Can you crack one of the most intensely competitive entrance exams in the country without spending lakhs of rupees on coaching? Absolutely. A host of online resources – lectures, practice tests, doubt-clearing tools – have made possible a DIY preparation plan for the notoriously competitive National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for admission to medicine.
As a profession, medicine is as popular as it is difficult to get into. Over 15 lakh candidates wrote the last round of NEET, conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) and the single entrance exam for MBBS and BDS admissions in the country. They competed for roughly 83,000 seats.
Considering how competitive the NEET UG is, preparation for it has spawned an industry of its own. Students spend lakhs of rupees, even move states for years to prepare for the test in hubs like Kota in Rajasthan.
Coaching alone costs between Rs 1 lakh and Rs 1.5 lakh per annum but it is also possible to do it for free and sitting at home. With careful planning and the right free resources, you have a decent shot at the NEET. Given below is a detailed list of the most reliable free resources available online. Each recommendation has already been carefully vetted for accuracy, clarity and general quality.
First, decide on a path. The ideal way to channelise preparation for NEET is through the following phases.
First, learn all you can about the exam itself. Knowing what’s in the NEET syllabus early will give you a headstart and this is publicly available. The NEET syllabus and NEET exam pattern are typically in the exam bulletin posted on the NTA official website, neet.nta.nic.in and on the website of the National Medical Commission (NMC), nmc.org.in/neet/neet-ug.
Framing a timetable needs planning. That, in turn, involves setting your target and assembling the right study material. Last-minute study won’t cut it and so, you need to organise the most suitable routine to complete the NEET syllabus on time. While the time-table must suit your specific needs, you can take the assistance of well-known institutes as well to get an overview of the syllabus and required effort.
To create a timetable, you can go to Careers360, register at learn.careers360.com for free which will take you to the study dashboard. Once there, set a time-table based on the exam date selected. You will need your login ID and password to make any adjustments to the timetable in the future.
It is necessary to devise a study strategy which should include decisions on whether to watch video lectures or study concept notes, the books to consult, and how to answer practice questions. If you choose video lectures, first determine which lectures are available. Before committing to a series, assess the lectures for depth, quality, language – they should help you understand concepts comfortably.

Because the syllabus for NEET is enormous and going over it multiple times is not possible, making personal notes is critical. Furthermore, pick NEET reference books that are reputed to be standard and error-free. You must practise questions after every chapter of the study material so, it would help to make sure the resources used for this are free of errors and provide a variety of questions that will boost confidence and help improve critical thinking skills.
The internet and even the local bookstores and libraries will offer a wide range of options for those studying for NEET. However, they are not all equally trustworthy nor all of good quality. Given below is a carefully-curated list of resources, organised by subject, that are free but of high quality.

Once you have covered the syllabus, practised many questions, it’s time to put your knowledge to the test. This can be accomplished in two ways: first, with chapter-by-chapter tests and then, full-fledged NEET mock-tests. The last is critical for getting used to the way the test will be conducted, simulating the exam atmosphere, and the level of difficulty of the exam. This will prepare students to face NEET in real life. This is also where you may encounter fresh subject-related doubts and discover weak points. There are several free resources available to help you analyse your performance.

This is often considered the last step and involves getting all your doubts clarified and revising two or three times. This is where you address the confusion you had while studying, the doubts that cropped up during writing a practice test and the silly mistakes and weak points you discovered when your mock-test result came. First, revise or study the part of the syllabus about which they have doubts. If another round of reading doesn’t fix the problem, seek help from an expert.
Getting your doubts clarified will not only boost your confidence but also widen your understanding of the subject. Revision also helps you master the vast NEET exam syllabus and allows you to solve questions quickly.
Doubtnut: This is the best resource for solving doubts as it gives you video solutions to your questions. Simply scan a question with the Doubtnut app, and you are likely to receive an answer in the form of a video solution.
