Last Minute Prep Tips For JMI Entrance Exam 2023

JMI exam preparation can be done by choosing the right study material and preparation strategy.

Solve sample papers: Since only a few days are left for the entrance exam, so don't read new topics anymore. At this point focus on solving as many sample papers as possible. This will improve your problem-solving skills, give you time to correct your minor errors and point out the topics in which you are making the most mistakes.

Revise: Start revising the notes you have prepared so far. Avoid reading testbooks or readymade preparation material at this time as it will increase your confusion. Instead of reading new topics, focus on the revision. While revising, prepare those topics which you find more difficult and keep easy topics for later.

Q:   What is the reservation percentage for Muslim candidates at JMI?
Q:   Can I get into BSc at Jamia Millia Islamia without CUET?
Q:   Do I need to write any entrance exam to get into JMI for BSc or BSc (Hons)?

Time Management: Whether it is a matter of revision or solving sample papers, it is very important to take care of time management. Prepare your timetable and make sure to solve sample papers in the morning and revise during the day. Apart from this, also observe the mistakes you have made in the sample paper. Follow the same routine again the next day. This will strengthen your grip on all the topics and your preparation will be better.

Stay calm and positive: The pressure of the exam falls equally on every candidate. Everyone feels nervous before the exam, but the one who controls his nervousness on exam day and concentrates on the exam achieves success. Therefore, you must focus only on the preparation with a calm spirit and stay positive. Don't waste time worrying about the result of the exam at this time. Do your preparation with full dedication and clarity of thought.

Eat healthily and sleep well - To keep your mind calm and feel healthy on the day of the exam, you must take a proper diet and get enough sleep. Staying up late at night and not eating properly is not good for your physical and mental health. This will make you feel more tired on the day of the exam and it will affect your performance as well. Hence, give equal importance to your diet and sleep.

Keep important things ready - The JMI admit cards are available to download from April 10 onwards. You must download the admit card, paste a passport-size photograph on the given space and keep a photo ID proof ready for exam day. By keeping the essentials ready, you will not be in any panic on exam day and will reach the JMI exam centre on time. Apart from this, read the instructions given on the admit card properly.
