IBSAT 2025 Exam Day Preparation Plan

Check the IBSAT 2025 exam day preparation plan below:

In the initial 10 minutes, we advise you to scan all the sections and find the easy sections across VA/RC/QA.
Take the most difficult section at first, as it will consume most of the time and attempt the weakest section last.
Try to use the elimination method for solving the MCQs, and only apply 40 to 45 seconds to solve the question. The best part is, IBSAT does not have a negative marking scheme, which will impact the score for incorrect answers.
In the last 10 minutes of the exam, return to the marked question which you can solve.

IBSAT 48-hour crash plan will turn last-minute panic into a strategic preparation. Aim for 110-120 attempts at 85%+ accuracy by focusing your revision on high-yield VA/RC (80 questions total) and taking timed IBSAT 2025 mock test to get to a competitive 85-90 percentile score. It is not the number of hours studied, but having the smart execution: first do the things that you know best, then make guesses after ruling out 2 alternatives, and keep the exam day pace through a light final revision.

Dear Student, The hostel villas and rooms in Global Institute of Business Studies 10-Acre Lush Green Campus are quite comfortable with well-furnished and spacious, typically with beds, study desks, chairs, and wardrobes — designed to support both rest and study. You will have a comfortable living experience thanks to clean, neat, well-maintained, and ventilated hostel accommodations. As for privacy, 3-4 students are expected to share a single unit, which means privacy is average but fairly standard for student hostels. Curfew timings are enforced (e.g., ~8–9 PM), especially in the girls’ hostel, which adds structured security but limits late-night movement.
