1.  Holistic Coverage of Syllabus

Candidates must know that completing each topic and figuring which are the most topics in the syllabus is the most vital step of the preparation. Candidates must cover important areas of the UPESEAT syllabus and should also understand the probable type of the questions asked from a particular whether it will be a numerical of conceptual question. Candidates who will have better command over the important topic will have a better chance of scoring good marks in the UPES 2026 exam.

2. Hand written Notes and Collection of Important Questions

Candidate should always prefer to have handwritten notes and collection of the important question of the topics. This exercise will later help the candidate in quick revision during the exam days.Candidate should also try to make shortnotes based on figural mindmaps of weightageful topics.

3. Practicing Mock and Previous Year Question Papers

The previous year's question paper will give an idea about the important topics as well as the difficulty level of the examination. Practice the sample paper and question paper as much as you can. By practising the UPESEAT question papers, you will get to know about your progress, topics in which you are facing difficulty, etc. Also, it will boost your confidence when you will appear in the exam.

Physics and Mathematics are subjects that need more and more practice. The more you practice the more you learn. You can buy the mock test or sample paper online from the various educational portals or can purchase it from the stationary shop in the market.

4. Frequent Revision

It is most ignored step by candidates yet the most useful tool to ensure better marks. While studying all the topics is important at the same time timely revision of the already covered topics in optimum frequency is also very very important. Revisions make any information readily available for the brain during exam hence improving speed and the score of the candidate.
