What do I do to crack the NIMHANS entrance exam for a post-graduation in neurosurgery?
NIMHANS conducts an online MCQ based entrance test for Mch/DM Neurology and MD Psychiatry. A common exam is held for all these courses, and later on, a separate merit list is published for each. You have to select your course while applying, and can’t change it later on. You can apply for all three courses or one/two of them.
Here is some information on the entrance exam:
- It is a one-hour test with 150 MCQs.
- 1 mark is awarded for each correct answer, and ¼ mark is deducted for each wrong answer.
- 90-100 questions are asked from 19 MBBS subjects. These questions are not related to CNS. With good preparation for other PGMEE, you can answer them.
- Regular one-liner guidebook questions are asked.
- 50-60 MCQs are directly/indirectly related to CNS. For these, read the neuro aspect of all major subjects- Anatomy, Physio, Medicine, Psychiatry, Surgery, Patho, Micro, Pharma, Radio, and Anaesthesia. These questions are solvable given that you prepare well in the last 10-15 days before the exam.
The entrance is overall easy. However, the number of seats is very low, so the margin of error for silly mistakes is very low.
Read all subjects before the last 10 days. Then, focus on the Neurology part in the last 10 days. By following these tips, you’ll successfully crack the NIMHANS entrance test.
If I take admission to IGNOU in January session when will my term-end exam be conducted?
If you enroll in the January session:
-
Yearly programs — You must submit your assignments by September 30th and your TEE by December 30th.
-
Semi-annual/semester programs — You must turn in your assignments by April 15th, and your TEE by June 30th.
If you enroll in the July session.
-
Yearly program—You must submit your assignments by March 31st, and your TEE in June.
-
Semi-annual/semester programs — You must turn in your assignments by October 15th, and your TEE in December.
IGNOU exams are held twice a year. In June and December. Occasionally, IGNOU extends the deadline.
There's one more thing to think about. Assignments for the July session and the January session (for the following year of that July session) are the same in IGNOU. Also, when you submit the assignments, make sure that they are the most recent available assignments for your course for the current year in which you are submitting them. For example, if you enrolled in January 2021 and did not complete the assignments in the first year, you must complete the newly available assignments for the next year, which are for the January 2022 session.
Do 12th grades matter in IIM?
It depends on the particular IIM. IIM Indore places a lot of emphasis on class 12 scores while some IIMs like IIM Calcutta do not give much importance to past academic scores and solely evaluate you on the basis of your CAT scores.
It would be wrong to say that 12th grades don’t matter at all for admission to IIMs but yes they give you a bit of an advantage over those who have performed poorly in class 12th. Some IIMs give weightage to class 12th marks for shortlisting candidates for admission while some don't. But if you have scored well in CAT, your class 12th score does not matter much.
What is the minimum score required in NMAT to guarantee admission into NMIMS MUMBAI?

NMIMS Mumbai NMAT Cutoff 2024 is expected to be 232 for the MBA program. 70% Weightage is assigned to the NMAT exam for admission to the MBA program.
What can be done to crack the JEE (Advanced) and get into IIT-Bombay?
Don’t be fixed upon a certain agenda and keep your options open. If you will restrict yourself in such a way you might limit your options as well as the capacity to give your best.
Instead, I suggest that you try to analyze why exactly you want to pursue Engineering. Is it because of the sheep mentality or do you really want to build things?
Once you are sure, then figure out how exactly you will be achieving this goal. Set achievable goals for yourself and work sincerely on fulfilling them. Reward yourself for very little achievement on the way. This will gradually increase your confidence and pave the way to achieve much more.
However, a very important thing is to dream but not demand. That is you should be passionate about a certain thing but not fixated on it too much to the extent that if you fail to achieve it, you lose much more. So you can desire to pursue BTech in CSE at IIT Bombay but leave room for other options as well.
Don’t stress yourself out too much and just concentrate on the present, your future will be visible sooner or later.

What is the process to cancel a course from IGNOU?

Visit the regional centre and request that your admission be cancelled.
-
To find the email address of your regional centre, simply login to IGNOU and select the view address option in the regional centre column.
You will receive information about your regional centres, such as their email address and phone number.
You must include the following information in your email.
-
Your name

Your registration number
-
Your program's title
-
Attach your IGNOU ID and Aadhar card (or any other ID for identification, such as a voter ID) and explain why you are withdrawing.
If you are a new candidate who has not yet received your study materials, you will be refunded, but I have no idea if you are an old student. After cancelling your admission, it usually takes 15 to 20 days to receive your refund.
Another thing is that you must check your admission status on your own by logging in to your account because they do not notify you via email or text message.
