TIPS & TRICKS

All aspirants are advised to follow the preparation tips and tricks enlisted below to score well.

Prepare a plan- Before anything else, the aspirant is required to be ready with the plan of action. Without any set plan, implementation becomes difficult. It is essential to chalk out the plan so that the thought process gets solidified and the candidate gets a clear picture of the objective.

Pick the correct study materials- Prior to starting with the preparation of NIFT CAT, the candidate is advised to do the research and pick up the NIFT Entrance Exam books that are relevant. Studying from the incorrect books takes up too much of the candidate’s study time and it can cost him at the end. It is required to pick up books that contain sufficient and trustworthy content. Also, the candidate must make sure that the book is as per the new guidelines and syllabus of NIFT Entrance Exam.

Time Management- Time management is the key to any student's preparation for the NIFT entrance exam. While preparing for the NIFT CAT exam, the candidate should keep in mind that time is the currency. It should be spent wisely. Wasting time in irrelevant study resources and taking too many breaks often lead to a poor result.

Previous Year’s Question Papers/Sample Papers- Practice always makes an individual perfect. The aspirant appearing for NIFT CAT must practice from the question papers of previous years and sample papers. It is also advised to appear for the mock test before appearing for the actual exam. Doing so makes the candidate familiar with the exam pattern of the CAT of NIFT and it takes less effort to solve the questions. Also, through regular practice, a candidate becomes aware of the type of questions that might appear in the exam.

Revision- A candidate should make sure that he completes the entire syllabus way before the exam so that enough room is left for revision. Revisiting difficult topics often leads to a better understanding and it creates a clear picture in the mind of the applicant.

TIPS & TRICKS

All aspirants are advised to follow the preparation tips and tricks enlisted below to score well.

Prepare a plan- Before anything else, the aspirant is required to be ready with the plan of action. Without any set plan, implementation becomes difficult. It is essential to chalk out the plan so that the thought process gets solidified and the candidate gets a clear picture of the objective.

Pick the correct study materials- Prior to starting with the preparation of NIFT CAT, the candidate is advised to do the research and pick up the NIFT Entrance Exam books that are relevant. Studying from the incorrect books takes up too much of the candidate’s study time and it can cost him at the end. It is required to pick up books that contain sufficient and trustworthy content. Also, the candidate must make sure that the book is as per the new guidelines and syllabus of NIFT Entrance Exam.

Time Management- Time management is the key to any student's preparation for the NIFT entrance exam. While preparing for the NIFT CAT exam, the candidate should keep in mind that time is the currency. It should be spent wisely. Wasting time in irrelevant study resources and taking too many breaks often lead to a poor result.

Previous Year’s Question Papers/Sample Papers- Practice always makes an individual perfect. The aspirant appearing for NIFT CAT must practice from the question papers of previous years and sample papers. It is also advised to appear for the mock test before appearing for the actual exam. Doing so makes the candidate familiar with the exam pattern of the CAT of NIFT and it takes less effort to solve the questions. Also, through regular practice, a candidate becomes aware of the type of questions that might appear in the exam.

Revision- A candidate should make sure that he completes the entire syllabus way before the exam so that enough room is left for revision. Revisiting difficult topics often leads to a better understanding and it creates a clear picture in the mind of the applicant.
