MBA entrance being an application driven test, regular practice with complete focus is the key to clearing the test
As the curriculum for the MBA entrance tests is limited, it is essential for you to cover the entire curriculum leaving nothing
After you have completed most of the course, start giving mock test. Higher the number of test that you take, higher would be your learning curve
Thoroughly analyse the result of the mock test for identifying your strong and weak areas. Now follow a structured and organised approach to turn your weak points into your strength
It is a good idea to spend an hour or so in trying to find out what you could have done better in the mock test. Remember, one of the key reasons of giving mock test is to learn from your mistakes
Help from teachers, joining a coaching institute, study of the fundamental concepts and solving solved and unsolved questions would help you in gaining command over the concepts that you find difficult
Build mathematical proficiency. You should thoroughly work on the math problems of 10th and 11th standard
Follow the 3 times principle. Solve every question 3 times; first time would be the attempt, second would be a solution and finally for the purpose of revision. The 3 times principle would help you in understanding the concept better
You should know what to leave for later during the exam. Solve the questions which you think you can answer correctly. Leave complex questions for later. Remember time management is the key!
Also in the first attempt, answer only those questions which would take less than a minute. Long and difficult questions should be reserved for later. Mark such questions and solve them after completing the simpler and less time consuming answers

There are so many good Institutes are prviding Coaching for the MBA Entrance exams, name of some of them are following......

Career Launcher
TIME
Brilliant Tutorials

The Fees of MBA preparation is approx. Rs. 10,000 to 60,000.
