Bihar Polytechnic study plan
Bihar Polytechnic · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
Mathematics
Rebuild the algebra base: solve linear equations in one and two variables, factor quadratics, and apply the remainder and factor theorems until each type is error-free on a timed set.
Drill progressions (AP, GP, HP), permutations and combinations, and binomial expansion by writing the standard formula from memory before each problem.
Set up a formula notebook with one page per topic and rewrite each formula in your own notation to confirm understanding.
Complete 40 mixed algebra and series problems, log every wrong answer with its cause (sign slip, formula gap, misread).
Your checkpoint
A 40-problem algebra and series set scored at 75% or higher, plus a formula notebook with at least 15 entries.
Mathematics
Work through coordinate geometry: distance, section formula, slope, and equations of lines, then apply them to triangle and quadrilateral problems.
Practise trigonometry: values at standard angles, identities, and simple height-and-distance word problems.
Introduce basic calculus ideas (limits, derivatives of polynomials, maxima/minima) at the level used in polytechnic entrance papers.
Do 30 timed questions in 45 minutes to build speed under exam pressure.
Your checkpoint
A 30-question timed mock on coordinate geometry, trigonometry, and calculus with a written error log of every mistake.
Physics
Cover mechanics fundamentals: units and dimensions, vectors, Newton's laws, and friction, solving at least 10 numericals per subtopic.
Solve work, energy, and power problems, including conservation-of-energy setups on inclines and pulleys.
Build a one-page dimension-analysis cheat sheet and use it to check the units of every answer you compute.
Re-solve the previous week's maths error log to confirm the gaps are closed.
Your checkpoint
A 25-question physics numerical set on mechanics scored at 70% or higher, with unit checks shown for each answer.
Physics
Study properties of matter: elasticity, surface tension, viscosity, and fluid pressure, with one worked numerical per concept.
Work through heat and thermodynamics: specific heat, latent heat, expansion, and the first law, applying sign conventions consistently.
Review simple harmonic motion and waves: period, frequency, and the wave equation, solving numericals for each.
Take a 30-question physics mock covering weeks 3 and 4 and analyse it by subtopic.
Your checkpoint
A physics mock scored at 70% or higher with a subtopic accuracy table identifying the two weakest areas.
Chemistry
Master atomic structure: Bohr model, quantum numbers, and electron configuration, writing configurations for the first 30 elements from memory.
Cover the periodic table: trends in atomic radius, ionisation energy, and electronegativity, and explain each trend in one sentence.
Learn chemical bonding: ionic, covalent, and coordinate bonds, plus VSEPR shapes for common molecules.
Balance 20 chemical equations and classify each reaction type.
Your checkpoint
A handwritten sheet of electron configurations for the first 30 elements plus 20 balanced equations, checked for accuracy.
Chemistry
Study acids, bases, and salts: pH calculations, neutralisation, and buffer basics, solving 10 pH numericals.
Cover electrochemistry and redox: oxidation numbers, balancing half-reactions, and electrolysis examples.
Review organic basics: IUPAC naming, functional groups, and isomerism, naming 15 compounds.
Do a 30-question chemistry mock and re-derive every formula you missed.
Your checkpoint
A chemistry mock scored at 70% or higher plus a corrected list of 15 named organic compounds with their functional groups.
General Awareness / Aptitude
Build general awareness of Bihar: districts, rivers, historical sites, state symbols, and current state-level schemes.
Cover Indian polity basics: the Constitution, fundamental rights, and the structure of government, using short self-quiz cards.
Practise aptitude: percentages, ratios, averages, time-and-work, and data interpretation, 15 questions per sitting.
Read one current-affairs digest per day and note five facts worth revising.
Your checkpoint
A 40-question general awareness and aptitude mock scored at 70% or higher plus a 30-fact revision sheet.
Physics & Chemistry & Mathematics & General Awareness / Aptitude
Take three full-length timed mocks under exam conditions and score each by domain.
Revisit only the highest-frequency error types from your logs, not entire chapters.
Rehearse formula recall by rewriting the maths and physics formula notebook from memory.
Finalise exam-day logistics: admit card, ID, reporting time, and a one-page last-minute revision sheet.
Your checkpoint
Three full-length mocks with a domain-wise score trend showing improvement and a one-page final revision sheet.
Milestones
Week 2: Complete a 30-question maths mock in 45 minutes at 70% or higher and confirm the error log has no repeated mistake type.
Week 4: Physics mock at 70% or higher with unit-check discipline applied to every numerical.
Week 6: Chemistry mock at 70% or higher and all 30 electron configurations recalled without notes.
Week 8: Three full-length mocks completed with an upward score trend and every domain at or above 65%.
