What matters most for cracking IES, GATE ?

-
For last few months, I am receiving spate of phone calls, emails from future aspirants of GATE & IES regarding what should be within us to crack it & even appear for such exams. Many aspirants are apprehensive whether they can clear these exams coz' they have less CGPA during graduation. 

I am writing this to clear such doubts for my friends who are preparing for these exams.

At this outset, I would like to give following advise to all who are preparing or planning to appear in these exams.

1. Do not think about past academic performance while preparing for these exams. What & how you will prepare will matter most. 

2. Going for coaching is a personal decision but in one of my blogs I have mentioned that, if you prepare well from the standard text books, there is no need for spending money on coaching, Save your money for party later on when you get selected. 

3. Forget about your 8 semesters of engineering studies, only 30% study with full sincerity rest we all know how Engineers pass their exams. Plan your studies with special reference to the syllabus & pattern of past year question papers.

4. Somebody emailed me to inform me that he was happy that he could solve one numerical asked in IES. What is so abnormal in it, if you have your basics right, you can solve it. Questions asked are not tough but they assume that you will apply your basics of engineering into it to solve them. 

5. Time management is very important, whether during preparations, or during solving questions during exam. 

6. Most importantly, do not forget to party in between your preparations for relaxing. I took 2 months break after getting through with my Paper-I syllabus. Attack again with rejuvenated spirit & zeal !

7. Remember GAT of IES as scoring paper & maximize your scores there.

8. Also, gain tremendous confidence to defend your stance, this will be helpful during interview when they will be assessing your personality to take very responsible Engineering Services job of Govt. of India. 

9. Believe me guys, there is nothing better than Class-I officer in India. 

So cheer up, forget past misdeeds, engage girl friends, party hard & prepare well. All the best who are reading this during their preparations !!

Beauty of Mechanical Engineering

-
Mechanical Engineering is a beautiful branch of engineering. It’s been here since ages. It includes study & application of principles of mechanics, energy & fluid mechanics to create mechanical systems aimed at doing innumerable tasks. As a course of study, it begins with learning fundamentals of statics & dynamics which forms the base. Along with it comes Thermodynamics which is again a fundamental subject which deals with study of heat, work and energy in the form of First, Second and Third laws. It also includes study of Availability & Irreversibility, Entropy, Real Gases, Thermodynamic cycles, Properties of Pure Substances like steam. All Thermal Power Plants work on principles of Rankine power cycle. This forms the basis of all Thermal Energy Systems. Fluid Mechanics is another subject which is taught with an objective to understand properties of various engineering fluids along with application of principles of statics & dynamics. In the first phase w

ICC Cricket World Cup 2023

 ICC CWC 2023 I was ardent fan of cricket 🏏 during my childhood days. I still remember watching India-England early morning matches at 4 AM. When it used to wake up for studies, we could hardly get up and keep our turns to hide under blankets in the guise of studying while brother kept watch on Dad's surprise inspection.  Surprisingly, enthusiasm was not limited to us (brothers) only rather we used to involve everyone in the event. Discuss each and every incident during the match as if this is going to be our Board exam question paper.  Post match analysis these days are result of that only. TV networks pick up few retired cricketers and let them discuss the full match again.  Hardly matches had total of 200+ in one day matches. T20 was yet to born....  Recently when news broke of nominating V V S Lakshman as Head Coach of ICT, I was pushed back in memory lane when he used to slog for full 50 overs and team used to post only 213 !! But I don't know want kept us glued to the TV

NanoComposites in Tennis Balls

-
Nano composites consists of nano sized particles embedded in some type of matrix -are group of promising new materials being infused in some of our modern technologies.  One type of nano composites is currently being used in high performance tennis balls. These balls retain their original pressure and bounce twice as long as conventional ones. Air permeation through walls is inhibited by a factor of two due to presence of a flexible and very thin (10 to 50 microns) nanocomposite barrier coating that covers the inner core. This nanocomposite coating consists of matrix of butyl rubber, within which is embedded thin platelets of vermiculite, a natural clay mineral. The vermiculite platelets exists as single molecule thin sheets- on the order of nano meter thick-that have a very high aspect ratio.  Furthermore vermiculite platelets are exfoliated that is they remain separated from each other. Also within the butyl rubber, the vermiculite platelets are aligned such that all th
