If you are also preparing for AKTU/UPTU/UPSEE 2025, then this question must have come to your mind – “Where to start preparation?” and “How to do it?”. In this article, we will explain in detail those important tips and tricks that can make your path to success easier.
Important information related to the exam
First of all, you have to understand that now there is no direct admission in some courses like B.Tech or B.Arch through UPSEE.
- Admission in B.Tech is based on JEE Main score.
- NATA score is mandatory for admission in B.Arch.
- CUET UG/PG score is valid for admission in other UG/PG courses.
UPCET is no longer just a common entrance exam, it has become a common platform through which admission is given in various private and government colleges of Uttar Pradesh.
Preparation Strategy – How to make a precise plan?
Make a Study Plan
Preparation for any exam is incomplete without a plan.
- First of all, understand the entire syllabus of UPSEE/UPCET thoroughly.
- Divide the entire syllabus into small parts and set goals every week or every day.
- Give time to difficult subjects in the beginning so that revision is easy later.
Manage Your Time
- Time management is the key to success.
- Give equal time to every subject.
- Make a daily time table that balances study, revision and breaks.
Stay away from mobile or social media or limit their use.
Use the Right Study Material
Hundreds of books are available in the market, but not every book is useful.
- Choose books that cover the syllabus recommended by AKTU.
- Some good books are:
- Arihant’s Guide for UPSEE
- MTG’s CUET UG Books
- NCERTs for Class 11th and 12th (especially Physics, Chemistry and Maths)
Practice Previous Papers & Mock Tests
Solving previous year question papers can improve your preparation.
This will help you with the exam pattern, types of questions and time management.
Give a full mock test every week and identify your weaknesses.
Explain Your Answers to Others
- When you explain your answers to others, you understand the subject even better.
- Discuss the topic you have studied with friends or a family member.
This will increase your confidence and make the concept clear.
Stay Healthy During Preparation
- Do not ignore health by being busy in studies.
- Take at least 7–8 hours of sleep every day.
- Do yoga and meditation, this will improve mental concentration and reduce stress.
- Avoid junk food and heavy food, and eat fruits, vegetables and light food.
Take regular breaks
Continuous study makes the brain tired, and its productivity decreases.
After every 2 hours of studying take a break of 10 15 minutes.
When this happens, just go out to walk, take green tea or some soft music.
Stay Updated with Notifications
- Many times students miss important updates like form filling date, admit card, or exam schedule.
- Keep getting updates from the official website and trusted educational portals.
- Register for email and SMS alerts.
Application & Admission Process
Some prominent universities such as Lovely Professional University (LPU), Sharda University, and Amity also offer admission to B.Tech and other courses through their private entrance exams.
Example: LPUNEST application form can be filled till 20 June 2025.
Bonus Tips
- Focus on the basics initially, not on the tough questions.
- Follow your progress: create daily and weekly checklist.
- Never lose hope, get positive and believe in yourself.
