2Map unit marks (Theory 60 across six units) when allocating revision time — nutrition and fabric units carry higher theory weight in the official structure.
3For public nutrition, keep PEM, IDA, VAD, and IDD paired with the matching national programmes (e.g., ICDS, prophylaxis, food security).
4Practise distinguishing structural vs applied design, and fashion vs fad vs classic vs style before attempting fashion merchandising items.
5Use current BSEH Class 12 Home Science syllabus and practical list from bseh.org.in to pair MCQ revision with diet modification, adulteration tests, stain removal, and consumer leaflet practice.
