Hello Nupur,

To secure a seat in a government college, you need to score somewhere around 150-160. Your board score also plays a major role here since 50% weightage is assigned to the same. Use RS Agarwal for aptitude and NCERT for maths. Also, there are many youtube videos that give the strategy for preparation. Apart from that do make it a point to go through the last 10-15 years paper.

Hope this helps. All the best!
