DTE Maharashtra will conduct MHT-CET 2018 for the UG engineering and architecture examination in the state. The exam will be held at state level and mostly all of the colleges and universities in Maharashtra will participate in it. The pharmacy admission in the state might also be done on the basis of MHT-CET.
Yes, students from other states can appear in the exam if they fulfil the eligibility condition of MHT-CET. The board candidates who have Indian nationality are eligible for the exam. For getting admission in the 1st year of B.Tech, the candidate has to score more than 45% marks in their qualifying exam then only he or she will be allowed to appear for the exam. The students from other states have to fulfil the eligibility type 1 to type 5 for form filling. Category or reservation policy is available only for Maharashtra state students and some relief is given to the Jammu and Kashmir migrants candidates, but a big part of the seat is reserved for the state students. Almost, 85% seats are reserved for the students which are not good. Maximum 60% seats may be reserved, so by taking the exam, they can't get admission as outside students get only 15% seats. So, it is quite tough to take admission.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is a US agency specializing in nation's aeronautics, aerospace, and the space program. Through ISRO, you can go to NASA. So, once you complete your engineering from IIST, you can be recruited by ISRO with 3 years of bond.
If you are not able to get admission to IIST after your class 12th then you can do engineering in Electronics, Mechanical or computer science field. After completing B.Tech, you can take the exam conducted by ISRO's Centralised Recruitment Board (ICRB). The eligibility for this exam is 65% in engineering in Electronics, Mechanical or computer science. They will say eligibility criteria is 65% for applying online but they shortlist candidates having 75% marks and above in engineering for the written test. So, you should score 75% marks to get shortlisted for the written test. After the written test, they conduct the interviews of shortlisted candidates. After clearing the interview, you will be selected for ISRO.
If you get selected in ISRO then work here and try to get the American citizenship and carry on your work in ISRO which will help you gain experience and try to develop something new then NASA invites you or you can get a chance to appear in the exam.

Haldia Institute of Technology started its journey in the year 1996 as the first self-financing and Govt. Aided Degree Engineering Institute in the state of West Bengal,
As compared to other colleges of West Bengal, the scenario is much better(except 1 or 2 other private colleges). You would get a chance to appear in mass IT recruiter companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro. Recently from last 2 years, Tech-Mahindra is also visiting.The average placement from all the branches combined is approximately 200-250. Apart from that, you would get opportunities for pool campusing. While most of them, like Cognizant Technology Solutions, Accentual and Wipro, are well-known multinationals with offices in various parts of the world, local offices of industrial giants like Haldia Petrochemicals Limited and Indian Oil Corporation also recruit HIT students into their ranks.
Overall you can say it's placement ratio is average.College administration has to work a lot to increase the placement so as to maintain the name of HIT. Freshers enrolling in this college have a lot of faith that they would be placed from here but the things are not like that. Really you have to work hard and have to be smart too to get campus placement because the opportunities are less.
The good part is you would get a good network of HIT alumni and friends who would be there to help you in shaping your future.

MUOET is the exam quite tough to score as they check the overall performance of the student.
Here few topics for preparation which helps to score more in the exam:-
1) In mathematics cover topics like Trigonometry, Complex number, Matrix and determinant, application of derivatives, straight line, 3D Geometry, Limits & Continuity, Conic section.
2) In chemistry cover State of matter, Chemical bonding, Thermodynamic, Equilibrium, hydrogen, General organic chemistry, Solution, Electrochemistry, Extraction of metals, P&S block elements, Aldehyde ketone & Ether, Biomolecules.
3) In physics cover Law of motion, Gravitation, Work power & energy, Rotation motion, Sound waves, Electricity, Magnetic effect of current, Wave Optics, Semiconductor devices, Dual nature of matter and Radiation.
4) English is mostly a cakewalk for ICSE/CBSE students.Brush up your tenses, active/passive voice. Lay emphasis on synonyms and antonyms which are pretty common. You will not come across out of the world questions.Class 10th knowledge of ICSE/CBSE is enough. No separate preparation required.

Below are some important points to focus on:
Study Plan
Before starting your exam preparation, create a study plan for your preparation. Divide your time equally for all the sections as per your course. Gather all the information about the official syllabus. Research about the study materials you are going to use for better exam preparations. Try to attempt Mathematics
questions using shortcut methods.
Time Management
For exam preparations, you need to focus on studies and manage your time. Make a proper time-table and prepare accordingly. Study for at least five to six hours a day. Add some time for breaks and other activities which can help you to refresh.
Study Materials & Previous Year Question Papers
Practice only from those books which almost cover the entire syllabus of the exam. Students can also prefer NCERT books for preparations. Also solve the previous year question papers and compare your answers with the given solved papers. It will help you to understand your mistakes and difficult areas and after that you can work on it.
Mock Tests
You should practice mock tests daily and while solving the questions always keep in mind that you have only some limited time to solve the mock test. This will help you to score good marks in the examination. By practicing the mock test, you can understand the exam pattern and accordingly manage your time to solve the question.
Follow the above strategy and I am sure you will crack IPUCET.

Anna University is one of the best or prestigious college of engineering in India. It has many college that are affiliated to it.
First of all I should let you know that it is totally unpredictable whether the foreign companies would like you to work abroad. It totally depends on the companies according to there needs in certain region,projects of companies going on in foreign countries,etc.
Anna University is believed to be bring many foreign IT companies for placement and some of them are Yahoo, Facebook, Microsoft, Capegemini, IBM,etc. Many times these companies comes for the placement and takes written test then group test and then interview.
Many students gets qualified to work abroad but sometimes no student is offered job abroad by any companies. Placements abroad depends on the capability of the students.
Hope it helps.
