Preparing for the TISS entrance test syllabus will not be as tough as you think if you are already preparing for other Management entrance examinations like CAT, XAT or GMAT. 

The only thing required is consistency for one month, syllabus is quite similar to other entrance examinations for management programs. 

Here are a few things to keep in mind to cover your TISSNET Syllabus in one month : 

• Solve the previous year's question papers, there is never a major change in the pattern of questions. You should solve at least past 5 year question papers to be familiar with the time management and question framing strategy in TISSNET Examination. 

• Solve as many mock tests as you can. No amount of theory based learning will be worth it if you have not practiced to retain it all during the examination. Join a mock test program with any leading institutes for mock tests.
