The students can download it from the net and refer that while making their schedules. Most of the state entrance is completely based upon the curriculum of plus two and if a student is through with this, he/she only have to think about the nature and structure of the questions.

For the All India level examination for medical and Engineering, the topic is mostly covered in the NERT curriculum and the students can refer the text book for preparing the exam. They can also go with the previous year question papers, which is also available in the website.

Students are required to spend very less time as possible on each exam. So be familiar with the shortcut for answering rather than going for a step-by-step method. Also they must be able to read and answer the question in a speedily manner. This can be possible only if the student is practicing a number of question papers.
