There are exams for the defence forces such as the Air Force Common Admission Test (AFCAT) for various branches like Flying, Ground Duty (Technical and Non-Technical).

I'm in the first year of a UG course in economics. In Class 11 and 12, I had taken Science. What are my career options? Airin Dear Airin, Traditional career paths include banking, insurance, market research analysis, business journalism and international trade. You could also explore Data Science and Analytics or Quantitative Finance. Actuary Sciences is another good option. You can also explore research and academia or public policy and roles in the government. I am in the fourth semester of B.A. Hons. I wanted to do a B.A. LL.B. but didn't get admission into the university I wanted. I am also preparing for the UPSC CSE. I am wondering if I should do a B.A. LL.B. after graduating or attempt the UPSC. Kangna Dear Kangna, Are you confident about attempting the UPSC exam based on your preparation? How strong is your desire to study law? What are your immediate career goals? Based on your answers, make an informed decision about whether to pursue B.A. LL.B. after attempting the UPSC (regardless of the outcome) or to focus solely on career paths related to your B.A. Hons. and/or the UPSC. My recommendation would be to complete your B.A. Hons. and attempt the UPSC CSE without the added burden of a law degree. Completing your current degree will likely be faster than starting a new five-year law programme. A Bachelor's in any discipline makes you eligible for the UPSC CSE. There will be an added advantage of some overlap of the UPSC syllabus with your B.A. Hons. programme. However, if you pursue a B.A. LL.B., it will open up various career options in the legal field (litigation, corporate law, legal advising). This may cause a delay in your attempts at the UPSC CSE and will require a significant investment of time. Switching to B.A. LL.B. now means loss of the time and effort already invested in the B.A. Hons. degree. The admission process for law programmes is also highly competitive. Switching mid-way could disrupt any momentum that you have built in your UPSC preparation. I have completed a PG in Sociology and am preparing for the UPSC. In UG, my subjects were History, Sociology and Political Science. I can't do a Ph.D. because of the time commitment. What else can I do? I don't want to be idle while preparing for the UPSC. Harsh Dear Harsh, Consider working on developing and enhancing specific skills like Communication, Digital Literacy and Technology, Web Development, Digital Marketing, Data Analysis, Writing and Content Creation, Public Speaking or Presentation Skills. Gain practical experience and explore working part-time as a research assistant, content developer, teaching assistant or tutor in History, Sociology, or Political Science. Explore short-term internships with NGOs, think tanks, policy research organisations, or even government departments if feasible. Working with NGOs will expose you to the real-world understanding and challenges. Explore platforms like Coursera, edX, and NPTEL for courses related to public administration, economics, international relations, current affairs, or any other area relevant to the UPSC syllabus or your interests. Short-term certifications can add value to your profile. Read widely on diverse topics to broaden your understanding of the world. Participate in online or offline events related to current affairs, policy debates, and academic discussions. Use your academic background and create your notes, mind maps, and study materials in a structured and effective way. This process itself reinforces your learning.

Daily mock tests to prepare Class X, XII GCC students
Chennai: To increase the pass percentage of Class X and XII students in govt schools across the city, officials have decided to offer them one-mark and two-mark questions for practice every day. "An executive meeting, involving top authorities will prepare questions and circulate it to schools. Headmasters and assistant headmasters have been tasked with ensuring students go through these questions on a daily basis. The move is intended to get students accustomed to the syllabus and learning on a daily basis," chief education officer A Pugalendhi told TOI. Assessment exams will be conducted monthly for students to identify "slow learners," who will then be offered special training. Steps have also been taken to focus on schools that recorded a lower pass percentage in this year Class X and XII results. "A block-level analysis will be done, and schools will be identified. Headmasters and assistant headmasters of such schools will be provided counselling and tips on dealing with students, ensuring that they pass," Pugalendhi said, adding that these steps would be vigorously pursued in the next two to four months to ensure strict adherence. State Platform for Common School System general secretary and educationist Prince Gajendra Babu, however, contends that a mark-based approach towards education will set a bad precedent. "This approach is akin to the one followed by private schools. The right approach will be to make students realize the importance of education. That, in turn, will automatically reflect in the pass percentage. Besides, govt schools must first offer facilities to students on a par with private schools. That must be the primary focus, instead of striving for a 100% pass rate," he said. In this year's SSLC (Class X) and Higher Secondary (Class XII) results, in terms of district-wise performance of govt schools, Chennai ranked 37 with a pass percentage of 82.84 and 35 with a pass percentage of 87.86, respectively.
