Hello,
There are basically 4 sections in MBA entrance exam - Verbal Ability, DILR, Quants and GK-
Verbal Ability:
Start reading newspaper daily to increase your reading speed and grasping power. Don't miss out the editorial page. Do a proper analysis of articles on the editorial page. Try to make a summary of articles that you read para by para. But reading a newspaper won't be sufficient. Start solving RCs on a regular basis with proper analysis. DILR
This is one of the toughest section, especially from previous 2-3 years. Not only it is tough but it also checks how quick your senses are and how good you are in selecting the sets. So the best thing to score in LR-DI is to practice more questions on a daily basis so you understand which sets you should leave and before attempting the sets what are the things you should look for. I would suggest this book 'Puzzles by George J Summers'. Quants
This section is one of the most scoring section for student and you too should try to get maximum marks in this section. It has a proper syllabus and you need to practice each and every chapter. The major topics are- Geometry, Arithmetic, Algebra, Number System and Modern Math. It is basically the math that you have studied till the tenth standard. However, having said that, the questions are not really easy. Focus more on Arithmetic and Algebra as these two are the most important topics. GK
Read newspaper daily for current affairs and go for Lucent for static GK.

For the benefits of students passing out of school in 2020 and wishing to do BBA from Canada or Australia, it is advisable to study in an Indian college this year that offers an international degree for its BBA programme. You may study at the Indian college for this year and next year after the pandemic ends you can take a transfer to the university/ college of your choice or the partner College. For example, IILM offers BBA in association with Monroe College, New York. The students get an opportunity to realise their study abroad dreams wherein they receive an internationally accredited degree in India itself. Students will be registered at Monroe College in New York on taking admission at IILM. Students will have access to the Learning Management System of Monroe College and to their student community. At the end of the three-year programme they will be awarded a Monroe college degree right here at the IILM campus in India. Student may transfer to Monroe college in New York at any time and continue with the studies without any interruption. Curriculum and semester system at IILM run parallel as in Monroe College in New York. For more information, visit monroe. Iilm. Edu or contact the Admissions team for eligibility criteria.
