If your study routine feels more chaotic than effective, this fresh set of nine recommendations from NDTV will help you turn things around. The first step: review the entire syllabus so you understand what you’re facing and can plan time accordingly. Then it’s about allocating your daily and weekly goals based on subject importance and complexity. Make your schedule predictable but flexible - include short breaks every hour to refresh your mind. 

Don’t skip the revision sessions or practice tests - they’re critical for reinforcing what you’ve learned. And perhaps most often ignored: self-care matters. Prioritising sleep, healthy food and balance between study and rest improves performance more than extra hours of cramming. 

Adopt these nine tips, and your study plan won’t just be “on paper” - it’ll be unstoppable in practice.
