Don’t try to learn new concepts

This is completely no before the exam. One month before the exam, candidates should not focus their energy on learning new concepts, rather they should aim for polishing whatever been studied to date.

Get your doubts cleared

Doubts are something that jeopardises the whole preparation strategy. As INI CET 2025 is PG level entrance test that tests candidates’ thorough knowledge of concepts, candidates must clear doubts. Candidates could seek the advice of seniors, professors, or any other colleague to make them understand doubt in any particular topic.

No need to be in study mode always, relax and unwind too
