Can you give me some good tips to cracking the Jamia Millia Islamia University engineering entrance exam???

[Kiran Chandar]

To crack the Jamia Millia Islamia University engineering entrance exam you should start your preparation as earlier as you can do. You should understand the complete syllabus. Following are some tips which will help you in cracking the exam:

Get the right study material
Solve all the example questions!
Fresh mind before preparation and during the last minutes in exam!
Time management!
Try solving past year's question papers so that you have an idea of what to expect
Avoid cramming rather understand
Remove the fear within you
Do not lose hope
Spend one quality hour everyday!
Do not mug ever
Plan and study well
