Strategy
How to maximize your NQT score
Strengthen Programming Logic first
Section 4 (Programming Logic) directly influences your coding score perception. It's the easiest section to improve with consistent practice.
Attempt Numerical with shortcuts
Learn percentage, ratio, and time-work shortcuts. 20 minutes is tight — use approximation and elimination for tricky problems.
Don't skip the Coding Round
60 minutes, 2 problems. Score determines Ninja vs Digital vs Prime. Practice Easy + Medium DSA problems daily.
Manage negative marking
-1/3 per wrong answer. Only attempt MCQs you're at least 70% sure about. Leave the rest blank.
Practice timed section-wise first
Use topic filters here to drill weak areas, then simulate 20-minute timed sections as you approach the exam date.
