IPU CET BBA study plan

IPU CET BBA · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & Reasoning and Logical Deduction

  • Diagnose baseline by taking one timed 30-question Quant set and one timed 30-question Reasoning set, then log every error by cause (concept gap, calculation slip, misread, time pressure).

  • Rebuild arithmetic fundamentals: percentages, ratio-proportion, averages, and profit-loss, solving 40 mixed problems with written steps.

  • Drill series completion and analogy-style reasoning for 45 minutes, writing the rule you used beside each answer.

  • Set up a single error log with columns for topic, cause, fix, and re-test date, and enter all Week 1 mistakes.

Your checkpoint

A one-page diagnostic sheet showing accuracy percentage per topic for Quant and Reasoning plus a ranked list of your five weakest topics.

Week 2

Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & Reasoning and Logical Deduction

  • Master time-speed-distance and time-and-work by solving 30 problems and deriving each formula from first principles rather than memorising.

  • Practise syllogisms and blood-relations puzzles in 20 sets, drawing Venn or family-tree diagrams every time.

  • Introduce a 60-second-per-question timer for Quant and record how many you finish inside the limit.

  • Re-attempt all Week 1 error-log entries and mark which fixes held.

Your checkpoint

A timed 25-question Quant mini-test scored and reviewed, with a written note on which two question types cost you the most minutes.

Week 3

Reasoning and Logical Deduction & Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability

  • Work through seating arrangement and ranking puzzles in 15 sets, using a fixed notation system each time.

  • Cover mensuration and basic geometry formulas, solving 25 area, perimeter, and volume problems.

  • Build a one-page formula sheet in your own words for every Quant topic touched so far.

  • Cut average solving time on your weakest Reasoning type by 20 percent, measured against Week 1.

Your checkpoint

A completed formula sheet plus a table comparing Week 1 and Week 3 accuracy and average time per question on your two weakest topics.

Week 4

Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & Reasoning and Logical Deduction

  • Complete 60 mixed Quant questions across all topics covered, with no topic skipped.

  • Complete 60 mixed Reasoning questions covering series, syllogisms, arrangements, and coding-decoding.

  • Simulate exam pressure with two 45-minute back-to-back sections and no pauses.

  • Audit the error log and retire every entry you have now solved twice correctly.

Your checkpoint

A full-length mock result for Quant and Reasoning with section scores, time split, and a list of the three topics to carry into the second half of the plan.

Week 5

English Language and Comprehension & General Awareness / Business and Management Aptitude

  • Diagnose English by taking one timed 30-question set covering reading comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, and para-jumbles, then classify every error.

  • Read two 400-word business or economics articles and write a three-sentence summary of each to build comprehension speed.

  • Review core grammar rules (subject-verb agreement, tenses, prepositions, articles) and correct 40 error-spotting sentences.

  • Start a current-affairs log with 10 dated entries covering business, economy, and appointments.

Your checkpoint

An English diagnostic sheet with accuracy per question type plus the first 10 entries of a dated current-affairs log.

Week 6

English Language and Comprehension & General Awareness / Business and Management Aptitude

  • Practise two-pass reading comprehension on 10 passages, reading the questions first and timing each passage at 6 minutes.

  • Build active vocabulary of 60 words in context, using each in an original sentence rather than a definition list.

  • Study foundational business and management concepts (forms of business organisation, functions of management, basic marketing and finance terms) and write a 10-line summary of each area.

  • Extend the current-affairs log to 30 entries and self-quiz on the first 15.

Your checkpoint

A 60-word vocabulary notebook with original sentences plus a two-page summary sheet of business and management fundamentals.

Week 7

English Language and Comprehension & General Awareness / Business and Management Aptitude & Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability

  • Complete 50 English questions mixing comprehension, grammar, and vocabulary under a 40-minute cap.

  • Complete 50 General Awareness and business-aptitude questions, reviewing every wrong answer against your log.

  • Run one maintenance set of 25 Quant questions to keep calculation speed from decaying.

  • Condense the current-affairs log into a 30-point revision sheet organised by theme.

Your checkpoint

A scored 50-question English and General Awareness set with a 30-point condensed revision sheet attached.

Week 8

Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & Reasoning and Logical Deduction & English Language and Comprehension & General Awareness / Business and Management Aptitude

  • Take two full-length timed mocks under exam conditions and score all four sections separately.

  • Review every mock error and re-solve each one without looking at the solution first.

  • Rehearse a fixed time-allocation strategy per section and test it in the second mock.

  • Finalise a one-page exam-day sheet covering formulas, grammar traps, and key current-affairs facts.

Your checkpoint

Two full-length mock scores with a documented improvement between them and a completed one-page exam-day revision sheet.

Milestones

Week 2: You can solve a 25-question mixed Quant set within 30 minutes at 70 percent or better accuracy.

Week 4: Both Quant and Reasoning mock sections score at or above 60 percent, and your error log shows fewer calculation-slip errors than in Week 1.

Week 6: English accuracy reaches 65 percent or better, and your current-affairs log holds at least 30 dated entries.

Week 8: Your second full-length mock beats the first by at least 10 percentage points overall, with no section below 55 percent.
