Hi Somya !


Let me lay down some important points that you might want

to consider before deciding which mode of the test you want to take :


Paper Based Test :


Time-Consuming : In case you make a mistake , erasing the oval and

attempting that answer might be time-consuming.


Marking Correctly : It can be confusing and might be easy to mark

the wrong answer due to shading of the large number of tiny circles for

each answer in the OMR Sheet .


Reading Skills : Some people find it easier to read faster on paper than

on a computer screen . This can vary from person to person.


Computer Based Test :


Software device familiarity : You need to be familiar with using devices

such as keyboard and mouse .


Technical Glitches : There are chances there might be technical failure

in which case you might lose time having to attempt the test again .

If there are any issues , you will need to contact the invigilator immediately .


CBT Centers : Fewer Computer-aided centers available so please ensure

you choose one which has good computer infrastructure so that there are

fewer chances of technical or electrical failures.


Difficulty-wise , it’s the more or less the same for both modes .


So you might want to take mock CBTs and mock PBTs to assess

which is easier for you and choose accordingly .

This will help you figure out whether you can attempt more questions

easily and accurately in which mode and which mode helped you score more marks .


Hope this helps, all the best!
