Common mistakes in SRMJEEE:
- Confusing similar formulas or concepts
- Calculation errors under time pressure
- Not practicing enough SRMJEEE-specific problems
Comprehension (9% weightage — Moderate)
Priority: Good to know Expected questions: 6 questions (10 marks) Time to invest: 14 days
Strategy: Questions require application of concepts and sometimes multi-step reasoning. Practice a mix of board-level and competitive-level problems. Focus on understanding "why" rather than just "how." SRMJEEE frequently tests edge cases in this topic.
Common mistakes in SRMJEEE:
- Not reading the question carefully — missing key constraints
- Calculation errors under time pressure

Time Management During the SRMJEEE English & Aptitude Section
Optimal Time Allocation
| Phase | Time | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Quick scan | 3-4 min | Read all questions, mark easy/medium/hard |
| Easy questions | 18 min | Solve all easy questions first (aim for 100% accuracy) |
| Medium questions | 18 min | Attempt medium questions with careful reading |
| Hard questions | 8 min | Attempt selectively based on time remaining (attempt all since no negative marking) |
| Review | 3-5 min | Check marked answers, verify calculations |
No Negative Marking Strategy
This is SRMJEEE's biggest advantage. Since there's no penalty for wrong answers, you should attempt every single question. Even random guessing gives you a 25% probability of getting 1 mark. For 10 guessed questions, you'd statistically gain 2-3 marks for free.
Intelligent guessing technique:
- Eliminate 1-2 obviously wrong options
- Use dimensional analysis for physics numericals
- Check boundary conditions
- Use common sense reasoning
- If still unsure, make your best guess — never leave blank
