Reach Examination venue on time: 

If you are not well known to the location where your exam is scheduled to be held, then do visit the centre early or one day before the exam. Make sure you have printed admit card and affixed photo on it. Maintain all your id proofs with photocopy in a separate bag to avoid any last minute chaos.

Avoid these mistakes in examination hall: 


  • Drink water before the exam as you don’t want to waste your precious time during the exam in drinking water.
  • Don’t do wild guesses and avoid being stuck on a single Question. 
  • You have lots of questions so just focus on your strength as these exams are all about choices.


Good Luck for your exam ☺
