Candidates can choose upto three OJEE test cities according to their preference. Candidates must very carefully select the cities as once the OJEE application form is submitted, they can't change city preference. They should choose the first city of preference as their hometome or where they are residing as the exam authorities will likely allot the test centres to candidates in their first city of preference.

Six-Month Preparation Strategy for OJEE Exam
- Make a timetable: When you start your preparation for the OJEE exam, the first thing you need to do is make a monthly, weekly and daily timetable. Make sure you follow the timetable without fail and diligently. Make a timetable such that it covers all the topics of the OJEE syllabus and there is enough time left for revision of what you have studied during these six months. Candidates are given only 120 minutes to solve the OJEE question paper, hence you must keep in mind that OJEE is a time-based exam and therefore, time management is really important.
- Prepare using the right study material: OJEE study material is available online as well as offline. But what is important is that you refer to the right study material. Find the right set of books that will cover all the important topics of the OJEE syllabus.
