The Study Material for NID and CEED Preparation

The NID, DAT and CEED exams are not easy as a lot of candidates compete for a few seats. Thus, preparation from proper study material or coaching institutes is very important. Without proper strategic planning and preparation, it would not be possible to crack the exam. If you go to a coaching institute, they will have their own study materials which you can follow, but you should also follow books and previous years’ question papers as well to have a proper understanding of the syllabus, the exam pattern and the type of questions asked.

NID
