How to Manage Time During IPU Entrance Exams

How to Manage Time During IPU Entrance Exams

Time management is one of the most important skills you need to master for success in the IPU (Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University) entrance exams. Many students know the answers but still lose marks because they fail to manage their time properly during the exam. Here are some smart strategies to help you manage your time effectively:

1. Understand the Exam Pattern

Before the exam day, make sure you are fully familiar with the exam structure — the number of questions, sections, and the time allotted. This helps you plan how much time you can spend on each section.

2. Practice with Mock Tests

Take as many mock tests as possible. Simulate the real exam environment by setting a timer. Regular practice improves your speed, accuracy, and confidence.

3. Divide Your Time

Plan a rough time limit for each section or question. For example, if the exam is 150 minutes and there are 150 questions, you should aim to spend about one minute per question.

4. Start with Easy Questions

Begin with the questions you find easiest. This saves time, boosts your confidence, and ensures you collect marks quickly before tackling tougher problems.

5. Don’t Get Stuck

If you find a difficult question, don’t waste too much time on it. Mark it, skip it, and come back later if time permits.

6. Use the Last 10 Minutes Wisely

Reserve the final 10 minutes for revising your answers. Quickly check if you have missed any questions or made any silly mistakes.

7. Stay Calm and Focused

Anxiety can waste precious time. Stay calm, read questions carefully, and avoid rushing, which can lead to errors.

8. Use Shortcuts and Tricks

Learn smart tricks, formulas, and shortcuts for solving problems faster, especially in mathematics and reasoning sections.

9. Avoid Negative Marking

In exams where there is negative marking, don't guess blindly. If you’re unsure, it’s better to leave the question than to lose marks.

10. Build a Strategy in Advance

Before entering the exam hall, have a clear plan: which section to attempt first, how much time to spend on each, and when to move on.


Conclusion

Managing your time well is as important as knowing the syllabus. With the right strategy, regular practice, and a calm mind, you can maximize your performance in the IPU entrance exams.
Remember: Every second counts. Use it wisely!
