0
 

NTA has officially released the answer keys and the same is available for download on ntaneet.nic.in. Students can login to the official website, check the respective answer keys and submit objections if any.

The facility to check NEET answer key and submit objection will be available till 31st May 11:50 pm. As per NEET official notice, the candidates are required to pay a sum of Rs 1000 as processing fees for each question challenged. The payment of the fees needs to be made through Debit/Credit Card/Net Banking. The processing fees would be refunded if challenge is found to be correct. No challenge would be entertained without receipt of processing fees.

Doubtful Questions

There are three questions about which doubts are being raised and students are saying that NTA official keys are wrong. There are 3 such questions in Biology.

Question No 1: Cells in G-O phase

  1. Enter the cell cycle
  2. Suspend the cell cycle
  3. Terminate the cell cycle
  4. Exit the cell cyle

The correct answer for this question is option b) not d) as claimed by a lot of coaching institutes. This question was also asked in WBJEE few years back. Answer key provided by NTA is perfectly okay here.

Question No 2: Which of the following statements is correct

  1. Cornea consists of dense connective tissue of elastin and can repair itself.
  2. Cornea is convex, transparent layer which is highly vascularized.
  3. Cornea consists of dense matrix of collagen and is the most sensitive portion of the
  4. Cornea is an external, transparent and protective proteinaceous covering of the eye-ball.

The correct answer for this question is c) as well as d). Official answer-key released by NTA is c) and so, students can challenge the official key released for this question.

Question No 3: Consider the following statements:

  1. Coenzyme or metal ion that is tightly bound to enzyme protein is called prosthetic group.
  2. A complete catalytic active enzyme with its bound prosthetic group is called apoenzyme.

Select the correct option.

  • A is true but B is false
  • Both A and B are false
  • A is false but B is true.
  • Both A and B are true.

NTA official key  for this question is 1) as opposed to answer provided by coaching institutes which is 2). In this case too, answer provided by NTA seems correct and challenging it would not yield much benefit.

Apart from this, there are few other questions too about which objections are being raised. But, they seem okay on closer scrutiny and so, there won’t be much benefit in challenging those questions.

How to Challenge NEET 2019 Wrong Answer Keys

Students can challenge the wrong answer key by the end of today. This would be reviewed by the expert committee and if the objections are found to be true then revised answer keys would be released. The score of the candidates would be calculated based on the final score key.

Steps to challenge NEET answer Key 2019:

  1. Login to the official website of NEET with registration number and passwd
  2. Select the question booklet code
  3. Choose the question number and answer option to challenge
  4. Give your comments for challenge answer
  5. Pay Rs 1000 for each challenge question through online payment gateways

Top 6 Tips on how to improve your English

0

Speaking impeccable English does not come naturally to everyone. It is a skill that needs to be cultivated. And we are here to help. So in this blog, we will discuss about the top 6 tips on how to improve your English.

Top 6 Tips on how to improve your English

English is important. We all know that. To get ahead in life, you need to have a command over the English language. However the importance of English is not limited to that alone. Even for normal day-to-day interaction, you need to be able to speak English. In today’s world, knowing how to speak good English is a bare minimum. So it’s time you brush up on your English speaking skills. Listed below are the top 6 tips on how to improve your English:

Work on your grammar 

  • Grammar is essential both for verbal communication and examinations. If you want to become fluent in English, then you should work on your grammar.
  • This will enhance your preparation for various English language-based exams.

Cultivate the habit of reading books and watching English shows

  • We learn most from the books we read and from the things we hear or see
  • In order to confidently and correctly speak English, it is essential that you take active interest in learning the language
  • From reading books, to watching TV shows and sitcoms:Learning can happen from anywhere.

Try to interact in English with friends and Family

  • People learn from each other.
  • You can learn English from each and other and the people around you.
  • Make it a habit to interact in English with friends and family.
  • The more you interact in English, the better your command over the language will be.

Learn English phrases

  • To speak English well, you don’t need a vast vocabulary. The main idea is to convey the message in a simple and effortless manner.
  • Learning phrases in English can help.
  • If you know 100 phrases, you are likely to become more fluent in English.
  • You will also be more acquainted with how English speakers actually interact.
  • This will go a long way in improve your vocabulary.

Don’t try to translate each and every word in English

  • Do not try to translate each and every word from your Mother tongue to English.  By doing this you will end up forming sentences that do not make sense.
  • This is so because the order of words is different in each language.
  • Not every word, phrase, or sentence can be translated as it is.

Practice what you listen

  • Practice is the key to success.
  • Reading, observing, and speaking what you read and observed are essential if you want to learn a language
  • The same holds true for English.
  • Practice speaking out-loud: It helps you memorize, improves your pronunciation and intonation.
  • Refer to standard English Grammar books, like Wren n Martin.

Conclusion

Follow these steps and you will soon see positive changes. You will not speak impeccable English overnight. But you will be able to see the change in the way you interact. This will take practice, hard work and dedication. No exaggeration there. This will take a lot of practice. English speaking is an art. And to master it, you need to think like an artist. And you need to act like an artist.

The importance of English language for students, job-seekers and PR enthusiasts

4

In this blog, we will discuss the 5 English speaking rules that you should know. But before we do, let’s discuss the utility of English, and why it is relevant for us in the first place:

 

125 Million people in India speak English. Do you?

Look up the number of people in India who speak English. Google it. You will be amazed at just how many of us have adopted the language as our very own. About 125 million people in India speak English. This makes India the second largest English-speaking country.

If you can read and understand this blog, consider yourself lucky. Because truth is, your English speaking, reading, and comprehension skills will go a long way in deciding what your future will look like in the next few years. We will be elaborating on the matter, so continue reading.

 

The importance of English language for job seekers in India

English is a recognized global language of communication. In fact, it is also the official language of India. This means that all official communication in India is done in the English language. Most importantly, it is the minimum qualification that employers look for in a potential employee. If you can’t speak the language, the job will go to someone else. It’s that simple.

Why is that?

The answer is simple.

Without working knowledge of this language, you will be unable to communicate. Without communication, you will be unable to understand the nature of work that you are expected to do, and so on and so forth. Without this understanding, you will be crippled in your interactions. And you don’t want that. Neither does your future employer.

What this means?

English language is important for employment.

Period.

 

The importance of English language for Indian people who want to study or settle abroad

What most people don’t know is the kind of impact that English can have in your life. Especially, if you are someone who wants to study or settle abroad: English is key.

The importance of English is more prominent for two groups of people:

  • Indian students who want to study abroad
  • Indian citizens who want to settle abroad

The importance of English language for Indian students who want to study abroad

Have you always dreamt of studying abroad?

Perhaps you want to pursue a masters or a PhD?

If the answer is yes, it’s high time you brush up on your English language skills.

Most Universities demand that you score certain marks/grades in TOEFL or IELTS. Here is a definition of what these are:

  • IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is an international standardized test of English language proficiency for non-native English language speakers.
  • TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is a standardized test to measure the English language ability of non-native speakers wishing to enroll in English-speaking universities.

If you want to study in a University abroad, you need to pass either IELTS or TOEFL. Every  University will either ask for your IELTS or TOEFL scores. Moreover, they will expect you to ace these tests with flying colors.

And guess what?

It is not that easy.

 

The importance of English language for Indian citizens who want to settle abroad

For those of you reading this, you probably already know the importance of English language for you.

If you are serious about settling abroad, I am guessing that you have done your research.

If you have done your research, you most probably know that English is important for PR.

To settle down in a first world country like USA or Canada, you need to be fluent in English. And you have to prove your proficiency in the language.

Among the many things that you need to be granted PR (Permanent residence) in another country, English language proficiency is one.

Your proficiency in English language is tested.

And like we mentioned above: IT IS NOT EASY.

 

How proficiency in English language can help 

Our discussion above shows that whether you are a student, a job seeker, or someone who wishes to settle abroad: English language is important.

It increases your chances of landing a good job in a multinational company within your home country. It increases your chances of scoring exceptionally well in English language tests like IELTS and TOEFL. This in turn helps you study and settle abroad easier.

Top 5 tips on time management to help you succeed in entrance exams

0
 

Entrance exams play a crucial role in our lives. Whether it is for post graduate studies or Government job exams, you need to write entrance exams. As such, their importance in our lives cannot be undermined. And guess what else cannot and should not be undermined? Time Management. That’s right. Time management is central to cracking any exam because good time management is what decides our fate in these exams. So in this blog post, we will list down the top 5 tips on time management to help you succeed in entrance exams.

Advantages of time management for entrance exams

The best part about time management is that it drastically reduces tension and calms you down even in stressful moments during exams. It increases your productivity as you know just how much time you should devote to each question. Thus, you end up saving a lot of your time and are able to focus on questions that you actually know in your exams. This gives you the confidence you need and the motivation to carry on.

Top 5 tips on time management for entrance exams

Now that we know the advantages of time management in entrance exams, let’s learn how to manage time in the first place. Listed below are the top 5 tips on time management to help you ace your entrance exams:

Organize your time

Organization helps eliminate stress. It helps you devise a better strategy. Start organizing your to-do list at least a whole month in advance before your exam.  Set realistic goals and organize your time for the upcoming days and weeks so you know exactly what to study, and when to study it. By doing this, you will have a clear picture of how much time you should devote to each subject and topic.This way, you will be able to organize your time and manage it better.

Analyze your requirements

Cracking entrance exams is not just about effective study. It is also about studying according to your needs and requirements and deciding the best strategy for you. Analyze how much time you actually require for you studies, your sleep, and other miscellaneous activities. Based on this analysis, cut down on the time you spend on unnecessary activities and make more time for your studies. But make sure that making time for your studies does not impinge on your other activities. Sleep is just as important and so are other activities you do in a day. So analyze your requirements and strike a healthy balance.

Prioritize your subjects

The best way to manage your time is by prioritizing your subjects and allotting time to them accordingly. Devote lesser time to your strong areas and more time to weaker areas. This way, you are able to take a proactive step in determining how to go about with your preparation. This also helps you manage your time better.

Prepare a schedule

The most important, yet extremely hard thing to do in terms of time management is preparing a time-table. Stick to a balanced and simple schedule. Remember to include sleep time, break time, and other activities alongside your study time. Set a study schedule and plan out a timing you can commit to. Create a weekly routine, put in a certain number of hours in a day for your studies, and review your progress on a weekly interval. This will help you manage your time better, which in the long run will also help you manage your time in your exams.

Adhere to your schedule

The biggest challenge that you will face once you follow the above steps is to actually follow through and commit to the commitments you have planned. We advise you to adhere to your schedule and follow the time table that you have laid out. If you don’t follow it, all your effort will be in vain. Be sincere and honest. There is no shortcut to success. Manage time accordingly and make sure you follow your schedule.

8 Tips on how to study smart

0
 

An hour or two of daily studies is usually sufficient to make it through high school with decent marks. But this isn’t the case for college students. In college, students are at loss of time. They do not have enough time to juggle between academic studies and preparing for entrance exams. They do not get enough hours to study. It gets even worse for them if they do not know how to study in a smart way. In this blog, we will debunk the myth that you need to study hard to get ahead in life. We are of the opinion that you need not study hard, just study smart and you have done your part!

The importance of effective studying

Most of us have a tendency to confuse studying hard with studying effectively. Those who study hard are the ones who study everything blindly without a proper plan or strategy. They are the same people who dedicate many hours on a daily basis to studies.

But studying hard does not automatically mean that you are studying well. It does not automatically mean that you are studying effectively. There is no point in studying if you cannot recollect what you have studied. And if you can’t do that, you will probably not do a good job at cracking that entrance paper that you have set your heart on cracking.

The most effective students are not necessarily the brightest ones. They achieve success because they have picked up a few habits that make them far more efficient than other students. They are the ones who have decoded the mystery on how to study effectively. They are the ones who have realized early-on that the key to becoming an effective student is learning how to study smarter, not harder.

How to study effectively

Now that we have established the importance of effective studying, we have a few tricks up our sleeves and we want to share them with you. Work on the below mentioned tips and you will see yourself transform into an effective student:

Have regular, yet short study periods:

Effective students study smart, they do not attempt to cram their study into one session. It’s time for you to change too. To be a successful student, learn to be consistent in your studies. Have regular, yet shorter, study periods.

Set a study schedule and stick with  it:

For those of you who detest making time tables or following a schedule, it’s time to change that habit. To study effectively, set a study schedule and plan out a timing you can commit to. Create a weekly routine, set aside a certain number of hours in a day for your studies and review your progress on a weekly interval. This will enable you to succeed in your education in long term.

Study with a goal:

Studying without direction is preparing for failure. Effective students study smart. They have a goal they want to accomplish. This is what keeps them motivated each time they sit down for studies. Set a study session goal before you start studying to support your overall academic goal. You need to be clear about what you need to accomplish during each study session. For instance, memorize 50 vocabulary words daily in order to ace the vocabulary section of an upcoming Bank exam.

Procrastination kills effectiveness:

Students find it easy to put off their study sessions and procrastinate due to lack of interest or because the assignment is too hard. DO NOT DO THAT! Successful students never procrastinate their planned study session. Procrastination makes your study ineffective. It leads to hasty last minute studies which is the primary cause of errors.

 start your test prep early.

Start and complete the difficult subject first:

Difficult subjects and assignments consume maximum time and energy. To study effectively, begin by starting your daily study session with difficult subjects. Tackling the hard subjects first saves you a lot of time and effort. You have enough time to go back and revise these subjects while you study the easier subjects. It also frees you of unnecessary tension.

Make and review notes before each assignment:

Make it a point to review your notes before starting your daily study sessions. To review your notes, you must first make sure that you take good notes in class. Reviewing notes before each study session will help you remember the important points and it will help you cover the subject better.

Don’t let yourself get distracted:

Many distractions like TV, mobile phones, and noise may come between you and your studies. Once distracted, you lose your train of thoughts. You are unable to focus which leads to ineffective studying. Make sure that before you start studying, you find a place where you are absolutely sure you will not get distracted easily.

Join study groups:

‘Two heads are better than one’. This phrase stands true when it comes to studying. Group studies help you clear the concepts that you are struggling with. Study groups are healthy study circles where you can teach and learn from each other. Teaching others in the group will help you refine your knowledge. It will also help you evaluate how prepared you are.

Conclusion

We are confident that if you inculcate the above listed practices, you will see a major improvement in your academic success. Good luck!

What is a good GMAT score for students with international B-School ambitions?

0
 

Are you preparing for GMAT this year? If you are, you have already taken the first step towards attaining your goal i.e. putting in the hard work. However, hard work alone is not enough. You need to have a good strategy. You need to prepare better. And we are here to help you with this process. This blog revolves around the question: “What is a good GMAT score?” and we hope to answer this question in this blog.

Preparing for GMAT means competing internationally

Without a good GMAT score, you can’t so much as hope to get into top business schools in the world. And truth be told, the competition is tough. After all, students from around the world are competing to get into the coveted business schools in the world. This means that the pressure of getting a good GMAT score is high. And the competition is even higher.

Top International B-schools like Stanford and Harvard accept a GMAT score of 710

Top business schools in the world such as Stanford, Harvard, Wharton, INSEAD, ISB, and many others hover around 710 out of a total of 800. Clearly, GMAT is extremely competitive. In fact, the 710 GMAT score translates to a percentile figure of about 94 and above, which is quite respectable.

The average student scores about 540 marks out of a total of 800 in GMAT

Now here comes the game changer. An average student often scores around 540 marks in GMAT. This is not even close to the highly challenging 710 score that International B-schools look for in an applicant. So where does that leave our friends who score the real average GMAT score?

So, what would qualify as a good GMAT score?

There is no perfect answer to this question. It all depends on which business school you aspire to study in.  So, we advise you to find the average GMAT score of the B-school you aim to go to and base your plan around that figure.But, having said that, you should know that top B-Schools consider a score of at least 600 as competitive. More importantly, the higher your GMAT score, the better your percentile is as compared to your competition, and the thus, the higher are your chances of getting into top international B-schools! Our advise? Prepare well, and try to score as high as you possibly can.

Finally, what GMAT score should you aim for?

In our expert opinion, a good GMAT score would imply that you score somewhere above 700. A score of around 600 will earn you a percentile of around 70. But a score of above 700 will earn you a 90 percentile which is what most top international B-schools demand. So if you are serious about getting into colleges like Harvard and Stanford, shoot for the moon!
