AIAPGET Siddha study plan

Map the full Siddha syllabus into five blocks: fundamental principles (96 thathuvas, trigunas, panchabhuta, mukkutram), materia medica and pharmacology, diagnosis and Siddha pathology, pharmacy and preparation techniques, and applied clinical Siddha including varmam, yogam and kayakarpam

Build a one-page concept sheet linking the 96 thathuvas, the three humours (vatham, pitham, kabam) and the five elements, then recite it from memory without notes

Define the 32 internal and 32 external therapeutic methods in your own words and tag each to a body system or condition it addresses

List all Siddha diagnostic tools (envagai thervu, naadi, neerkuri, neikuri, sparisam, varna, mozhi, vizhi) and write one line on what each reveals

Set up a spaced-repetition deck of 150 cards covering core terminology in Tamil with English glosses

Classify the Siddha materia medica into thavaram (herbal), thathu (inorganic/metallic), jangamam (animal) and karasoolam groups, and note the classical examples for each

Learn the Siddha names, properties (gunam), taste (suvai), potency (veeryam) and post-digestive effect (vipakam) for at least 40 high-yield drugs

Explain the pancha bhuta composition of common drugs and how that determines their therapeutic action

Differentiate Siddha pharmacology terms such as suvai, gunam, veeryam, vipakam and prabhavam with one clinical example each

Draft a comparison table of single-drug versus compound formulations used in common Siddha practice

Describe the full purification (suddhi) sequence for the major metallic and mineral substances, including muppu and its role

Outline the preparation steps for high-yield dosage forms: chooranam, kudineer, thailam, mezhugu, parpam, chendooram and kattu

Explain the rationale behind each purification step in terms of reducing toxicity and enhancing bioavailability

Identify the classical texts that govern Siddha pharmacy and note which formulations each text is known for

Practise writing a preparation protocol from memory for at least six dosage forms, including quantities and processing stages

Explain the Siddha model of disease causation, including the role of vitiated mukkutram, thodam and the seven udal thathus

Describe the envagai thervu diagnostic framework and how each tool narrows the differential

Apply neerkuri and neikuri interpretation rules to at least ten simulated case vignettes

Correlate Siddha pathology terms with conventional clinical concepts for the major body systems

Review all weeks 1-3 material and close the weakest three topics identified in self-testing

List the classical Siddha formulations for each major clinical category (fever, respiratory, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, dermatological, women's health) with their indications and cautions

State the standard dose, anupanam (adjuvant) and contraindications for the most commonly tested formulations

Describe the principles of Siddha diet therapy (pathiyam) and how it modifies treatment outcomes

Explain the role of kayakarpam and rejuvenation therapy in Siddha practice, including its indications and limits

Summarise the Siddha approach to lifestyle disorders and chronic disease management

Describe varmam points and their clinical significance, including the major varmam locations and applications

Explain the principles of Siddha yogam and its role in health maintenance and therapy

Outline the Siddha approach to paediatrics, geriatrics and women's health, including distinctive formulations

Summarise Siddha surgical and external therapy methods and their indications

Link the clinical topics from week 5 to the applied therapies from this week in a single integrated concept map

Answer at least 200 timed multiple-choice questions across the full Siddha syllabus and log every error by topic

Re-study the five highest-error topics and rewrite their core facts in your own words

Practise eliminating options using Siddha-specific reasoning rather than general knowledge

Review all classical text references and match each formulation to its source text

Rehearse the full syllabus map from week 1 and update it with anything missed

Complete two full-length timed mock exams under exam conditions and record scores

Target a 15 percent improvement between the first and second mock exam

Review every incorrect answer from both mocks and convert each into a flashcard or one-line rule

Consolidate the highest-yield facts from all eight weeks into a single revision sheet

Run a final rapid review of the revision sheet and the spaced-repetition deck
