Study Plan

All the subjects seem to be basic, but the trick is that you have to keep a balance between time and aptitude.

The few things that you have to keep in mind while you are preparing for your engineering entrance exam is that you need to give your level best to get into the leading colleges/institutes in the country.

Subjects: In order to excel in engineering entrance exam you should work hard on mathematics.  Regular studies will help you to master this subject. Physics and Chemistry should also be treated very seriously as you can score more marks.

Time management: One of the most essential things in preparation for entrance exam is the wise utilization of the available time. Focus on your studies by keeping breaks in between.

The Exam: While you are preparing for the examination, refer to previous question papers so that you will be aware of the type kind of questions that you have to face during the examination. It also helps you to develop confidence to face the examination.
