Frequently Asked Questions by an IES Aspirant

These questions were asked by me to a topper when I was preparing and he answered as under. Thought to share it with you all. Ways and means to fetch more marks in Conventionals ? -  You have to be specific in conventionals. I recall that I had written very to the point answers. There were some 2 markers too where I had written just couple of lines answers. In numericals, i used to write down given data, then assumptions (if any), then a figure and after that it was plain solving without much explanation. I am not sure if this is correct strategy, but I did that.    - How to deal with sticky theory questions, how much is sufficient ? -  As I said, give correct and to the point answers. Write pointwise if possible. Don't give unnecessary details.      - Any strategies for compulsory question for 20 small 2 mark questions in Paper -II !  -  I have answered that one above.      - Similar strategies for Paper-I ? As outlined above
