hello lads, I got AIR 9XX in RENEET, AIR 2XX in IAT, and qualified jee advanced (110 marks). I have put together a bunch of stuff which I used during my NEET times to help y'all out. 

Before I start I'd like to say, neet is probably gonna go on a big format revamp and become like jee as its gonna be cbt. So, you really DON'T have to follow every single thing on here, take some points, and modify it to your liking (only in a helpful way, or im watching 😡)

Most common questions within students

When do I start?

11th grade is a good starting line, it's really not necessary to start studying intensively in your 9th and 10th grade. Enjoy those days, you're not gonna get those memories back. Even if you're in 12th, start now, forget about how many people are ahead of you and just give it your all, it's never too late. 

When do I complete the syllabus and start mocks?

Please do not rush completing the syllabus for the sole purpose of doing mocks. Be confident in the syllabus, it's not a big problem if it exceeds too much but set a target. Jan is a good time to complete syllabus and start mocks. I scored 580 on my first mock lol and it was an easy one too, it always gets better so don't get discouraged.

Which Coaching is the best? / Where do I study?

Coaching (aakash) genuinely didn't matter much to me (well kinda). Only the last stretch of test series was really helpful. I hated attempted part tests and lectures were really not very good either. The teachers were really lovely and supportive but the bio teachers taught majorly from their modules. I felt phy and chem were too slow for my pace. 

Again, which coaching you attend does not matter for neet. I went to a normal school (boards focused), and attended coaching on weekends. 

Your prep matters the most. Have a good environment set up, I don't see the point of going to live in small hostels and studying there intensively, but if you feel like that's the best option (like when you have toxic parents) then go on. Its not impossible to score good marks studying in a normal school though (which most of yall are, i assume). 

And if you can afford coaching, attend everyday, do not miss classes. Say you miss a class, the teacher will move on to the next topic, and you'll completely lose interest.

How do you get motivated?

I just thought about all the things I'd do after neet, buy an instrument, buy a new phone and a gaming laptop, hang out with friends etc. Your future college should also excite you:)

How to avoid distractions?

Major distractions I'd say is social media. I know your parents will be forcing you to delete insta/twitter/reddit blah blah blah. Look, don't force it. If you delete it all in an instant, you may burn out. Add limits for a start, and download apps like ‘Stay Focused’. Say, you finish prepping at 10, add it so that you can use social media after 10 but before 10:30. DO NOT SCROLL REELS OR CONSUME ANY SHORT FORM CONTENT. It ruins your attention span, so avoid it at all costs. Don't worry you can hit all your dopamine hits after you're done with neet lmao. I was active on this subreddit from April to reneet as well.

How much sleep did you get?

get sleep at night, at least 7 hours. you don't need to pull all nighters if you're consistently prepping. don't fuck up your liver.

How fast is the competition increasing?

NEET’s competition has increased like crazy ever since they made the paper hard in 2025. cutoff went from 525 to 558, with a similar level of paper. I don't think the paper was leaked in RENEET, people are just more prepared. I however think that it should stagnate or increase by 4-5 marks from now, as 2025 had the shock factor which lowered everyone's marks. 

Resources

NCERT

quintessential, what can I say. You literally need to just know the book like by line for biology. I got 360 in bio in both NEETs, that is literally it, they're not gonna ask anything outside the book (as of now I guess).

You need to study line by line and ask questions to yourself

Let's take the line "Notochord is a mesodermally derived rod-like structure formed on the

dorsal side during embryonic development in some animals."

1. Notochord - can be replaced by spinal cord, stomochord

2. mesodermally - can be replaced by endodermally or ectodermally

3. dorsal - can be replaced by ventral (concept matters too, you should know that a notochord is present in the backside and dorsal is in the back)

Bookback, Intext really good starters for a chapter in chem and physics. They asked directly questions from the bookback and intext in the first neet, do NOT skip this. 

Telegram

This is, without a doubt, the best resource you could get for neet, and it's completely free. You get papers from all the coachings, aakash, allen, pw, narayana, local institutes too. So when I studied, I took a lot of these papers and printed them, solved them and shaded them on omr sheets. You probably don't need to do that as its gonna be cbt, but you can just solve them and check the answer key directly.

JEE PYQs and NEET PYQs

PYQs are such amazing sources to prep. I'd recommend using a website called examside.com for this. It has neet, jee and so many other exams. You can solve them either chapter wise, or paper wise. I’d recommend you solve chapter wise as there's a lot of deleted syllabus in 2022 jee (like metallurgy, solid state which is irrelevant to present day neet).

I solved 5 years worth of JEE PYQs and all 25 years of NEET PYQs on the website. its really worth it and it's really satisfying (especially the jee ones) to solve

Darwin

So I used apps as a major prep source, I didn't use many books (i was an ipad kid so I didn't really like books 🤑) to prep. 

This app is very helpful (i know they do a lotta lousy promotions here in reddit but this isn't one of them lol). 

It has like around 10k questions in each subject, pretty good standard too. I'd recommend Darwin premium if you could afford it. Make sure to use the “no repeats” feature and use the revision feature (to go back and attempt questions you made wrong the day before)

That said, please look at all apps (neet prep, marks etc.) and choose which one suits you more to buy the premium.

Books

I solved aakash modules (those 50 questions of level 1) - you can find them in telegram

I solved MTG NCERT on your fingertips completely, has line by line bio questions, so it's a good starter for you. Its a little bit harder for a beginner in chem and phy tho lol. 

dc pandey was really good for physics, but didn't solve it completely tho. 

like I said I grinded more with apps and websites soooo I'm not the best at this.

I've heard friends say HC Verma and Momentum Booster (from aakash) are good. Irodov seems out of scope for neet but who knows the future lol. 

Study structure I followed per chapter

Let's say you take a chapter

1. Lectures - very important for me cuz I didn't pay much attention in aakash

Physics - I watched alakh pandey white board lecs and umeed lecs majorly (i literally don't know Hindi but i understood the whole thing with just his writing)

Chemistry - I watched Pankaj sir batch lectures for organic and his own channel videos for physical. I just studied inorganic with my school teacher’s teaching and did questions on my own

Bio - didn't use lectures, you can just read through ncert 

2. NCERT Intext and bookback 

3. MTG - Generally has 100 questions per chap

4. Darwin - did 100-150 questions in chem/phy and did 200-250 questions in bio per chapter.

5. JEE PYQs - 5 years worth

6. NEET PYQs - really good confidence booster, did everything from the start of neet. however they used to ask outside ncert bio back in the day so you should probably stop before 2016-2017 (for bio only)

again feel free to modify this as much as you want with the resources you have!

You can ask me any questions in the comments :) (only in English pls idk hindi)

hello everyone, im not much of a film watcher so please be gentle. I recently watched jana nayagan (I liked vijays movies here and there but I'm not as hardcore as the others), and I can't help but notice how much generative AI is used in making of the film (lot of the setting in the movie was 100% AI). Gen AI is a really horrible form of AI, it steals from artists, has a bad impact on the environment. im not trying to single out jana nayagan in general, I noticed this in lik as well. it genuinely makes the movie less watchable imo. (p.s. sorry if this is a popular topic of discussion)

my mom says a samsung, I asked for the nothing phone but she said it can't be serviced (idk if it's true or not). so what's the best Samsung on this range?

scored 658 today:)

B - 360 (b2b)

C - 146

P - 152

just wanted to thank this whole community for keeping me sane throughout the whole thing, ly guys

now I don't know if this is a popular discourse over here, I'm a new fan myself. so I've been listening to bandit for a while, and I opened the lyrics for the first time and the hook is "bust it"????? why have I been screaming pussy whenever the song came out brev

my friend scored 240 in bitsat today, and 98.6 percentile in mains (Trichy homestate) so which is better?

bio chem were doable but what the fuck was that physics, the questions are so small but somehow i still can't do it, i thought preneet was supposed to be some confidence booster

and best part they don't even give answer key after exam and tells us its like aiats, im like bro aiats results come 4 days after are they planning to drop the results after neet or what (fine w me) but gimme the damn ans key 😭

edit: checked answer key in tele and its even worse than i thought, fuck you aakash
