Tips:

  • Read every concept very carefully. Never get stressed during your exam preparation and keep taking short breaks after every study session
  • Don’t hurry while answering the questions, you have a good amount of time to read and understand the question before marking its answer
  • Make a study plan and follow it judiciously
  • Do not just rely upon the above-mentioned books. No single book can cover the entire syllabus. Study each and every topic mentioned in the syllabus. For this, you may also start your preparation with your traditional MBA books since they are a pretty good source, cover several topics, and will also prove to be beneficial for this exam
  • Solve Mock Papers Regularly and not just solve, try to understand the entire concept that the question talks about. For example, If option A is the correct answer to a certain question, try to study and understand the other three options as well.
  • The target for JRF must be to attain more than 120 marks.
