Simple Preparation Tips for UIIC AO 2026

• Since Prelims marks don’t count toward the final merit, treat Prelims purely as a hurdle to clear — don’t over-invest time there at the cost of Mains preparation
• For Generalists, focus your Mains preparation on General Awareness with special reference to the Financial/Insurance sector, since this is a distinct scoring opportunity many candidates underprepare for
• Since the final merit is 75% Main Exam + 25% Interview, a strong written score still matters most, but don’t neglect basic interview preparation — insurance sector, current affairs, and your own academic background are common areas
• Because of the 0.25 negative marking, avoid random guessing in the objective sections
• For the Descriptive Test, practice writing a clear, well-structured formal letter and essay (Generalists) or additionally a translation exercise (Hindi Officers) within the time limit
