How Wrexa Edge prepares you for INET

Expert take: what INET really tests

INET(O) is the Indian Navy’s online officer-entry test with four sections of 100 marks, and its defining rule is that you must qualify in every section — a strong overall score cannot rescue one failed section. Final merit is a 50/50 split between INET and the SSB interview.

Preparation tips

  • Prepare all four sections; you must individually clear each to be shortlisted.
  • Manage the negative marking with accurate, selective attempts.
  • Start SSB preparation early — it carries equal weight to the written test.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Neglecting a weak section and failing to qualify it despite a good total.
  • Treating the SSB as secondary when it is half the final merit.

INET study plan

  • Follow current affairs for General Knowledge
2 Phase 2 — Section balance Weeks after
  • Practise every section — you must qualify in each
  • Do timed sectional tests with negative marking
  • Fix the weakest section deliberately
3 Phase 3 — Mocks & SSB prep Final weeks
  • Sit full INET(O) mocks under time
  • Refine question selection to clear each section cut-off
  • Begin SSB interview preparation (it is 50% of merit)
