Shiksha Top Questions

Hi,
I can suggest you 2 names from DU colleges, for BA Political Science. First preference would be Hindu College and then Ramjas College.
You get quality education in both these colleges. These are very different as compared to the other colleges around. You must know that you beed to obtain good marks in 12th exams.
Delhi University is the most preferred choice of today's youth who want to pursue a UG course in Political Science because of the different quality of education provided there. You are assured to provide a quality education if you decide for B.A. Political Science in any of the colleges mentioned by me.
You will be provided with the chance not only to excel in your academics but also in extra-curricular activities which will help you to transform into a graduate.
Political Science is one of the most famous courses of Delhi University and is opted by many students.
Let me give you some more highlights in both the colleges.
Hindu College is considered as a best college for political science. It has its own parliament that also helps in overall development of students.
At Ramjas College, the department keeps organizing seminars, lecturers by eminent people throughout out the year. Many of the faculty members are associated who are at post-graduate level in the University Department itself.
So, without any fear, you can go for either Hindu College or Ramjas College to pursue BA in Political Science. All the best.

Hi,
SET is the entrance exam for Law courses in Symbiosis University. I do not think that there are books available in the market that deal specifically with SET. However, you can use the books available for CLAT while you are preparing for SET. If you have enrolled yourself in any coaching institute, the material provided by that coaching institute would be sufficient. If you go through the entire material, it would be more than enough. Apart from that, you can use books like Wren and Martin and Word Power Made Easy for English, Objective Lucent for GK, MK Pandey to cover both verbal as well as non-verbal reasoning. For legal, you can use Andhra Pradesh Bhardwaj.
The important topics are comprehension part in English, Current affairs for the last 6 months for GK, Puzzles for Analytical Reasoning. However, all the subjects should be given equal importance to crack SET with a good rank.

UPES Law Studies Aptitude Test is the entrance exam for Law Degree Courses. The exam is not very different from CLAT. The subjects that are tested in CLAT are also tested here. These subjects are five in number: English including comprehension, General Knowledge, Maths, Legal Aptitude and Logical Reasoning.
The preparation for the exam should start with going through past year papers to identify what topics are relevant and what areas to focus upon. Now coming to books, for English, you can use any book which covers comprehensively all the topics. Focus should be on comprehension part. For GK, you can use Pearson or Lucent. For current affairs, you can refer to monthly magazines. For Mathematics, you can use Quantitative Aptitude by RS Agarwal. the basic topics like percentages, average, profit and loss are essential. For Legal, there is no specific book but going through past year papers of ULSAT and other exams would help. For Logical, you can again use books by RS Aggarwal.

ACLAT is conducted by Alliance University for admissions to its 5-year integrated law courses. The pattern of exam is quite similar to CLAT expect for the fact that legal aptitude constitutes 45 marks and logical reasoning constitutes 45 marks.
There are no specific books in the market for ACLAT. However, if I come to the preparation part, you should start your preparation with going through past year papers which would provide you with a better idea as to what is relevant and what is not.
Then look for the books which cover those topics comprehensively.You can use RS Aggarwal for Maths and logical reasoning. For English, you can use books of Arihant publications or any other. For General Knowledge, you can refer to Arihant and Lucent to cover portions of static GK, Geography, and polity. There is no specific topic which should be focused more except for the fact that more time should be given to the subject that you are weak in.

Hi,
First of all, I think the fact that IMS Law College is comparatively new and a private college gives an edge to Faculty of law, Allahabad University which is a centralised government university. Now, let us discuss pros and cons of both colleges. Pros of Faculty of law, Allahabad University are the faculty and alumni basis which includes many chief justice of India and prominent lawyers. Another pro is the fact that you can intern with some phenomenally well lawyer in Allahabad high court and if you are going for litigation, it can be a good choice. However, the placements of Allahabad University are not really encouraging since it has started 5 year integrated course recently. Moreover, the red tapism is too much in centralised university and autonomy to student body is restricted. Now, coming to IMS Noida, which is among few private university focusing on moots, debates and other co-curricular activities which is a major pro of it. Another pro is the fact that it is in NCR and many good firms are established in NOIDA unlike the case of Allahabad University. The alumni is almost negligible and the high court internship can be tiresome owing to distance issues. Overall, it is upon your preferences whether you want a government university or a university promoting activities other than academic excellence.
Good luck.

Hi,
Since BTC is a two year regular course, you may look for distance courses in any of the subjects you wish to specialize in like B.A/M.A mathematics, psychology, education etc. You may also pursue online courses related to education, education management, education technology etc from portals like coursera.org, EdX. Another option is ignou that offers certificate courses related to psychology, child development, counselling, blended learning, curriculum designing, policy making, subject specific certificate courses are also available. Check few online courses at EdX here:

Hope this gives you the fair idea of what all you can do with BTC. The only caution you need to take is balancing the two courses simultaneously as it might require lot of rigour.

Hi there,
Well, the university doesn't have much reputation in terms of placements as such. Also, the 5 year integrated course has been recently introduced in last 3-4 years and still the first batch has to pass out.
The claims as to placements in campus are not really true as none of the recruiters are available as of now for the Law course and not a single student has been placed yet to the best of my knowledge .
Also, you have opportunities which any graduate would have after completing his or her graduation.
Also, a traditional university doesn't have much to offer as such.
You may rather prefer a specialized institute in law for better placements and career prospects.
You will have to be on your own in terms of placements after completing graduation and then you may option for anything you like including litigation, judiciary or UPSC.
Also, you may option for legal jobs at banks or firms which depends on your C.V.
The better it would be the better offers you could get.
