- Short Notes: During the long-term Karnataka PGCET preparation, candidates must have created short notes for all topics. These short notes were very helpful in last week's revision. Rather than checking books for each topic, candidates must refer to the short notes to recall the covered topics.

This brings approximately 72 seconds for each question. Therefore, candidates must focus on answering each question within 60 seconds to keep some extra time for revision. Candidates must attempt all questions and rely on guess work in a question where they are unable to land at an answer. There is no negative marking in Karnataka PGCET exam.
