Exam Preparation Strategy
To succeed in the admission process, aspirants should begin preparing at least 12 months before the exam date. A structured study plan focusing on core subjects—Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics—is essential. Regular practice of sample papers, mock tests, and time management techniques helps improve performance significantly.
Joining coaching institutes or online platforms such as BYJU’S, Unacademy, or Testbook can provide access to high-quality study materials and expert guidance. Additionally, solving previous years' question papers and participating in weekly quizzes enhances familiarity with the exam pattern.
Counseling Process
The counseling process involves several stages: registration, choice filling, locking of choices, and seat allocation. Candidates must carefully select their preferred colleges and branches based on past rank trends and personal preferences.
After seat allocation, candidates are required to report to the allotted college within a specified time frame to complete document verification and fee payment. Failure to comply with the deadline results in loss of the allocated seat.
