Why NAT-IGS Is Important
- Acceptance across multiple science programs—ideal for interdisciplinary candidates.
- A unified and competitive evaluation standard ensuring fair admissions.
- Strong NAT-IGS score boosts eligibility and scholarship opportunities.
Preparation Strategy
- Map the syllabus: Identify high-weight topics—Biology and Chemistry are common exam-heavy sections.
- Allocate study sessions: Balanced daily focus: 1 day each for English/Reasoning/Quantitative; 2 days for Biology/Chemistry/Physics combined.
- Practice MCQs daily: Use ExamChamber topic-wise quizzes to build speed and identify weak areas.
- Review previous papers: Download and attempt NAT-IGS sample papers under timed conditions (check NTS site or partner platforms).
- Simulate test conditions: Take 3–4 full-length mock tests before the exam to build stamina.
- Revise smartly: Use flashcards and summary notes for quick last-minute revision—especially for GK and terminology.
