Hi #IIMCaspirants,

Now when IIMC entrance exam is just 5 days away I think I should not tell you what to study and what not. All I can do is motivate you & encourage you. And to be honest, trust me to clearing ADPR entrance exam is not a rocket science. Last year I was least expecting to clear the written exam as I had left last question in the exam which was of 15 marks but still I managed to clear the entrance. Reason being the answers were simple and to the point. No bull shitting. Hence without even attempting the full paper I got through. This is all I want to suggest you all who are appearing for the entrance test. Keep your answers as simple as you can, don’t use jargons & keep it to the point to the point.

You must keep yourself up to date about the current affairs. What is going on in and around the world? Follow the tags related to the issue or news you read online on any e-newspaper.

Add value to your answers by putting in various angles to it.
