Exam

The primary resource for admission into the B.Tech programme at Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology (RGIPT) is JEE Advanced results, as it tends to nurture the best students from an academic and technical background. 75% in JEE Mains is nevertheless not enough for directly gaining admission into B.Tech by RGIPT, as JEE Advanced is concerned most of the time. However, seats are likely to be remaining unfilled after the first round of admission, and it again can take such students with good JEE Mains scores.

So, check RGIPT's admission portal to know the detailed cutoffs and other criteria applicable for the academic session currently going on.

In general, NBU conducts its own entrance exam for admission into M.Sc programs. Except for a few M.Sc programs, all other M.Sc programs by NBU require a score obtained through NBU's own entrance exam. These entrance exams will usually be subjects for candidates based on the syllabus from their undergraduate studies.

Moreover, some admission programs may also be based on the results of the following national or state-level examinations:

GATE (for M.Sc in Physics or any other related course)
CSIR NET/JRF (for the research-based M.Sc course)
WBJEE (West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination) (in some cases).
It must be checked with respect to the particular concerned M.Sc programme as certain programs may have some specific conditions or accept certain other entrance examination scores. Therefore, all further details regarding the entrance examinations and the eligibility requirements for these examinations are to be found on the official portal for admissions of NBU.

To get admission into B.Sc. programs of NBU, 75 percentile has a good chance for WBCHSE (West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education) students, but it depends on some conditions:

Cutoff for Course: The cutoff varies from year to another according to course, number of applicants, and overall performance. Normally, it will be higher for B.Sc courses in popular streams such as Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.

Category: In general, for the reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC), there might be a difference in the cutoff according to the normal category.

Specific Stream or Department: The cutoff will be limited for certain specialised streams like that of Biotechnology or Environmental Science.

It will always be advisable to check the exact cut-off details for the B.Sc Program for 2023 on the official NBU admission portal. 75 percentile will be competitive, but it will be course and overall applicant dependent.

When the admission time arrived in the B.Sc. programme of North Bengal University, admission judging started with much expectation for a 75 percentile in WBCHSE (West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education) because that much length also applied under specific conditions:

Cutoff for Specific Course: The general cut off depends on course, number of candidates, and total performance. For B.Sc, cutoff is generally comparatively high in popular streams such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology.

Category: In general for the reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC) creta some cut off differentials with respect to the normal category.

Specific Stream or Department: The specific cutoff is mostly limited to certain specialised streams such as Biotechnology or Environmental Science.

It is always better to check on the official NBU admission site for the exact cutoff information regarding the B.Sc Program for the year 2023. The 75 percentile may be competitive but is dependent upon the particular course and total no of candidates applied.

For the NUCAT entrance exam on February 17th for the admission to Nitte Institution Mangalore, the best preparation would be to bring up to date yourself with the 10+2 syllabus as far as Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics is concerned. Some of the books suggested are Arihant's "Physics for JEE Main and Advanced" at INR 595 and "Chemistry for JEE Main and Advanced" at INR 545 and "Mathematics for JEE Main and Advanced" at INR 645. Also, the use of M-CUBE layouts like the NUCAT previous year question papers that will cost between INR 200-500. Distribute your study time in the following ratios 30% for Physics, 30% for Chemistry and 40% for Mathematics. Because of that, you are to allocate 60 seconds to each question in the exam.

NDA preparation is a multidimensional approach imbibing academic knowledge with physical fitness and mental prepare. Here is a blueprint to get you started: 

Know the Exam Pattern and Syllabus: Well the NDA exam is divided into two papers:
Mathematics (300 marks)
General Ability Test (GAT) (600 marks), which includes:
English
General Knowledge (Physics, Chemistry, General Science, History, Geography, Current Affairs)
So, the first thing that you need to work upon is a clear and thorough understanding of the detailed syllabus for both these sections. You can refer to the official notifications by UPSC or trusted educational resources like Byju's or Gradeupudy Plan*:

Daily timetable with allocated time for every subject.
Revision and solving the previous years' question papers to get acquainted with question patterns and time management.
Focus on the weak areas, spend more time on preparation for such areas.
Mathematics Preparation:

Mathematics topics include Algebra, Trigonometry, calculus, and co-ordinate Geometry. These are very essential topics in terms of scoring marks.
Practice problem sets given in books like R.D. Sharma and M.L. Khanna.
Practicing continuously on online tests and solving problems of last year's papers build up the speed and helps gain accuracy really well .
General Ability Test (GAT):

English: Develop comprehension, vocabulary, and grammar. Grammar books by Wren & Martin and vocabulary books by Norman Lewis will help.
General Knowledge: Read newspapers, magazines, and online news sites. For static GK, read Lucent's GK or NCERT books on History, Geography, and General Science.
Physics and Chemistry: NCERT books for Classes 9 to 12 serve as a good base. For Physics also look at H.C. Verma.
