NEET PG study plan

NEET PG · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Pre-clinical subjects (Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry) & Pathology, Microbiology, Pharmacology, Forensic Medicine

  • Build a one-page concept map linking anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry of a single high-yield system (e.g., cardiac or renal), then reproduce it from memory

  • Write 40 flashcards covering the highest-yield physiology mechanisms (acid-base, countercurrent, cardiac cycle) and biochemistry pathways (glycolysis, TCA, urea cycle, glycogen)

  • Solve 50 mixed pre-clinical MCQs under timed conditions and log every wrong answer with the underlying concept, not just the fact

  • Draft a personal error-log template with columns for concept gap, distractor type, and review date

Your checkpoint

A 40-card deck plus an error log with 50 reviewed MCQs, each tagged to a concept gap

Week 2

Pre-clinical subjects (Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry) & Pathology, Microbiology, Pharmacology, Forensic Medicine

  • Complete a second pass over the pre-clinical error log and rewrite any card whose answer you still miss

  • Explain 15 pathology mechanisms aloud (necrosis vs apoptosis, granuloma formation, thrombosis cascade) in under 60 seconds each

  • Tabulate the high-yield microbiology organisms by Gram stain, toxin, and classic clinical clue

  • Complete 60 pathology and microbiology MCQs and stratify misses into knowledge gaps versus reasoning errors

Your checkpoint

A one-page organism-and-toxin table plus a revised error log showing at least 70% of week-1 gaps closed

Week 3

Pathology, Microbiology, Pharmacology, Forensic Medicine & Surgery and allied specialties (including Orthopaedics, Anaesthesiology, ENT, Ophthalmology)

  • Map 30 high-yield drugs to mechanism, key adverse effect, and one contraindication, then self-test the map closed-book

  • Solve 40 pharmacology MCQs emphasising adverse effects, interactions, and antidotes

  • Draft a surgical anatomy checklist covering inguinal region, thyroid blood supply, and abdominal fascia planes

  • Review the error log and retire any concept you can now explain correctly twice in a row

Your checkpoint

A closed-book drug map scored out of 30, with any score below 24 triggering a scheduled re-test

Week 4

Surgery and allied specialties (including Orthopaedics, Anaesthesiology, ENT, Ophthalmology) & Pathology, Microbiology, Pharmacology, Forensic Medicine

  • Work through 50 surgery MCQs covering trauma, hernia, and acute abdomen, writing the decision rule behind each answer

  • Build a forensic medicine reference sheet for age estimation, injury timing, and medicolegal certificates

  • Rehearse 10 clinical scenarios aloud using a structured approach (history, examination, investigation, management)

  • Audit the error log by domain and identify the two weakest areas to carry into the second half

Your checkpoint

A written mid-plan audit listing domain-wise accuracy percentages and two named remediation targets

Week 5

Medicine and allied specialties (including Dermatology, Psychiatry, Paediatrics) & Obstetrics and Gynaecology

  • Construct a differential-diagnosis framework for the top 20 medicine presentations (fever, chest pain, breathlessness, altered sensorium)

  • Solve 40 medicine MCQs and 30 obstetrics/gynaecology MCQs, tagging each miss by system or trimester

  • Summarise the management algorithms for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, postpartum haemorrhage, and abnormal uterine bleeding

  • Review paediatric milestones, immunisation schedule, and neonatal jaundice thresholds in a single condensed sheet

Your checkpoint

Two one-page algorithm sheets (obstetric emergencies and paediatric milestones) plus 70 reviewed MCQs

Week 6

Medicine and allied specialties (including Dermatology, Psychiatry, Paediatrics) & Community Medicine / Preventive and Social Medicine

  • Complete 40 community medicine MCQs covering epidemiology measures, study designs, and screening criteria

  • Calculate sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and attributable risk from raw 2x2 data without looking at formulas

  • Review dermatology and psychiatry high-yield lists and add 20 flashcards for the most commonly tested presentations

  • Re-test every week-1 flashcard and discard cards answered correctly three consecutive times

Your checkpoint

A worked biostatistics sheet with 10 solved 2x2 problems and a trimmed flashcard deck

Week 7

Surgery and allied specialties (including Orthopaedics, Anaesthesiology, ENT, Ophthalmology) & Medicine and allied specialties (including Dermatology, Psychiatry, Paediatrics) & Medical Ethics and Patient Safety / Professionalism

  • Solve 60 mixed clinical MCQs across surgery, orthopaedics, ENT, ophthalmology, and anaesthesia under exam timing

  • Write out the core principles of informed consent, confidentiality, negligence, and duty of care with one illustrative scenario each

  • Practise 10 ethics vignettes and articulate the best response and why the distractors fail

  • Review the error log and convert recurring misses into a single 'last 48 hours' revision list

Your checkpoint

A one-page ethics decision checklist plus a prioritised last-48-hours revision list of no more than 30 items

Week 8

Medicine and allied specialties (including Dermatology, Psychiatry, Paediatrics) & Surgery and allied specialties (including Orthopaedics, Anaesthesiology, ENT, Ophthalmology) & Obstetrics and Gynaecology & Pathology, Microbiology, Pharmacology, Forensic Medicine

  • Take two full-length timed mock tests and record domain-wise accuracy for each

  • Analyse every mock miss and classify it as knowledge, reasoning, or time-management error

  • Re-drill only the highest-frequency misses from the consolidated error log

  • Finalise a day-before exam routine covering sleep, logistics, and a short review of the 30-item list

Your checkpoint

A mock-test scorecard with domain-wise accuracy and a written exam-day plan

Milestones

Week 2: Reproduce the pre-clinical concept map and the organism-toxin table from memory with at least 80% accuracy

Week 4: Mid-plan audit completed: every domain has a recorded accuracy percentage, and the two weakest domains are named with a remediation plan

Week 6: Solve a 2x2 biostatistics problem correctly under two minutes and demonstrate a flashcard deck trimmed to only unresolved cards

Week 8: Both full-length mocks completed under timing, with a written error classification and a final 30-item revision list ready
