NEET PG Exam

How to Revise 19 Subjects Smartly for NEET PG Exam By Dr. Apurv Mehra 

As the NEET PG 2025 exam is near, the pressure of revising the 19 subjects is real, but with informed revision and smart work, you can do it well. If you think that, I have read all subjects but did not revise one. Where do I begin?” You are really not alone. 

Here are realistic strategies to tackle this mountain of a task energized by rhythm, strategy, and above all, the love of the NEET PG exam.

Where do I start if I haven’t revised anything yet?

If you’re just getting into revision mode and haven’t started any subject yet, it is suggested to start with Pathology or Pharmacology. Why?

Because you know second-prof subjects longer than any other. They come naturally to you. Pathology or Pharmacology serves as a gentle warm-up without overwhelming yourself.

An alternate choice could always be: Start with what you find interesting. 

Select whatever subject excites you first. Love gives you the strength to learn. Getting into the revision groove is more important than following any rigid order.

It Isn’t a Battle for Perfection—It’s a Game of Strategy

Steve Jobs said the only way to be good at something is to start loving what you do. If you don’t, you will fail at it.

The bare truth is you cannot love all subjects: 19 cannot be loved by a human —the gods do not write entrance exams; you do.

Your goal is to build momentum, not get stuck in the myth of “finishing” a subject. Just think of your revision as a saga journey of balance versus burnout. That is precisely what platforms like Cerebellum do when they draw revision schedules, balancing heavy and light subjects to ensure you are not excessively fatigued at some point.

A Sample Flow to Build Momentum
  1. This is a sample structure that can vary according to personal interest:
  • Start with Psychiatry– a small subject which you love.
  • Go to Pathology– reinforce the grip on a core medical subject. 
  • Then, get into Radiology-light, visual, and non-draining on the mind. 
  • Follow on with Pharmacology– cramming with the king himself, Dr. Govind Garg. 
  • Now moves to Physiology– medium weight, but good as a connector. 
  1. While doing your revision, pair up subjects:
  • Medicine, Micro, and Patho can go together.
  • Surgery, Ortho, ENT, Radiology– from the surgical stream.
  • Combine image-based subjects or those of similar clinical relevance. 
Two Golden Rules for Effective Revision
1. Revise Topic-Wise, Not Emotionally

No emotions, please. Many people say, I like this topic, so I will read more. Who are you? This is a game of entrance exams.

Lakhs of people miss it every year. 

In fact ask yourself: 

  • Has this topic appeared in the last five years?
  • Is it clinically significant? 
  • Is it aligned with current trends in medical exams?

This is a game of evidence, not feelings.

2. Keep a Fixed Time Per Subject And Stick to That

Each subject gets a fixed time slot for your timetable. Respect it. One subject time should never be given to another subject time. This discipline ensures that all 19 subjects are revised in time. 

An All India Rank 1 still might be possible, even if you are slightly above average across subjects. If you try to get perfection in one subject, you might not even be clear in that.

Key Takeaways  for NEET PG 2025 Preparation
  • Start with something you really enjoy or perhaps the second-prof subject.
  • Create the driving force-mix subjects of contrasting weight appropriately.
  • Organize subjects via streams to ensure better integration.
  • Revise topic-wise, using logic and trends in examinations, not emotions.
  • Adhere to the timetable. No extensions.
  • Don’t make perfection the target for single subjects; target consistency across all.
Conclusion:

NEET PG exam preparation is not really about genius but more about smart strategy, right balance, and consistency. For any exam , “You need to love it-then it will not be pressure to you. Whatever in life is love, is easy.”

So, fight that battle with love, rhythm, and clarity. Your preparation is not about just cracking an exam- it is about proving to yourself that you can achieve anything with the right attitude.

All the very best!
