Does FISD pg students have to write the same entramce exam that ug stdent would?? Like syllabus for both ug and pg FISD course is same or different??

Aditi amrendra Student Expert 28th Jul, 2020

Hello,

First, let me explain you the difference between UG and PG. So, UGstands forUndergraduate course which is generally three or four years programme that is done after completing class 12th. On the other hand,PGstands for Postgraduate which is generally for one or two years.
Now as far as FISD certificate course is considered then it is not a UG or PG course rather its a certificate course.FISD professional certification course is designed for candidates who seek to establish a robust and comprehensive foundation for their career in the financial services industry.
So, either you have done a PG course or UG course, the admission process and exam will be same.

I hope this helps.

from where to study for pearl academy entrance exam 2020 online mode

S. Saha Student Expert 31st May, 2020

You haven't mentioned the course which you are applying for. However, the admission test in based on General Proficiency Test, Design Aptitude Test and Media Aptitude Test. It depends on for which course you are giving the admission test and have to prepare accordingly. Here I'm giving a general idea on how one should prepare.

General Proficiency Test consists various parameters like Quantitative Ability, Data Interpretation, Basic Mathematics, Logical Reasoning, English language, etc. You can practice these aptitude online. There are various sites on internet, where you can get to practice these. Basic Mathematics like that you have studied in your class 9-10, that you have to practice. Arun Sharma's How to Prepare for Data Interpretation is also good.

Design Aptitude Test will evaluate the power of observation & imagination, communication skills, sensitivity to the environment, creativity, drawing and design ability, etc. Here you have to learn about different lifestyle trends of national and International level. In this section, R S Aggarwal's book for design aptitude is great.

Media Aptitude Test contains topics like creative thinking, visual expression, command over language and power of observation. Best book for preparation- Journalism and Mass Communication 2020. Read newspapers thoroughly.
