is a real challenge. It is advised to start preparing for English from the very first day. If your English is sound enough,
You can almost crack the English section of IRMA with flying colors.
Read lots of English articles. Spend at least an hour per day reading news paper. Take care that you read not only sport

them unless you are very sure of your final choices,” the expert suggests. But you should always give priority to accuracy.
Ensure that while maintaining speed, you do not commit any errors.

Social Concern: This is the toughest section in the paper. The questions mainly are around Agriculture, Environment,
Education, Health, Awards, Organizational Heads. Current Affairs, NGO’s, UN developmental programs etc
The best way to prepare for this section is to read newspaper esp. Hindu editorials. Keep a keen eye for social issues in
newspaper. Cut out the relevant articles and save them. Keep yourself updated
with all the general data. The different development programs by the government and the specific details must be
memorized. Read magazines like yojana, kuruskshetra and Frontline.

Get feedback from your seniors or your boss. Try and get some
mock interviews from experienced people in your field. Be honest and humble. Also try to connect yourself with the
MBA College. How you can contribute to the college and vice versa. Try to map your goal with the college goal.


If you are unable to solve a question, please don't spend an hour on that, Move to the next question and try to
solve easy questions rather than focusing your time and energy on difficult questions. Take more tests. Measure how fast
you are able to crack. Time management is crucial in solving IRMA papers.

Working Professionals: For working professionals: Make IRMA preparation a part of your morning routine.
Photocopy one or two exercise pages and keep it on your table while working.

Notes: Take notes of the tips while preparing for IRMA exam. It helps a lot in last minute revision. Notes are your best
friend during exams. They are handy. Avoid tons of Books with lots of information which you may not need one day before exams.
.

Make Schedule: Make a schedule for your study: Scheduled study is always better than last minute study. You get more
time to understand the fundamentals and also can study without any pressure. Scheduled study gives higher output.


Revise regularly: There is no point of studying if you don’t remember it. Our memory fades away gradually. Without
proper revision we will not be able to retain things in our mind. Revision plays a cardinal role in getting good marks.


Make sure that you scan through your notes a day before exam.
Never read a new topic on exam day.
Be confident and relaxed.

IRMA will always give you a shock when you see the instructions.
Spend the first three minutes scanning through the entire paper, so there are no rude surprises awaiting you.
