Sir I have taken admission in btech biotech, so now for higher degree i have to appear in GATE exam so from which year would be the correct time to start my preparation, and what are the other entrance exam i can write to apply for my higher studies in biotech field.pls suggest

Ans: Start preparing slowly from 3rd year-end. Entrance Exams you can try: GATE, CUET-PG, BHU-PET, JIPMER M.Sc. Entrance Exam, TIFR GS (Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Graduate School Admissions), AIIMS M.Sc. Entrance Exam, IIT JAM (Joint Admission Test for M.Sc.), JNU CEEB (Jawaharlal Nehru University Combined Entrance Examination for Biotechnology) OR if your parents can afford, better to try for Masters ABROAD. However, it is advisable to conduct a thorough research for 3-6 months to shortlist the most suitable countries / colleges / courses for her Masters and then approach any Professional Abroad Education Consultants. Some of the factors which you should consider for her Masters abroad are (1) Cost of Living & Cost of Education (2) University QS Ranking (3) Course Curriculum (4) Research Opportunities (5) Climate (6) Safety (7) Immigration & Visa Policies (8) Job Opportunities (9) Campus Placement (10) Work Permit & Permanent Residency Option (11) Internship Availability (12) Application Process & Deadlines & (13) Return on Investment (which also depends upon your daughter's self-motivation & dedication in Academics & co/extra-curricular activities).

Hello , i am currently pursuing btech biotechnology and it is going to be completed in couple of months. I want to do masters in biotechnology from India only but the problem is currently i have only decided to go for masters meanwhile all the entrance exam related to it were over, now should i wait for next to give exam or take admission in this year only, and the irony is top colleges students are not being placed so this year and biotech field i think has less scope in India so now what should i do ?
Ans: Thank you for getting in touch with me on Rediff Gurus. This decision can indeed be challenging, especially considering the timing of entrance exams and the current state of job placements in the field.  You should start evaluating the available options for pursuing a master's degree in biotechnology in India and researching different universities, their admission processes, and the feasibility of securing admission this year versus waiting for the next cycle of entrance exams. You should also consider factors such as program reputation, faculty expertise, curriculum, and placement opportunities.

But if you decide to wait for the next cycle of entrance exams, consider utilizing the gap year productively by exploring opportunities for internships, research projects, skill development courses, or work experience in the biotechnology field. Building relevant experience and skills during this time can enhance your profile and increase your competitiveness for master's programs and future job opportunities. Ultimately, the decision to wait for the next cycle of entrance exams or pursue admission this year depends on your individual circumstances, preferences, and career objectives. Take the time to weigh your options carefully, gather relevant information, and make a decision that aligns with your long-term career goals and aspirations in the biotechnology field.

Hello, I am 3 yr neet dropper.in 2025 it will be my third attempt... I'm trying my best to crack neet ...i don't know what will happen will i score good marks or not ... please help me in suggesting good career options if not crack neet .....there are many options through neet marks also like bhms , veterinary...etc. i will also give entrance exam also like cuet ,gbpuat ,....but i want that what to choose which course will be best for me ...i want to make my life good and happy... having a good degree, good job ,...
Ans: Hello.
Have you analyzed your failure in 2 successive attempts in the NEET examination? If yes, then the question is what you have done for improvement and not then again the question arises why not? Here, I would like to suggest you focus now only on the NEET examination which is your 3rd attempt. Don't think about any other options right now till May 2025. After the NEET exam is over, you have ample time to explore the options available. Depending on your score in NEET 2025, we will guide you at that time. But yet, if you are confused, then looking towards your question and anxiety, you need personal counseling where you can express yourself face-to-face. Only after the NEET exam is over, you contact a counsellor for one-to-one counseling. Till then, keep mum and focus only on NEET. Take this exam as your mission and project. Work on this project, apply forces from all sides, success is there which is waiting for you eagerly.
Best of luck for your bright future.

Some tips: (1) Analyse separately Phy, Che, Bio (2) Prepare a list of hard topics (3) First focus more on the topics which are easy for you and then try to excel in hard topics (4) Appear more and more online/offline examinations (4) Prepare your short-cut file for all subjects (5) Prepare a file for each subject having only synopsis of all chapters (6) Try to solve the problems at the lightening speed and observe the period on regular basis (7) Create your time table to revise the topics on regular basis (8) Do not hesitate to ask your difficulties to your teachers, if you have joined to offline classes (9) Keep the habit of marking the answers which you know 100%. Don't guess the answers and mark them, as there is -ve marking scheme. (10) Be calm, quite, and smiling all the time to release the tension and always have a healthy chat with your friends.
