What is there different level between pipette and beaker?
A pipette (aka pipet) is generally considered a very precise instrument used for measuring exact volumes within a small degree of error. It is generally used with a pipette bulb. A beaker is similar to a measuring cup. It also measures volume but in a more approximate manner and less reliable for precise experiments

Is less precise instrument always more accurate?
No. Accurate relates to how close the actual measurement the instrument measures. Precise relates to how much detail the instrument gives when measuring. They are independent to each other: An measurement can be precise and accurate (eg the value of π is 3.141592654) An measurement can be precise and inaccurate (eg the value of π is 1.733677432) An measurement can be less precise and accurate (eg the value of π is 3.14) An measurement can be less precise and inaccurate (eg the value of π is 1.73).
