Be Smart
For any kind of entrance or competitive exam, we need to act smart first. After the 12th we all have enough to understand what is good for us and what is not. So don’t be lazy while preparing. Make balance in your daily routine. You should be smart enough to understand that if you are using social media platforms all the time how would you clear your exam. Don’t think if your elder siblings or parents are not telling you to study so you are free. Just feeling prepared is your duty.
History
Whenever we are preparing for any entrance exam history is mandatory to study. History of the subject for which you are preparing. The history of India is also very important while you prepare for entrance exam. After all, you are planning to study in an Indian college so you should have a good command of the history of India. Apart from this, you think the history section is not mentioned in the syllabus. If they don’t ask history questions in entrance exams but maybe they can ask any history-related questions in a personal interview. So act like a brilliant student and study history.

Use Method of elimination
Whenever in doubt use method of elimination to your rescue. Start by eliminating 2 options which have the least possibility of being correct. Sometimes irrespective of the question, the fact contained in the options itself can be used to eliminate them. Selecting a final answer out of 2 is sometimes tricky and if it’s worth the risk you can go with your gut at times.
Learn all the short cuts

Exercise daily and sleep well so that your mind and body are fresh when you are taking the exam. Avoid sleeping late and tune your mind so that it works best in the time slot of your final exam.
