Exam Preparation Tips
To succeed in the admission process, aspirants should focus on strengthening their core subjects—Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry. Regular practice of mock tests and solving previous years’ question papers is highly recommended.
For JEE Main or equivalent exams, candidates must understand the exam pattern thoroughly and manage time effectively during the test. Additionally, staying updated with current affairs related to surveying and geospatial science can provide an edge in interviews or group discussions.
Counseling Strategy
During counseling, it is essential to make informed choices based on previous rank trends and personal preferences. Prioritize institutions with strong placement records and industry tie-ups. Consider factors like location, hostel availability, and fee structure when filling preferences.
Once the final seat is allocated, candidates must confirm their admission within the specified deadline. Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of the seat.
