Exam Preparation Strategy
To succeed in the admission process, aspirants should focus on strengthening core concepts in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Regular practice with previous years' question papers is essential to understand the pattern and difficulty level of the examination.
Additionally, candidates must prepare for the personal interview by developing strong communication skills and gaining awareness about current business trends and issues. Mock interviews conducted by the university help students familiarize themselves with the interview format and build confidence.
Counseling Process
The counseling process involves multiple stages including choice filling, seat allocation, and final verification. Candidates must fill their preferences for colleges and programs based on rank obtained in the entrance examination.
After the declaration of results, candidates are required to visit the designated counseling center with all necessary documents for seat confirmation. The process includes document verification, payment of fees, and finalization of choices. Once confirmed, seats are allocated according to merit and preferences.
For those who do not secure a seat in the first round, subsequent rounds of counseling are conducted to fill remaining vacancies. Candidates can also opt for the spot-round allocation if they wish to explore additional options after the main counseling period.
