How Should You Prepare:

1. Previous Years’ Papers: It should be the main step to start with the practice. Practice the previous years’ papers, since they provide you an idea of the degree of the paper and the exam pattern. If you are a person who has difficulty with completing the questions on time, then set a time limit for yourself when you exercise.

2. Plan an Exam Strategy: This is crucial especially when the time is restricted. Attempt the sections you are favorable at and leave the rest for later. Scheduling the way, you attempt the problems can come in beneficial.

3. Don’t mark your answers randomly: Your objective must be to attempt only 80-85 questions and get approximately 72-75 questions true and the job is performed. Memorize this – You are NOT out there to answer everything that is expected of you.

4. Difficult Questions: Keeping the above in mind, pick and select your battles wisely and let go of questions that are moving to eat up your time. While attempting the paper, don’t stay stuck on a difficult question, move ahead if that occurs. Remember, every problem has equal weightage. At times you can attain the right answer by eradicating options that are not related to the question. So, think about each option and its bearing, you never know what clicks.

5. Conduct a thorough Section-wise Analysis: Each category has its own difficulties. The trick is to identify those and prepare them. For example – Does the QA section encompass more of Basic Math or Higher Math? What is examined more in the GA section – Fixed GA or Current Affairs? What does the VA category priority?

6. General Awareness: This section is a huge deterrent, If you find yourself to be in the same dilemma, then you are certainly not alone. This, by far, is the single most MAKE OR BREAK category in the exam. Remember this – If you do not score well here, chances are you aren’t bringing to that 300 marks craved target. You cannot afford to score anything lower than 85 marks in this area. The key is to ready Current Affairs and Business Awareness in an exceptionally robust way while jeopardizing those hours on static GA may not be as awful as it may seem. Keep smoothing your rusty general awareness, go through the Monthly Questionnaires, Daily Snapshots, and Monthly Compendiums from PRATHAM’s equipment. You will have a significant advantage over additional candidates if you renovate this section into a strength area. So give it your absolute prime!

7. Do Not Forget To Revise:
For ensuring good marks, revision is a must. Without sufficient revision, you may miss the topics that you had reviewed before, which will, in turn, lead to turmoil later on. Therefore, you should spend sufficient time on revising the topics.

8. Note the Marking Scheme:
DU JAT has negative marking. For each valid response, you will be given 3 marks, whereas, for each FALSE response, 1 mark will be deducted. So, it is advisable for you to strive only those problems you are absolutely sure of, in order to resist losing marks in the entrance exam.

9. Be calm, cool, and collected: This paper is frivolity but an ability test, and if you have your theories and fundamentals clear, you don’t need to worry about anything. Don’t stress yourself out that assassinates rational thinking, which is a must to give this paper.
