Delhi University is one of the most favorite colleges among students for higher studies. Delhi University takes admission through entrance exam for some courses at UG and PG level. To be eligible for this exam the student has to score more than 75% marks in his/her best four subjects and 85%+ marks in English for general and 60% marks for other category students.

This is an offline exam of 150 questions with 2:30 hour's duration and there is negative marking for wrong answers and four marks are awarded for a single correct answer.

TISS BAT is an exam organized by Tata Institute for giving admission in three campuses for social science course. So scoring good marks in the exam is really important.
Here are few important mistakes students do during preparation of TISS BAT exam:
1. This exam contains two parts and scoring marks more than cutoff in the exam is important so students have to focus on the both parts equally.
2. Part A contains question from general awareness, current affairs in which students fail because they are not practicing well. For current affairs try to study newspaper on daily basis so that you can stay updated with what is happening around the world and try to read some good books as it will increase your confidence and general awareness as well.
3. Part B contains question from the selected courses and students have to write answers of 2 questions in 30 minutes.

Sociology is the subject in which students study about society and its diversity, culture, religious belief, language and many more related to society issues. This is not so much tough subject which requires background of arts stream. One can go for Undergraduate course after 12th from any stream. There is no specific need of stream and if students from other stream goes into this then no big problem is faced by them in their course time and if students take this subject sincerely then he or she can score good marks in civil services exams also.
Admission in this course is quite easy. The student who has scored more than 50% marks overall in class 12th are eligible for taking admission in this course. There is no age limit. Some colleges take their own exam for selecting students, such as BHU, JNU, Tezpur University, Allahabad University, Patna University and according to the rank and marks in their exams these education body gives admission.

Archaeology evokes a totally different sense when one hears of it. The diggings, the finds, the discoveries, the whole vibrancy of the mission are the things that fill up the life a true blue archaeologist. I feel that some courses of other subjects, though related, will go a long way in honing the skills. Studies of numismatics, study of museology, management are all required to improve career prospects. All these subjects inject the right amount of perspective and knowledge in repertoire of archaeologist. For attaining expertise all related subjects and topics surely needs to be studied. If it can be done during the graduation of main subject then it's all the better. Lot of time would be saved.
Thus to conclude, I would say that study of related subjects if possible during graduation is definite way of improving career prospects.

Hello,
Foreign Language: It has its own aura and fascination. It evokes awe. But for those into this, it's hard grind. Particularly the talking practice, listening practice are quite tough. Of course these days U-tube helps in polishing these skills but then nothing can compare live practice.It's a good to think of doing some course related to the history or culture or politics of the country of that language. It's great asset while teaching or while involved in translating activity. Perspective is a great leveler. If we have this then the balance of rationality kicks in and one starts having empathy for the language. Even a trip to all parts of the country of that language can teach many things. All round perspective and knowledge of the language as well as country of language needs to be learnt simultaneously while learning the language.
