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 itβs 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.
