This blog addresses preparation strategies for students at various stages:

  1. Those who have covered a significant portion.

  2. Those in the middle of their preparation.

  3. Those just starting out.

For Students Who Have Covered 5-6 Units

If you’ve invested 2-3 months and completed 5-6 units, here’s a recommended study schedule:

  1. Divide Your Study Time into 3 Slots:

    • Slot 1 (3-4 hours): Focus on new units. Watch live or recorded lectures and study new topics.

    • Slot 2 (1-1.5 hours): Revise completed units. Use notes, high-speed lecture replays (1.5x or 2x), or standard textbooks.

    • Slot 3 (1-2 hours): Practice previous year questions (PYQs). Include CSIR NET, DBT, ICMR, and IISER papers.

  1. Additional Tips:

    • Start preparing for Section A along with Sections B and C.

    • Don’t skip entire units; focus on at least the important topics within each unit. This is crucial given the changing question patterns.

For Students Who Have Covered 2-3 Units

If you began 1-1.5 months ago and have covered 2-3 units:

  1. Focus on High-Weightage Units:
    Prioritise high Weightage Units. These carry significant weight and are highly likely to appear in the exam.

  2. Similar 3-Slot Plan:

    • Slot 1: Cover new units.

    • Slot 2: Revise completed units.

    • Slot 3: Practice PYQs.

  3. Plan Strategically:
    Start with major units and move to lower-weightage topics later. For instance, tackle Genetics and Animal Physiology after high-yield units.

For Students Starting Now

If you’re just beginning, follow a similar 3-slot strategy:

  1. Focus first on the five most important units

  2. Revise and solve PYQs simultaneously.

  3. Cover the important topics of the remaining units if time does not allow for complete preparation.
