Mastering Pediatrics for NEET-PG: A 4-Day Study Plan & 2-Day Revision Schedule
Pediatrics is a high-yield subject that typically features 7–8 questions in the NEET-PG exam. Despite its breadth, many questions recur from niche, high-impact topics—making a targeted study approach crucial. The following guide presents a 4-day study plan (with 8 hours and 250 MCQs per day) and a 2-day revision schedule, mirroring the style and structure of our original Pharmacology reference blog.
Why Pediatrics Demands Special Attention
- High-Yield Topics, Repeated Questions: With core areas such as neonatology, immunizations, and systemic disorders frequently appearing in exams, focusing on these can yield significant returns.
- Clinical Relevance: Solid pediatrics knowledge ensures safe patient care for children and instills confidence in handling pediatric presentations.
- Exam Weightage: Pediatrics questions can be decisive for your overall NEET-PG rank.
- Strategic Efficiency: Prioritizing essential subtopics (like developmental milestones, nutritional disorders, and systemic pathologies) helps you gain maximum traction in minimal time.
The 4-Day Study Plan
Each day focuses on specific, high-yield pediatric topics, integrating video sessions and practice exams to reinforce learning and retention.
