Preparation approach

Preparation should begin with the official syllabus and examination instructions. Candidates should build a topic-wise study plan, practise the applicable question formats, and review errors before attempting additional mock tests.

Official sample papers, previous papers, and instructions should take priority over third-party summaries whenever they are provided by the examination authority.

Using the examination for admission

Qualifying or scoring in an entrance examination does not by itself guarantee admission unless the official rules say otherwise. Applicants may also need to complete programme selection, institutional applications, document verification, interviews, portfolios, medical requirements, or centralised counselling, depending on the admission system.
