How to join any PSU after engineering?

Are you planning to join PSU?  Then You have come to right place.  I gonna explain the complete process of joining almost any PSU.  So before getting into detail,  Let me tell you that I have prepared a mind map which is self explanatory and will save your lot of time. Please go through it:

You have completed engineering or even pursuing engineering and decided to join PSU. It really great decision for you. This small decision gonna put in a list of serious student. I really appreciate it. This post objective is to explain the process of joining PSUs so Let’s start.

Almost every PSU accept GATE score for recruitment  and those who does not they ask the same question which is asked in GATE. So needless to say that GATE Registration and getting a good score is mandatory.
After you have got your GATE score, you need to apply job at every PSU individually. You can get this information either by checking their official websites or from employment news website. You need to apply for the job by filling personal, educational and GATE registration details. Once you have completed this steps, All you have to do is wait…
Once these PSUs completed the process for screening of all the application processes, They start sending interview call letter. Interview call letter has every information that you need to know. It tell you all the list of documents requires for the joining the interview, Venue and timing of the interview.
Please cross check your document multiple times. If you have applied in some category like EWS/OBC/SC/ST then make sure you are carrying them with you otherwise you will be treated as General Category.
Reach the venue of Interview 30 mins before the time given in the call letter. You never know, how big the venue will be? It may take more 30 min to reach the exact interview location from the GATE. 😅

So you must be knowing that all these Public Sector Enterprises follows almost same pattern for the interview process. We can categorise the whole process into three parts i.e. Personal Interview, Group Discussion and Group Task. GATE Score weightage is 85% and Other process like PI,GT,GD carries 15% but even if the interview process carries 15% weightage, Don’t take it lightly. I have seen top ranked not getting into final list.

Lets me share my view on Personal Interview,Group Task and Group Discussion:

  1. Personal Interview
    Most of the time these it gets finished with normal discussion about you, location ,education and hobbies. Your technical subjects are also asked but very few. Mostly it goes easy. Please be genuine and simple in your answer. Don’t try to outfox the interviewer or Panel. Remember! They are BOSS.
  2. Group Task
    GT is to test how good you are in solving problem as a Team? It is conducted to test your leadership skill, How innovative you are, how good you are in brainstorming?The observer will make a team of 6–10 candidates and the team will be given a problem statement and your team will have to find best solution for that particular problem. You need to co-operate with the team to find the best solution with your innovative ideas and supporting your team members idea only if that is good 🙂 You may encounter with someone’s idea but keep in mind that should be in very amicable and logical way.
  3. Group Discussion
    GD is conducted to evaluate you communication skill and convincing skills. These GDs are not like typical college time GDs. These are well managed and organised. You don’t need to worry, if you have not been in such situation before.The group will be given a topic and you will have to speak “for the motion” or “against the motion”. You will be given time to think about the topic and think about the points and you may take a note of it if you want to but only after asking it from observer.

    Initially every member of the group will be given their time to put your view about the topic. Then they will keep an interval for actual discussion time to counter and prove your point and finally, they will ask every one to conclude.

    So you should keep your opinion. Even if you find some difficulty in the language then speak in Hindi because your opinion matters the most.Most of the time, these GD topics are related to the company product, services only.

Along with revising your core subjects, You should also read about the products and services of the company. You can also watch news channels because it helps in making good opinion. I would recommend two show The Big Picture and Desh Deshantar by Rajya Sabha TV. It helps if any question comes from recent news.

Once you will perform these steps well along with your nice GATE score. You will clear the PSU interview for sure.

But it also depends on the number of vacancies as well. Let say a top PSU is going to recruit only 5 and there more interested candidates who got combined score (in GATE+PI+GT+GD) better than you.Then in such cases definitely you might be in trouble.

After everything is over you will be asked to leave and wait for the result. Once result is out and you are selected then that is your lucky day. Enjoy it with your friends and family. I really wish you join PSU of your choice. I wish you good luck and All the very best.

Always remember, No achievement is bigger than “YOU”.

 
 

When to invest in stock market for better profit?

You must have heard about market indexes like Nifty 50 or Sensex. These indicates the market movement and capital appreciation from a particular time.

Most of the time rising indexes creates FOMO* in the investors mindset and they start investing in a hurry and just with a small movement in market they get trap in situations neither they can exit from their positions nor they left with enough money for further investment.

Now the question is, What is the good time to invest?

You must have heard of famous quote from Warren Buffett for investment timing.

“Be fearful when others are greedy & greedy when others are fearful”

~ Warren Buffett

So how would an investor know, whether people are being fearful or greedy right now?

Solution to this complex question is very simple i.e. MMI i.e. Market Mood Indicator. MMI is a sentiment tool that describes the current mood in the market as emotions.

So whenever MMI is in Extreme Fear Zone, one can start fresh open positions.

My Experience with Jal Neti

Today I am going to share my experience with Jal Neti. I got to know about this from a Spiritual Teacher Shri Janardhanan Kuliyan. He imparted this knowledge to me as a part of his healings. You may read him on Kundalini Powers “My Experience with Mysterious Kundalini Powers: Spirtual Healing and Alternate Therapies Kindle Edition.

Jal Neti is an ancient yogic practice to keep nasal passes clean and strengthens respiratory system. It has lot of benefits as written in many books but I will be sharing what I have experience till now.

I always used to feel that one of my nasal pass is blocked and I am not breathing fully with that particular nasal pass. Breathing is equivalent to living. If you are not breathing well then You are not living well. It made my breathing better with time and I now feel like living more.

If you are not breathing well then You are not living well. 

Once I started feeling better with the breathing pattern. I also started feeling to have improved vision, calmness in mind and also reduction in my anger.

Tortoise – A Symbol of Success

You must have seen many shopkeepers, jewellers and even households have kept tortoise in a water filled plate of brass (or glass).

Photo (1) : Feng Sui Tortoise
I have asked many about “What is the significance of it?” Mostly They answered  that they keep it for better career or longevity of life or to fulfil their wish with best of it time.All they have to do is change the water and remind them of the wish every single day.
I found it very illogical. Whenever I see such tortoise idol and It reminds me of a story of “Tortoise and Hare race” so we all know tortoise is a symbol of success.

Photo(2) : Tortoise and Hare Race
So merely by keeping tortoise your wish will not be fulfilled instead you have to work slowly but steady fashion like tortoise does.

 

“Slow and Steady wins the race”
Tortoise is just a symbol to remind you that “Slow but steady wins the race”. You can even keep a photo of tortoise and which remind you that you don’t have to stop.

लहरों और किनारों का प्यार

उठा लहर समंदर में फिर से इक बार,
चाहता था किनारे से मिलने को इस बार।
पूरी कोशिश की फिर से इस बार ,
पर हुआ निराश इस बार जैसे हर बार।
सोचा हम आये लांघ कर मिलो ,
और वो ना बढ़े महज कदम दो-चार।
सोचा सायद उनको लगा होगा,
आया होगा ऐसे ही बेकार।
मन बनाया मिलने की जा कर उस पार,
लेकिन मिली निराशा जैसे हर एक बार।
हो कुछ भी पर ऐसा ही कुछ,
लहरों और किनारो का प्यार।।

Myths and Facts about Petrol Price in India

Coal, Diesel and Petrol are still the major source for energy in our country. That’s why rise in petrol price become a very big concern among the general public. That why I am going to share Myths and Facts about Petrol Price in India for bigger picture regarding petrol price in India.

Myth:

Petrol prices can be as low as Rs 35/Ltr or Rs 40/Ltr. Even some time people share some picture on social media explaining how the petrol price are very low in our neighbouring countries ? For example this
 
With such fake document, few people infer that Indian OMCs(Oil Marketing Companies) are doing nothing but a loot. Which is totally absurd and wrong interpretation.

Truth:

Whenever I see such kind of rumours I feel so bad  but now i am taking this as an opportunity to explain why we, the people of India, pay this much of price.
Firstly, You do google search and you will get to know what are the petrol prices in Pakistan, Myanmar, Nepal and Bangladesh? & you will find that these price figures are totally wrong.
To make your job easy, I have already taken petroleum product’s prices in our neighbouring countries from Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell for the shake fo authenticity.
You can clearly see that how the above spread data is wrong.
I think nobody points out “Why the Kerosene & LPG price in India are lowest among all the neighbouring countries which run every common individual’s kitchen?”
Secondly, It would be better to know the price build up to understand why petrol retail prices are this much. I am taking today’s(i.e. 27 Aug 2018) data for explaining the price buildup.
Price build up is self explanatory.
Please share this to everyone and relax.

What is criteria for “Creamy Layer” in OBC Reservation?

I have came across many a people from O.B.C.Community who makes mistake in deciding whether they fall under “Non Creamy Layer” or “Creamy Layer”.  Mandal Commission has clearly mentioned the “Indicators (Criteria)  for Social and Educationally Backward” classes in Page No 52 of Part-I.
However in the current time, its difficult to go by these definition and there have been filed many public litigations in Supreme Court. In one of those litigation, it was claimed that if the reservation would be given on such recommended criteria then there is possibility that “Reservation benefits would be snatched away by creamy layer of backward class or caste“. So The nine-judge bench established the concept of qualitative exclusion and it is known as “Creamy Layer“.
Criteria for Creamy Layer:
An exhaustive criteria for who will fall under creamy layer category has been given in an order issued by Nation Commission on Backward Classes on 2nd March 2015 via DO No. NCBC/MS/1/2015 Please see this link Criteria for Creamy Layer

I came to Mumbai in 2016 by the virtue of my job and got some time to focus on my body and mind. I again started looking for nearby yoga classes by The Art of Living.

I did a google search and came to know that “Happiness Program” is happening near to my office so I joined the program and It was really awesome and I still feel so good whenenver I remind myself about the teaching I have learned in the program.

I was introduced with an amazing Breathing and Meditation technique know as “Sudarshan Kriya”. I felt so good after trying it for first time.

I have enlited some of the Yoga Techniques By The Art of Living below. You can go through these techniques. You never know, you may need it and you are not even aware about these techniques.

Sudarshan Kriya

Sudarshan Kriya by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar incorporates specific natural rhythms of the breath which harmonize the body, mind and emotions.

Padma Sadhana, to rejuvenate your body and mind. These practices can make you more sensitive to subtle sensations in the body and is one of the surest way to steady the wandering mind. It helps in toning the leg and arm muscles and adds greater flexibility to the back.

I am  promotiing Yoga Techniques By The Art of Living but I am sharing it becase I have met many people who dont start yoga just because they want to do it in correct way. These videos could be very helpful in starting your yoga journey but these voideo can never replace the importance of having a yoga teacher and learning it directly from teacher itself.
