Best Timetable for Droppers to Crack NEET 2025 (Revealed)!

Are you a dropper and want to ace in NEET 2025? If yes, then you have landed at the right place.

I was a dropper too and have searched the same as you but haven’t found the right match for my needs.

So, because of that, I made my very own strategy and have aced in NEET 2024.

I would also recommend you the same that take the timetable that I will give you in this blog post as a template and make your one.

Also, along with the timetable, I will give you some tips and tricks that I have tried and tested in my drop years that have helped me crack NEET.

So, without any ado let’s dive into it.

Why Timetable is Important for NEET Droppers?

So, is a timetable really necessary for NEET droppers? 

Yes, it is highly necessary as the cutoff of NEET is rising exponentially every year and the aspirants who know what they are going to do in their day will eventually get more marks.

Here are some other benefits of making a timetable for your NEET preparation.

1. Half your timetable up

This is one mistake I regret the most from my first drop year. It genuinely halted my selection in my first drop.

I was enrolled in some online coaching in my first drop. 

They are famous online coaching which makes a lot of emotional Youtube shorts.

Also, they tell their students that take only classes the whole day, complete the syllabus by March, and then just revise their notes which is more than enough for NEET. 

But it is not true if you don’t revise from the start and do not focus on NCERT then you will end up failing the NEET exam as I did in my first drop.

I have no problem with the teachers instead I have promoted their coaching too but the way the teachers are manipulating the children is wrong.

So, if you haven’t made notes in your previous NEET attempt for whatsoever reason and want to attend online classes then keep in mind one thing don’t only see lectures, complete your syllabus as fast as you can, and revise NCERT, do question practice along with the revision of notes right from the starting.

For that, you have to half up your timetable and allot time to self-study as well and if you don’t do that then it will surely lead to another of your failed NEET attempts.

For example, if you are seeing lectures for 5 hours then do at least 3 to 4 hours of self study too.

Also, don’t enjoy any unnecessary talks with your teacher instead skip it and complete your lectures and notes as soon as possible.

And if you have made notes in your previous attempt then there is no need to again watch video lectures and make notes.

2. Every Second of your Time is Precious

This was the line of my mama after my first failed NEET attempt.

He said, “Remember Nishant  you are 21 and this is your last attempt if you want to be a doctor then make every second of your time precious.”

And I made it clear in my mind that I had to do it no matter how hard it would be.

Now I am saying this to you if you really think of me as a big brother of yours then take this advice and put it in your head.

And to make every second of your drop year worth you have to make a good timetable.

3. Timetable helps you feel guilty

As a dropper, I can fully relate to you that after doing 2-3 hours of study we feel tired and want to take a break.

But the catch here is that this break gets extended infinitely if you don’t have a timetable right in front of your study table which would help you feel guilty and get over your break.

So, if you are a serious aspirant then do make a timetable and paste it right in front of your study desk.

4. Take a chill pill

I know making a timetable is hard but do you know what is hardest?

It is following your timetable because we make our timetable according to the topper and won’t make a timetable according to our capacity.

And that is the reason why we follow the timetable for hardly 3 to 4 days or hardly a week.

So, I would suggest to chill a bit and make a timetable according to your capacity.

Also, some aspirants like me who don’t like to follow strict timetables make a to-do list and it does wonders for them.

To make a to-do list roughly list the work that you want to do in a day and try to complete it.

Also, take breaks when you feel like burning out.

So, now let’s take a look at the timetable that I have made separately for both weekends and weekdays.

5 Crucial Tips for Droppers to Ace in NEET 2025

So, at the end here are some crucial tips that you should follow to get good marks in NEET 2025.

1. Don’t trust coaching teachers and owners blindly

This is the thing that I encountered recently after my NEET 2024 was over and I calculated my marks which came out to be 667 out of 720.

As a common NEET aspirant, I saw the expected rank vs marks video and there I saw a video of the top NEET coaching owner where he was saying that at 660 marks you will get a 10k rank.

To tell you the context at 666 marks last year it was 3500 approx rank.

Similarly, a lot of other coaching institutes started to tell their results that their 500, 700, and 900 students are getting 700+ marks in NEET.

In reality, these were those coachings that haven’t gotten results in the past and are bribing the toppers to get fake results.

Along with that, they were giving 90% to 100% discount to the students who were getting 600+ marks, planning for a drop and wanted to take admission in their institute.

Due to this, I got a lot of panic attacks and depression even after scoring good marks.

I know it is not 720 out of 720 but I know this is the best score that I could have got and it’s ok.

Also, according to the previous year’s analysis and rank inflation, I would be getting under 5k rank for sure even if a lot of inflation occurs this year.

So, all and all the motive of this point is that all the coaching institutes are there for money and you shouldn’t blindly trust any coaching institute material, notes, tests, etc instead search yourself the best suit for your needs.

For example, I had used a lot of test series for my NEET journey but the best and most relevant test series that I felt was the Aakash CST.

It gave me confidence and I thank this test series a lot for giving me confidence that I can also score 650+ in NEET.

2. Don’t ignore revision

As you can see I have given high emphasis on revision in this article because mark my words you can’t succeed in NEET without revision.

A lot of coaching tells you to start the revision after the course completion which is a total waste.

Watching a lot of lectures won’t help you the real help you would get in your NEET journey is from the revision, NCERT reading, etc.

Also, in my timetable, I have mentioned certain lecture slots that you would need if you are starting fresh but remember to remove them and add revision slots as soon as you get over with your lectures.

3. Don’t ignore tests

Tests are the basic thing that you need to ace in any competitive exam.

It would help you feel the exam pressure and would help you get used to it.

Also, not only giving tests is important choosing the right tests, giving them in offline mode, and analyzing them are also very important.

As I have told you I trust the Aakash test series and would recommend you the same.

However for the biology part and chemistry part somewhat I would highly recommend the high-yield test series of NeetPrep as it contains a chunk of A/R questions, match-up questions, etc which would help you for the tough situations too.

Also, not to forget that you should get an offline test series as NEET happens offline in OMR format, and revise each of your tests to get the maximum juice out of it.

4. Don’t burn out

NEET is a sprint, not a race!!

Remember drop year is one of the toughest phases for any aspirant and to ace in it you have to keep yourself away from burning out.

I know it is tough to not burn out in the drop year but at least you can try.

Whenever I felt burned out I took it off for a bit, talked to my family, and did whatever I wanted to do.

So, find the activity that would help you get out of your burned-out zone.

5. Don’t lose hope. MIRACLES HAPPEN!

I have seen a lot of students who were getting 670+ scores in their mock tests and they ended up getting 630 or 640 in the NEET exam.

Also, I have seen a lot of NEET aspirants who get 580, 590, and 600 and end up getting 650+ in NEET.

I am a living example of it as till the last month of my NEET preparation I was getting 540, 560, etc scores in my tests but I kept hope didn’t change my strategy, and boom I am expecting 667 marks in NEET.

So, giving mock tests is important, and analyzing it is important but taking your mock test scores to your mind is not necessary.

You will definitely get a 50 to 60 mark jump in your NEET exam if you keep your calm during your NEET preparation and on the actual NEET day.
