Maximum questions in the exam are asked in the English language section and this part of the exam is also expected to have at least one reading comprehension question which is sure to be time-consuming. So, devote more time to solving questions in this section as this will increase your chances to score high. Another section that can play the deciding factor in the NCHMCT JEE exam is the Aptitude for Service Sector section. A total of 50 questions are asked in this section and there is graded marking in this section, so keep aside extra time to attempt questions in this section.
- Solve Mock Papers: Since NCHMCT JEE 2024 will be conducted as a computer-based test (CBT), a good way to become better equipped with the format is to solve as many mock tests and previous years’ question papers as possible.
