Create a timetable

One of the main reasons behind the success of the entrance exams is the timetable. Preparation for most of the Engineering entrance exams starts just after finishing class X and for IIT, sometimes it is even before class X. So, students need to make a timetable before beginning their preparation. This timetable will allocate time for mock tests, doubt clearing sessions and study time amidst the regular day. Once the timetable is made, the only challenge is to adhere to it.

Regular practice session

All the subjects involved in the exam are problem-oriented. Hence, the engineering entrance pursuer needs to practice solving the problems regularly. This will guide them to come up with shortcut methods, which in turn will benefit them during the actual exam.

Include breaks in the timetable

Amidst the intense preparation, it is extremely important to take breaks. So, while preparing the timetable, one must include the break time also and during that time he/she should try some constructive activity like playing chess, cricket, solving puzzles, etc. This will rejuvenate their mind and help them to boost concentration.

Working out on previous year papers

Solving previous year papers will help the student to gauge the difficulty level of the exam. Also, it will guide him/her to understand their level of preparation and the time involved to solve it. Through regular practices, the student will form an idea about the pattern of the papers and can prepare for the final exam.

Properly chose reference and study materials

While timetable and practice session are of immense importance, selecting the reference books and study materials are equally important. For instance, NCERT books are extremely helpful for understanding the basic ideas of the subjects. The student should select proper books to study particular topics. With the facts, the students can avoid confusion and focus on study.

5G

It’s time to say bid adieu to 4G! 5G is the quicker successor to 4G and it is arriving soon. At the end of 2019, AT&T will create its 5G Network for mobile devices, and in the near future, it will be in machines, IoT devices, cars, infrastructure equipment and drones. 5G will enable machines to make long-distance data calls to other electrical and mechanical devices at speeds quicker than today’s home Internet connections.

5G modems are already rolled out by Qualcomm, Intel, Mediatek, Huawei,and Sierra Wireless. While Ericsson talked about 5G technologies for machines and IoT devices, Ubimetro takes pride in introducing a 5G-connected street lamp. Whereas Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute exhibited a 5G security camera with jet speed connection to a computer and the result is that it could immediately identify a face.

Blockchain

Many have the perception of blockchain is quite similar to bitcoin. However, it is not correct and Blockchain is the essential technology that makes bitcoin possible, and it can be tailored to manufacturing supply chains. Companies like Nokia and Cisco are exploring ways to log timestamped data sent from sensors on a digital ledger that is at the center of blockchain – and immediately verifying it as being authentic. A deeper audit trail on a blockchain could help in the proper management of machines and sensors.

Augmented Reality

The concept of ‘augmented identity’ is vital to stopping future car theft. IDEMIA, a French company, is planning to bring facial identification for the authorized use of cars. Sign up your face with a system, and a car will unlock only if it identifies your face. The technology uses location tracking, sensors, and software. IDEMIA has a big goal of enabling a more protected shared driving culture.

5G Robot

NTT DoCoMo of Japan displayed a 5G humanoid robot “that uses 5G to reflect the operator’s movements in real-time and carry out tasks from a remote place’. The idea was to showcase the speed of 5G and how it can imitate human movement almost immediately. NTT plans to erect 5G IoT devices in 2020 Olympics to be staged in Tokyo.

Smart Cities

Nokia has a creative vision of how smart cities should appear with new blockchain, 5G, and IoT technologies. Nokia’s “sensing as a service” platform offers a way to timestamp sensor data, securely gather it, and monetize it via blockchain.

The data transmission occurs with 5G. A software layer does the sound work of evaluating data, identifying anomalies, and making guess. Overall, it’s a new way of gathering data and transacting, specifically in “video surveillance, parking, lighting, environmental sensing, and waste management”, the company declares.

Security

A number of IoT devices were impacted by the recent Meltdown Chip and Spectre vulnerabilities, which are perceived to be the mother of all hardware hacks. Chip makers and devices. In the backdrop of this, chip and device makers have apprehensions on the security of IoT devoices as no one likes to see hackers targeting traffic signals and smart medical devices.

Autonomous vehicles

Any show cannot be complete without jazzy cars parked on the floor. Autonomous cars on the MWC floor put up with 5G modems showcased the future of car communications. Emerging vehicle-to-vehicle communication protocols will enable cars to talk to each other, sharing traffic and weather information directly. It is already being done, but needs access to a cloud service. Companies such as Telenor exhibited autonomous cars using 5G, although more applications are being looked at.

SIM cards in machines

Every 5G comes with a new SIM card that will allow machine-to-machine communications between infrastructure equipment and devices. The eSIMs will be embedded on CPUs or PCBs or could slot in for modularity. Able devices exhibited a smart traffic system operating independently with an eSIM card and a chip, which has an additional security layer.

Smooth operator

An accurate diagnosis of a health condition may depend on readings from numerous medical devices. CISCO-built Crosswork software-and-hardware platform allows all devices to work efficiently and smartly through machine learning and other tools. An exciting side feature is Health Insights that can collect data from medical instruments in a systematic fashion. Add a software intelligence layer, and you receive a quick examination of a disease from the readings. It’s an awesome automation tool, although not as reliable as a doctor’s diagnosis.

Flexibility

In one of the interviews taken by the prominent newspaper ‘The Hindu’, B. Sadashive Gowda, principal, Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering, Mysuru was requested to elucidate the difference between autonomous and non-autonomous engineering institutions, to which he responded saying that autonomous colleges are granted the flexibility to design their own curriculum. That allows autonomous colleges to produce graduates to meet industry requirements.

In terms of flexibility, students of non-autonomous colleges are more relaxed, as the rules are set by the university and hence conducive.

Examination Pattern

The papers in an autonomous college are set by the faculty, and hence are quite predictable. Often this becomes the reason to study in the pattern or course elucidated in the classrooms.

However, such is not the case in non-autonomous colleges, as the question papers are set by the university committee. This is the reason why students are cautious and most of the times choose to study as per the syllabus provided at the beginning of the year, instead of only basing their studies on classroom teachings.

Admission Process

The other major difference between these two systems is their admission process. For an autonomous college, the decision of a student’s admission lies with the head of the college. Therefore, it is easy to get admission in an autonomous college.

The admissions of non-autonomous colleges are mostly based on entrance exams or on the merit system. Therefore, it is not that easy to get admission in these colleges.

Better Employability

The students will be trained on Mechatronics, Advanced Applied Robotic Control 1.0, Advanced Applied Robotic Control 2.0 and Advanced Applied Robotic Control 3.0. which are high on demand. Practical exposure to AI and these trending technologies will improve their technological skills and help them get employment in their dream companies.

High-end Courses at Nominal Cost

APSSDC and ECM will jointly sponsor 90% of the course fee and the colleges or the students will have to bear only 10%. After successful completion of the training the students will be certified by Aachen University, Germany.

Avenues to Study and Work in Abroad

This project gives students a great opportunity to study in German Universities with internship facilities in different companies. By proving their skills, meritorious students can later beengaged in those German companies.

Cloud computing a manifest requirement for future of students with involvement of educational institutes, the IT expenses reduced, systems efficiency and accuracy is increased helps in expansion of user base of virtualized resources via Internet disbursing benefits to student users and teachers.
