The Great Balancing Act

Many students feel overwhelmed in Class 12. The secret is not to treat them as two separate worlds, but as complementary goals.

Overlap Strategy

Use your English board prep to improve your reading speed for CLAT and IPMAT. Use your Accountancy/Maths for the Quantitative sections.

Weekly Schedule

  • Weekdays: Focus 80% on boards (school work) and 20% on entrance prep (Daily GK + 1 Section).
  • Weekends: Dedicate to Full-Length Mocks and deep analysis.

Remember, your board percentage is important for some IIMs, but the entrance score is what gets you the seat. Maintain a 70:30 ratio throughout the year.
