Yes you should fill application once again. Wrong details should not be there. Once it contravenes then your seat may get rejected.
Sir what are topics comes under this General aptitude mentioned in notification please explain sir
As like in UPSC CSAT paper. Will be equivalent to basic aptitude from RS Aggarwal.
Like polity do they follow any frequent style of asking questions on general science becoz the questions asked before is some random question which is not given in any science material(NCERT)( for eg.Selinwanoff test is used to?) So how can score maximum in science Tell any good way sir
Questions fall from the sky. you can’t answer all the questions. But S&T current affairs would be helpful. Recent Diseases, satellites, technologies like IoT, 5G are much expected.
