ETEA Engineering Preparation Online (For Admission In Engineering Universities Of KPK)

ETEA KPK Preparation for engineering exam

After completing the intermediate, students are often confused about what to do next, which leads them to miss many opportunities due to a lack of proper guidance. The purpose of TopGrade.pk is to guide our students to the path of success by helping them at every step of the way. This is why we have designed courses for entry test preparation including ETEA ECAT, to help students achieve their dream all across Pakistan. So, if you are a pre-engineering student from KPK who is planning on taking this test, we got you covered.

ETEA (Educational Testing and Evaluation Agency Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) is an educational entity established in 1998 by the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The goal of this agency is to conduct an entrance exam for admission to the medical and engineering universities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Unlike Punjab, where HEC conducts the engineering entrance exam (ECAT), ETEA holds the entrance test for engineering in KPK. If you aspire to become an engineer, you are at the right place.TopGarde.pk offers a complete engineering entrance exam preparation course including for the ETEA engineering exam. Currently, we have countless students from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa enrolled in our classes. We assure you that if you put your trust in our platform for ECAT preparation, you won’t be disappointed. This article contains everything you need to know about the engineering exam conducted by ETEA KPK. So, let’s get started.

1. What is ETEA ECAT and why is it important to take it?

To get admission to any public or private sector engineering university in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, you have to pass the ETEA engineering entrance exam held by the ETEA agency for UET. This test is basically a prerequisite for getting admission to the University of Engineering and Technology (UET) Peshawar, but lots of private universities have also made it mandatory to pass this test if you are an engineering aspirant. 

If you are serious about opting for engineering as your career, this is the right time for you to set your priorities right. Our platform will help you do that because our goal is to provide guidance, counseling, and the best quality preparatory material to our students so that they can ace this test and manifest their dream of becoming an engineer into reality.

In KPK, the ETEA Engineering test will be conducted in the following cities:

• Kohat
• Swat
• D.I Khan
• Malakand
• Mardan
• Abottabad
• Peshawar

2. What is the schedule for the ETEA engineering test?

The date for the ETEA entrance test varies every year, but it is always taken 2-3 months after students are done with their part 2 exam of FSC. This gives them the time to prepare for the test, and most people do well since the duration of two to three months is enough to ace this test. Many people join academies to improve their test-taking skills, while some prepare for tests on their own. It is important to seek help during this phase, so we suggest you join our academy for ETEA exam prep, as our course is specifically designed for students who don’t want the trouble of going to academies daily. Instead, they can learn things at their own pace from the comforts of their own homes.

The schedule for 2024 is not yet confirmed by UET Peshawar, but like 2021, it will most probably be held in August. But mind that, in 2021, the registration started on June 18, 2021, almost two months before the actual test. Make sure you don’t skip the date for registration by mistake, as your future goals depend on it. The last date for registration was July 20, 2021.

3. How to register with ETEA for the engineering test?

The whole process of registration is very simple, and you can do everything online. The process is almost the same for both MDCAT and ECAT, as they are both held under ETEA.

• The first step in registration for the entrance test is the submission of the entrance test fee, which is 2500 Rs. You can submit it at any branch of UBL, where you will receive a receipt after successful submission. The bank account number to which you will submit the fee is 205505522 (Make sure you check the account number from the official website of ETEA before fee submission, as it is critical that you get it right).
• After that, you should go to the given site, and put the receipt number for logging into your account. After login, you will be asked to fill out some forms, which will contain all the necessary information that they need for registration. The address of the site is given below.

7. What can you do to improve your score on the ETEA entry test?

At TopGrade.pk, we have taught and trained students for entrance exams for years. This experience has taught us certain steps that students should take to boost their performance. For your convenience, we have made a list of things you can do to achieve a high score on any entry test.

• Start your preparation at least 2-3 months before the exam, not right before the test. Cramming last moment will not help you achieve a good score.
• Try to understand the concepts rather than just memorizing them. Once you adopt the habit of understanding, you will have a good grip over your elective subjects. It will give you the advantage of attempting exam questions intelligently. But make sure you don’t become overconfident while attempting because there is negative marking. Bluffing will lead your score to drop because of the implication of negative marking.
• Practice, practice, and practice. This is the only mantra for success. Attempt as many past papers as you can get your hands on. It will help you become acquainted with the format and the nature of questions that appear in the exam.
• Learn the strategy of managing your time efficiently. Once you start working according to the designated timetable, it becomes easy for you to stick to your schedule.
• Locate your weaknesses and work on them. Prioritize the topics that you find difficult. Priority-wise revision is better than revising in chronological order.
• Stay consistent. In order to be victorious, you should put in the effort regularly and stay on track. Give each subject time.
• Minimize the use of social media and smartphones. It is easy to get distracted when exams are approaching so you cannot afford to procrastinate. Limit the time you spend on social media.

8. Why should you opt for an online mode of study for the ETEA engineering exam?

The world is transforming because of the invention of scientific gadgets like mobile phones, laptops, computers, and tablets. In the past, people used to opt for in-person classes because they were bound to, but now they have other options available. E-learning is the new model of education, and its scope is rising among students for various reasons. Digital classrooms allow hundreds of students to learn and prepare for exams without going anywhere. Online learning offers various advantages over traditional learning. Some of them are mentioned below:

• Class Flexibility:

With the online mode of education, you are at the liberty of choosing when to take your classes, listen to the lectures, or complete your assignments. There are no as such deadlines. TopGrade.pk is an online platform that believes in facilitating students. So, you have complete access to all the contents of the course 24/7. The flexibility that comes with online classes is irreplaceable. In online classes, you are not bound to sit at a spot all day and wait for the day to be over. In fact, you can study while running errands around your house. You can customize your schedule based on your availability and ease.

• Self-discipline:

Online classes teach you a significant amount of self-discipline and control. Even though you are free to take classes whenever you are free, it does not mean that you can procrastinate and skip classes altogether. It is no one’s responsibility but yours to pass the exam so you can be a successful engineer in the future. In an online class, students are fully accountable for their actions and results, which in turn motivates them to work hard and push themselves. They are actively participating in online education rather than passively following already set goals. So E-learning makes them more disciplined.

• Efficient time management:

Time is management is one of the most critical steps of preparing for an exam, especially when you are taking classes along with your self-revisions. But it is something not lots of students can do. But E-learning teaches you to manage your time in a way that you get stuff done without feeling overburdened. Students say that they can set and work according to their own pace, and follow their deadlines. It makes the students feel accomplished and responsible when they finish their tasks on time.

• Learning new technical skills:

Online classes are a great way of enhancing your technical skills. During the online mode of learning, you get to explore lots of different digital things, like interactive classes, live discussions, quizzes, downloading material, etc. All these skills can be acquired when you practice online, and the best way to do that is to study online and challenge yourself by getting out of your comfort zone.

• Less Pressure:

Schools, colleges, and academies create a sense of pressure and competition which might overwhelm some people. Students start comparing their pace to others, completely forgetting that everyone’s way and pace of learning is different, hence feeling discouraged. Meanwhile, in online classes, there is no comparison. In fact, you set your own momentum. By doing so, you will be able to prepare for ECAT more peacefully.

• Low cost:

By opting for online education, you save yourself lots of costs that get spent on daily conveyance to your colleges and academies. Not only that, online courses, like ours, are relatively cheaper than the others. So, if you have any issues with affordability, join our classes for preparation for the ETEA engineering entrance exam. There is a variety of courses available on our website that can be customized according to your needs, that too for a very affordable price.

• No restrictions for remote areas:

Students from remote areas don’t have access to the resources available to students from big cities. This biasness and unequal distribution of resources lead to the failure of so many potential engineers. Online classes are an easy alternative for such unfortunate students. You don’t have to travel to far-off areas to get an education. Technology has brought everyone closer and has made access to quality education relatively easier via E-classes.

• Freedom to do other activities:

A considerable amount of time can be saved for other activities if you choose online education over traditional. We advise students to avoid unnecessary topics and focus on high-priority topics. Our teachers can guide you about all the high-yield and low-yield topics. This way you can save so much time that you can spend on other activities.
