How do I clear Anna University exams without any arrears?

PM

Lived in Nagore.

Assuming you are writing in the exam room, you are required to complete an answer sheet for a question paper at home within the allotted time. Practice the fundamentals for questions worth two points, and remember that examiners won't read long answers; instead, try to highlight the key points. Diagrams convey more details as well as marks. Simply put, they will check the points. Just stick to topics that are direct and highly profitable.

You must not overlook any derivatives when attempting to solve a math problem. Even if your response to the question is accurate, the examiners may not give you full credit. They award points up to the point where you failed to write the proper derivatives.

How should one prepare for the IIFT?

S
Sagardeep Posted On : February 27th, 2023
Senior Career Counsellor

IIFT (Indian Institutes of Foreign Trade) is a highly reputable college that offers a post-graduate program in management. The college has a limited intake of around 450-500 students per year, and the admission process is based on an online exam conducted by NTA. The exam is of 2 hours duration and provides the flexibility to switch between sections at any time.

When preparing for the IIFT exam, it is important to develop a tailored preparation strategy that takes into account the exam date. For example, if you decide to take the exam six months in advance, you should create a six-month preparation plan, and if you decide to take the exam with only three months or less left, you should create a plan accordingly.

Regardless of when you decide to take the exam, the essential aspects of an IIFT preparation plan include:

  • reviewing the IIFT syllabus
  • obtaining the appropriate study material and IIFT preparation books
  • downloading previous years’ IIFT question papers and online mock tests for practice.

The IIFT exam has four sections: General Knowledge (GK), Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension (VARC), Logical Reasoning & Data Interpretation (LRDI), and Quantitative Aptitude (QA). When studying for the exam, it is advisable to start with the section that you find most challenging and work your way through to the easiest section. It is also important not to leave any topic incomplete, and to avoid studying multiple topics simultaneously to avoid confusion.

To prepare for the VARC section, focus on developing your reading speed and strengthening your grammar. Read newspapers, editorials, online blogs, novels, short stories, business reports, etc. To prepare for the GK section, read newspapers, and current affairs magazines, and watch business news. To prepare for the LRDI section, focus on understanding the concepts and formulae and practice solving sample questions at least three times. To prepare for the QA section, focus on understanding the basics of Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Mensuration.

It is also important to keep in mind that there is a negative marking in the IIFT exam, so you should only attempt questions that you can solve with 100% accuracy.

How tough is it to score 70 in the IGNOU BA?

KK
Kamya Kamra Posted On : October 20th, 2022
BA from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

You must conduct conceptual research. You must write answers that are free of grammatical errors. If you look through previous year question papers, you will notice that IGNOU asks less traditional questions. IGNOU asks questions based on your concept, such as "what do you think," "what is your opinion," and so on. Everything is contained in the study materials. You simply must take both the assignment and the TEE seriously. 

Start preparing for each TEE one month in advance, and dedicate that one month solely to your BA degree. It is advised to watch videos and read articles from GOOGLE. Concentrate on conceptual research. It will be beneficial to achieve more than 65% overall. It would not be difficult to obtain a 70% in IGNOU. Just consistency is required.

Students begin their preparation only a month before the test, following their board exams. The paper is divided into two sections: quantitative and verbal ability.
