VITEEE Preparation Strategy

To crack VITEEE, it’s important to study smart, not just hard. You can win with NCERT fundamentals, mock tests, time management, and a blueprint of how to revise.

• It has a 3-tier plan: NCERT basics, reference books and then mock tests, and revision.
• Write as many questions as you can: No negative marking-you may give your intelligent guesses.
• Have a cheat sheet: It is better to write on a piece of paper a few formulae and main ideas to revise in a minute or two.
• The most typical traps: No practice tests and problematic areas will be overlooked.
• Learn to learn: Use the 40/ 20 rule and focus on areas you are weak in.
• Be regular: even toppers do revision each and every day, even under the meagre facilities.
• Make it interesting: get rewarded, relaxed, or dress up to learn more.
