How did you prepare for NEET UG?
I religiously followed the NCERT, studied the subjects thoroughly and solved a lot of mock tests.
I never counted my hours instead focussed on productivity or rather what I have studied. I would set small goals and work hard to achieve them. I also made sure to get proper sleep. I would sleep at 12 am and wake up at 7:30 am. I used to have classes from 2 pm to 8 pm and did self-study in the remaining time.
Do you feel NEET aspirants are under pressure due to the difficulty level?
There is pressure for sure but not because the exam is difficult but because the competition is too high.
I referred to HC Verma for Physics as well coaching modules. MS Chauhan, Narendra Awasthi and coaching tutors notes for Chemistry. Cengage by Hariom Gangwar and coaching modules for Biology. I studied from these books in addition to NCERT.
What did you do for recreational purposes?
I used to listen to music or talk with my family and friends whenever I felt overwhelmed or got tired of studying.
What advice would you give students who will be appearing for NEET UG?
NCERT is a must, study it thoroughly and solve a lot of mock tests. Revise all topics, especially the volatile ones as many times as possible. And, do your best and not focus on other things or get scared because of the competition.
