How to Crack NEET without Coaching

Many students have repeatedly asked over the years, “How can one prepare for NEET without coaching ?” or “Is it possible to crack NEET in one year without coaching?”

In this blog post, we try to break down to you what it takes to crack NEET without coaching, if it is possible or not and how effective would it be.

What does it take to Crack NEET?

There are a number of factors that account for cracking NEET with a good score.

1. Being Clear and Thorough with basic concepts as per NCERT syllabus
2. Being Able to solve NEET-level Questions
3. Being Able to solve Questions within a Time Limit

Achieving all of this is very much possible without coaching. Here’s what you need to do in order to achieve the above 3 points without coaching.

1. Discipline

You need the discipline to stay on track towards your goal. The students that take coaching also need discipline. However, in their case, they are forced to attend their classes even though they lack interest. Thus, they always end up studying for 2-3 hours every day.

As a student who does not take coaching, you need to be self-motivated and should set a timetable, just like coaching classes have. In these 2-3 hours, you should force yourself to study, so that you can keep up and compete with coaching students.

If you are serious about NEET, then you need to be solving at least 30-40 Mock Papers during your preparation. This practice is also important to catch up with coaching students.

4. Guidance

Make Best Use of Resources

Always remember, that not all who take coaching crack NEET, nor do all who don’t take coaching fail at NEET. The ones that crack NEET are those who use their resources in the best possible manner -whether coaching or not.

The resources that you have in your hand are books, teachers, the internet, and most importantly “TIME”. So, make the best use of these resources.

If you use your resources properly, then it doesn’t really matter if you take coaching or not.
