It's completely understandable that you're feeling overwhelmed right now. Many students face similar challenges, especially when preparing for a demanding exam like NEET. Two months is still a reasonable amount of time if you plan strategically and stick to it. Let's create a plan:

1. Addressing the Study Hour Issue:

Quality over Quantity: 3-4 hours of focused study is much better than 6-7 hours of distracted, ineffective study. Don't focus solely on increasing hours; focus on improving the quality of your current study time.

Pomodoro Technique: Try the Pomodoro Technique. Study for 25 minutes with full concentration, followed by a 5-minute break. After four cycles (2 hours), take a longer break of 20-30 minutes. This can improve focus and make studying less daunting.

Identify Distractions: What's breaking your concentration? Phone, social media, noisy environment? Minimize these distractions during study sessions. Use website blockers or app timers if needed.

Optimal Study Times: Figure out when you're most alert and focused. Schedule your most challenging subjects for those times.

Active Recall: Don't just passively read. After studying a topic, try to recall the information without looking at your notes. This strengthens memory.

2. Tackling the Backlog:

Prioritize: Don't try to tackle everything at once. Look at the NEET syllabus and identify the most important chapters in physics and chemistry (those with higher weightage). Focus on clearing those first.

Divide and Conquer: Break down the 5 physics and 2 chemistry backlog chapters into smaller, manageable chunks. Set daily or weekly goals for completing these chunks.

Weekend Catch-up: Use some of your weekend time specifically for clearing backlogs. But remember to include revision of previously studied material as well.

Don't Neglect Current Studies: While clearing backlogs, don't fall behind on your current syllabus. Keep up with your daily/weekly lessons.

3. Biology Revision and Learning:

Time Blocking: Allocate specific time slots in your daily schedule for biology revision. Even 30-45 minutes daily can make a difference if done consistently.

NCERT Focus: For biology, NCERT is your bible. Focus on thoroughly understanding and revising the NCERT textbook.

Flashcards/Mnemonics: Use flashcards or create mnemonics to memorize important biological terms, cycles, and classifications.

Diagrams and Flowcharts: Practice drawing diagrams and flowcharts. This helps in understanding and remembering complex processes.

4. Overall Strategy and Mindset:

Realistic Goals: Don't aim for perfection overnight. Set small, achievable goals and celebrate your progress.

Consistency is Key: Consistent study, even for shorter durations, is more effective than sporadic long study sessions.

Seek Help: Don't hesitate to ask your teachers or classmates for help with concepts you're struggling with. Clearing doubts promptly is crucial.

Mock Tests: Start taking mock tests regularly, even if your syllabus isn't complete. This will help you understand the exam pattern, time management, and identify your weak areas. Analyze your mock test performance and work on improving those areas.

Positive Mindset: Believe in yourself. A positive attitude and consistent effort can make a huge difference. Don't let stress and anxiety get the better of you. Remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint.

Example Daily Schedule (Adapt to your preferences):

Morning: 2 hours: Physics (Current topic or Backlog)

Afternoon: 1 hour: Chemistry (Current topic or Backlog)

Evening: 1 hour: Biology (Revision or Learning)

Night: 1 hour: Review of the day's study + Planning for the next day

This is just a sample plan. You need to customize it based on your strengths, weaknesses, and learning style. The most important thing is to be consistent and disciplined.  Don't get discouraged by setbacks.  Keep pushing forward, and you'll achieve your goals.

All the best

If you're strong in chemistry and willing to work hard on math and physics, chemical engineering could be a good fit. If the math/physics challenge seems too daunting, consider biotechnology, environmental science, materials science, or pharmaceutical sciences. Research for careers and talk to professionals to make the best choice for you, that is you may take career counseling.

All the best

hi ,

yes you can paper for the UGC NET environmental science exam in June 2025 even though you have your masters in chemistry .

eligibility criteria -

• candidates must have a masters degree in environmental science or a related discipline with at least 55% marks
• UGC has allowed candidates with degrees in related field eg. biology, chemistry , physics and earth sciences to appear for environmental science .

since you have Msc. in chemistry , you are likely eligible to take environmental science in UGC NET ,, however , some universities may require additional qualifications or coursework in environmental science .

hope this helps

The average fee for a 2-year MSc Chemistry course through correspondence can range from 20,000 to 70,000 per year depending on the university you choose, with the total cost for the entire program usually falling between 40,000 and 1,40,000. Please note that different universities will have different fee structures, so always check with your preferred institution for accurate information. Factors like the reputation of the university, location, and course specialization can influence the fee. Apart from tuition fees, there might be additional charges like examination fees, project fees, and admission fees.

Hello student,

Hello there,

The 20th percentile cutoff is not calculated individually but is determined based on the total marks of all students who appeared in your HSC board (State Board, CBSE, ICSE, etc.) for that particular year.

Steps to check if you're above the 20th percentile:

1. Find the total marks of your board – Add up the maximum marks for all subjects as per your board's official scheme.
   
   
2. Calculate your total marks – Add up the marks you obtained in all subjects.
   
   
3. Compare with the official 20th percentile cutoff – Each board releases its 20th percentile cutoff marks after results. You need to check the official cutoff released by your board for your category.
   
   What you can do:

• Check last year's 20th percentile cutoff for your board (if available).
  
  
• If your board has not released it yet, you may need to wait for the official cutoff declaration.
  
  
• If you're aiming for eligibility in exams like JEE Advanced, check whether your total marks cross the minimum required percentile once the official cutoff is out.
  
  
  I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.
  
  Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Based on previous years' trends and considering the difficulty level of the exam, here are some predicted cutoffs:

Predicted Cutoffs

- *Qualifying Cutoff*: 70-80 marks (out of 300)

- *Physics*: 20-25 marks (out of 100)

- *Chemistry*: 20-25 marks (out of 100)

- *Mathematics*: 30-35 marks (out of 100)

Regarding your query, if you score nearly 90 marks, you are likely to qualify for JEE Advanced.

Should You Study for JEE Advanced?

If you qualify, whether or not to study for JEE Advanced depends on your goals and aspirations:

1. *IIT Aspirant*: If you aim to get into IITs, you should definitely prepare for JEE Advanced.

2. *NIT/IIIT Aspirant*: If you're targeting NITs or IIITs, you may not need to appear for JEE Advanced, as JEE Main scores are sufficient.

3. *Other Engineering Colleges*: If you're looking at other engineering colleges, you may not need to appear for JEE Advanced.

Consider your goals, interests, and current preparation level before deciding whether to study for JEE Advanced.

Yes, you can pursue a BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration) after your 12th, even with subjects like Chemistry, Biology, Psychology, Bengali, and English. BBA does not require Physics or Mathematics as compulsory subjects. To get started, research universities or colleges offering BBA programs and their eligibility criteria, which usually require passing 12th with a minimum percentage. Some institutes may conduct entrance exams, while others offer direct admission. A BBA prepares you for careers in management, marketing, finance, or entrepreneurship and opens pathways for an MBA later.

If not BBA, you can explore courses like Psychology (B.A./B.Sc.), Biotechnology, Microbiology, BCA (if interested in computers), or design and arts-related fields. Assess your interests and long-term goals to choose the right path.
