There are 2 rules when we attempt VARC section.

Rule no:1: Never answer a question before reading the question. No matter whether we have speaking in English all our life or we have been religiously following Shahsi Tharoor on Twitter, there is a whole lot that we need to learn and one of them is English is a complicated language.

Rule no: 2: Never break Rule no.1. We go to the exam hall with confidence because we have grown up speaking in English all our lives. And the Question might be "Who is NOT the current Prime Minister of India and you are given 4 options. Now the brain is a tricky organ. It picks what it wants to leaves what it feels is unncecessary. We know the answer that Mr. Modi is the Prime Minister of India and we do not waste any further time in choosing the option against Mr. Modi's name. Now what did you miss by not reading the question? "NOT" That single word changes the answer in a whole different way and lets say even if you attempt 5 such questions from VARC, am afraid it is a dent in your score. So never read the answers and assume the question. That is one of the most deterrent way to lose out on marks.

Here, we shall try to help you to prepare for VARC section effectively.

Hello,  as you join coaching,  they will provide you notes on syllabus topics only. So I thought it is sufficient to study coaching notes. And along with this,  you are solving previous year question paper,  it is good thing. But try to solve many question papers as you can,  and try to solve by setting time,  so that you can prepare yourself for time management. Because this is most important to clear this entrance exam.

I hope it will help you.

thanks.

Hi Pushan,

I understand that you are interested about some course at SDA Bocconi Asia Center, Mumbai and have noticed that the course is not accredited by AICTE and so to answer your question I would like to advise you that you please do not take this particular course into consideration as most of the organizations do make a note of the fact that whether the candidate has studied from an AICTE approved college or not while placements or during employment as they take this matter into significant consideration.

BEST WISHES!
