Mistakes that cost marks

3 traps to avoid
  • Treating Paper I lightly: five of fifteen items are Telangana-specific, and its 150 marks count in merit.
  • Skipping a paper: absence in either paper disqualifies you (section 12.5).
  • Studying only your subject: Part A, education theory, carries the same 150 marks as Part B.
