Top MSc Entrance Exams in India

Candidates can go through the Top MSc entrance exams which are conducted on a national, state level and university level.

Q:   What is the difficulty level of IISER entrance test?
A:
IISER 2023 entrance examination is considered to be one of the finest and the toughest exams under Science stream undergraduate entrance examination as it provides the BSMS dual degree in the most reputed and research-oriented institutions across the country which is IISERs. On a comparison note, candidates will find the examination tougher than JEE Main exam, but below JEE Advanced. Unlike JEE or NEET the IISER aptitude test asks questions from both mathematics and Biology. Subjects which are found tougher in IISER entrance examination- Organic Chemistry can easily create hassle while giving the entrance examination as there are a lot of naming reactions, its electrophilic and nucleophilic attacks which are commonly asked in the examination. For the bio-background people, the Math section is not usually unscalable. With a decent understanding of regular 11th and 12th-grade concepts, you should be able to crack a few questions without much trouble. Of course, the caveat being that you rock it in the bio section and make up for it. So ensure that you don't falter at this juncture.
Q:   When should I start preparing for OUAT 2024 entrance exam?
A:

It is advisable to start preparing for the OUAT entrance exam 2024 as early as possible. The ideal time to start your preparation is at least 6 months before the exam. This will give you enough time to cover the entire syllabus and revise the concepts thoroughly. However, if you are unable to start your preparation 6 months in advance, you can still prepare well for the exam by following a strict study plan and making the most of the time you have.

Q:   How NTA will prepare the merit list if two candidates score same marks in ICAR AIEEA PG exam?
A:

The overall Merit/Rank List will be prepared by NTA separately for ICAR AIEEA PG exam. In the event of candidates getting equal marks in the exam, the merit will be determined in the following order:

(i) The candidate scoring less negative marks will be rated higher in merit

(ii) the candidate higher in age would be rated higher in merit

(iii) the candidate with higher score in Master’s/PG examination would be rated higher in merit
