Exam

A U-shaped magnet is another type of bar magnet. This is known as a horseshoe magnet since its shapes resembles the object called horseshoe. The two ends of this U-shaped magnet are its magnetic poles. Configration of these magnetic poles creates a concentrated magnetic field. This concentrated magnetic field makes it much more stronger than a simple and straight bar magnet.

Ideally, yes, but if you have a time crunch, then it is wise to focus on high-weightage and frequently repeated topics. Prioritize subjects that you're strong in, and ensure you master the General Aptitude section, which carries 15 marks. However, leaving large portions of the syllabus can lower your chances of qualifying. Strategic selection and smart revision can help maximize your score.

• Go through and revise the core concepts as many times as possible. 
• Practice PYQs and mock tests regularly.
• Do not touch any new topic in the last two months.

The two points in a bar magnet are its North pole and South pole. A bar magnet has magnetic field lines around it. These points give these field lines a travelling direction. For example, the magnetic field lines emerge form the North pole of the bar magnet and then they curve toward South pole. This makes a complete loop of magnetic field lines around the bar magnet.

I think that it all depends upon student to student.  As far as, I have heard the reviews and experiences of students, mostly students find CUCET easy and simple and its is based on what students already study in school.  With basic study and practice, students can clear it easily. I also came to know that the entrance test has different subjects like maths, science, English and general knowledge and the exam also has several benefits as by giving the exam, you can get scholarship, the more you will score, you will get more scholarships.
