One of the challenging periods in our academic life is after appearing for the Class XII board examinations as we need to write different entrances for admissions to different courses or institutes.
Most of the leading institutes select students on the basis of entrance conducted by one particular institute or jointly by different institutes. In today’s edition, we are publishing information related to few such entrance tests which are going to be held soon. Aspirants must fill in forms online for entrances and at the same time there are many websites which provide online mock test. We may pass or fail in entrances but most important is to appear to gain experiences as many do not appear in entrances due to fear of failing. Appearing is more important as we may not crack all entrances but with experience, practice and planning, we can make chalk out a winning strategy.
