The Hyderabad University entrance exam is moderately tough as it requires examination of both subject matter and analytical skills. The level of competition varies on the basis of the number of applicants versus the seats available in a programme. Since most courses today admit students based on CUET, strategies for preparation must be in accordance with that pattern of the exam. Students can cope with the level of difficulty with regular study and practice.

After JEE session 2 is completed, only those candidates who are aiming for IITs need to start preparing for JEE Advanced after clearing JEE Main. Those who are above the 98th percentile should start preparing for JEE Advanced as soon as possible. Those below this, between the 95th and 98th percentile, should focus on attempting more mock tests and previous year question papers so that they have a better chance of clearing JEE Advanced
