Preparation Tips and Counseling Strategy
To succeed in the admission process, aspirants should begin preparing well in advance. A structured study plan focusing on core subjects—Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics—is essential.
Regular practice with mock tests and previous years' question papers helps build time management skills and improves accuracy. Candidates should also stay updated with current affairs, particularly in science and technology, as these often appear in the exam.
During counseling, candidates must carefully analyze their rank, category-wise cutoffs, and seat availability before making choices. It is advisable to prioritize seats based on preference order and consider backup options in case top choices are not available.
Additionally, candidates should prepare all necessary documents beforehand, including 12th-grade certificates, identity proof, category certificates (if applicable), and migration certificates if required. The counseling process can be stressful, so maintaining calm and clarity is crucial for making informed decisions.
