Hello dear, as the INI-CET May 2025 is almost here, the last couple of days matter a lot. This is the moment when most of the students either shine or slip, not because they didn’t study properly, but because they did not attempt the final stretch with a strategic plan. Here is the ultimate Do’s and Don’ts checklist to help you win this race.
5 DO’s to Maximise Your Performance
1. Start with a Warm-Up Every Day
- Just like athletes warm up before a match, begin each study day with a soft start. Pick an easy topic you’re comfortable with to get into the flow.
- A smooth start helps your brain transition into intense revision mode.
2. Micro-Planning Is a Must
- Break your day into 15-minute segments. Unplanned days are lost days.
- A structured timetable—even in these final days—will make your revision far more efficient and productive.
3. Stick to Your Revision Material
- Now is the time for reinforcement, not expansion. Go back to the notes you’ve made, your bookmarks, and your last-minute revision copy.
- Complete what you’ve planned—no distractions, no additions.

4. Do Daily MCQs
- MCQs need to be a part of your daily routine—but do them during the latter half of the day.
- Give special emphasis to PYQs (Previous Year Questions) of the past five years of INI-CET and NEET PG. You ought to know them by heart.
5. Avoid Unnecessary Interactions
- Keep your inner circle small and your intentions keen. Parents and good friends are more than sufficient.
- Refrain from wasting mental resources on too much social media or group conversations.
5 DON’Ts: You Should Avoid
1. Don’t Begin the Day Without a Plan
- Rising without having an idea of what to study is a recipe for stress and lost time.
- One day without a plan can ruin your momentum.
2. Don’t Start the Day With MCQs
- Unless it has always been your way, beginning the day with MCQs is not advisable.
- Start your day with revision.
- Then try yourself out later in the day.
3. Don’t Read Anything New
- This is not the moment to take up a subject you have never learned.
- If you skimped over a chapter or a subject, forget it. Focus on reworking what you know.
- Taking on new material now can water down both new and existing learning.
4. Don’t Compare or Get Distracted by Others
- Focus on your plan. Don’t chase someone else’s study pattern or panic over what others are doing.
- You’re not in a race with anyone else—only with yourself.
5. Don’t Skip Rest or Change Your Environment
- Proper sleep is non-negotiable.
- Don’t fall into the trap of burning out in the final days.
- Avoid shifting your location, trying new routines, or wearing new clothes on exam day.
- Stay comfortable and consistent.
Who Will Win?
Winning will be theirs who remain consistent and positive. Many will stumble in these closing days—but not you. Be the one who stands firm. Like the goalkeeper who waits for the last shot, or the fielder who catches the ball at the boundary, remain vigilant till the last moment.
