OMR sheets are commonly used in one-day exams. Using OMR sheets, competitive exams are conducted on a large scale. These sheets are meant to be used inside a machine so that the checking of exams is error-free and results can be obtained easily.
The cost of OMR sheet is between Rs 1.5 to Rs 2.5. But if you want to reduce the cost just download the OMR sheet format and print it out in any A4 size sheet to practice it at home.

Generally, most aspirants who have cleared Class 12 have to go through various competitive exams to gain admission to good colleges. They need to appear for exams like IIT-JEE, NEET, CLAT, and CAT. Almost all these exams include OMR-based questions, where aspirants must solve the question and bubble in the correct answer.
I have given many OMR-based exams in the past and have seen many students make mistakes on their OMR sheets. These include bubbling the wrong circle, making errors while writing their date of birth, writing the wrong question set, and even marking the wrong answer despite knowing the correct one.
These all things can be avoided easly by practicing before the exam. If you are aware that you are going to give an OMR sheet based exam one thing you have to do is just practice.
