Karnataka PGCET 2023: Key Topics from the Syllabus
Topics included in the Karnataka PGCET 2020 syllabus are mostly from the Graduation level. Preparation on these topics, therefore, requires an understanding of the concepts and rigorous practice of sample papers. For ease of preparation, we are highlighting the points to be kept in mind while covering topics from the syllabus.
- Proficiency in the English Language: The questions in this section check knowledge of the English language, grammar, correct expression of words in English, ability to frame sentences, acumen of business language and vocabulary.
- General Knowledge: Questions in this section will check candidates’ awareness of events happening in India and the world at large. Some of the topics to keep in focus when preparing for the section are Indian Business Environment, Economics, Management, Cultural Events, and others.
- Test of Reasoning and General Intelligence: The questions in this section are in the form of puzzles, analogies, and sets and are analytical in nature. It tests the candidates’ ability to apply their analytical minds to answer questions.
- Quantitative Analysis: Questions in this section will not be from advanced level arithmetic, statistics, and data interpretation. However, knowing the right formula is important to crack questions asked in this section.
Karnataka PGCET 2023: Preparing Study Plan
When you have limited time in hand for Karnataka PGCET 2023 exam preparation, each day counts. To utilise each day in the right way, create an hourly plan. Pick up the hard topics or in other words, topics in which you lack confidence in the first week. Divide the topics into two halves. In the first half, devote your attention to completing a hard topic and in the second half to cover an easier topic. By doing this, the stress level will be balanced.
Make a plan that you do not have to regret following or demand a cheat day after following it for certain days. Do not consult your friends while preparing your study plan. No two individual is alike. Create by understanding your individual information intake capacity and picking up topics for each day. If you are confident to cover more than two topics in a day, go for it. Schedule at least two hours to practice one sample paper each day to self-analyse your preparation level.
Karnataka PGCET 2023 Preparation: Study Method
The level of the Karnataka PGCET 2023 exam is easier in comparison to many other MBA entrance tests. However, this does not mean that you can put less effort into preparing for the exam. The trick for this exam is to follow a smart method of study. We suggest you not study all the topics in length and breadth. Understand the important facts from each point and write it down in your own words. Revise these short notes from time to time to memorise the facts to answer all the questions on those topics.
For the Quantitative Analysis section, create a table on formulae and theorems. Do not go for long formulae. The mental calculation will help you arrive at answers taking less time. So short formula will be better in terms of remembering them as well as in calculation.
Karnataka PGCET 2023 Preparation: Master Time management
The golden rule of all speed-based test is time management and this is applicable for Karnataka PGCET 2023 exam as well. In order to master skills of managing time for the test, practice Karnataka PGCET question papers multiple times as well as any available online test on MBA exam question paper. Do not just practice, keep an eye on the time taken to solve the question paper. On the exam day if you know all the answer but cannot manage the time you will end up completing a fraction of the test paper. Your aim should, therefore, be to answer a maximum number of questions accurate within less duration.
