Shiksha All Time Q&A

You should practice mock tests daily and while solving the questions always keep in mind that you have only some limited time to solve the mock test. This will help you to score good marks in the examination. By practicing the mock test, you can understand the exam pattern and accordingly manage your time to solve the question. Make a proper time-table and prepare accordingly. Study for at least five to six hours a day. Add some time for breaks and other activities which can help you to refresh. Practice only from those books which almost cover the entire syllabus of the exam. Students can also prefer NCERT books for preparations. Also, solve the previous year question papers and compare your answers with the given solved papers.

Suitability for girls will totally depend on the kind of girl you are. If you are one of those pretty 'I won't get my hands dirty with grease' kind of girls, then it's not for you. Because jobs generally might not be in an air conditioned cabin initially. The scope lies that many big PSUs and private manufacturing companies hire mechanical engineers. But if you can't make it through campus placements then you will have to do really well in GATE which is not that easy for all. Otherwise outside campus many end up taking IT jobs as they feel nowhere else to go. But, one thing for sure you will enjoy extra attention from boys as girls are definitely a minority in Mechanical Engineering classrooms.

"Treat Science like your best friend" and always focus on the chapter and try to overcome all the weak portion firstly which give you boost up to your confidence. Read your textbook carefully so that you don't miss any information. Text Book NCERT is the main arms for a fight with UPSEE question. As all question comes from your textbook, the syllabus is so large that it becomes difficult for one to cover all prescribed topics. Thus try to emphasize more on accuracy rather than quantity. At first read one chapter very well. Then solve all questions which comes from the chapter. Be attentive in your school's class because 80% UPSEE syllabus is same as that of board exam's syllabus.

Job in the core industry which is metallurgy, in this case, you have to maintain your CGPA above 7-8 depending upon the company you are shortlisted for and to the extent for my memory serves, I didn't see any core company in metallurgy in my season. Do we really have this industry in India? If you are looking for a job in any high-paying company just like 90% other IITians, you have to sit for several written or online exams where your specialisation doesn't matter at all except in some cases but they don't really constitute significantly. Mantra for getting such jobs is to build your personality and your resume. You have to maintain a decent CGPA as well so that you don't get chucked out because of their HR policies.
