Orient your study around clinical scenarios and multi-step diagnostic reasoning; rote memorization of factual trivia has been replaced by clinical vignette problem solving.
Review previous 5 years of INI-CET and NEET-PG repeat topics and image spots (histopathology slides, CT/MRI scans, ECGs).
Focus intensely on high-yield revision schedules during the final 60 days using customized 20th-notebook high-yield summaries.
