10 things you can do after B.Tech

If you ask a question on yourself that, after BTech what can I do? Here is the explanation about it. Once you have completed your B.Tech the world becomes your oyster and there are a variety of things that you can do. You have all most all avenues that are open to you after you have completed your graduation in engineering. Here are the 10 things that you can do after B.Tech.
1. Directly go in for an MBA
If you want to, you can go in for a MBA directly after the completion of the graduation. For this you will need to first appear for all the entrance exams such as CAT, XAT, SNAP etc so that you can get admission in a reputed college. It was one of the option if you have doubts related to question after BTech what can I do.
2. Specialize in your field of study  In case you are not interested in doing an MBA, you can go in for an M.Tech, and specialize in the field of study that you chose for your graduation. For this also, you will need to start preparing for the exams well in advance.
3. Get selected in the campus interviews  In case you do not want to pursue higher education then you have the option of getting into a company soon after your graduation and for this you need not go around looking for a job as there are many companies that will be coming for campus recruitment to your college.
4. Pick up a diploma course in an area of your interest
After you have done your B.Tech you can now go in for a diploma course in something that you like, it can be painting, music, writing or anything else that you want to pursue.
5. Appear for the Civil services exams
This is a great option for those who have thought like after BTech what can I do and want to be a part
of the administration and after the completion of your graduation you can give your complete attention to the preparation of the UPSC examinations that are very tough and need a lot of focus.
6. Try journalism
This is a great option after completing your graduation. There are many reputed colleges in the country for journalism and you can join any of them after clearing the entrance exam. Make sure that you have the language and other personal qualities before you go in for journalism.
7. Set up your own business
If you do not want to go in for further studies or for that matter work as an employee in anyone else’s
company you can set up a business of your own and work by yourself or in partnership.
8. Try to be an actor or go in for modelling
This may not sound like a practical idea but in case you do have the looks to be a model or the talent to become an actor then you can try for either of them and if your luck is good, you might be the next big star.
9. Go in for animation
There are many animation courses that are available and you just need to join them and as it is an interesting field of study. You are sure to enjoy the course and later you can take it up professionally.
10. Go to Abroad
It is also a good option and you will get global exposure in case you choose to study abroad. Also, you will be able to pick up a job while you are studying there and might also want to permanently settle there in the future.
These are the 10 things to do after BTech. Choose ant one of them or go on the road that is less traveled. Whatever it is, make sure that you indulge in something that you really want to do, if you want to stay happy. I think this article gave some idea who are having a question after BTech what can I do.

CGL, CHSL, Steno, JE, Police, Translator, etc Collect the syllabus of the ssc exam. You can download it from the official website of SSC. Get the ssc exam books of a better publication and also get the separate books for each of the section of ssc exam paper.
  • Make a time table of your study.
  • Study for at least 4 hrs a day for a year.
  • Study with full concentration and try to clear your basics of the topics.
  • Remember shortcuts of doing the questions and also create your own shortcuts to solve the problems faster.
  • You can also buy various books for learning shortcuts for solving problems for ssc exam.
  • Remember the shortcut techniques to solve the problem given the ssc exam paper faster. It will help solve the ssc exam paper quickly and you can solve more questions as it will improve your speed.
  • You need to work on your speed of solving problems. For that practice one previous year question paper daily to improve your speed putting yourself in the time limit.
  • Work more on your weaker sections and make them stronger with practice. Practice more and more because practice make a men perfect.
  • In the ssc paper, solve as many questions as you can but only do those which you know well.
  • Don’t do those question which you are not sure about. Remember there is negative marking in the ssc exams.
  • If you got stuck on a particular question then move on to next one but don’t waste your precious time on particular question.
  • Always wear a watch while giving any type of paper as it will keep you updated with time.  Work on your quickness to solve problems and build speed of solving problem.
  • Most of the aspirants fails in these tests because of the time limit.
  • Work harder with consistency will lead you to qualify this exam.

Important Tips for SSC JE

  • The difficulty level of the exam is not very high. A diploma holder in engineering can easily attempt the paper. Thus, focus on the basics of engineering than solving tough problems. 
  • Take as many practice tests as possible before  the exam. Make sure you time your attempts. It is as much about speed as it is about accuracy in SSC Junior Engineer Exam 2014.
  • Make sure you reach the exam center well before time. This way, you won’t be stressed, which always helps you perform better in an exam.
  • Attempt those questions first that you are absolutely sure about. You don’t need to attempt different sections in a specific order. Thus, you can always go back and forth between sections.
  • Attempt the easy questions in all the sections first and then attempt the tough questions. As far as possible, do not play the guessing game. 
  • A thumb of rule you can follow is if you know  more than 50% of the paper, you must not take undue risks and guess answers. 
  • There is negative marking involved. However, if you know less than 50% of the paper, it could be worthwhile to take calculate risks.
  • Paper-II is a subjective paper. Make sure you practice the subjective method of answering questions too. You must know the correct method of solving numerical problems of engineering.

If you clear the cutoff marks for paper-I and paper-II, you will have to go through an interview round. It is important that you start preparing for the interview as well from the time of the written test. Practice answering common interview questions such as
“Why do you want to join SSC?”;
“Tell us about yourself”; some common engineering theoretical concepts etc.

Tips and tricks for solving the papers

Tips and tricks for solving the papers

• The first motto while solving the question papers is to utilize your time optimally.

• The Objective Paper-I consists of 120 questions which are evenly based on English and General Studies. The questions on the topics of rearrangement of sentences and Comprehension are tedious and time consuming so it is suggested to solve those questions after completion of rest of the paper.

• While solving the comprehension part first read the passage then read the questions asked and then mark the lines which are related to the questions.

• If you are not able to solve a particular question then don’t waste your time on it and don’t get disheartened. Move to other questions and solve tough question at the end.

• While solving technical objective papers, try to solve the questions on theory first and then work on numerical questions as there is Negative Marking for each wrong answer and cut off is to be cleared in these papers hence never try to mark those answers on which you are not confident.

• On third day of examination there are two conventional papers. Before solving the paper, first of all read the question paper thoroughly and mark those questions in which you can perform your best.

• Write the answers, step by step in tidy manner to give an impressive presentation and by doing this the candidate will not miss the essential points and formulae. If some diagram is required try to make well labeled and neat diagram with freehand sketch. You will get the credit for orderly, effective, and exact expression combined with due economy of words in the conventional papers of the examination.
• Write formulae in the numerical, S.I units of concerned quantities and answers as well.

Steps to enhance your performance

1. The examination requires consistency, never say die spirit and most important is self motivation. Healthy ideas grow in healthy mind so alongwith studies do devote some time for recreation this will make enhance the memorizing power and efficiency.

2. Keep safely documents related to examination such as acknowledgment of application, hall ticket, application number and other details. This is to avoid last minute tension for obvious things.

3. One day before the examination don’t study much, just revise the important notes which you have made. Relax and sleep for atleast 6 hours so that you write exam with fresh mind.

4. Keep atleast 2 sharpened pencils, eraser, sharpener, 2 pens, calculator, hall ticket, etc. in your examination kit. Leave for your exam timely and don’t study much on the same day during travelling.

8 things i wish someone told me when i waspreparing for IES..

By an Anonymous IES aspirant
I was not perfect. No one in my whole family or friends never actually thought about IES leave alone clearing it. Even when my college friend talked about it in 4 year it was something unachievable at least for (non studious) me.
Now when i look back there is definitely a experience advantage. That's why if one in family become an IAS, his brother,sister,cousins etc have a huge chance of making it into services. Furthermore, 8 things i wish someone told me when i was preparing for IES.. Please don't mock me if you already know!!
1. IES is a damn easy exam of course you need to work your butts off. What i mean to say that in class all the examples we do are the toughest one's. IES is a mix bag of easy, damn easy and little difficult one's.Most questions are repetitive.Once you have understood the concepts,they all seem the
same.
2. Objective exam is much easier to score but you need to do the subjective question's practise to get hold of concepts.Yes, solving only objective one's will give you half knowledge.It's solved questions
in book will give you complete picture and prepare you for new questions just in case.

3. Revise revise revise Your ability to forget is monumentary.I read p k nag thermo at least 10 times sincerely apart from class notes. But my mock interview i had forgotten 2nd law. Just like that.This is the golden rule for success.Don't trust your brain..

4. Comfort level for environment . As you know Delhi has harsh environment. So unlike me (kanjoos makhichoos) invest in a heater in winter and cooler in summers. I recall wasting entire afternoon in summers in my heated up room and morning and nights fighting cold in winters. It's a sheer waste of
time.Buy a comfortable chair and bed and gadda too.Don't think it's for few months, Think of it as an investment for concentration in studies.
5. Don't set a time table when not following it up to hilt gives you frustrations. Just get up and start reading until you feel hungry or tired. If you waste time in getting your body to follow your time table.It's useless.

6. Do not buy foreign author books No matter how much our teachers criticize Indian authors, they are value for money and time. Don't forget you are not here for research purposes, only competitive exam purposes.I bought kalpakjian, popov and tried to read them. You need extra dimag to actually understand them in first place and they were of no use at all.
7. Library Oh God!! how much i wish i had known these library hidden in Delhi when i was preparing. They are such a nice place to sit away from the familiarity and claustrophobic sleepy atmosphere of your room with no one disturbing you. Some even give tea and nice lunch. Most of them have air conditioning and subscription of newspapers and magazines.And they are located near the saket too. Look for them nearby your room and you will find them if your are lucky.
8. NPTEL Videos and others available on you tube.You will be surprised to find huge study material online, But please don't overdo it. Only in your spare time take a look to memorize the concept or understand it.
I've been meaning to tell 10 but i can't recall anymore. Please comment if anything in this post interests you..

Books on the subject of HeatTransfer

There are a lot of books on the subject of Heat Transfer by different authors with different approaches to the subject. Based on your need you can pick out one from them. I would categories them for you
If you are preparing for some examination like GATE/IES , the go for RC Sachdeva /PK Nag / DS Kumar/R.K. Rajput. All are likely same with little differences. Out of these RC Sachdeva & PK Nag have insisted somewhat less on problems & more on theory when compared to DS Kumar and R.K. rajput.
If you are there for developing a deep insight into the subject & explore it , I would suggest you to go for Incropera/ Younus A Cengel / JP Holman. Incropera is also considered as the bible of Heat Transfer! JP Holman is brief while Younus A Cengel will put forward the beauty of Heat Transfer with practical problems & elaborate the typical higher order differential equations in detail.
Except these books, I won't suggest you to try any other book as they will just waste your time & will mess up your concepts.

Gate 2016 Referenced Books

GATE 2016 ME Books

Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all India examination. Which is conducted every year by Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and seven Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs at Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee). This exam is conducted for undergraduate students of engineering and science of various fields.
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) examination is conducted every year. In 2014 there were nearly 10 lakhs candidates who fill the application form of GATE. This exam is mainly for getting admission into higher all India ranking colleges of engineering and technology like IISc, IITs, NITs.
So this exam is one of the most reputed and competitive examination. Every year lakhs of candidates write this exam but very few 1 out of 600 make it to get admission into IISc or any one of seven IITs. Books that candidates read at their undergraduate level are of the great importance for getting good rank in GATE exam because GATE syllabus is based on syllabus of B. E. or B. Tech. at their undergraduate level. Here we are providing the list of books which will help you in your preparation.

Top 10 Mistakes Done By GATE Aspirants

1. Studied wrong / wrongly. Always prefer standard books. A little mistake can lower your GATE rank.
2. Not properly revised after a certain period of time. “Practice makes man perfect.” Revise what you
have studied time to time.

3. Loosing confidence after seeing the questions paper. Don’t worry question paper is also hard for all
others.
4. Your time management in exam was not so good as you thought. Do solve practice papers time to time with time management same as GATE exam.

5. Never prepared Mathematics and General Aptitude upto that level that I prepared Technical. Don’t forget Mathematics and General Aptitude. These subjects have 30% ratio of total marks.
6. Only prepared previous years papers. Previous years papers will help you to analysis GATE exam but will not sure your golden success. You have to do more study other than previous years papers.
7. Didn’t prepared all subjects because there was no time for those. Always prepare a time table then prepare. Being good in all subjects is always better than being master in only one subject.
8. Don’t feel restless and anxious before examination. Before exam day, take proper rest and food.
9. Fear of examination. Fear is obvious, accept it but don’t focus on it much, don’t let it affect your performance in exam.

10. Forgot Admit card or forgot calculator. It is little but general mistake. It happens because of exam pressure. To avoid this, prepare yourself a day before your exam.
“You need not to be perfect in exam. You need to do well as compare to other in exam.”

Is it necessary to join coaching for GATE 2016 ?

How do I prepare for GATE 2016 without coaching? What should be my strategy to start preparing for GATE 2016 self ? You all must have this kind of questions in your mind. Below article will solve this puzzle of yours. Just take a look.”

First of all best wishes to whom who did very well in GATE 2015. Who will get good rank in GATE 2015 will surely get good college for higher education and those who want a job with PSU will surely get selected in PSUs but those who don’t get good rank in GATE 2015 don’t lose hope world hasn’t end here.
You have a great  opportunity again to make it possible this time with a very good GATE rank, it is GATE 2016. Start your preparation again this  time with Little more effort, little more concentrate, little more dedication, little more better analysis and little more hours with study. So, candidates who wish to prepare self make a proper plan for rest of the days and stick to that until GATE 2016 examination.
Those who are preparing self they need more  dedication and concentration because you are the mentor of yourself, you are the examiner of yourself. So beside an aspirant, beside a student you are  also playing a role of examiner of yourself.
Candidates who can not join any coaching or don’t want to join any coaching for GATE 2016 preparation must consider these points. If you can get guidance from any of your senior or any of your friend who have cleared GATE previously. If you can arrange some good coaching institute material.
Remember not a single institute is always good in all subjects but you can arrange a single good  study material as per your requirement by choosing from different-different coaching institutes. If you can manage someone who can guide you time to time then no need to join any coaching because coaching is for mainly save your time but many times it waste your time. If you are serious about GATE 2016 preparation and want to utilize your whole time and if you have studied well at your graduation level  then no need to join coaching just sit on chair and start preparation. You may join any or many test series for last time preparation. I have seen many GATE topper who just read standard book and make in GATE top 10 list.
Those who are preparing with any coaching institute they must Consider some points before joining  any online or off line coaching institute. Before choosing any online or offline coaching institute just look into few points as written below which will help you to select a correct institute for your preparation:

1- If we talk about any offline coaching institute then first thing is whether you want to join coaching
in your city or in other city. If you can join coaching out of your city if your family and all other conditions permits than consider all coaching institute which can help you to get good rank in GATE 2016. Living in your own city may help you in basic daily activities like food, cloths, travelling etc. So if you can prepare well at home then you must check any of good coaching institution available in
your city. If there is no any coaching as per your expectations then you can join coaching other than
your home city.

2- First of all get feedback from some students of a particular institute. You can choose as much as institute as much as you want for analyzing. Analyze experience of student about that particular institute, about their study techniques, study material, problem solving and explanation techniques and individually problem solving sessions like many students always can’t ask question is a full strength classes and they get no more benefits from joining any coaching institute it is like wasting your time while sitting in room like waiting room where you wait to end of the class time.

3- Select any coaching for your GATE 2016 preparation on the basis of your requirement and coaching institutes present performance. Do not choose any institute for study on the basis of how big  his coaching institute is famous. Many students go with big name and they got nothing much like
their name so before get admission in any institute for your GATE 2016 preparation choose any coaching institute wisely because after all it is about your career, your whole one year, your dedication and also about your family because many students are there whose family depend on  them or will be dependent very soon. So every decision of you depends upon many factors.

How to prepare for gate 2016 in 6 months ?

By Experts
“How to prepare for gate 2016 in 8/6/3 months ?? You all must have this kind of questions in your mind nowadays. Below article will solve this puzzle of yours. Just take a look.”
I am writing this post on July 2015 from here you have nearly 8 months for preparation of GATE 2016. Here I will tell you how to prepare for GATE in just 6 months or less. You must have heard that some candidate says that I studied for only 6 months or 3 months and get 3 digit rank in GATE. You must have thinking that, that  candidate is awesome. He is surely awesome but have you ever think what he/she did awesome with his/her study? Here I am going to throw light on such key points. I am writing these point keeping in mind that a candidate have just 6 months to prepare for GATE 2016.
Here, First I am writing some points which you must consider first. Don’t start study with reading standard books
You must have thinking that I always suggest you guys that always study using standard books. Here what I just wrote is different I said don’t start with standard books not don’t use standard books. Now I think you are understanding what I want to tell you.
If you start your study for GATE 2016 by reading standard books you would not go so far, just end up by completing a book of a single subject in this whole 6 month period because standard reference books contain 1000-2000 pages with lots of topics and information in it.
The syllabus of GATE is as large as your B E / B Tech complete course. So, Here you are going to complete that 4 year syllabus in just 6 months using lots of books, Guides and MCQ banks. Is it possible in just 6 months ? Think yourself.
You can’t even get all the information contain in a single standard book in these 6 months. So, Here
you have to change your approach.
Then what to do ?
Answer is right below.
First Complete GATE Syllabus Obviously if you are preparing for GATE 2016 you need to complete your whole GATE syllabus in just 6 months or earlier. So, If you start your preparation without any proper approach you will not be able to complete your whole GATE 2016 syllabus in just 6 months. There may be many reason for not being  complete your GATE 2016 syllabus in these 6months like you studied some topics in very deep while they were not much important from exam point of view, you spent lots of time on a single subject like your favorite one, din’t study regularly like study for 2 days all day and night and after that 10 days rest, studied topics which are less or not important from exam point of view.
So, Here your first preference must completing the whole GATE syllabus first. Obviously you have less time so you can’d go in depth of each topic and each subject. So study little bit of everything, little bit of each topic and each subject and finally little bit of the whole syllabus.
Does questions get repeated in GATE ?
This point is also worth considering while preparing for GATE 2016. Many would tell you no GATE
question doesn’t get repeated generally. Here I would like to tell you GATE question also get repeated but in different way. They will not ask the same question again but they will ask the question with same approach again. Like they asked a question, what is 1+1=?. Next time they will not ask the same question in the same way, they will ask like what is 2+3=?. Question may be different, values provided in the question may be different but approach of solving question will be almost same. GATE syllabus is huge to prepare in just 6 months but here is a secret, GATE paper mostly contain numerical problems and numericals are based on formulas and formulas are limited. So, this is a key point by using this you can even limit this GATE huge syllabus by using some techniques. How to prepare for GATE 2016 in 6 months ?
Again this post is specially designed for those candidates who want to prepare for GATE 2016 exam in just 6 months. Candidate preparing for GATE for 1/2/3/4 long years may follow this approach but will not be appropriate for those because they have huge time to prepare instead of just 6 months.

1. Start with previous years papers. Buy a book with previous 20-30 years solved papers. Solve each
and every question precisely. Not just solve but also understand and solve questions which are closely related to that particular question from standard books. Remember solving questions without understanding will not help you much.

2. After solving previous 20-30 years papers nicely you will have a good idea about what kind of questions they ask in exam and from which topic they ask the most or frequently. Now note down such all topics and do solve some more questions from standard books or you may refer some good MCQ books related to those topics. Remember don’t waste your time on hard topics because your every single minute count here. You have limited time just 6 months for GATE 2016 preparation.

3. Now its time to solve some mock tests. Arrange some previous mock tests from your friend or buy any mock test book from market and solve every question of the test precisely. Certainly you would not able to solve all the question of the test. This is not the point where you need to worry. Here you will get a good idea about in which area you are strong and in which area you are weak. Go through each question one by one, to which you were not able to solve. Solve them with the help of standard books, internet etc.. Study enough so that you can answer the similar kind of question next time easily, if it appears. Remember, Here again try to understand the basic of that particular topic not go in depth. We have limited time just 6 months to prepare. If you find a question hard to understand or
unlikely to be asked in exam, skip it. Mark it for later and move on. You can come back to these kind of questions later if time permits.

4. Repeat the same approach. keep solving as many paper as you can. It will increase your level of understand that what kind of question GATE office is going to ask in GATE 2016 exam and this  will also give you an idea that how you would handle such kind of questions in GATE 2016 exam. If   possible join some online test series of some reputed coaching institutes. It would be better to join multiple institutes test series if you can because you will face variety of question from different- different institutes. You will face different-different kind of questions for the same subject designed by different-different institutes master. It will also help you in you real time GATE 2016 exam because GATE exam is nowadays online computer based test(CBT).

5. Last but very important point besides understanding lots of things, reading lots of stuff, referring lots of books, joining lots of test series you need to remember these all things atleast till the GATE 2016 exam finish. So need to revise these all things time to time so always prepare a plan or time table which contain timely revision. Make a time table for a whole day, for a week, for a month and for next 6 months for GATE 2016. Stick to the time able. Must include time for revision in each time
table.
Summary
Do’s
1. Start preparation by solving previous 20-30 years papers. It will give you a good idea about what you have to prepare and what not to prepare. Because in this competitive world you need to be smart along with having knowledge.
2. First complete GATE whole syllabus as soon as possible. You are going to attend GATE 2016. So, You have to complete it completely before GATE 2016 examination. Examiner may ask question from any subject and also from any topic mentioned in GATE 2016 syllabus.
3. Solve previous 20-30 years papers precisely. Don’t just solve them, understand them. GATE question don’t get repeated but by solving previous years papers you are being familiarize with questions asked in GATE exam. So that you can prepare according to that now for GATE 2016.
4. Solve question which are closely related to previously asked questions. GATE question don’t get repeated but approach may get repeated. So solving related questions will surely increase your marks in GATE 2016 exam.
5. Join some good online mock tests and prepare for them nicely. As nowadays GATE exam is an online computer based test (CBT). So these online mock tests will prepare you to be familiarize with exam like environment and will also help you to improve your GATE 2016 preparation.
6. Make a proper time table as per your daily routine for a day, a week, a month and for 6 month period and stick to that. As you have less time to prepare, So you need a proper plan to complete your whole GATE 2016 syllabus within time limit of 6 months.
7. Always keep a place for revision in your time table. Revision is really-really important because you can’t remember all the things you have studied in last 6 months.
must check : PSUs through GATE 2016

Don’ts
1. Don’t start preparation by reading standard books. As you have less time to prepare, So you need be more focus on what you have to study first and what later. Its all about time management when
time is less.
2. Don’t just solve previous years papers. Just solving previous years papers will not help you much in GATE 2016 exam. It will even confuse you more in exam. So, solve previous years papers with understanding not just solving. 
3. Never go in depth of some topics or subjects. Obviously examiner is not going to ask all the question from the subjects which you have prepared well. They will ask question from almost all subjects. So prepare all subjects equally first.

“GATE examination is to check basic knowledge and understanding of a candidate at their graduate
level.”
