectable job (because our job will give respect to our parents in society) and logically we have to buy a 4BHK flat too.Damn-to-abyss, how far do we have to run? We are running since we got kicked out from the school. There are no laps, no claps, no glucose and not even Cheer girls.


Ask yourself, why I am running?

It’s because everyone is running.

Ask again, why Everyone is running?

It’s because each “I am” is running.

It’s a race going on.

Be a part of the race anyhow or You’ll get apart from the race for others to run faster.


Now I can connect the dots. Now I understood why everyone is in so much urgency at Rajeev chowk Metro Station. Stand for one minute on that station and you will observe that every Tom, Dick, and Harry is running. It’s a race to get inside the metro before YOU. And these races get worse when people start overtaking you while riding back to home or waiting in a queue.

Life after boards is truly full of chaos, appropriately titled as “A PERFECTLY IMPERFECT LABYRINTH” by one of my colleagues DishaVirk. But there is one solution to all the problems. Give Fire to your missile of Dreams and you will land up somewhere on a utopian planet that you haven’t even dream of. Don’t get trapped in cobwebs. Don’t be a doctor because your father wants you to be a doctor. Just bleed red in your field of interest and then all the colours will be yours. Life is just for once, live it for countless times to get your paisa vasool dude…: D

Well, coming on the part, we are here answering some of the frequent FAQs which are usually asked by students.

1.      Which engineering college is best except IITs?

India Today, leading magazine come up with top 100 colleges every year based on the infrastructure, teaching facility, and environment and accommodation for students. That ranking has been approved by many and has a stand in itself. Still, some of the best colleges except IITs are

a)      Birla Institute of Technology

b)    DELHI COLLEGE OF ENGINEEING,DELHI

c)      Vellore Institute of Technology.

d)   aligarh mulim university

f)       NSIT,DELHI

g)   JNU,DELHI and etc.

2.      What are the changes in admission to Delhi University this year?

Delhi University is going through its worst phase of instability and unpredictability. Due to the hell furore took birth last year because of 100% cut off, DU is trying the best possible way to keep the cut-off relatively lower. Though the final changes in admission will be published at last time only but still we would like to mention the glances and rumours (may not be), which are as follows

a)      Restriction on filling “Number of colleges” in centralised form.

b)      Online Admission Process in Delhi University from 2012

c)       The committee also suggested that the whole process of students migrating from one college to another after completion of Ist year should be stopped.

d)      Besides, the trend showcases that many students block multiple seats in various colleges and cancel the admission after the last date. Due to which, many deserving students stay in a dilemma for a long time and sometimes also loose upon a prospective seat at a college of their choice. In an attempt to resolve this issue, the committee has suggested increasing the cancellation fee before the last date to Rs 1000/- and has suggested a ‘no refund’ in case the last date has passed.

e)      Till now, once the DU declare its cut-off list for admission, it gave a four-day time to take admission, but from now onwards there will only be two days allocated for students to get admissions based on the cut-off lists. After an interval of one day the next cut-off will be announced.

3.      Course or college?

If you are trapped in the maelstrom for the priority between course and college, my word is COURSE. One cannot hold the prestige of college for lifetime but the knowledge from the course you studied will be with you, lifelong.  The course will help you in career also but the college name will only shine on the degree certificate.

I know the competition is tough; there is a fight for 30 seats between lakhs of students. But today, there is a fight in every career and everyone is fighting their own battle. So there is no way to be gloomy. Tighten your shoe lace and run faster, otherwise you’ll be like a Broken Anda.

Standard and poor's rating for india

INTRODUCTION

Standard & Poor's (S&P) is an American financial services company..With offices in 23 countries and a history that dates back more than 150 years, Standard & Poor’s is known to investors worldwide as a leader of financial- market intelligence. Today Standard & Poor’s strives to provide investors who want to make better informed investment decisions with market intelligence in the form of credit ratings, indices, investment research and risk evaluations and solutions. 




S&P warned to india for  junk rating status  


The international ratings agency had warned that India may lose its "investment grade" and may become the first "fallen angel" among BRICS nations.
All foreign investors make their investment decisions based on credit ratings given by rating agencies, whether you like it or not. Most of them are not allowed to invest their money in a country that has a junk rating. Will you, for example, ever invest your money in Fixed Deposit scheme of a junk rated company? Even if the company publishes a convincing report rebutting the rating agency?
                                                             so a s&p junt rating for india will fully effect on GDP of india...


A/C  to FINANCE MINISTERY OFFICIALS OF INDIA;------

 Hitting out at the rating agency Standard & Poor, India has said that its methodologies were not transparent and the country's economy was better off than the peers it was bracketed with. 

"We are not happy with what they are saying...The process they follow is not very transparent..They have some hidden criterion which they have not been able to explain to us," said R Gopalan, secretary, department of economic affairs. 

The rating agency had on Monday warned that India could be the first BRIC nation to lose investment-grade rating citing economic slowdown and political roadblocks to policy-making. 

"I do not know if they have instituted a system of advance advance warning," he said adding that thefinance ministry will soon have a telecon with the agency to assert its point that country's fundamentals continued to remain strong. 

"We believe there is a need to engage with them to emphasise on various parameters including the steps the government had taken to boost growth, to contain deficit and to tackle the external situation," he said. 

Finance ministry officials had held intensive discussions with S&P representatives in April but the agency had cut outlook on the country's sovereign rating of 'BBB-' to negative from stable. 

"We had asked them to share with us their findings before the ratings are assigned so that we can explain our point of view. We don't seem to be getting transparent answers," he said. 

Finance minister Pranab Mukherjee had on Monday rejected the S&P report and expressed confidence that there would be a turnaround in economic growth prospects in the coming months. 

"You cannot judge us on a few parameters. We think we are in a much better condition than they think we can be," Gopalan said, who has just returned from a roadshow on the qualified foreign investor scheme in the Gulf. 

He said private equity investors and sovereign wealth funds in the region were willing to bet on India and were looking to increase allocations to India. Investors queried the government officials on tax provisions including the retrospective changes made in the budget as to how they

Being active on Facebook and Twitter can get you the job you want

With increasing number of users globally, social networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn are turning out to be happy hunting grounds for employees seeking new jobs.

Majority of employees surveyed felt that social media are helping them to find new jobs quickly and efficiently, according to HR services firm Ma Foi Randstad.

“… 82 percent of Indian employees are extremely confident on using the social media such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to enable them to find a new job quicker and more efficiently,” Ma Foi Randstad said.

The survey focuses on ‘mental mobility status’ of employees — reflecting their readiness to change jobs.

About 87 percent of Indian employees use social media to find information about an organisation’s work culture.

“… 75 per cent track movements and events of their favourite companies, so that they are up-to-date for attending job interviews and 75 percent would hesitate joining a company if their co-workers have given negative reviews about the company,” it added.

Moreover, the survey found that 90 percent of Indian employees have an individual accounts on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and out of them, 81 percent use it for professional purposes.

Among the Indian cities, employees in Mumbai (85 percent) and Delhi (83 percent) are most confident about finding a job through social media.

As per the report, Indian workforce continues to be the “most mobile in the world”, with an index score of 145. India is followed by China and Mexico.

The index shows the extent to which employees are thinking of changing their jobs in a short-term as compared to other countries.

The findings are based on a survey of over 60,000 employees in 26 countries.

“Social media has become a potent tool for both employers and employees and as a low cost – high return option, recruiting through social media will soon become a key differentiator in the current global recruitment market,” Ma Foi Randstad’s MD and CEO E Balaji said.
