NEET 2026 has ~21 lakh aspirants. Cracking it is about subject balance, not just biology marathons. Here's the proven approach.
Subject-Wise Strategy
- Biology (50%): NCERT line-by-line, then objective practice.
- Chemistry (25%): NCERT for inorganic, MS Chauhan for organic, OP Tandon for physical.
- Physics (25%): HC Verma + DC Pandey, focus on application not derivations.
Mock Test Calendar
- Months 1–6: chapter tests weekly.
- Months 7–12: 1 full mock per fortnight.
- Months 13–18: 1 full mock per week.
- Last 30 days: revision + flashcards only.
Common Mistakes
- Skipping NCERT for thicker books.
- Ignoring Physics until last 6 months.
- No proper sleep — kills recall.
- Not analysing mock errors.
