  • Mismanagement of Time: Many candidates struggle with time management, as the questions need to be answered within the specified time frame.
  • Over-reliance on Materials: Some candidates rely too heavily on reference materials without understanding the topics beforehand, which can slow them down during the exam.

AIBE XIX (19) Exam Day Guidelines

To ensure there is no untoward incidents on exam day that may derail your chances of qualifying the AIBE XIX (19) 2024, take some timeout to learn the exam-day guidelines which are described below. Note that you can also find these guidelines mentioned on your AIBE 2024 admit card.  

  1. Last-minute exam tips - Do quick revision of important points. Don't read any new topics as it will create undue pressure and eat into valuable revision time. 
  2. Reporting time - Report at the allotted AIBE exam center at least an hour before the commencement of exams.
  3. COVID-19 related guidelines - Wear a mask at all times, carry sanitizers and maintain social distancing.
  4. Carry these items with you - Two black (0r blue) ballpoint pens to mark answers on OMR sheet, admit card, photo ID, and Bare Acts
  5. Avoid taking these items to the exam centre - Electronic items like smartphones, smartwatches, and tablets; Jewellery or any other valuables
  6. Before exam-starts - Follow the instructions given by the invigilator and carefully read the instructions given in the question booklet.
  7. Taking the exam - Start with the easy questions first; this way you will ensure you do not miss out on sure-shot marks. Also, if you are not able to solve a question, do not get stuck and panic. Rather than stay calm, move on to the next question. Once you are done with the rest of the questions, come back and give it a second shot. 
  8. How to do time management - Time seems to fly when you are taking an exam! But if you want to slow it down and ensure you can attempt all the 100 questions, you need to declutter your mind and stay focused. Don't let the mind linger; also get rid of the negativity. Keep saying to yourself I can do it. Once the exam paper is in front of you, take one question at a time; don't look or think too far ahead. Stay in the moment. Remember the composure you show now is going to reap rich rewards. Follow the tips mentioned in the earlier point: start with the easy questions and then move on to the rest; don't waste time on difficult questions (especially at the start).
