That's a very common question, especially for people transitioning from Microsoft Word! Google Docs doesn't have a direct, named "Text Box" button like Word does. Instead, it uses the Drawing Tool to create a free-floating, movable area for text. Here’s the simple, three-step process: 1. Go to the Insert Menu: Open your Google Doc. In the top toolbar, click on Insert. 2. Select Drawing: From the dropdown menu, hover over Drawing and then select + New (or simply New if you see it). This will open a separate drawing canvas window. 3. Draw the Text Box: * In the Drawing window's toolbar, click the Text Box icon (it looks like a square with a capital T inside: ). * Click and drag your mouse on the canvas to draw the box to your desired size. * Type your text inside the box, format it as needed, and then click the blue Save and Close button in the top right corner. The text box will now appear in your Google Doc as a graphic element. You can click on it in the document and use the Wrap text or Break text options to position it exactly where you want it on the page. You can also click Edit to go back into the drawing window and change the border color, fill color, or text style. Hope that helps!

Finding a truly great GATE center in a regional hub like Silchar means looking for quality faculty and a strict academic calendar. Based on local reviews and the structures of national brands, I can give you a couple of strong contenders known for their discipline: ### 1. Aakash Institute (Focus on Structure and Testing) While Aakash is nationally famous for NEET/JEE, their infrastructure, when applied to GATE preparation (especially for the foundational subjects), is excellent for students who need a detailed schedule and high-quality assessments: * Detailed Schedule: They operate on a highly structured, pre-defined academic calendar with set completion targets for the syllabus. This prevents last-minute scrambling. * Regular Assessments: They offer the AIATS (All India Aakash Test Series), which is critical. Writing national-level tests helps you benchmark your performance against thousands of other aspirants, giving you a realistic idea of your national rank. * Facility: Look for their branch located near Holy Cross Higher Secondary School on Sonai Road. Call them to ask specifically about their GATE batches and faculty profiles, as some branches might primarily focus on the 11th/12th grade entrance exams. *** ### 2. Aranyak Institute (Strong Local Reputation) Aranyak is a highly-rated local institute that often gets praise for its subject-wise depth and accessible faculty. * Faculty Commitment: Smaller, local centers often have instructors who are more invested in the individual performance of their students. They are known for their hands-on approach and regular doubt-clearing sessions. * Assessments: You'll want to specifically ask them about their weekly or bi-weekly subject-specific tests and how they track your progress over the entire curriculum. A great center should provide performance analysis after every test, not just the scores. * Location: They have a presence in the Nag Naha Lane/Tarapur area. Contact them and ask for the specific full-length test series schedule to ensure it aligns with your preparation timeline. My key tip: Visit both centers. Ask to see a copy of their yearly class schedule (the timetable) and their test series calendar before enrolling. That level of detail is a true sign of a well-organized, top-tier center.
