Why is it so tough?

  • The low acceptance rate means only the most prepared make it through.
  • Conceptual depth across all three subjects + rigorous problem-solving required.
  • Time-pressure and sectional strategy matter a lot.
  • Changes in pattern year-to-year mean you must stay updated and flexible.

What’s New / What to Watch Out For in 2026

  • The organising institute announced a computer-based format, emphasising familiarity with CBT environment.
  • Keep an eye on updated marking schemes, section distributions and question‐types (MCQs, numerical answer type, etc).
  • Important: Download your admit card within the stipulated window and ensure the photo-ID requirements are clear.

Preparation Strategy – Your 5-Point Action Plan

  • Master the Basics – Ensure Class 11 & 12 fundamentals in Physics, Chemistry & Maths are rock solid.
  • Solve Smart – Don’t just do many problems — do right ones. Focus on quality: tricky problems, prior-year papers, test series.
  • Simulate Exam Conditions – Take full-length CBT-style mock tests under timed conditions. Practising under pressure builds stamina and speed.
  • Analyse & Improve – For every test: review mistakes, identify weak topics, revise smartly.
  • Time & Stress Management – On the exam day you’ll be doing two papers. Stay calm, strategic, and have your break plan sorted.
