TIP: By experience, the GIK test is more oriented to test core concepts. Math and Physics questions will be multiple choice problems due to which the weightage for each question is of 3 points. The test integrates concepts of mathematics and physics into the same section. Practice hard and find smart ways to attempt the questions to save yourself time during the test.
