Exam Preparation Strategy
To prepare effectively for the entrance examination, students should begin studying early and follow a structured plan that covers all subjects thoroughly. Regular practice of mock tests and previous year question papers is essential.
Focus on understanding core concepts rather than rote learning. For Mathematics, emphasize problem-solving techniques and speed. In Physics and Chemistry, concentrate on derivations and numerical problems. Time management during the exam is crucial for maximizing scores.
Students should also stay updated with current affairs related to science and technology as these may appear in the general knowledge section of some exams.
Counseling Strategy
During counseling, it's important to research the previous years' cutoff ranks thoroughly. Candidates should prioritize seats according to their preferences, keeping in mind both safety and ambition factors.
The institute provides detailed information about seat availability, branch rankings, and past trends. Candidates are advised to consult official websites and guidance materials before making choices during the counseling process.
It is recommended to fill at least 5-6 choices with a mix of safe, average, and risky options to ensure admission in a preferred branch.
