30 Day Plan to Crack CAT Examination 2018 - Some FAQs To Pull Up your Percentile in CAT Exam

A 30-day plan to crack CAT


With just a month left for the CAT exam date 2018, here are answers to some FAQs to pull up your percentile in CAT Examination.

How should an aspirant prepare a timetable for the last month?
In the last month, a candidate can take mock tests (AIMCATs and SAMCATs), analyse the performance and study and prepare to overcome shortcomings. One can also focus on revision of important concepts and formulas.

What should now be the ideal strategy for taking mock tests?
Don’t attempt too many of them. Two a day are enough. More than that is overkill. But, it is important to take tests. And a far more important thing is to objectively analyse and then work on the feedback received. Most aspirants can manage this if they make a cycle of two three days. If you are very sure about your preparation, then maybe you can manage more. However, if you still need to practice, then take two tests in a week and focus on concepts. Now that the CAT authorities have sent the admit cards, you know your time slot for the examination. Attempt as many mocks tests as possible at the time of your actual exam slot. This will sync your body clock and body cycle to perform best on the exam day.


A 30-day plan to crack CAT



What are the important topics for last-minute revision?
There is nothing less or more important in CAT. As a rule, CAT is an exam that is meant to surprise candidates with questions that are unexpected. Don’t focus on vocabulary building, but do revise tricky questions of QA or common mistakes of grammar.

How can the students stay calm and motivated at this time?
Focus on the alternatives. Thinking that CAT is the most important thing in life will create unnecessary pressure. Think of past successes and how you overcame hurdles.

How can students increase their accuracy and speed?
Build accuracy first and then with practice, you will gain speed on your own. Build a sense of urgency while taking the exam.

How should the ideal questions in the CAT be selected?
Maximum accuracy should not be the aim. Due to time pressure and negative marking, doing questions with 100 per cent accuracy may lead to a drop in the percentile since you are sacrificing attempts. Check all the questions and attempt ones that consume less time. You can do the sections in two rounds. In the first, do easy questions and “bookmark for review” the moderate ones. In the second round, do the “bookmarked for review” questions to do the moderate ones and drop the tough ones.

How many questions should be attempted in each section to score 99+ percentile?
It all depends on the difficulty level of the test. In case the test is difficult, the attempts will fall and conversely in an easy test, the attempts will rise.

What are the common mistakes to avoid on the exam day?
Make sure you check the physical location of the centre at least a day before and analyse how you reach the exam centre much before time. Carry all the necessary documents. Avoid heavy meals before the exam, as it is a long and mentally and physically taxing exam. Don’t panic if the paper seems tougher than usual. If it is indeed so, it is true for all others too and thus percentiles will not be affected. Don’t take the exam with a pre-determined number of attempts or scores in your mind. Don’t waste time on any one question.

A last-minute advice to the aspiring candidates... Relax on the last day. Watch a movie. Take your mind off the exam. That actually helps the performance on the D-day.

Punjab Govt comes up with own IELTS - Education Dept to improve English skills to eventually help students emigrate

Punjab govt comes up with own IELTS

Education Dept to improve English skills to eventually help students emigrate

Chandigarh, October 3, 2018:  With the youth in Punjab, nothing sells like Canada. Hoping to tap into the emigration craze, the state Education Department has come up with a plan to improve their English skills by launching a programme called the ‘IELTS’. Only in this case it stands for “Interactive English Language Training for Students”. The acronym plays on the language testing exam prescribed by several countries for immigrants, the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Coaching for the IELTS exam has become a roaring industry in the state. Even as Bindu Gulati, Assistant Director of the State Council of Education Research and Training that has designed the programme, says they do not claim to help students emigrate, the fact is that the course is designed such that it will improve their chances of success with the test. The free coaching is set to start for class XI and XII students in around 1,000 government senior secondary schools from November 1.

Our intention is to improve students’ proficiency in English. They are paying huge amounts to private coaching centres. Most of the staff in these centres are not better qualified than our teachers. Our staff have surveyed private centres, even taken their mock tests. Krishan Kumar, SECRETARY (EDUCATION)

Punjab govt comes up with own IELTS
The programme will make use of existing faculty. There are already 46 teachers on the department rolls especially trained in Canada in the teaching of English. They are conducting workshops in districts to train other teachers. In 2014, 50 teachers were sent to Canada by then CM Parkash Singh Badal specially to learn IELTS coaching; four have since retired. Their services, however, were never utilised till now. Bindu Gulati says the exercise will make students “subject smart”, particularly in listening, comprehending and speaking English.

Some Recent FAQ Related to the Government Jobs Asked By Students with Complete Answer

Some FAQ Related to the Government Jobs


Am I eligible for teaching job after BTech?
Question:1.I am a final year student of BTech from Phagwara. I want to go into teaching. I have heard that BTech students can give the NET to become a lecturer?

Some FAQ Related to the Government Jobs
Answer. The CSIR-UGC NET Exam for JRF & Lectureship is conducted by the CSIR in five areas: Chemical Sciences, Earth, Atmospheric, Ocean & Planetary Sciences, Life Sciences, Mathematical Sciences, Physical Sciences. Yes, BS-4 years/ BE/BTech/ B.Pharma graduates are eligible to take the NET, apart from those with an MSc or equivalent degree/BS-MS/MBBS with minimum 55 per cent marks (5 per cent relaxation in marks for SC/ST/ OBC/ PwD). In case you wish to take the CSIR-UGC NET Exam to be held on December 16, 2018, you can apply under the “Results Awaited” (RA) category – provided you complete your degree within two years in order to avail of the Fellowship (JRF). However, if you only possess a Bachelor’s degree (BE/BTech/BPharma), you’re not eligible for lectureship. Incidentally, the IITs offer direct admission to PhD for meritorious BE/BTech students (1st divisioners).

But, as per current UGC norms, these PhD degree-holders are not eligible for the post of Assistant Professors in Indian universities although they’re qualified for the post at the IITs/NITs. Reason?

They don’t possess the mandatory master’s degree. This anomaly was finally addressed by the UGC in its recent meeting and is likely to be scrapped/amended. Incidentally, BSc (Hons) or equivalent degree-holders who are enrolled in Integrated MS-PhD programmes (with minimum 55% marks) can also apply. The age limit is 28 years for JRF (NET). There’s a 5-year relaxation in age limit for SC/ST/ /PwD/Women candidates and 3 yrs for OBC (creamy layer). The application deadline is October 15, 2018.

Data science course from govt agency?
Question:2. I have been working as a software developer in a small IT firm in Noida for the past five years after doing my MCA. I have been reading about Data Science and am very keen to learn something about it. But it is not possible for me to leave my job as I have family responsibilities. Nor can I spend a huge amount on fancy courses. What do you suggest?

Answer. For starters, if you can spare four (two-day) weekends, there’s an interesting Skill Development programme on Data Science & Machine Learning offered by the M/o Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME), Govt. of India, that you could check out. The technology Development Centre of MSME, Meerut would be your best bet. If you hurry, you could enroll for their first session which starts on October 6, in NOIDA (Sect 3) itself. Being a government initiative, the fee has been kept at Rs.25,000 (+GST). For details, log onto: www.ppdcmeerut.com .

There are several other courses in the market, including some good online ones that are offered via the MOOCS platform which you could check out. In fact, data scientists and front-end developers received the maximum salary hikes in 2017. Those with three to five years of experience fetched salaries ranging from Rs.25-29 lakh last year. Data scientists use computing systems to collect, analyse and interpret large quantities of data and information to help businesses (including startups) improve their operations and gain a competitive edge over their rivals. And in the wake of the AI (Artificial Intelligence) boom, many companies are looking to grow their Data Analytics teams.

Some Myths and Reality Related to the Civil Entrance Exam - You should know these Facts

Facts to Crack Civil Services Examination
Some Myths and Reality Related to the Civil Exam

Any aspirant of the civil services examination knows about the countless doubts and myths that accompany the many ‘sincere’ advises of people around. It is important to dispel the myths and take on the tough journey with confidence. Time to confront these with corresponding realities.
Facts to Crack Civil Services Examination

Myth: Many people said that there are too much political interference in the IAS and the IPS.
Reality: The decisions taken by IAS and IPS officers have immense impact on the common man. Any position that promises authority is bound to exercise some control as well. The more important the position, greater the control will be. However, most of us tend to believe that private sector offers a great degree of independence, which again is not true. The top positions in the private sector are also subject to control or interference in some form or the other.

Myth:Students who have excellent academic record can only crack civil services examination.
Reality: Intelligence is subjective. Can we call a student intelligent if he has consistently secured first division? Or can a student who scores 100 per cent in mathematics or physics in Class X be tagged as ‘intelligent’?
A survey conducted a few years back revealed that most of the successful candidates in civil services examination had secured only a second division in graduation, which led us to believe that a high academic score is a definite asset, but a second or third division is definitely not an impediment to attain success.


Myth: Some optionals have better prospects at the preliminary level.
Reality: Candidates have 23 optionals to choose from and each of them offers equal chances of success. UPSC follows the proportionate method of representation, which weigh every optional proportionally.

Myth: Every optional has a ‘cut-off’ mark. Hence, it is better to choose one with a low cut-off.
Reality: What do we understand by cut-off? Out of the 10,000 qualified candidates, marks scored by the last candidate mark the ‘cut-off.’ Thus, candidates who score more than the cut-off will qualify and those who don’t will not. In a competitive examination, a cut-off score changes from year to year and there is no qualifying score.

Myth: Questions asked in optional ‘X’ are difficult and perplexing. Hence, it is better to choose optional ‘Y’.
Reality: In a competitive exam, if the questions are difficult every aspirant will score less and automatically the cut-off marks will be low.

Myth: The general studies paper accounts for only 150 marks, on the other hand the optional paper is of 300 marks. Therefore general studies calls for more attention.
Reality: While it is true that more attention needs to be given to optional, preparation for general studies should not be neglected as well. Remember, every mark counts and a single mark determines success or failure.

Myth: The same subject for prelims and mains should not be chosen.
Reality: There is no rule of thumb that the same optional needs to be chosen both for prelims and mains exam, but it is advisable to stick to one subject. If different options are taken, it would lead to tragic waste of time.

Myth: When the same optional is picked up both for prelims and the mains exam, then it is not required to prepare separately for the preliminary examination. Preparation for the mains is sufficient.
Reality: The preliminary calls for a micro approach, whereas the mains require a broad perspective. Hence, even though 90 per cent of the preliminary syllabus is included in the mains, different methods of preparation are required.

Myth: In order to crack the civil services examination, an aspirant has to toil for at least 16 hours a day.
Reality: Successful candidates in CSE examination state that it is not the number of hours that is important, but the work that you put in those hours. We all have a span of attention and the preparation should be tailored accordingly. However, tall claims are made about 16 hours of extensive study, but weather it is humanly possible or not is still debatable.

Myth: Nobody can be sure of success in prelims until the results are announced, so it is better to set about preparation for the mains only after the prelims.
Reality: Like any other competitive exams, civil services examination also has a ‘chance’ factor. However, through a well-directed effort, an element of chance can be cut-down to a large extent. Preparation in the right direction steps up your chances of success in the examination to 90 per cent. However, mains exam is conducted three months after the declaration of prelims result. So, 90 days is ‘just not’ sufficient to prepare for two optional, an essay and a general studies paper.

Myth: The provisions of reservation are not applied at the preliminary examination
Reality: The provisions of reservations are applied at each stage of the examination; otherwise a proportional representation to the next stage is not possible.

CBI to Probe scholarship scam - Rs.100-150 Crore Scam in Education Department 2018

CBI to Investigate scholarship scam
Rs.100-150 Crore Scam in Education Sector

This one is the Latest Education Scam in India. The CBI will investigate the multi-crore scholarship scam in the Education Department. Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur had earlier assured that the matter would be thoroughly probed and could be handed over to the CBI. The scam was unearthed following reports that students of government schools in Spiti had not been paid scholarships for the past five years. Preliminary inquiry revealed that Rs 100-150 crore was involved in the mega scam. “Ineligible candidates were given admissions and fake bank accounts were opened for the payment of scholarships, but the scam remained hidden as the people, who created the online portal for amount disbursement and those who actually transferred the money, were the same,” Secretary (Education) Arun Kumar Sharma said.

FAKE BANK ACCOUNTS WERE OPENED
The scholarship scam was unearthed two months ago.

Ineligible candidates were given admissions and fake bank accounts were opened.

There are reports of discrimination in releasing the amount at the departmental level.

Some employees dealing with the matter have been shifted, it is learnt.

CBI to probe scholarship scam
Some accounts were tracked in Haryana, while a few in Karnataka were under the scanner. “Spiti is not the only area where the scholarship amount has not been paid and there are reports of discrimination at the departmental level.

“The scam remained hidden as the people, who created the online portal for amount disbursement and those who actually transferred the money, were the same”, said by Arun Kumar Sharma, SECY(EDUCATION).

Some employees dealing with the matter have been shifted,” sources in the Education Department said. The discrepancy came to light during the review of various schemes of the Education Department. Cabinet Minister Ram Lal Markanda, who is also the Lahaul-Spiti MLA, took up the matter with government officials. Taking serious note of the complaints, the government directed the Director, Higher Education, to probe whether the schemes had been adequately publicised and the beneficiaries were aware of these and those who got the scholarships were genuine scholars covered under the respective schemes.

Government of India Proposed to Merge BOB, DENA and VIJAYA Bank - Governemtn News

Merger of three banks proposed by Centre

BoB, Dena, Vijaya boards to examine

Latest Government News 
New Delhi, September 18: The Centre government of India today said that the state-owned named as Bank of Baroda, Vijaya Bank and Dena Bank would be merged to create the country’s third largest lender. The move follows top lender State Bank of India last year merging with itself five of its subsidiary banks and taking over Bharatiya Mahila Bank, a niche staterun lender for women.


The Finance Minister of India  Mr. Arun Jaitley said that the merger would make the banks stronger and sustainable as well as increase their lending ability. Finance Minister of India said in his statement that the bank lending was becoming weak day by day, hurting corporate sector funds. In his another statement he also said that the many banks were in a fragile condition due to excessive lending and ballooning NPAs.
Government of India Proposed to Merger BOB, DENA and VIJAYA Bank

As was in case of SBI, no employee would have service conditions adverse to present one. Centre Government of India also owns the majority stakes in 21 lenders, which account for more than two-thirds of banking assets. Financial Services Secretary Rajiv Kumar said boards of the three banks would examine the proposal. While the employees’ interest would be protected, brand equity would be preserved.

Supreme Court Stays Order On declaration of SSC CGL, CHSL 2017 Exam Results

Supreme Court stays On declaration of SSC 2017 results

1st Sept. 2018: The Supreme Court on Friday stayed the declaration of results of Staff Selection Commission (SSC) Examination 2017, saying prima facie the entire system appeared to be tainted.

A Bench of Justice SA Bobde and Justice L Nageswara Rao stayed the declaration of results of Combined Graduate Level Examination and Combined Higher Secondary Level Examination after perusing a status report filed in a sealed cover by the CBI, which is investigating allegations of corruption in SSC examinations.
Supreme Court stays On declaration of SSC 2017 results


CALLS ENTIRE TEST TAINTED
The Supreme Court on Friday said it appeared from the first look that the entire test was tainted

It observed that it cannot permit people to benefit from the "tainted" 2017 Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level and senior secondary level examination and get into service

Advocates Prashant Bhushan and Govind Jee, appearing for petitioner Shantanu Kumar, alleged that the CBI in its first status report had itself admitted that the custodian of the examination paper had leaked the paper.

The Bench — which is seized of a PIL highlighting corruption, leakage of question papers, use of remote access software for solving papers and screen-sharing of candidates’ computer terminal to unknown persons — said the status report spoke volumes about the illegalities committed and the role of SIFY, its content head, students involved. Remote sharing of the server had been admitted, it noted.

The petition demanded a court-monitored probe and setting up of an expert panel to suggest systematic changes in SSC examination system to plug the loopholes.

The SSC conducts examinations for recruitment to various group B non-gazetted posts and group C non-technical posts in the government. It also selects candidates for group B gazetted posts of assistant accounts officer and assistant audit officer for the Indian Audit and Accounts Department. The CBI FIR alleged that among others, one SP Gupta, the content head of SIFY, the vendor of SSC examination was involved in it.

In 2017, the SSC conducted an online exam for Combined Graduate Level Tier-I examination in August. The candidate who made it to the cut-off list of Tier-I exam appeared for online combined graduate level Tier-II Exam in February 2018.

Reserved Category SC/STs Candidates Can Not Claim Reservation Benefit in 2 States of India- APEX COURT

SC/STs can’t claim reservation benefit in 2 states: Apex court

New Delhi, August 30, 2018: Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe candidates from one state can’t claim benefit of reservation in government jobs in other states. A five-judge Constitution Bench headed by Justice Ranjan Gogoi held that a person belonging to SC/ST in one state could not be deemed to be an SC/ST in another state where he might have migrated for employment or education. The Bench said the following statement, “If a person notified as a SC candidate in the state A than he cannot claim the same status in another state on the basis that he is declared as SC in state A.

SC/STs can’t claim reservation benefit in 2 states

The Bench said another statement related to this context which is as follow, “If in the opinion of a state it is necessary to extend the benefit of reservation to a class/category of SC/ST beyond those specified in the lists for that particular state, constitutional discipline would require the state to make its views in the matter prevail with the central authority so as to enable an appropriate parliamentary exercise to be made by an amendment of the Lists of SC/ST for that particular state”.

“Unilateral action by states on the touchstone of Article 16(4) of the Constitution could be a possible trigger point of constitutional anarchy and, therefore, must be held to be impermissible under the Constitution,” the top court said. Another issue before the Bench was whether SC/ST candidates of other states could seek quota in government jobs in Delhi.

With a majority of 4:1, the Bench held that so far as Delhi is concerned, the central reservation policy regarding SC/ST would be applicable here. It ruled that Pan India Reservation Rule in force in National Capital Territory of Delhi was in accordance with the constitutional scheme relating to services under the Union and the States/UTs. Justice Banumathi, however, delivered a dissenting verdict on central reservation policy in Delhi.
