Strategic advice for aspirants includes:
- Exam Preparation: Start early and follow a structured schedule. Focus on understanding concepts rather than rote learning, especially in mathematics and physics.
- Mock Tests: Regularly take full-length mock tests to assess preparation levels and identify weak areas.
- Time Management: Practice solving questions within time constraints to improve speed and accuracy.
- Revision Plan: Develop a systematic revision plan covering all subjects before the exam day.
- Choice Filling Strategy: Rank colleges based on past cutoffs, location preferences, and program strengths. Use the 'safety' category for top choices and consider lower-ranked but suitable options as backups.
- Counseling Process: Attend all counseling sessions and carefully review seat allocation results before accepting any offer.
