How to prepare for the TISSNET and TISSMAT?

What's up, guys? I hope all is well. My name is MaheYsh, and I have attended interviews (read GD-PI-WAT process) of IIMs and other top B-Schools in the country. I also managed to clear the TISSNET exam and surpass the cut-off for the HRM & LR program. Therefore I would like to share my two cents with all the bewildered aspirants, which will surely help them decide a fixed direction for their preparation voyage. So, let's get started and make sure to read the entire post :D


If you are preparing for non-CAT exams like SNAP, NMAT, or CET, then you get prepared for TISSNET as well, but the only exception is the GK part. While I was preparing for the CAT and other management entrances, I had a habit of reading GK every day. I used to take out some time and dedicate 1-2 hours daily for the same. After the SNAP exam, I started reading GK rigorously, and also revised everything I had read earlier. You can follow the same strategy. When it comes to the study material for GK, there are some paid sources like GKmojo, Career Anna, etc. that send you plenty of exam-specific material which includes static GK, current affairs, and other exam specific notes. You can choose to buy them in groups and share different materials with each other. But remember, no person or institute can prognosticate the future. Hence, you should not solely depend upon their material.



Below is the list of some other resources:


Study IQ Education YouTube channel

Magazine analysis on Study IQ channel (Yojana Magazine analysis)

GKToday App/Knappily App

Bankers Adda capsules

IAS current affairs websites/Affairscloud website

The Hindu/Economic Times/Editorial Magazines

Chronicle and Pratiyogita Darpan Magazine

Manorama Yearbook and India Yearbook for static GK (Try to get the free ebook available on the internet)




I don't want you all to be overloaded with a plethora of materials or notes. I'm just giving you options. You should have that ability to pick up the best based on your own analysis of the previous papers and chose what you are comfortable with. 


Remember, TISSNET does not penalize you for an incorrect answer, therefore leaving a question unattempted does not make sense. It's a game of speed and accuracy. In those 100 precious minutes of your test, allocate 15-20 mins to the GK section, and the remaining 80 mins for the Maths and English section. With this strategy and approach, you will surely ace the exam. 


Tip 1: Don't spend too much of money on buying materials. Purchase in groups and share it.


Tip 2: Try to get free material as much as possible, and also share it with others.


Tip 3: 5-10 mocks are enough; given that you are also preparing for other MBA entrances. If not, then go for 15-20 mocks. 


When it comes to the TISSMAT exam, which is for those opting for the HR and ODCL program, you don’t have to prepare anything extra. If you are preparing for the TISSNET, you get prepared for the TISSMAT as well. It’s just an additional test after the TISSNET but has negative marking.


Note: For exam pattern, duration, and marking scheme, please visit the college's website, because these things are subject to change. (It's highly likely it won't.)

How to prepare for the Maths and English section of TISSNET?

Hey all! What's up? In this post, I'm gonna write about the preparation tips and strategies to score magnificent marks in the  English and Maths section  of the TISSNET paper. First of all, lemme slack off some pressure by affirming that the TISSNET's Maths and English section is the easiest when we juxtapose it with other MBA entrances. The level of difficulty of these two sections can range from easy to moderate. You can refer NCERT books for English and Maths from class 6th to class 10th. Start your preparation as early as possible, 2-3 hours each day, and you will sail through. Let's continue with dissecting these two sections, and make sure to read the entire article out-and-out. For the English section, I swear, My right hand to the GOD, the best way to prepare is to read. Read a lot, and read regularly and religiously. Focus on reading novels and editorials of your choice, and it's alright even if you read without the intention of preparing for any exam.

Interview FAQs: What are your strengths and weaknesses?

Image
Hey guys! What’s up? In this post, I'll explain why interviewees get this question thrown at them frequently, and how to answer it in an accurate and impeccable manner. Why do interviewers ask this question? Why do they want YOU to know your strengths and weaknesses? Interviewers want to know how well you know yourself, how well you understand yourself, and your level of cognizance regarding your own self. They want to check whether or not you are the kind of person who is self-aware. Look! If a person is oblivious, how can one expect them to be cognizant about their environment at college or work. Lack of self-awareness might indicate both; personal negligence and a degree of recklessness in your decision-making process. Recruiters do not normally accept such people. Hence, the applicants who give this question some prior thought would usually have a better chance with the recruiter. How to find a perfect answer to this question? First things first!
