My brother appeared in the written test for MSc Cognitive Sciences in February 2020. So, I can give you some insight about the same.
The written test analyses your comprehensive skills i.e. the ability to implement the things you read. The section will contain comprehension questions. It will also include some of the paragraphs or questions based on the Cognitive Science Journals.
Examination Pattern:
The written test is the same for everyone.
- It contains 4 questions of comprehensive type and 1 of data interpretation.
- The total marks for the examination are 25 and the duration is 1 hour.
Preparation Tips:
- For preparation, you can simply take some random comprehensive type question off the internet and solve it.
- In his examination, my brother had passages from pathophysiology of neurodegenerative disorders, case-studies on behavioral experiments using VR/AR, etc.
- The questions are designed in a way that everyone can interpret them.
Be patient and stay motivated. All the best for your exam.

How is food at IIM Indore?
IIM Indore has dedicated mess facilities and round-the-clock canteen facilities with vegetarian and non-vegetarian food options.
Various other snacks, biscuits, chocolates, ice cream, and soft drinks are available in the mess itself. Apart from the regular mess, a night canteen is run from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. for students to order anything from noodles to parathas.
You can't expect too much from the mess. Though there is Pi-Shop, JAM, Poha Point, Mess 2, and a temporary kiosk where various vendors come.
How is the engineering sciences department at IISER Bhopal?
Engineering Science at IISER Bhopal is a much newer course and it is more like B.Sc. and M.Sc. courses. It is a research-oriented course and not job-oriented like B.Tech. The course links engineering with research. You will get hands-on experience along with theoretical knowledge.
Engineering Science is offered under 3 different specializations - Chemical, Electrical, and Computer science. If you want to do research after your MS, then it is a good option.
The only hiccup is that this course is still new at IISER Bhopal and placement opportunities will be less. You may have to struggle for it as BS and MS in Engineering Sciences is not considered reliable options.
Can a student who is a year down in his 2nd year get placements in Pune University if he is satisfying all the eligibility criteria for 4th year students?
I have a few friends from Pune University and according to them, you will be eligible for placements. At Pune University, most of the companies have only two criteria for the placements.
- 90% of the companies ask students with more than 60% marks in aggregate. Some companies allow students with 55% marks in aggregate.
- No live backlogs.
Even if you had a year down or bad ATKT, it does not matter. If you have good aggregate and moderate aptitude and communication skills, you will get placed without much effort.
There might be some companies that may ask the reason for having a year down but this will not hinder your eligibility in HR and Technical HR interviews. You can also state your medical reasons if any.
Which university is better CEPT or NICMAR?
NICMAR has an edge over CEPT because of the wide choice of specializations. Especially if you choose a course related to the construction industry and other common courses then you will have a wide range of job opportunities. You can even get job offers from the IT sector. But, you should choose a course based on your interest.
What is IIIT Delhi criteria for m.tech interview/written test call?
IIIT Delhi criteria for MTech interview has been changed recently. It has removed the CodeChef round for the shortlisting of students. Now, there are 2 ways to apply
- GATE Mode: In this, the shortlisting is based on CGPA / percentage and GATE score. Once the students have been shortlisted based on GAT scores, they are directly called for a personal interview for the final selection.
- Non-GATE Mode: In this mode, the shortlisting criteria for the first round is percentage or CGPA followed by a written test and an interview.
Hope this helps you!
Which college should I prefer between the AIIMS Hyderabad and Osmania Medical College (because the AIIMS Hyderabad has just opened here)?
Here is my honest observation of both these medical colleges.
My friend studies at Osmania Medical College. According to him, Osmania does not have good facilities. First of all, the college and hospital are located far away from each other. The hospital infrastructure is in a poor condition. The faculty does not teach well, they basically teach from guides. No proper teaching schedule is followed, and campus strikes are very common.
AIIMS Hyderabad is very newly built. But it has top class faculty. Unlike Osmania, the teacher-student ratio is good. Moreover, around 200 acres of area is allocated for sports activities.
So I would suggest you choose AIIMS Hyderabad over Osmania.
How are placements for EEE at BIT Mesra, and does the big electrical MNC visit the campus?
The placements for EEE at BIT Mesra differ according to the year. However, they are not as good as they were a decade ago. Since the advent of GATE for the recruitment process of PSUs, they have stopped recruiting students from the campus.
A wide range of companies allows BIT Mesra EEE students to sit for the placement process-
- Coders are offered packages from Goldman Sachs, DE Shaw, Direct-I, etc.
- Freescale offers jobs to those who are good at core electronics.
- TATA Steel, Maruti, Mahindra, L&T, Trident, Mitsubishi, Orient, etc. offer positions to those who are good at core electrical.
- EXl, Mu-sigma, Stellium, etc. recruit students with good analytical skills.
Unless you are passionate about coding, as a EEE student, it is unlikely for you to be good at it, that is too good enough to beat a CSE/IT candidate. Also, EEE at BIT Mesra is negligent towards electronics. Therefore, in reality, only the last two categories are left for EEE students.
Thus, as a EEE student at BIT Mesra, you can get placed in the core electrical companies or companies like EXE, Stellium, etc. But if you wish to go for core electronics or coding, you will have to strengthen your knowledge and skills in these domains, all by yourself. The above-mentioned companies are the big MNCs that visit the campus with core electrical profiles.
