This Entrance Examination is mandatory for candidates seeking admission to various Medical Courses in Government Medical Colleges/Institutes across India and the admissions to AIIMS and JIPMER. Previous entrance examinations to AIIMS and JIPMER have been substituted by NEET UG.  This situation has led to a tough competition among the aspiring candidates intending to get admission into prestigious AIIMS/JIPMER and Government Medical Colleges.  In view of its great demand and keeping in view of expensive fees structure in Private Medical Colleges, NEET UG has turned out to be a difficult and challenging task for the candidates to secure highest rank/marks in NEET UG 2022.

• Candidates must understand the syllabus and exam pattern of NEET UG 2022

• Keep a hard copy of complete syllabus till the examination and go through the same from time to time to ensure that no topic is missed. In accordance with the topics in the syllabus select/procure suitable study material or books.

• Draw a time table covering the entire syllabus leaving at least a month’s time for revision of the entire syllabus of Class 12th before the examination dates. Leave at least a fortnight’s time before NEET UG 2022 for revision of the syllabus. Students must utilize the time available beyond their school timings right from 10^th class onwards and learn to focus on the study without any distractions.

• Carry out appropriate analysis/review of your study pattern and find out loose ends/mistakes and make adjustments/corrections accordingly.

• It is always advisable to make notes of all topics being studied for revision purpose.
• Time Management in solving the problems/answers is more important. So, focus on mock tests/solving previous question papers setting prescribed time limit and ensure to learn time management which will eventually help in the main examination.

• Set appropriate goals by dividing one topic at a time and accomplish them on daily basis. Though the syllabus initially appears to the candidate as voluminous, overtime, with accomplishing the goals every day, one can understand that the entire syllabus can be covered successfully before the examination.

• Students should first attempt to study the theory part and understand the same thoroughly. Then the student should start solving the problems.  Such approach will enable the student to understand problem solving in a logical way that will help in solving problems correctly in the NEET UG 2022, within the timeframe.

• List out doubts/clarifications required on the topics and seek help from the Seniors or Faculties from time to time.

• Students can also consider joining a crash course, which will help them to master the subjects with a planned strategic manner with appropriate guidance from the faculties.

• Another important tip for the students is to avoid distraction from the main goal of preparation for the examination. Strong determination alone helps the students to avoid diversion from the attention or focus on the main goal.

• Studying non-stop for long hours would deplete the productivity of the students. Hence, students are required to take this into account while preparing their time table to ensure that there will be a minimum “recess time” to refresh themselves before commencing the next session of study. No doubt, students tend to study for long hours before examinations.

• To enhance the productivity, it is a must to rest or relax at defined intervals, which does not mean watching blue screen.  Students should relax doing short work outs or meditation etc. which will enhance their concentration on the study.
