JNTU EAMCET 2012: Preparation Tips

Engineering Agriculture and Medicine Common Entrance Test (EAMCET 2012) is an entrance examination for admission to a number of professional courses like engineering, pharmacy, biotechnology and veterinary etc in private/government colleges in Andhra Pradesh. 

EAMCET 2012 is conducted by the JawaharLal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) on behalf of Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher education (APSCHE).

To help you perform better, we have some tips and tricks to crack the EAMCET 2012.

• About a month before the entrance exam, start getting used to a wide variety of topics to improve the range of numericals you can attempt.
• Focus on objective type questions, numerical questions and practice as many types of questions as you can. 
• Revise all important concepts and formulae, so that they are on your tips and come to you without any effort or thought, be thorough with them. 
• Engineering entrance gives equal weightage to all three subjects. 

NOTE: Engineering entrance has negative marking for wrong answers.

Things to keep in mind one day before the examination:

• You need at least 6-8 hours of sleep before the examination to keep yourself fresh while solving questions.
• Eat a light meal the night before so that you do not feel drowsy or lethargic during the paper.
• Revise only those topics that you have studied earlier. Do not start reading any new topics just before the examination, since this will be a waste of time and you may lose the information you have already grasped.
• You should reach the test center at least an hour before the exam and if you haven't seen the center before, then you must go and visit the center on the day before the exam.
• Choose a corner in the house where there is pin drop silence.
• Never go to the center on an empty stomach. Have something light. 
• Due to anxiety, you may have the feeling of nausea, keep a medicine handy. 
• Carry a wristwatch to your centre, your admit card, a pen, two pencils, an eraser, a sharpener and other relevant stationary. 

Some important points to keep in mind during the examination

• Read the General Instructions on your answer script or question paper clearly.
• Keep the admit card ready as the examiner will like to see it when he/ she starts distributing the answer sheets.
• Do not use a red pen.
• Start attempting the question paper only after reading the instructions given on it very carefully.
• While attempting questions, go on segregating them by the A, B, C method, questions which are from topics that you have prepared well, and you can clearly comprehend the meaning of these questions. You have done questions containing similar concept earlier and you are confident that you will be able to solve these. B :You know you can solve these questions but they are time-consuming, however you are confident you will be able to solve or attempt them when you come back to them. These questions should be attempted in the second round of question attempting, i.e. when you have solved all questions marked with a B. C :You don't know head or tail of these questions and you should not waste time attempting them.
• Attempting to solve all questions in a hurry increases the chances of error. 
• If you need a diagram to understand questions in physics or coordinate geometry etc., do make one. 
• Use the value of constants given in the paper in solving a numerical. If the value is not mentioned, use the one you remember. 
• Give all three subjects equal time - i.e. 50 minutes each for physics, chemistry and mathematics. 
• Never attempt two questions at the same time. Concentrate on one question at a time. 
• Carry out all rough work only in the space given in the paper. 
• While attempting the answers, do not shade the answer key immediately. Instead, tick your response with a pencil on the answer key. 
• Keep marking questions with A, B, C in the first round of solving the paper. All questions should be segregated into one of these three categories. This saves valuable time later. 
• Fill out the answer key 30 minutes before final time. Fill out the responses to questions attempted after this directly in the answer key.
