Word Power Made Easy for GRE Folks

2009-05-07T08:33:00.000-07:00

I still remember those hard days of studying the Vocabulary however I enjoyed the fun we had while learning and cracking the unknown words and also rejoiced the success when I scored good score in Verbal.

All it happened with some simple techniques and here today I want to share one of those.

Instead of remembering the words in Hard way we always should try to learn easily in the sense apply some where in our life. For example why cant we put the complex words in our daily life. Lets see one example.

Every day once you wake up we do catharsis activities (cleaning like brushing etc) and then we read tabloid( half size of news paper) and then we take breakfast( comestibles) and then dress up.

Then we get on to bus (Biped) and go to Alma meter (College) along with pals (friends).

I found this technique very useful to remember and also helps in many ways to improve our vocabulary.

Just wait friends I will come up with some exciting stuff!!! stick on....

Students who wish to pursue education in robotics in any of the listed universities, should prepare well. Generally a high GRE score (more than 1250, AWA 4.0+), very high acads and most important a research experience is required. International Conference and Journal papers count a lot in here. Since robotics is fully inclined towards research, the universities seek candidates with potential in research and better academic goals.

Visit here to know the value and impact of Publications.

Career Prospects: Here is something which you may not like about robotics. Robotics is something which is highly used in Defence and related projects. There are jobs available and most of them (I mean 90%) requires security clearance thus only US Citizens and PR are eligible for those kind of jobs. There are a few private limited companies working in robotics sector and they seek some professionals with PhDs in Robotics. A good career can be sought in academia itself, but that surely requires PhD. In most cases, you will be required to do PhD if you want to build a good career in robotics.

More information to come. Wait for some time. There may be little mistake with the home department information. Kindly verify when you visit the website.
