NID-DAT Resources update 3


Hi,

I've been trying to gather as much NID-DAT and UCEED related resources as possible these days, but because of the cyclone that happened here in Chennai, which resulted in prolonged power cuts and interrupted signals and internet, I'm unable to cover up in estimated time. So, I'm sharing whatever I've collected till now. I will keep looking for topics as well as update something about NID and CEED design part very soon, whenever I get time apart from my works. Hope that's ok.

And if u complain that this is so much then u probably must look at those preparing for civils exam! u will understand what real memory study mean than. And I never suf=ggested reading news paper daily. apti n math are ontime if u learn the methods then u can solve similar kind n coming to sketching, who hates it ? everyones likes it doing, so i don't think there is any difficulty in dealing with that, nly prob with GA part which u know comes from unexpected syllabus n so to get more marks u need to be either extremely lucky or study all or at least important

    1. BCA comes under 10+2+3, according to CEED eligibility it should be (10+2+3+2), and so i doubt whether u can give or not, but for NID, they mentioned that 10+2+3 is also eligible, check the below two links
