4. CAT- Common Admission Test :
This is a computer based test that is written in India for doing higher studies like MBA. The universities that students can opt are IIM's, IIT's, IISC and many more. These are the main top universities that every student dream to get into. Students are selected based on their performances in Quantitative ability, Verbal ability, Logical reasoning and Data interpretation.CAT is normally conducted every year during a 21 day testing window (may vary) in the months of October and November. A candidate can appear for CAT only once during the 20-day testing window. The test score is valid for admission to the forthcoming academic year only. A student must have atleast 50% marks in his/her graduation failing which he/she is not eligible to write the examination.
Common Admission Test will have TWO sections:

It will be for 140 minutes. Student will get 70 minutes to answer 30 questions within each section which will have an on-screen countdown timer. Once the time ends for the first section, you will have to move to the second section and will no longer be able to go back.

5. CIVIL SERVICES EXAMINATION :
The Civil Services Examination (CSE) competitive examination held in India. It is conducted by the Union Public Service Commission.

The results of the student may be declared almost after a year!! By this time, all the necessary procedure must be completed by the student.All candidates must have a minimum of any of the following educational qualifications:
A degree/graduation from a Central, State or Deemed university. This is a certificate given by th Government of India.
There is no minimum % that has to be scored for students to write this exam. Any student can write the exam
So in my point of view, the is the best exam that a student can take and make his future bright. Delhi is the ideal place to prepare for CIVILS. There are many institutions that train you on how to prepare for the examination.
6. CAMPUS PLACEMENTS :
This is for the students who do not want to study higher education and start earning. All the graduate colleges will have campus placements that a student can attend based on his performance in the course.Many companies offer job placements right after a student gets out of his graduation with flying colors.
If the student has a nice aggregate in his graduation, his/her chances of getting recruited is high. The student will be called for the interview and based on his performance he/she will be selected. Once the student is recruited in an company, he has to undergo a 2 years training period where he/she gets to work on various projects. Once this is completed, if the student has the capability to contribute to the company, he/she will be promoted to a higher level. So this is a best option for those students who are not interested to do higher education.
7. Others :
If the student is not interested in doing the above courses always has many other choices like appearing for Railway examination, GMAT, Bank examination, Teaching or establishing his own company and many more.
