  • Newspapers: Reading a newspaper every day is the finest approach to stay up to date on the most recent events in the globe.

  • NCHMCT JEE question paper: Applicants must take the NCHMCT JEE mock tests and the question paper from prior years. This will assist the applicant in comprehending the nature of the questions, their level of complexity, and their level of preparedness for the NCHMCT JEE exam.
  • Revision: GK and current affairs cover such a wide range of information that even if you read everything without making any revisions, there's a good possibility you'll forget everything. As a result, it's imperative that you periodically review the information in this section.
  • Discipline: All of the previously given advice and suggestions are crucial, but they won't do you any good if you can't maintain your composure and give the area the time and attention it deserves. Making a well-thought-out study plan and adhering to it rigorously is advised.
