Hey there!
To crack the exam, first off, you need to be aware of the syllabus for the course you are applying for. Prepare for the exams keeping those topics in mind. You need not study them in-depth but at least brush past them. You should also focus on keeping your base clear and hence go through course materials from grade 11th and 12th.
Secondly, I would suggest you to go through past papers and observe the marking scheme and study the topics according to the weightage allotted to them.
Also, Go through the following topics thoroughly. These have been known to be repeated very frequently in the entrance exams.
-History of Psychology
-Humanistic Psychology
-Child Psychology
-Social Psychology
-Individual Psychology
Lastly, go through the book titled: Introduction to psychology by Robert Baron which will strengthen your base as well as provide with a comprehensive knowledge about the said field.
I hope you get in.
Good luck!
