One preparation, several exams
Most of these exams are built from the same handful of subjects. Prepare properly for one and you have, without meaning to, prepared for others.
Every figure on this page is an estimate. NIFT Entrance's preparation hours have not been derived from its syllabus yet, so everything computed from them inherits that.

4 of 12 exams have hours derived from a syllabus
Estimated — not yet derived from syllabus
Held out of the ranking above: their hours were judged rather than counted, so their place in it would not mean much. Most covered first.
What each exam is made of
Darker means the exam demands more of that subject. Hatched cells were estimated rather than counted from a syllabus.
