The countdown has begun; just a few days left for INI-CET. At this point, every aspirant is revising, rethinking, and trying to make the most of every single day. But here’s the truth in these days: what you do and what you avoid can decide how confidently you walk into the exam hall.
So, before you get into your notes again, take a deep breath and read this. Let’s talk about what actually matters now — the dos and don’ts that can help you finish strong.
DOs: What You Should Focus On Now
1. Revise What You Already Know
Now isn’t the time to explore new territories. The best thing you can do for yourself is to go over what you’ve already studied.
- Stick to your own short notes, flashcards, and concise PDFs.
- Revise the important tables, images, and high-yield lists you’ve marked before.
- Go topic by topic, not subject by subject — that’s how your brain recalls better under pressure.

2. Rely on PYQs
- If you haven’t done it already, start solving INI-CET previous year papers.
The pattern repeats more often than you think, and it gives you a real sense of what’s important. - After each test, spend time understanding your mistakes. This is worth more than doing five new topics.
3. Give Priority to Key Subjects
In these final days, go over the subjects that INI-CET tends to favour:
- Medicine, Surgery, Pathology, Pharmacology, PSM, and Radiology.
- Make sure you’re solid with their concepts, one-liners, and integrated questions.
4. Keep Testing Yourself
- A small test every day — say 40–50 mixed MCQs — can make a big difference.
It trains your brain to switch between subjects quickly and helps you build stamina for the 200-question exam.
5. Maintain Your Routine
- Don’t change your sleep pattern now. Try studying at the same hours as your exam timing, so your brain is at its peak alertness during those hours.
- Eat lightly, stay hydrated, and ensure you’re getting at least 6–7 hours of sleep.
6. Protect Your Mental Space
- These last few days can mess with your confidence. Remember, everyone feels anxious at this point.
- Do a short walk, talk to a friend who keeps you calm, or meditate for 10 minutes. Protect your peace — it’s just as important as your preparation.
DON’Ts: What You Should Avoid Right Now
1. Don’t Start New Topics
- Resist the urge to open something new now.
- Starting a new subject in the last two weeks doesn’t help — it only confuses your brain and adds stress.
2. Don’t Jump Between Resources
- Stick to the material you’ve been using since day one. A new QBank or new notes might look tempting, but they won’t help you now.
3. Don’t Compare Yourself with Others
- Everyone has a different pace and different weak spots. Stop comparing your test scores or revision schedule with others — it only drains your confidence.
4. Don’t Neglect the Basics
- INI-CET loves asking straightforward, concept-based questions. So don’t overlook simple topics or images just because they look “too easy.”
5. Don’t Burn Out Right Before the Exam
- The day before your exam, take it easy. Go through your notes one last time, revise key formulas, and rest. You’ll recall better with a calm mind than with one that’s overworked.
6. Don’t Let Panic Take Over
- One bad mock test doesn’t mean anything at this stage. You’ve already put in months of work. Trust that. Go into the exam with belief in yourself; it matters more than you realise.
Final Words:
The last days before INI-CET aren’t about studying harder — they’re about studying smarter. Revise the right way, rest your mind, and trust your preparation. Even one good revision cycle can make all the difference.
