TSICET 2025 Time Management

As per the TSICET exam pattern, the sections are not time-bound. Test-takers have the liberty to attempt the sections in the order of their choice. The total duration of the exam is 150 minutes or two hours and 30 minutes. Hence, for each section, there are approximately 50 minutes. This makes TSICET a time-intensive test. Candidates should manage their time judiciously. Ideally, less than a minute should be allotted for each question. Even though there is no negative marking scheme in the TSICET exam pattern, candidates should attempt only those questions of which they are completely sure of being accurate. Otherwise, even if they won't lose marks, they would lose time and not even get rewarded for it. Hence, a proper time management strategy is necessary to crack TSICET 2025.
