Being familiar with the syllabus will help you focus your energies only on those topics from which questions will be asked in NEET 2020, and not waste time and energy on irrelevant stuff. Remember you have very little time, and so need to make the most of it. Meanwhile, aligning one’s preparation to prescribed exam pattern would eliminate exam day surprises. Take, for example, NEET UG will be conducted in offline mode and include multiple choice questions. Now, if a candidate misses this bit of information and instead prepares for subjective questions or online-mode, it can be a recipe for disaster.
Once you know the syllabus and exam pattern, chalk up a study plan that is actionable. When making time allotments, you may even segregate the topics into groups, say, difficult, moderate, easy. This way you will be able to tackle the difficult topics more effectively. Also, make sure that you take regular stock of your progress. If you feel that a little tweak here and there might, get it done.
One thing about the NEET exam is that is concept-based, meaning it will include many questions that will test your understanding of the fundamentals of the subjects. So, superficial reading won’t cut it. To be successful you will then have to decipher each topic, get to the bottom of it - and all the while not wasting an enormous amount of time. Please note that if you get stuck with a topic, move on to other topics. Or you will have to compensate someplace else, which could be costly.
There are umpteen benefits of taking notes if you do it correctly that is. For example, notes can act as summary points. So every time you need to revise, all you need to do is run through the notes; this is unless you need to read the complete block of texts for additional practice. Prepare your notes while you are reading a topic. Also, as you go along you can keep on fine-tuning the notes so that they can act as standalone preparation material. Likewise, flashcards are very useful in retaining concepts, even formulas.
It is recommended that you maintain a separate sheet for jotting down all the formulas and shortcuts as well.
One of the important pillars of your success would be doing timely revision. The frequency and time allotted for revision, of course, would depend on the topic and the associated difficulty level. For example, if there are complicated formulas and concepts involved, it will need more exhaustive revision than topics with simple concepts. But once you become comfortable with these topics and concepts, you may reduce the frequency.
Another thing is if you are reading a completely new topic that you haven’t touched before, it will not only take a lot of time the first time, but you have to keep revisiting it again and again. So, if you are running out of time and there are still quite a few topics left untouched, you need to make a decision as to how wise it is to study all these new topics; or are you better served to leave some topics out and to concentrate on the rest.
Despite studying long hours, the candidate may still get caught flat-footed in the exam. It happens because solving a problem at home and doing the same thing in the exam hall with the clock ticking away isn’t the same thing. But this gap can be bridged by taking mock tests, which are simulations of the real thing. Mock tests present an exam-like environment, suited for developing time management skills and learning how to cope under pressure. Along with mock test, you may also solve previous years NEET question and sample papers to get an idea about the type of questions asked and topic-wise distribution of questions.
When there is so little time and so much to be done, doubts can easily creep in and can sabotage the preparation. So, stay on guard and never let negativity creep in. But how do one do that? Well, for a start keep away from negative people. Then if you feel like you're starting to feel low, do some recreational activity; just ensure that you get completely detached from your studies when you are having a downtime!
Finally, remember that just because there is an exam round the corner, you don’t have to forgo your timely dinner, lunch or even sleep. It is because if you don’t eat healthily and sleep your full quota, you might become susceptible to anxiety and nervousness. The solution is to live in the present and not to think too far ahead. After all it is the present that we are in control of!!

Dear Aspirant,
According to last year statistics, a home-general candidate get into Maulana Azad Medical College with around 586 marks in NEET-UG. However, these trends are subjected to change over the years. For General candidate 580+ marks are needed to ensure a seat in MAMC. For OBC you might expect the bracket to go down by 5-10 marks. The opening and closing AIR for OBC last year was 32 and 112 respectively.
However, this year with the inclusion of AIIMS and JIPMER, there may be some changes in the required marks. Try for 570 though, that will be enough.
Hope this helps. Thank you.
Dear Jonathan, we do not have 2019 data yet. Neverthless, in 2018, under State Quota, 440 marks secured a seat in Stanley Medical College under General Category. As mentioned, this is 2018 data and cut offs change every year depending on various factors such as no.of candidates appearing for the exam, no.of candidates qualified, top NEET score and difficulty of the exam. Now in 2019, on an average the cut offs increased by 60-75 marks. Now Tamilnadu is planning on starting atleast 6 new Medical Colleges this year. With the availability of the seats, the cut offs might decrease. Having said to get a seat in Stanley Medical College, you should aim for nothing less 550-580.
