Test series are highly recommended, as this exam is in online mode, unless an aspirant has good time management and has fair idea of what to attempt and what to skip, it will become a difficult task to handle.

Hi Isha,

Since you have not been a part of any coaching as of yet and have certain basics of some subjects not cleared till date, it might not be a correct move to enroll for the achiever's batch now. While it is useful for scoring good marks, but if you have your basics uncleared, it might backfire.

However, if you are someone who is extremely determined and feel you can do pull it off by working really hard, go ahead and enroll for the same.

All the best.

Yes 4;30 mins is enough for self study unless you get distracted in your phone or any other things.

i will recommend not to study  for a specific time limit, study for as much possible as you can and always make sure you study more than 3-4hrs that will help you to get adjust and once you catch a flow in self-studying, time won't be a factor.

overall 4;30mins is absolutely sufficient for self-study a day

Hello Salvi,

Self study is one of the best type of studies. Time duration for preparing for the NEET exam depends on you. But, a minimum of 6-7 hours will be so perfect for a self study to crack the NEET exam with good marks. After learning each and every topic, just attend a test to know your capability. Based upon that you can change your strategies to prepare.

Hello student,

To prepare for BBA entrance exam first you need to know the syllabus for the same. There are four sections namely,

1. English proficiency
2. Quantitative aptitude
3. Logical reasoning
4. General awareness

In the school level, we are generally not taught the kind of questions they ask. So, in order to get a good college the candidate needs to give the preparation some extra time and attention. You can institutions for the preparation of the same as they also guide you on how to attempt the paper and complete it within the time or you can refer some YouTube channels for the preparation of the same. Solving previous years paper is very beneficial.

All the best!

Hello Ayesha,

First of all,let me tell you that everything can be achieved by on own practice and hardwork. But, it also requires proper guidance and coaching under professionals.

So,if you are planning to crack the examination with self study then you may go for it,but it would be more effective and beneficial if you get in touch with a coach.

The experienced individuals would introduce more new terms and provide you with the latest,which you might not be able to achieve by your own. You also get a better understanding about the COMPETITION, more properly going around in the particular field or stream.

I hope you understood my point.

All the best.
