Pro-Tip for 2026: The syllabus is strictly based on the AHSEC (Assam Board) and NCERT curriculum for Class 11 and 12. Since there are only 120 questions for a 3-hour window, the exam is less about speed and more about conceptual accuracy. Focus on solving previous years' papers specifically for the Mathematics section, which often carries the highest weightage during tie-breaking.
