OMR exams me preparation strong hone ke baad bhi marks lose ho jate hain—reason hota hai bubbling errors, wrong booklet code, incomplete circles, ya last-minute rush. Ye mistakes avoidable hoti hain agar aap OMR routine pehle se decide kar lo. Is guide me aapko exam hall ke andar ka practical workflow milega: pehle kya fill karein, kaise double-check karein, aur kaunse actions strictly avoid karein.
1. High-Impact OMR Errors
- Wrong roll number / wrong booklet series fill karna
- Half-filled bubbles or multiple bubbles in one question
- Wrong pen (if instructions specify) or smudging
- Late correction without proper erasing rules (if eraser allowed)
2. Safe OMR Routine
- Instruction read → roll/booklet details slow pace me fill → then questions start
- Answers ko consistent batches me mark karein (e.g., every 5 questions)

Last 5 minutes me random new attempts na karein; OMR alignment, roll number, booklet code, and unattempted marking rules check karein.
