  • Approximately 33% from Class 11

Focus more on Class 12 topics as they carry higher weightage. However, do not skip Class 11 — one-third of the paper still comes from there. If you are also preparing for JEE Main, your JEE preparation will largely cover COMEDK syllabus too!

📸 Use Scanned Documents, Not Phone Photos

Do not click photos of your documents with your phone camera and upload them. Use a proper scanner to scan documents. Phone photos often have poor quality, wrong orientation, or exceed file size limits.

Real Example: Sneha tried to apply from her phone on the last day. The website kept crashing, and she could not upload her documents properly. She had to rush to a friend's house to use a laptop.
