Time Allocation Recommendations

1. **Biology (90 Questions)**: 45–50 minutes. Because NCERT questions are largely factual, solving 2 questions per minute is achievable.

2. **Chemistry (45 Questions)**: 45–50 minutes. Tackle Organic & Inorganic swiftly, reserving time for Physical numerical calculations. 3. **Physics (45 Questions)**: 65–70 minutes. Requires extensive multi-step computations and unit conversions. 4. **OMR Bubble Filling & Re-check Buffer**: 20–25 minutes. Never leave bubble filling until the final 10 minutes.
