How to Prepare For NSEP 2021 Examination 

All the competitive examinations are designed in a way to test the aptitude and the logical knowledge of the candidates. In the same way, the NSEP examination is designed to measure the student’s logical, analytical, and theoretical knowledge in Physics. To have complete knowledge about the subject, there is a need that the students should start preparing for the examination with a good plan. Here are a few of the important points that the candidates should remember while preparing for the NSEP  examination. 

• Prepare a complete study plan: If a candidate randomly chooses a topic and prepares on his own, it won’t be helping him or her to ace this examination. The candidate should first go through the NCERT books and then move on and prepare from the advance reference books. Reference books should only be used if the candidate has doubts regarding any concept. 

• Be thorough with the syllabus: The candidate who has aimed at clearing the NSEP examination should know the entire syllabus. He or she should be able to identify the topics that he or she knows and also the topics that need to be covered. All the topics covered should be revised once. 

• Practising the Mock test: When the candidate has successfully completed the entire syllabus, they should move on and start practising the mock test and the previous years’ questions papers. Practising the questions papers will only help the candidate to get familiar with the types of questions that will be asked in the examination. Practising the mock test without taking the help of a mentor will only help the candidates to manage the time for the official NSEP examination.
