Anything you would want to ask experts?Answered a week ago
Many students assume this section is easy and skip preparation for it. That is a mistake. Revise hospitality basics, food and beverage service, front office operations, and general etiquette to score well.

You should give at least 10 to 12 full mock tests in the last month. Space them out across four weeks. Always review your mistakes after every mock test.

No. Last month is for revision only. Starting new topics at this stage creates confusion and wastes time. Focus only on topics you have already studied and improve accuracy

You should study 6 to 8 hours daily in last month. Divide time across all sections. Give extra time to your weak areas. Avoid studying more than 9 hours.

Around 4 to 6 months of regular study is enough for NCHMCT JEE preparation. If basics are strong, even 2–3 months focused preparation can work.
