Managing two major exams—the PU board exams from March 1st to March 20th and the KCET exam on April 16th and 17th—can be challenging. But with the right strategy, you can excel in both and secure a top 1,000 rank.

60-Day Study Plan Breakdown

To maximize your success, we have divided the 60 days into three strategic phases:

Phase 1: 1st February to February 28th – Syllabus Completion

    • 5 hours on board theory (3 hours for a tough subject, 2 hours for an easy one).
    • 3 hours of KCET-focused MCQ practice.
    • 1 hour for formula and concept revision.
    • 1 hour for mock tests and previous year question (PYQ) practice.
  • Maintain separate notes for theory and MCQs.
  • Follow an integrated study approach: After completing a chapter, solve PYQs for both KCET and PU boards.

Phase 2: March 1st to March 20th – PU Board Exam Focus

  • Focus entirely on board exams.
  • Aim for 290+ marks in PCM.
  • Use early mornings for quick KCET formula revision (30 minutes to 1 hour).
