Tips and tricks
- Read the bulletin for your own exam year. Dates change every cycle, and a 2026 page is only a guide until the 2027 notice is out.
- Count your age the way the notice does. UPSC CSE counts it on 1 August of the exam year, and SSC CGL 2026 counted it on 1 August 2026, with different limits for different posts.
- For JEE Main, sit both sessions if you can. NTA counts the better of your two scores.
- For CUET UG, choose your tests from each university's programme page. You can take up to 5, counting languages and the General Aptitude Test.
