EntRAnCE ExAms

This is the
entrance season.
Dont 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,
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 information 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 advisories 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 million 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 toppers in their respective examinations.
Do not miss out on applying to your preferred institutions. Good Luck!

ENTRANCE EXAMS

MEDICINE
F

irst step that one takes to become

a doctor or rather a professional
adept in the ield of medicine is
to opt for subjects in Life Sciences, particularly Biology while in high
school. The next step is to prepare for
medical entrance examinations, during
or after the year of passing class 12, that
are held mostly in the month of April,
May and June every year. Clearing the
exam successfully helps you secure
admission in a medical school to undertake an undergraduate medical degree,
primarily MBBS or BDS (Dental).
There are slight variations in eligibility norms for various entrances. Usually candidates must be of 17 years of
age and must have passed 10+2 from a
recognized board with 50/45 percent
in the aggregate (40 percent for SC/
ST). The candidates appearing for their
board exam in 2014 are also eligible to
apply. The candidates must have studied
Physics, Chemistry, Maths or Biology.
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 Zoology. 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 information (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 capacity to acquire high levels of knowledge
which has to be constantly up-dated, and
the ability to relate to people as individuals, each with their own health needs.

ENGINEERING

There are at least 2 million undergraduate seats

in 3956 engineering colleges across the country
Rohit Gautam

hoosing to do Engineering is
about linking to the idea of converting scientiic knowledge into
technology and technology into
innovations. Engineering is at the core
of economic growth and plays a critical role in tackling global challenges,
including water and food security, climate change and biodiversity, infrastructure and energy, health and population. In India, typically the challenge
before engineers is in manufacturing,
natural resources, infrastructure and
science sectors.
There are close to 95 countries that
have a population less than the number
of engineering seats we have in India
and this includes names like Estonia,
Mauritius, and Bhutan. Standing tall at
around 2.0 million seats in engineering
at the undergraduate level, the issue of

employability comes to the forefront.

With the rapid rise of vacant seats in
engineering colleges, the concern of
students (and parents) is increasingly
seen to be focused on the quality of
engineering education these institutions
are ofering. Quality institutions irst
tend to eliminate the non-focused and
ill-suited candidates and then focus on
inally selecting among the shortlisted
ones for their BE/B.Tech programmes.
This exercise is carried out in diferent
modes where candidates have to appear
in two written tests, or sometime give
one written test and add the qualifying
examination score (class 12th or equivalent). We list out the exams with their
important details in a manner that it
gives you an overview of entrance tests
that you should not miss out based on
your preference and need.w

ASHISH DAHIYA
Asso. Prof. Institute of Hotel

MDU Rothak

This course gives you

an insight on operational

approaches in addition to
the communication and

Most students go for a three-year

programme in hospitality. During the
irst year, the students have to learn the
basics related to the hospitality industry. The common subjects for all are
Front oice, Housekeeping, and Food &
Beverages Production/Services. Apart
from how to serve, a hotel management
student gets to learn minute details such
as measurement of tea cup, plate and
cutlery etc. This is what makes him/her
diferent from a non-trained professional, shares another expert. During the
second year, students go for an industrial training of 20 weeks and learns
hands-on. In last year, the students
study about inance, business environment, strategic management and other
related subjects.
The most popular exam is the Hotel
Management Joint Entrance Exam
conducted for admission to the 16 Hotel
Management institutes set up by Government of India. There are also other
leading institutions set up by corporate
groups with interests in the sector like
the Welcomgroup, the Oberois and the

LAW
L

egal studies is one of those areas

in the ield of education in India
which underwent major changes in the last two decades. This
transformation began with the establishment of the National Law School of
India University in Bangalore in 1987.
The National Law School, Bangalore
proved to be qualitatively diferent from
most of the university law departments
and ailiated law colleges. The success
of this experiment led to the establishment of such law schools in several other
states and there are ifteen of them now
admitting more than 2000 students
every year.
Law courses are of ive years in duration and the student is awarded a BA
LLB. Some do ofer a BSc or BCom version too. The Bar Council of Indias regulation requires Law Schools to teach
12 courses on Liberal Arts/Science/
Commerce/Management, wherein the
subjects are grouped as one major and
two minors. To illustrate this point, if a
student opts for BA LLB (Hons) course,
he/she will have to study 6 courses of
Political Science, 3 courses of Economics and 3 courses of Sociology. Again,
the above is only an illustration and
the scheme of subjects ofered will vary
from University to University. With
respect to the Law courses, most of the
Universities ofer minimum number of
mandatory courses as prescribed by the
Bar Council of India.
Young lawyers these days enjoy an
unprecedented range of options. While
the most popular options after graduation remain law irms or corporate inhouse legal departments, we also see
private-sector litigation emerging as
an option of choice. LPOs have also
emerged as a lucrative option as outsourcing is gaining ground.

Bar CounCil of india says 60,000 70,000 law graduates join the profession every year
