You can now know your TIFR marks by submitting your response URL in Pragy’s App.

My personal guess is ~70 marks should get an Interview call but might be wrong. 

Please note that the exam application form for UGC NET Dec 2018 is available from 1st Sept,2018- 1st Oct,2018. The following changes are to be noted as regards the exam pattern is concerned. 

1)Earlier, the said examination was conducted by CBSE but NTA(National Testing Agency) will conduct it. 

2)For the first time the mode of the exam will be online though the pattern remains the same which was followed for UGC NET July Exam.

Since a lot of aspirants were looking for schedule and materials for GATE 2019, we are adding all the stuffs to GO Classroom (All GO users get GO classroom access once they confirm their email and verify their identity, if you don't have GO account you can create here) 

Update: Completed Discrete Mathematics (excluding Graph Theory) and Digital Logic schedules and materials are now on GO classroom. 

More subjectwise tests and full length tests will be added on GO for Classroom users.

http://classroom.gateoverflow.in/

Some points:

• Schedule is given on front page and we have started with Discrete Mathematics but you may join later and keep up
• Assignments will include programming ones, and at many places you can do an assignment only if you have completed previous ones
• We will be following only a single schedule (one given might be adjusted as per need)
• About 10 aspirants are with me in Thiruvananthapuram and we discuss GATE topics almost daily. The main contents of that will be uploaded as slides like this on the respective topic page in GO Classroom
• Since, the contents are being made for offline purpose we will be covering all topics, mostly as per the given schedule. 
• Any doubts in topics or assignments, you can ask in GO - since a schedule is followed in group it will be easy to get answers
• Assignments wont be graded but you can do self evaluation with the given solution
• In GO Classroom you have to go to each course page (from Site Home) and click "Enroll Me". Then you can see the materials, assignments and also receive notifications. 
• GO Classroom login details are automatically sent to anyone in GO when they confirm their email. There is no manual control over this. And you have to wait an hour after email confirmation for the account details. GO password and GO classroom password are DIFFERENT - if you forget your password on GO Classroom you have to reset it there and not on GO.
• For practice tests for GATE 2019
  • These are some subject wise tests added by me and Bikram Ballav
  • These subjectwise tests (2 sets of 30 questions for each subject) were added by Bikram Ballav
  • 4 full length mock tests were also added by Bikram Ballav
  • This time we will be adding some more full length tests. 1 is already given by Ruturaj Mohanty and probably 2 more will be active by December. 

Who all can join?

1. Any self preparing aspirant can join this for free and get everything available including tests
2. Those who are having coaching, 
   1. If you are taking offline coaching, you can join here for free as they are providing you physical environment for study and none of them have objected to their questions being shared on GO.
   2. If you are taking online coaching of GATE Book or UGC NET lectures, you can join for free.
   3. If you are taking any other online coaching especially those who are acting against GO, please do not join here.

#Donation

Update

Sukanya Das and Subarna Das visited Bikram Ballav and handed over the Donation check of 100,000. We have also transferred the remaining amount of 18,000 to his bank account. Adding the pics and videos of him below:

List of donations

A good news. Bikram Ballav is now in a better state though a long way from complete recovery. I guess most of you might be knowing the tragic happening to him (stroke at a young age). He has contributed immensely for GATECSE by making tests in GO almost entirely by himself, making what to read series for standard books, promoting good NPTEL lectures and guiding numerous GATE toppers personally. Our member Sukanya Das has volunteered to visit him this weekend. It would be good if members of GO can give him a small donation as this would be a nice gesture from our part. Also his family is currently struggling as only he was the earning member.

We have collected and donated Rs. 118,000 to him. But this is a small amount considering his treatment expense. Those willing to give donation now can do (Please mention "TO Bikram") to

Account No. : 11216928295 (State Bank of India)
Customer Name: DIPTI BALLAV & BARUN KR BALLAV
IFSC: SBIN0000024
MICR: 700002184

Bikram's treatment expense is over 10 lakhs and every donation will be of help for him and family.

If anyone wants hardcopy of new GO PDFs, please fill out this form. Ebooks are expected by May end and if sufficient people want, hardcopy will be made available by June mid. When book is available those who filled this form will be notified first. 

Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), a Statutory body of the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India has launched SERB Overseas Visiting Doctoral Fellowship (SERB-OVDF) Scheme for creating a talented pool of internationally active and trained manpower.

The Scheme offers opportunities for PhD students admitted in the Indian institutions for gaining exposure and training in overseas universities / institutions of repute and areas of importance to country for period up to 12 months (extendable up-to a maximum of six months on case-to-case basis, based on performance evaluation) during their doctoral research.

The selected fellows will be paid a monthly fellowship amount equivalent to US $ 2000, one-time Contingency / Preparatory allowances of Rs. 60,000/- to cover visa fee, airport transfer charges, medical insurance etc. The selected fellows will also be provided shortest route economy class air fare from their place of work in India to the place of the host institute and back. One additional to and fro travel cost would also be provided to the fellow, if the period of stay is one year or more. Students should make their own arrangement for accommodation etc. One visit, each by the Indian supervisor to the Overseas Institution where the student is working and overseas faculty to the host Indian Institution of the student during the tenure of the fellowship is also admissible under the Scheme.

Call for proposals under this scheme will be open from 1st May to 30th June, 2018. Eligible researchers are encouraged to submit their proposals through online system (www.serbonline.in).

Important to note that the application is considered only if the student/supervisor engages in collaborative research with the foreign host.
