Know the Exam Pattern and Marking Scheme

The best way to save time and so that there is no confusion, one must know the exam details. You should know the exam mode, medium and duration of IGKV CET. What type of questions will be asked, how many sections are there, what the weightage of marks is like and is it different from the other courses and programmes or not. There should not be any confusion last minute. Once you know all the details, you will have no problem on the main day and can focus better on the entrance exam. 

Know the IGKV CET Syllabus

Be it for Agriculture or Horticulture or even an MBA, one should have the prescribed syllabus. Don't leave out any topic. Try and study the entire syllabus well in time so that you have time to revise. One can also prepare better by knowing which topics to cover in-depth and which sections will require superficial knowledge such as general studies. You can do so by following the below-mentioned pointers:

  • Cover the subjects thoroughly and know the important topics which have to be covered.
  • Segregate the subjects and topics into easy and difficult categories. Cover topics which you find challenging.
  • Note down the topics which carry maximum weightage (based on previous years’ question papers).

Prep Tips for IGKV CET

Create a Time Table: Many students have found the IGKV CET challenging, which means, one must put in hard work and dedication and it all revolves on the amount of time you have left, from the day you apply to the entrance exam date. Create a time schedule and try to cover the syllabus before the main day. Create a daily, weekly and monthly plan. A time schedule will help you stick to plan and you can cover your topics well in advance, which you can utilize to revise what you have learnt. 

Solve Sample Papers and Previous Years Question Papers: The best way to understand what to expect is by solving previous years' question papers. You can understand the exam pattern, marking scheme and types of questions which are asked. 

Revision: By revising, you can remember better what you have studied better at the end of the day. Jot down pointers as it is always helpful. Revision is key and one must keep on revising to understand the topics better. 

Rest: Apart from the hard work, rest is also important. One needs a fresh and energised mind to study. A tired mind will not register any information. Get proper sleep and even take a nap in between if it is required. No need to stress yourself out. One needs to believe and be confident.
