Expert Strategy: Focus 60% of your energy on the Technical core, as it carries half the weightage. For the remaining 40%, do not ignore the Punjabi section; since it’s 20 marks, it often becomes the "make or break" factor for merit. Practice previous year JE papers specifically for Punjab state exams to understand the GK pattern.

What is the "Normalization" process?
