INI CET study plan
INI CET · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Clinical subjects (Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics, and allied specialties)
Map the clinical syllabus into systems and rank them by INI CET weight and your personal error rate
Solve 60 mixed clinical MCQs under timed conditions to establish a baseline score per system
Build a one-page formula and criteria sheet for cardiology and respiratory medicine
Log every wrong answer with the underlying concept, not just the correct option
Your checkpoint
A baseline clinical scorecard listing accuracy percentage per system plus a ranked list of your five weakest clinical topics
Clinical subjects (Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics, and allied specialties)
Revise high-yield medicine topics: diabetes management, thyroid disorders, acid-base interpretation, and electrolyte correction
Drill surgery essentials: acute abdomen, trauma resuscitation priorities, and wound and hernia classification
Practice 30 case-based clinical vignettes with single best answer reasoning written out
Summarise paediatric milestones and immunisation schedule onto a single revision card
Your checkpoint
Two condensed revision cards (medicine and surgery) each covering at least 40 testable facts, self-quizzed to 90 percent recall
Clinical subjects (Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics, and allied specialties)
Cover obstetrics: antenatal care schedules, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and labour stages with management steps
Cover gynaecology: abnormal uterine bleeding workup, contraception counselling, and common gynaecological malignancies
Rehearse interpreting clinical data sets such as CTG traces, blood gas panels, and ECG strips described in text
Complete 80 clinical MCQs with a target accuracy above 60 percent
Your checkpoint
A timed 50-question clinical mock completed with a written error analysis for every incorrect response
Clinical subjects (Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics, and allied specialties) & Para-clinical subjects (Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Forensic Medicine, Community Medicine)
Consolidate clinical weak areas identified in weeks 1 to 3 using spaced re-testing
Begin para-clinical revision with pathology: general pathology mechanisms and systemic pathology high-yield lists
Link each major clinical topic to its pathological basis to reinforce dual retention
Review forensic medicine essentials: medicolegal certificates, poisoning antidotes, and injury timing
Your checkpoint
A cross-linked sheet pairing 25 clinical conditions with their pathological mechanism and medicolegal relevance where applicable
Para-clinical subjects (Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Forensic Medicine, Community Medicine)
Master pharmacology: drug classes, mechanisms, adverse effects, and antidotes for high-yield groups
Revise microbiology: organism characteristics, culture media, and diagnostic tests for major pathogens
Cover community medicine: study designs, biostatistics tests, screening criteria, and national health programme details
Attempt 70 para-clinical MCQs and classify errors as recall, reasoning, or knowledge-gap
Your checkpoint
An error-classification report for para-clinical questions showing the proportion of each error type and a targeted fix for the largest category
Para-clinical subjects (Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Forensic Medicine, Community Medicine) & Pre-clinical subjects (Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry)
Complete para-clinical revision with a rapid pass over remaining pathology and microbiology lists
Begin pre-clinical revision with anatomy: high-yield regions, nerve lesions, and embryology basics
Revise physiology: cardiovascular, renal, and respiratory physiology with numerical problem practice
Revise biochemistry: metabolic pathways, enzyme deficiencies, and vitamin-related disorders
Your checkpoint
Three one-page pre-clinical summary sheets (anatomy, physiology, biochemistry) each verified against a self-quiz of 20 items
Pre-clinical subjects (Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry) & Clinical subjects (Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics, and allied specialties)
Finish pre-clinical coverage and integrate basic science facts into clinical scenarios
Run a full-length mixed mock covering all three domains under strict timing
Analyse the mock by domain and topic to identify residual gaps
Re-drill the 50 highest-frequency facts you missed across all weeks
Your checkpoint
A full-length mock score report with a domain-wise breakdown and a ranked remediation list of 20 items
Clinical subjects (Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics, and allied specialties) & Para-clinical subjects (Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Forensic Medicine, Community Medicine)
Execute a rapid revision cycle over all condensed cards and summary sheets
Take two half-length mocks on consecutive days and compare accuracy trends
Rehearse time-per-question strategy and skip-and-return discipline
Finalise a one-page pre-exam recall sheet of formulas, criteria, and antidotes
Your checkpoint
A final one-page recall sheet plus a trend chart of mock accuracy across all attempts showing improvement
Milestones
Week 2: Clinical baseline accuracy has improved by at least 10 percentage points over the week 1 scorecard
Week 4: All clinical systems have been revised at least once and 25 condition-to-pathology links are documented
Week 6: Para-clinical and pre-clinical summary sheets are complete and each self-quiz is passed at 80 percent or higher
Week 8: Full-length mock accuracy is stable above 60 percent with no domain below 50 percent
