Preparation Strategy
Win the exam with a focused plan
Build a weekly loop: weightage-first study blocks, PYQ drills, and formula refreshers to keep scores climbing.
Key Preparation Plays:
- Prioritize Thermodynamics, SOM, FM; keep Manufacturing and Maths in rotation
- Weekly PYQ simulations; tag errors by subject and revisit weak spots
- Mix theory and numericals daily; close with formula/diagram flash reviews
- Use mock tests to lock timing and accuracy two months out
