I am currently a class 12 pcm student this year I am going to give my exams... but I am very confused that should I first go for engineering so that it will acts as a good backup plan... or I should simply go for B. A and keep jpsc, ssc exams as backup. because... which plan will act better..

ADITYA KUMAR Student Expert 21st Jan, 2021

Hi

It is better to go for engineering so that you have a backup plan.

This is because,
To be eligible for SSC CGL etc examination you need to be at least a graduate then instead of any other graduation course why not not engineering in which you have much better opportunity in terms of jobs and pay.

Also,
These days it has been become very common to go for SSC, UPSC etc examination after engineering, a lot of students complete their engineering and then go for writing UPSC ,SSC etc examination and not only appear for UPSC ,SSC etc examination, they qualify it as well also and some even top the exam : ) .
For Instance, Kanishak Kataria who topped UPSC civil services examination in 2018 was an engineer.
For SSC CGL, see the toppers over the years :-
2015 topper :- Ravi shankar Singh, an engineer
2016 topper :- Amit jain , again an engineer
2017 topper :-  kaushik Raj , an engineer,

Also,
Engineering is a 4 year long course so even if you take out 3 or 4 hours a day then in that four years you can easily prepare well for your SSC examination and  can ace.

How does landfilling act as an important method of waste disposal?expalin in 150 words

DrTeeth 10th Dec, 2020

Hi.

Landfills are methods of waste disposal for solid or hazardous wastes. It was started as a method of waste disposal to ensure that the waste does not pose any treat to the environment. Usually the waste is separated from the surrounding environment by a suitable barrier (commonly soil). It also depends upon the type, quantity, characteristics of waste and the rules and regulations of that area.

how does landfilling act as an important method of waste disposal? explain in about 150 words

Abhishek Singh Tomar 25th Nov, 2020

A landfill site (also known as a tip, dump, rubbish dump, garbage dump or dumping ground is a site for the disposal of waste materials. Landfill is the oldest and most common form of waste disposal, although the systematic burial of the waste is a modern development. In the past, refuse was simply left in piles or thrown into pits.

Some landfill sites are also used for waste management purposes, such as temporary storage, consolidation and transfer, or for various stages of processing waste material, such as sorting, treatment, or recycling. Unless they are stabilized, landfills may experience severe shaking or soil liquefaction of the ground during a large earthquake.

answer the following questions in about 150 words how does landfilling act as an important method of waste disposal explain

Saunkita Mallick 5th Oct, 2020

Hi, Hope you are doing well!

Landfilling is an important method in the disposal of wastes, as it collects the wastes in a site which then used for purpose of recycling as the waste are concentrated in various layers and is compacted to reduce the volume.

They are monitored for the control of liquid and gas emitted in order to make sure they don't destroy the environment.  Some wastes are burnt some are used to generate bioenergy. Hazardous wastes are segregated and treated.

A scientific landfill is termed so because of its scientific design during construction. One of the biggest problems of ordinary landfills is the seeping of solid waste into underlying soil and water, contaminating both. Scientific landfills eliminate the risk of waste seeping underground as the base layer is constructed of 90 metres of clay, thus arresting any seepage or leakage within the landfill. On top of the base layer, a drainage layer made of soil, measuring 15 metres in length and a vegetative layer of 45 centimetres to minimise soil erosion. The presence of these layers ensures that leachate is collected before it seeps underground.

Scientific landfills also act as degassing systems by reducing the production of methane. Since the layers soak most of the impurities in the waste disposed, methane generates slowly compared to the generation speed in ordinary landfills. Vertical wells installed in scientific landfills help extract methane regularly, and the gas can then be used for electricity and heat generation purposes.

how does landfilling act as an important method of waste disposal? explain

Aditya kumar singh 5th Oct, 2020
Hi,
Landfilling is an important  method of waste disposal.
Landfills are areas of land that contains large deposits of waste and is deosited into layers to reduce the volume and then monitored for control of liquid and gaseous effluent in order to protect the environment and human health.

We can discharge municipal solid wastes, sludges and other waste materials into landfills and in this way they serve as an important method in waste disposal.
