Hi,
Usually the basic maths from CBSE syllabus is asked in this exam. Basics include maths from grade 9- 12. There is no particular weightage allotted for each chapter. According to my preparation strategy I picked up the topics that are comfortable for me to solve and would fetch marks easily for me. I’m personally strong with Trigonometry, ratio proportion, mensuration topics hence I concentrated on them and could attempt all the questions accurately. So, keep focus on the topics which you are strong enough as each wrong answer will lead to negative marks. Practice test series with Unacademy (https://unacademy.com/goal/nda/DANNJ) helped me to improve my speed and accuracy. You may give it a try. Good luck.
