The Veterinary Council of India (VCI) has released official notification regarding AIPVT 2017. It has been mentioned that the All India Pre Veterinary Test AIPVT 2017 will not be conducted by VCI. The candidates who want to take admissions in BVSc (Bachelor of Veterinary Science) or AH (Animal Husbandry) courses under 15% seats on the all-India basis, they have to appear in NEET UG-2017 instead of AIPVT-2017. In the notice, it has been mentioned that the AIPVT 2017 will not be conducted by Veterinary Council of India VCI due to administrative reasons. According to the released notification, the VCI will probably use the merit list of NEET UG 2017 for the allocation of all 15% to all the recognised veterinary colleges in India (except Jammu & Kashmir).

MHCET Preparation Tips 2018:
MH-CET is one of the difficult examinations and preparation for this exam needs special tips and tricks which can help you to achieve good marks in the examination. These preparation tips will help you to prepare better for this exam. Some preparation tips are given below:
1) Plan Your Preparations: Plan your preparation so that you can finish the syllabus on time. Every single topic from the syllabus plays an important role in the preparation.
2) Time Management: You should make sure to divide your time equally for all the subjects.
3) Study Materials & Sample Papers: Preparing from the best books & study materials will help you achieve good rank in the examination.
4) Revision: Practice all the topics during the time of revision. Practice mock test to boost your preparations. By practicing mock test, analyze your performance, time management as well as weak points or subjects. Find out your weak points and work on them.
5) Take good Care of your Health and make sure you get enough sleep.

Right now, engineering Design packages ranges from INR 6 to INR 19.34 Lacs.
Details below:
1- This branch is inherently interdisciplinary. It combines both electrical and mechanical engineering. What this means is as of now in small firms most of the time mechanical or electrical engineers do our work. They don't specifically look or need design engineers. This is a disadvantage of choosing a non-core engineering branch. That being said this is in general true to all other inter-disciplinary niche branches like instrumentation and quality control, energy engineers, manufacturing engineers and so on.
2- Most large firms hire product development engineers, research and development engineers which this branch specializes in. Also all robotics companies require engineers with strong back-ground in electrical and mechanical engineering that is specifically provided by ED curriculum. This is why we see an increasing trend of robotics companies coming to IITM specifically looking for ED candidates. (Many of these are small new start-ups)
3- When applying for MS abroad, most universities require you to do a pre-requisite number of courses for the curriculum you are applying. They don't specifically see the branch you majored in as Bachelors. That's why we see a chemical engineer doing MS in machine learning, or a mechanical engineer exploring electrical engineering. Engineering Design gives you a unique position where you since you have core courses from both mechanical and electrical engineering, you can go into depth in either branch. This gives you an advantage. Basically for a mechanical pivoting to electrical vs an ED going to electrical as MS, the ED candidate has more likely done more courses which helps him in his application.
3- Since this is being offered by IITM the premier institute in the country, the opportunities provided regarding non-core jobs are immense. This is true to any branch in IITM. Everyone in IIT gets placed generally. ED as of now is also placed very well (Going by averages, better than mechanics) there is a trend towards interdisciplinary education in the world, so I think it has good scope. But remember always choose your interests, choose something you can give your all into. An amazing Naval Architecture engineer, one who designs state of the art ship's and takes pride in his work will always do better than an average computer Science engineer, who doesn't like his job and only puts as much effort as necessary.
