General guidelines for preparing for MSW Entrance Exam

The aspirants primarily need to develop an understanding about the importance of the Entrance Exam. Studying each portion in time and following a study plan rigidly will aid the candidates in reaching their goals.

MSW Entrance Exam Pattern

The paper for the MSW exam will contain questions of the objective category. The paper will carry a minimum of 100 marks. The negative marking system will be followed by the majority of the institutions. The questions will be from topics like:

  • General Knowledge
  • Reasoning Ability
  • Social Work
  • Verbal Ability

Set up a full proof study Plan

A good study plan will help the students accomplish their goals.  The plan must be pragmatic and should be in accordance with the schedule and other daily requirements of the students. Students must plan their day and do it accordingly. By following this method, they will increase the effectiveness of their plan and lower the possibility of stress and even minor headaches.

Ladders in preparing for the Exam

Students must plan their time meticulously. They can first of all divide their study sessions so that they will be able to finish their portions within time. Apart from getting acquainted with the study material, it is also needed for them to understand the difficulty level they have in specific topics. One thing they must constantly keep in mind is to never over work them. Not only will this do them no good, they also won’t be able to concentrate on their portions for long.

They can refer guides as well as short notes. This can be purchased from all leading book stores. A few of the recommended books include:

  • Government of India: Encyclopedia of Social Work in India from Ministry of Welfare
  • India Social Problems by G.R. Madan
  • Principles of Population Studies by Asha A. Bhende and Tara Kanitkar
  • Sociology by C.N. Shankar Rao

The best place to study is somewhere very quiet. The library or any other place will suit for that. They can monitor their progress this way.
