Direct MBA admission without entrance exam in 2025 refers to securing admission in an MBA program through an alternative admission option other than the traditional method, that is, without appearing for national-level entrance exams like CAT, XAT, CMAT, MAT, or ATMA. Direct admission to MBA will be based on academic performance, work experience, or management quota seats. Your graduation marks play a pivotal role in this case. Direct MBA admission is a feasible option if you don’t want to appear for entrance exams like CAT/XAT/MAT or have obtained low scores in the entrance exams, but still want to pursue an MBA. If you possess a bachelor's degree in any stream with a minimum of 50% marks (5% relaxation for reserved categories), you are eligible for direct admission. Some of the top MBA colleges without entrance exam are Amity University, Lovely Professional University, Asian Business School, R V Institute of Management, and Christ Deemed University.

Preparing for GATE 2026 Mechanical Engineering is more important now than ever because the exam is just around the corner, and the competition keeps rising. GATE 2026 for ME is scheduled to be conducted on February 14, 2026, across the country, giving students only a few months left for their preparation.

The expected number of questions in the GATE 2026 Civil Engineering usually varies from one topic to another. Topics with high weightage usually have a higher number of questions as compared to those with a lower weightage. For example, topics like Geotechnical Engineering, General Aptitude, and Engineering Mathematics usually have a higher number of questions as compared to chapters like Irrigation, Design of Steel Structure, and Structural Analysis. There is no doubt that the competition level in GATE 2026 is likely to be very high. Therefore, understanding the topic-wise weightage in GATE 2-26 Civil Engineering will allow students to mould their preparation strategy accordingly. 

JEE Main 2026 will be conducted by the National Testing Agency in two sessions, tentatively scheduled from January 21 to 30, 2026 and April 1 to 10, 2026. The Physics section follows the NCERT Class 11 and 12 syllabus, and the questions include theory-based concepts, numerical-type problems, and mixed-concept applications. Each paper includes 25 Physics questions. Based on JEE Main papers from 2021 to 2025 across all shifts, certain chapters repeatedly carry higher weightage. These high-weightage chapters for JEE Mains 2026 collectively form approximately 60% of the paper, making them important for scoring well. Topics such as Ray Optics, Electrostatics, Modern Physics, Rotational Motion, Thermodynamics, and Kinetic Theory of Gases consistently appear with higher frequency and involve both formula-based and reasoning-based questions.

The JEE Main 2026 Mathematics High Priority and Low Priority Chapters are a combination of the Classes 11th and 12th Science curriculum. The Mathematics section of the entrance test is considered the most difficult, time-consuming, and tricky of all. It also holds a good weightage in the JEE Main exam, and therefore, students are always advised to target securing the maximum score from this section. The high-priority chapters like Vector Algebra, 3D Geometry, Binomial Theorem, etc., have high weightage. Students who can answer all the high-priority topics will have the best chance of yielding a good score in the JEE Main exam. Some of the low-priority topics include Probability, Parabola, Trigonometric Equations, etc. The nature of the questions is numerical-type problems and mixed-concept applications. The NTA will be conducting the JEE Main 2026 Session 1 from January 21 to 30, 2026.
