How hard did you prepare for the AFMC Pune? What were your struggles? Did you get it?
One of my friends recently got admission in AFMC Pune and surprisingly enough she claims that she never prepared for her college purposely. In fact, it was only after clearing the cutoff for screening that she decided to actually consider getting admission. The only trick that helped her was that she focused only on preparing for NEET initially and did not worry about the screening. The trust is, that the screening process is rather unpredictable and not much can be prepared in a short span of time. So it’s better to invest your efforts and energy in something that is completely in your control. Once you clear NEET, you can start preparing for screening also.
Hope this helps you!
How do I prepare for non-tech companies coming for placements in NSIT?
Here are some important tips that you can follow to get placed in a good non-tech company during the NSUT Delhi placements-
- Good companies start visiting the campus in the last week of July. So don’t procrastinate on making your resume. Every company seeks qualities in a resume. Like, Finance companies focus on your academics and any related course, while Consulting companies appreciate case studies/MUNs in your resume. Keep an updated resume. In case you are short on material, mention any prizes, competitions, or olympiads. Do mention some social work you did as that will add ‘stars’ to your resume.
- The first round comprises MCQs to test your logical reasoning and quantitative aptitude. Companies like Axtria also test your verbal ability (grammar and critical reasoning specifically), and a bit of coding knowledge. Practice these questions from a CAT preparation book/ modules from a good MBA coaching institute. Choose a book according to your comfort- from basic to advanced. Practice a few sets of verbal and logical reasoning questions daily. You can learn coding basics from ‘Test your C skills’ and ‘Let us C’. Data Analytics companies like Axtria also ask a little about DBMS, SQL, and OOPS concepts. Study them from C++ by Sumita Arora class 12th or online.
- Consulting companies then focus on how you deal with cases and guess estimates. Read/Practice these from ‘Case in Point’, ‘Ace the Case’
and ‘Wharton guide’. For puzzles and brainteasers, read the book ‘Acing the Brainteaser Interview’. Indiabix is a good source for puzzles, quantitative and logical aptitude.
- Practice common HR interview questions.
- Research well about your target company, and listen carefully during the company’s presentation, and ask smart questions during the company’s
presentation or interview.
Try to remain calm and composed. You will get selected by a good company during the NSUT Delhi placements. But if things don’t go as planned, remember that everything gets better eventually.
Could you please give some tips to score more than 400+ in BITSAT?
The BITSAT exam requires clear concepts and good time management. People may advise you that if you prepare well for JEE Main and JEE Advanced, you will be prepared for BITSAT. This is not entirely true. You may have a clear concept about the subjects once you prepare well for JEE Mains and Advanced but that does not mean you will be able to score 400+
Given below are a few tips which you can follow to score well.
- For Chemistry, you should prepare from NCERT books thoroughly. This subject determines the ultimate score of this entrance exam. NCERT books are enough for Chemistry preparation. BITS is known to ask questions from NCERT books.
- Maths and physics are entirely conceptual and you need a positive grip on both of these subjects to do well in the exam. For Physics, the Universe chapter is important in this regard. You can follow the Arihant books for the chapter.
- After making a subject-based study, you should do practice questions with proper time management for each section. Arihant’s BITSAT book is best for chapter-wise preparation. Also, try to solve the previous year’s questions.
- Give regular mocks and try to solve the paper within 3 hours. Further, try reducing the time you need to answer all the questions without making any mistakes.
- Arihant’s practice series can be a bit difficult. You can opt for the embibe test series.
- You can’t learn English and logic in just a year. To get an idea about the questions asked in the examination, you can follow the Arihant books.

What is the difference between the preparation strategy for GATE and that of M Tech (CS) at ISI Kolkata?
I am not fully aware of IITs courses but could still try to give some insight of the same on whatever I got to know from the internet.
- The ISI M.Tech CS entrance exam includes an optional Objective Paper Mathematics and a Subjective Paper (you may choose CS).
- The majority of ISI's placements are in analytics firms so it would be advised to not choose ISI if you're looking for a core CS job.
- If you are interested in Algorithm Design, Machine Learning, and, most importantly, Cryptography, then ISI would be a good option.
- After completing your MTech CS at ISI, you will have several research opportunities in ISI and also abroad.
- ISI has excellent theoretical CS faculty (Mathematics, Statistics, Cryptography, Machine Learning, Data Science).
- So, if you're interested in learning more about these topics, you can come to ISI.
Please do not expect to find Developer, Coder, or Core CS work at ISI after completing your M.Tech. Students have a misconception about it and come here with high hopes which ultimately backfires.
What should a non CS student of IIT Delhi do to get job in IT or a coding related job?
Many IITians target a coding job or a job in the IT sector be it CS or non-CS students. This is somewhat easy for CS students as they are in direct contact with computer science courses and have enough knowledge of the same. So, what should Non-CS students do to get IT or coding jobs?
Non-CS students can do the Data Structures course as an open course. This course will mar you somewhat suitable for Software Engineering roles and interviews. The knowledge acquired through these courses is more than enough to clear the interview successfully. The next step is to determine what CGPA will get you what kind of job.
- 9-10 CGPA: Anything above 9 is a glittering aspect in your resume and will get you offers from Samsung, South Korea.
- 8.5 CGPA: This is also considered decently good and carries enough weightage in your resume to get you good packages
- Above 7.5: This is the usual cutoff for IT companies while shortlisting candidates.
Extracurriculars hardly matter in the IT industry unless you are targeting HUL or ITC.
For Finance jobs, the Probability and Stochastic Processes course in the 4th semester is a good choice.
