Below is the important points to keep in your mind during JDST Dakshana examination. So go through all points to avoid any mistake.

  1. Do not make your mentality to attempt all Questions because it will disappoint you  if you are unable to solve any questions. And it will decrease your efficiency to solve other questions that you can do.
  2. There are Total 100 Questions Categorised in 4 Section each of 25 Questions. 
  3. Make sure do not attempt that sections which are not belong to you. Like,  if students are NEET Aspirants then he/she have to only attend Biology instead of Math and for Engineering Aspirants it is vice versa. If the students are doing mistake in this case then he/she is wasting his/her time.
  4. I personally recommend you to solve that sections which is easiest for you. Generally students should start their paper from Logical resoning/chemestry then touch other sections. It will help you keep motivating  and relax in JDST exam.
  5. One more thing you should remeber that Solve your questions in round wise. 
  6. In First round solve easiest questions from all sections then and follow round method futher to solve easier to harder questions.
  7. Since in JDST exam paper, there are negative marking of -1 on each questions hence avoid to attempt that questions that you do not know or ther are doubtful questions.
