Play the chandrayaan game

During my spare time i have made this very simple game about chandrayaan. Play it and do send in your comments.

Basically the aim of the game is simple. ISRO is about to launch chandrayaan but they are worried about the space dust and debris out there. So you, the NASA astronaut, come to help. You have 10 seconds to clear those debris before chandrayaan is launched. So get cracking. Move your mouse to navigate the astronaut!!

Good luck and hope you like the small game.

Good resource for How to Prepare for DRDO SET and other exams

Two days back i posted about DRDO SET exams and just today someone mailed me this good resource "How to Prepare for UGC-CSIR NET for LS, JRF & DRDO SET" that will be helpful for anyone preparing for DRDO SET exams.

The SET has 150 questions out of which 50 will be GK + Math and 100 Physics. There will be separate sessions for both with a small interval in between during which the candidate is not allowed to go out. Questions are again framed in the CSIR mould if one goes through the syllabi. At the same time the SET syllabus is not as elaborative as the CSIR’s. This is mainly due to the fact that DRDO specializes in particular areas like Solid State, Electronics etc. The test is followed by an interview for those who qualify the test, usually held in December.

Here's the link to the PDF document.

AeSI exams of june 2008 begins on 16th of June 2008.

AeSI exams of june 2008 begins on 16th of June 2008. I got this info from a mail i saw in ouraesi group. Please can any body confirm the dates.

AeSI's official website (www.aesi.org) is a waste as there is no information regarding the AMAeSI examination dates. Why it is there? i don't know!

This are the small things that AeSI needs to do if it wants to be seen as a professional body. Just helding seminars and doing awareness programs will not do the trick. Maximum revenue of AeSI is through Student activities so its high time AeSI update its site with student related information.

what is DRDO Scientist Entry Test (SET)?

April/May is the time when the advertisement of DRDO SET generally appears on DRDO Website (www.drdo.org & rac.drdo.gov.in) & "The Employment News" (with curtain raiser) for Direct Recruitment of Scientists 'B'.

SO watch out for this ? But wait a minute what is DRDO SET? What are the essential qualification for it? When is it conducted? And is aeronautical included in the engineering subjects in which this exam is conducted.

Here is the answers to all this questions.



RAC advertises on DRDO Website (www.drdo.org & rac.drdo.gov.in) & "The Employment News" (with curtain raiser) for Direct Recruitment of Scientists 'B'.

The prescribed Essential Qualifications as mentioned in the advertisement are bare minimum and mere possession of same does not entitle candidates to be called for interview. Where number of applications received in response to an advertisement is large, it is not possible to interview all the candidates. RAC may, therefore, restrict the number of candidates for interview to a reasonable limit on the basis of qualifications/experience/ achievements higher than that of the minimum prescribed in the advertisement or by conducting a screening test named DRDO Scientists Entry Test (DRDO SET).

DRDO SET is conducted on all India basis on 1st Sunday of September every year in order to provide equal opportunity to all students from different educational institutions in view of the increasingly wide variation of marks due to increase in the number of educational institutions in the country.

DRDO SET exam is of three hours duration consisting of two sections viz. Section 'A' of 100 questions to test the candidate's knowledge in the subject of their BE/ BTech (for Engg discipline) or MSc ( for Science Discipline) and Section 'B' of 50 questions to test the candidate's ability in analytical and qualitative skills, current affairs and general awareness to test the aptitude and scientific knowledge required for Applied Research & Development.

Based upon the organisation's requirements, DRDO SET is conducted in Engineering Subjects such as Aero, Civil, Electrical, Chemical, Computer, Electronics/Electronics & Communication, Instrumentation, Mechanical, Metallurgy etc and Science subjects such as Chemistry, Physics and Maths/ Operations Research/ Statistics etc. These subjects are specified in the advertisement.

DRDO SET exam is conducted only for those subjects where vacancies are sizable in number. Details of eligible candidates, examination schedule, result of the exam, schedule of interviews and list of selected candidates are made available time to time on DRDO website http://www.drdo.com

In cases, where very few vacancies are available, NO SET exam is conducted and the individuals are directly called for the interview. The advertisement generally appears during the month of April / May every year so be on the look out.

Tips on avoiding stress in Exams - from the archives

As you might have already noticed, this month my main focus is on OURAeSI. It has completed 6th year and i know it has lot of great advice in the archives. So i am digging it up and posting the gems that i think that are relevant now and will help students and members of aeronautical society.

here one related to reducing exam stress that i wrote in ouraesi. I liked it very much and has lot of good tips that you can apply in the aesi exams.


Last semester's, as i come out of the maths exams, everyone was depressed. Question paper was good and easy. "Kaisa huya !" " Yaar question sahi that par......." Well almost everyone i met had this same answer. The questions were simple. But yet the students coming of the hall room had a different face, what was the reason i pondered. Even mine was the same case. Why, what went wrong? While coming back to our room, I discussed this with my roommate who also felt that way.

Well, the reason behind this took no more than the bus ride back to my room and i had zeroed anxiety as the main reason !

Ya in my case it was anxiety, it was same with kishore, hamza and many i met that day. It is normal to experience some level of anxiety or stress just before and during the examination. This is appropriate and helps spur us on. But when anxiety overrides efficiency, it must be controlled.

So this semester, before we go to exams i scoured the net and came up with this study and stress busting tips that will, i hope,allow us to give our best in the exams.

In my hurry, i forget to jot down the source of this info's.

It is normal to experience some level of anxiety or stress just before and during the examination. This is appropriate and helps spur us on.

However, occasionally our stress levels might surge unexpectedly and throw us off balance at just the wrong moment.

There are four likely times when this might happen
on the way to the exam
outside of the exam room
waiting for the paper
during the exam.


In most cases you will probably be too busy to worry about not passing.

Occasionally, however, you might find that you are running out of steam with a particular question. This can be a dangerous moment in an exam because it opens up the possibility for you to lose your focus and concentration.

There are several things that you can do if you find your thoughts drifting away from the task at hand.

Refocus.
Try to refocus your energy. Relax yourself by taking several deep breaths, hold them in and then count slowly as you let them out.


Reassess.
Decide whether to persevere with the question. Will your time be better spent on another question? You can always come back to this one when you have completed the other required questions. It is possible that you might remember things to use in this question while doing another.


Remember.
Keep reminding yourself that:


you do not have to give perfect answers
exams are designed to test what you know, they are not designed to fail you

you do not have to write down everything that has been written on the subject, just the main issues, ideas or points relevant for the question


Tips on avoiding stress in Exams:

Before the test - Begin studying early, review starting as soon as possible after the first lecture. Never cram the night before. Light review of already learned material. Lack of preparation is the cause of most exam stress. Once you have done all you can to prepare and understand the material then the goal is to relax. Recall improves as stress decreases however some stress is good.

Arrive on time

During the Exam - Manage your time wisely, preview the test and plan your attack. Don't worry about what the other students are doing. This is not a race, you do not get extra points for turning your test in first. use the time allotted to be careful. I see so many careless mistakes that would have been avoided had the student took the time to carefully read the question. Quality is the goal. If you find your self losing concentration. Stop working take a deep breath use muscle relaxation stretch after a minute return to work.

People usually think of the answer to a question after they turn in the test. This is because as soon as they turn in the test the stress level drops and the recall ability increases. The best way to get better at taking exams is to take them often and take lots of them.
