[Arun Vats]

To crack the ISRO entrance exam you should have good knowledge of core subjects as they can expect questions from them in the technical interview. Here are some tips which will help you in cracking the exam:

Solve last year papers and new sample papers to get better results.
Take part in online preparation test conducted by different websites.
Don't attempt those question in which you are not confident enough.
Give special time on Time management as this is the cause of failure of most of the talented students
