This is the

Don’t miss the
important exams…
Whether your interest is in Engineering, medicine,
Law or Hotel management, the period between march
and may, at times even June is meant for writing a series
of entrance exams. Careers360 helps you prioritize…

aking endless rounds of post oices and banks is so tiring,

M cribs Dr Anandharaman, a harried father of a 17-year-old. His

daughter is appearing for 10+2 and aspires to be an engineer.
He has so far illed in 11 application forms for diferent state
and national-level entrances and a few are to follow. What is making
matters worse is the indiference of most of the test-conducting agencies,
especially the state-led ones like CBSE or NITs. None of them respond,
and their phone lines are perpetually busy, laments Anandharaman. To
help thousands of parents like him, we have put together detailed infor-
mation on over 50 entrances across the four major disciplines: Medicine,
Engineering, Law and Hotel Management.

For each of the entrances, we have provided detailed information on

the process of form illing, syllabus, test pattern, counselling process and
seats availability. Continuing our tradition, we will also publish adviso-
ries on how to crack them. During the course of next three months, in case
you have any queries with respect to any of these examinations you are
most welcome to call up our helpline number: 011- 40 360 360.

Entrance examinations in the country vary in their objective and scale

widely. The biggest of course is the JEE (Main) which sees over 1.5 mil-
lion aspirants. Other private and deemed universities that conduct their
own examinations for diferent programmes get between 5000-30,000
aspirants. It would make sense to appear for good private university
entrances because, quite a few of them ofer good scholarships for top-
pers in their respective examinations.

Do not miss out on applying to your preferred institutions. Good Luck!

board exam in 2014 are also eligible to

Cracking the exam

A career in medicine, especially in India
with roughly 50,000-odd seats at the
undergraduate level is based on your
ability to qualify national or state-level
tests. You need to test your ability in
Physics, Chemistry, Botany and Zool-
ogy. In these exams, apart from being
accurate, you also need to be alert and
very quick. In most of the exams for
which we are listing out key informa-
tion (nature, application procedure,
fees, important dates, intake, selection),
the answers have to be given in less than
a minute per question. The assessment
in a way relates to the profession that
demands an enquiring mind, the capac-
ity to acquire high levels of knowledge
which has to be constantly up-dated, and
the ability to relate to people as individ-
uals, each with their own health needs.
