Measures to Improve General Knowledge for Entrance Exam

General Knowledge is not only a vital component of management entrance exams but also for getting recruitment to different types of companies. Now, every student has to target his/her general knowledge skills to score better in their entrance exams. Here, i have discussed few measures that can be taken by the students to enhance their general knowledge capabilities.

1. You have to understand that your knowledge can not be built overnight. One has to devote daily one hour reading newspaper and makes important points from the articles according to your exam pattern. Generally, exam is based on latest happenings and news.

2. Apart from newspapers, refer to magazines for analysis and in-depth coverage of a news story.

3. Identify your area of interest, whether its sports or books or politics and start working on that field. You will require less efforts to upgrade your skills in that particular field and thus, can save time and efforts. However, don't ignore area which is generally asked in your appearing Entrance Exams.

4. Make extensive notes on the basis of information, you have gathered from various resources. You are more likely to remember what you have written down rather than something you just glanced over.

5. Start improving you GK from the first day of preparation Don't put it off for the last week or last month before the exam.

6. Whenever you read news, make note of these questions who, when, where, why, what and how. For example, if you are reading about Euro Crisis, find out answers to these questions : who are the personalities mentioned? When did crisis start? where it is happening? Why did the situation come out? How has the crisis unfolded? Answers to these questions will give clear knowledge about the topic you are reading.

7. Refer to the notes after definite time period say after 15 days as it will help you remember what you have learnt. A major reason why aspirants get bogged down by GK is its vastness but it can be overcome only by continuous reading.

8. Refer to the selective resources, online as well as offline for reading and references purposes Too many notes will make confusion and also duplication. So, avoid this, to learn better and score more in your entrance exams

Buzzer interface with 8051 microcontroller

Buzzer is a electronic device that converts the electronic signal into buzzing noise, that is applied to it. It can be used as electronic bell or as quiz buzzer in many applications around us. Here, i world like to discuss the interfacing of a small buzzer with 8051 microcontroller and how different projects can be constructed. Buzzer Interfacing: This project shows the interface with AT89S52 microcontroller to a buzzer. When a push button is pressed, the buzzer will get ON and OFF ( number of times set in the code ) and then stops. Circuit Diagram: - The port P1 of the microcontroller is connected to buzzer. This type of connection is possible, if the current requirements of the buzzer is not more than 20mA. The output is in current source mode so that buzzer will turn ON when the output of the port is logic LOW. Switch is connected to port P3 which remains at logic HIGH by pull up resistor. Code: #include "REG52.h" #define buz P1 sbit SW=P3^0; long i...

Comparison Chart Between 8051, 8052, 8031and 8751

8051 is a popular 8-bit microcontroller and has been used in many applications since Intel introduced it. Many 8051 architecture are produced by Triscend, Intel, Atmel, Philips, Infineon (Siemens), ISSI, and Max Corp. Today, 8051 microcontrollers may not be popular but, the 8051 architecture is still popular and employed in thousands of embedded applications. This 8-bit architecture has been different segments such as 8052, 8051, 8751 and 8031 . 8052 is the super-set of 8051 and 8031 is the memory-less microcontroller hence, it has interfaced with external ROM. Whereas, 8751 chip has only 4Kbytes of on chip UV-EPROM. Everyone knows about the general 40-pin microcontroller i.e. 8051 introduced by Intel in 1980s and consists of serial communication pins, Timer, Interrupts, RAM, ROM. It has 4 ports and each port has 8 pins, total 32 pins and other 8 pins for other purposes. 8052 is the super-set of 8051 that consists of 8K bytes of internal RAM (4K in 8051), 256 by...

Different ways to generate delays in 8051

The delay length in 8051 microcontroller depends on three factors: The crystal frequency the number of clock per machine the C compiler. The original 8051 used 1/12 of the crystal oscillator frequency as one machine cycle. In other words, each machine cycle is equal to 12 clocks period of the crystal frequency connected to X1-X2 pins of 8051. To speed up the 8051, many recent versions of the 8051 have reduced the number of clocks per machine cycle from 12 to four, or even one. The frequency for the timer is always 1/12th the frequency of the crystal attached to the 8051, regardless of the 8051 version. In other words, AT89C51, DS5000, and DS89C4x0 the duration of the time to execute an instruction varies, but they all use 1/12th of the crystal's oscillator frequency for the clock source. 8051 has two different ways to generate time delay using C programming, regardless of 8051 version. The first method is simply using Loop program function in which Delay() funct...
