Hence candidates can follow the below given tips to adopt before and during the NCHM JEE 2021 exam. Here are the recommended preparation tips by toppers:

Before NCHMCT JEE

• Dig a deep into the NCHMCT JEE syllabus

Candidates must be fully aware of the revised syllabus of NCHMCT JEE. Once you are done with the syllabus you can easily plan on how to work through and the total time you will have to give to each topic under that section. Make sure that you do not miss any topic while studying for the exam as this may hamper your performance in the exam.

• Make a study plan

An organized study schedule for the NCHMCT JEE will allow you to be more effective. Candidates must start with understanding the exam structure followed by a self analysis of their strengths and weaknesses. Divide your time for each section as per your requirements and make sure you follow your plan sincerely. Use the ‘Target Vs Time’ method, wherein you should ensure that you complete your weekly targets and they act as milestones to your preparation.

• Tip for passing Numerical Aptitude

Focus on the question before you start looking at the data underneath it.You’re being measured on two things when you take numerical tests: how many questions you get right and how long you take to answer the questions. So if you can’t answer a question, move on. Try to master yourself in mental calculations rather than opting each time for a calculator.

• Keep your General Knowledge Up to Date

The General Knowledge and Current Affairs section consists of 30 questions but how to prepare for this section? Many times students are clueless when it comes to GK. Read newspapers daily and catch up with general guidebooks such as ‘The Manorama Guide’. Make the Internet your friend – subscribe to online alerts and browse through popular websites to keep a grip on your knowledge about current affairs.

• Master your English Language Skills

The English Language section of NCHMCT JEE can be scoring for candidates. Brush up your vocabulary by reading newspapers and daily articles. Start revising all the grammar concepts and practice regularly reading passages. You can refer to good books like Wren and Martin, etc.

• Understand the Aptitude for Service Sector Section

The Aptitude for Service Section questions are very different from the rest of the sections asked in the NCHMCT JEE as it tests your interpersonal and general moral skills. Try to analyze each and every question objectively and answer only on your personal judgements.

During NCHMCT JEE

• Read instructions and guidelines carefully

You have started answering the questions, but did you scan the instructions thoroughly? Many of us think it is unimportant. Well sometimes it is not. Maybe the pattern has just changed for which you can only get familiar if you read the instructions carefully. Always look for the marking scheme. Then answer the questions accordingly.

• Manage your time proportionally

Allocate your time to each section and per question. The duration of the paper is three hours and there are a total of 200 questions. If you cannot answer a particular question move on. You may well be able to flag the tougher questions and come back to them at the end if you have time.

• Keep Calm and don’t lose hope!
