NDA Study Plan

Step 1: Introspect

Yes, this is the first step you are going to start with. Introspect where you stand, how much do you know, are you capable enough, do you need more practice, all these questions, you ask to yourself. The best way to do this is to pull out a previous year paper and solve it. The marks you score in this paper are the marks that you will be scoring in the upcoming exam without preparation.

Step 2: Gather Syllabus, Books And Other Materials

Collect all the previously asked papers, it is going to be very useful. Apart from this, keep NCERT textbooks in your proximity while preparing. 

Step 3: Identify Your Weak Areas

Now that you have completed your introspection by solving previous papers, identify areas and topics in which you are weak. Make a list of all the topics in which you lag, ranking from weakest to weaker topic.

Step 4: Identify Your Strong Areas

Just like you identify weak areas, also identify and make note of topics in which you scored well and are strong. This will help you in making a proper study plan. Rank these topics from strongest to stronger.


Step 5: Make A Study Plan

Now, this is dependent on a candidate and depends on how he wants to study for it. If you are a person who is not motivated enough, then you may start with strong areas and gradually move on to the weak areas. Start from the strongest areas and try to complete it within a week of time and gradually start preparing topics from the bottom list of the weak areas. Otherwise, if you are a motivated candidate then, you start with the weakest topics and gradually move on to the topics which are stronger.

Step 6: Set A Timetable And Space

Allocate your 10-12 hours of the day to NDA preparations. Also, set a space for you to study and utilize this space only to study. Nothing else. This will automatically give you the feel to study whenever you sit in that space.

Step 7: Improve Your English And GK

Best way? One word – newspaper. Period.

Step 8: Give Yourself A Deadline

For every topic, you prepare, allocate a deadline for that topic and try to complete it within that deadline. Naturally, weakest topics should be given more time and the strongest topics should be given least time. Also, keep two weeks prior to the exam only for the purpose of revising.

Step 9: Get Sleep, Exercise, And Proper Diet

When you are not studying for 10-12 hours, utilize the rest of the time to play, exercise and do some physical activity. This will clear your mind and will help you study better. Also, get sleep of minimum of 6 hours daily.


Conclusion

Studying for the written exam requires a study plan, preparations, exercise and a lot of smart and hard work. Anyone can clear the written exam if they are determined enough and follow the above steps. All the best.
