The term work in everyday life is used to indicate that whenever an activity is done physically we simply say that the body has done some work. When a body moves from its initial position to some distance we simply say this activity of a body as work done by the body.
What is work done in Physics?
In physics, Work done is simply the amount of energy a body needs to move it from its initial position to the final position.
Work Done Definition:
The standard work done definition states that “ The work done by a body is equal to the dot product between the force applied on the body and displacement covered by the body”.

Work Done Formula:
If a body is applied by some amount of force F and the body covers some displacement S then the work done by the body is written mathematically as W=F.S where W is denoted for work done.
(Source: Self-Drawn Using Geogebra)
Mathematically, work done is the product of the force applied on the body and displacement covered by it, and since force has a SI unit of Kgms-2 and displacement has a SI unit of m so, work done will have a SI unit of Kgm2s-2 and standard notation for SI unit of Work done is known as Joules which is denoted as J and it was named after by scientist James Joules.
So, The SI unit of work done is Joules and the dimensional formula of work done is ML2T-2
Consider a block lying horizontally on the table and now it’s affected by some amount of applied force in a particular direction F and let this block gets moved to some displacement in specific direction S and the angle between the force vector and the displacement vector be then the work done by the body in order to cover this displacement is defined as W=F.S and since it’s the dot product between force vector and displacement vector so, Work done is written as W=FScos
(Source: Self Drawn using Geogebra)
Hence, the meaning of work done is simply that, the amount of work done by a body in order to cover a displacement of S when applied with some force of magnitude F and having an angle between force and displacement vector is calculated as W=FScos
Various Factors on which Work done by a body depends.
Some of the factors which affect the work done by a body are listed as:

Variation of work done by a body on varying the value of “Angle between Force and Displacement vector”
Since Work done is directly proportional to the cosine of the angle between force vector and displacement vector which can be seen from the work done formula as W=FScos and we know that decreases while going from zero to degree ninety. So, the value of work done by a body gets decreased when the angle between displacement and force gets increased from zero.
Different cases of variation of work done by varying the angle are listed as:

NCERT Physics Notes:
In physics, work done by a body is simply the amount of energy it needs to cover some displacement, and mathematically work done is defined as the dot product between force vector and displacement vector which is further written as W=F.S . For example, if a body is acted by some amount of force having magnitude F and body covers some displacement having magnitude S and the angle between force and displacement is then, the amount of work done performed by the body will be W=FScos
Work done by a body is simply defined as the product of the force applied on the body and displacement covered by the body, here we have given that F=8N and S=5m and work done is W=FS on putting the values, we get W=8×5=40Joules hence, work done by the body is 40J.
Mathematically, work done is defined as the dot product between force vector and displacement vector, and it’s written as, work done be W=FScos now, the nature of work meaning is that, if the value of cos is positive then the nature of work done will be positive and is the value of cos is negative, then the nature of work done will be negative. As well as if the force vector and displacement vector are perpendicular to each other, then the nature of work done will be zero.
The frictional force acts between two bodies between the surface of contact between them, and frictional force opposes the relative motion between two bodies in contact so, the frictional force is opposing force, hence if the body moves forward so friction force will act in the opposite direction which is backward hence, the angle between the friction force vector and displacement vector is always θ=180° which makes work done by frictional force always negative as W=FScos180°=-FS Hence, work done by the frictional force is always negative.
Since work done is the product between force vector and displacement vector between two bodies. And the force of gravity acts on an object in a downward direction towards the ground and if a block is moving horizontally on the ground then, it covers displacement in a horizontal direction whereas the force of gravity acts in a vertically downward direction, which makes the force of gravity vector and displacement vector perpendicular to each other which makes work done by the moving block is zero as W=FScos90°=0 Hence, work done by force of gravity is zero.

Since your goal is to get into top IIMs (A, B, C) through the CAT route after graduation, and not through IPM, here’s the best option:
Best for CAT prep: Delhi University has a strong academic base and gives enough time for CAT preparation.
Economics Hons is well respected by IIMs.
DU students often do well in CAT due to strong peer competition.
Low fee, great ROI.
Known for business exposure, but it’s a private institute, and TAPMI is more known for PGDM, not UG.
Costlier than DU.
You may be able to convert to their PGDM directly, but it won’t help for IIM A/B/C.
Good for social sector and research.
Not ideal if you want corporate MBA via CAT.
Focus is more on development, not business.
It's new and doesn't have the brand weight like IIM A/B/C yet.
Since you’re not interested in IPM, this won’t align with your plan.
Yes, you can choose ECE (VLSI) at CEG Anna University If your cut-off and TNEA rank meet the required eligbility. VLSI is a core and in-demand specialization with strong placement potential. However starting packages of 15-20LPA for freshers are very rare and usually offered only in top-tier companies such as Intel,Qualcomm etc. and that too only for candidates with Exceptional skills or from IITs.
At CEG,Top IT companies visit for placements but average packages range between 6 - 8 LPA for top performing students. With the right skills in design tools, internships and strong academic projects,higher packages are possible over time.
Yes, you can work in IT field too. after ECE VLSI, as IT companies like TCS,Infosys,Wipro recruit ECE students .
Career Boost tip:
Focus on mastering VLSI tools,doing internships and buliding potential projects.
For IT roles sharpen your skills in coding, DSA,Python and development skills.
This increases your chance of landing roles in top companies with better pay.

Actually the llb entrance exam by lucknow university which was conducted on 10th july is not available yet thats why you are facing the issue but dont worry it will be uploaded as soon as possible.
You can check here whenever it is available
Hello sir,
Thanks for reaching out!
Yes, you still have a good chance even with a mid CEED score, if the rest of your profile is strong. While the CEED score is important, most of the institutes use full selection process that includes your CEED score(Part A and B), Portfolio and often an interview or studio tests.Your 6 years of experience, strong portfolio and relevant coursera certificates can add significant value during admission in IITDM, Srishti etc which consider the overall profile not just the rank.
Hello Pragyan
So you have done Diploma and have a work experience of 4 years which is great. But unfortunately, doing MBA requires an undergraduate degree (of minimum 3 years) from a recognized university. Diploma holders are not eligible for regular MBA.
But there are some alternatives routes which you can take if you wanna do MBA which are:
1. Lateral Entry:
You can apply for lateral entries in colleges for B.Tech/B.E. if you have done your diploma in engineering/technology field. So you will be in 2nd year and after completing the degree (which will take 3 years as you will be lateral), you could pursue MBA.
2. Distance/Online MBA:
Some private institutions offer Distance/Online MBA but be aware that many of them are not recognized by UGC/AICTE.
3. Degree:
You could also pursue a 3 year degree in BBA/BA/B.Com/ whichever stream you are interested in.
If you would really want to pursue MBA, my personal recommendation would be go for a lateral entry or New degree as per your convenience as both will take 3 years. Or if you just want the skills taught in MBA, you can gain them by doing certificates/courses uploaded by IIMs and other professional institutes/individuals like Coursera and Udemy.
Thank You!!!
