IPU CET 2020 Preparation Tips

Serious candidates willing to score good rank in IPU CET 2020 are requested to diligently prepare for their chosen subject.

Strategic Planning: Applying candidates need to focus properly in the areas that they are weak at. Say, if a candidate is appearing for M.A. English CET, he/she will have to see which area of study is he/she weak. If this said candidate, say, is weak in Comprehension but is good at Analytical Reading it will be advised to give more time for strengthening comprehension section. Similarly, if a candidate is applying for say CET LLM, he/she would want to focus on sections that he/she thinks is weak at.

Time Management: As IPU CET 2020 will have ample number of MCQs to be answered in a duration of either 2:30 hours or 3 hours, candidates will have to manage their time accordingly. It is advisable that sections which are strong for a said candidate should be answered first in less amount of time on the day of the chosen IPU CET 2020.

Previous Year question papers: Candidates are advised to give a few mock tests that can be easily found on the internet for their chosen CET Code or solve previous year question papers in order to get a better understanding of the kind of questions to be asked in IPU CET 2020. Doing so will only prepare the candidate gain familiarity with the upcoming CET 2020 of their choice.

Saving Time: Candidates on the day of IPU CET 2020 are hereby advised that while giving IPU CET 2020, they should try and answer as many questions as they can instead of wasting time on one question. Also, if a candidate is good at chemistry, solving maths based questions by using shortcuts and tricks will prove beneficial for them as less amount of time will be wasted per question.
