Kartik Chaudhary’s Kota Journey
Surrounded by the intense competitive atmosphere of Kota from an early age, Kartik navigated his preparation with clear strategies, strong peer support, and a disciplined approach to NCERT textbooks.
Whether you are preparing from home or living in a hostel, his journey offers practical lessons on mastering concepts, optimizing study hours, and maintaining a positive mindset for exam day.
One of the biggest dilemmas NEET aspirants face in Biology and Inorganic Chemistry is whether to memorize facts line by line or focus purely on understanding concepts. Kartik emphasizes that NCERT is non-negotiable, but forced rote memorization should never replace structured, repeated readings.
By reading the NCERT textbooks daily in the final months of preparation, key terms, diagrams, and theoretical concepts naturally lock into your long-term memory without unnecessary stress.
Furthermore, whenever you encounter a tricky question during mock tests, writing that concept directly on the top margin of your NCERT page ensures you review your weak points every time you revisit the chapter.

Physics is often viewed as the ultimate hurdle for medical aspirants, but Kartik approached it with a problem-solving mindset by leveraging his background in mathematics. For complex topics like Kinematics or the Work-Energy Theorem, he recommends trying to solve a single problem using two different conceptual methods.
Testing multiple approaches during practice helps you discover which shortcut saves the most time during the actual exam, while also deepening your fundamental understanding of the subject.
Recent NEET exam trends show a noticeable rise in graph-based questions across Physics and Physical Chemistry, making visual interpretation a vital skill. Practicing theoretical graphs thoroughly ensures you do not panic when encountering unexpected visual problems in the exam paper.
Additionally, avoiding sloppy calculations on the margins of your test paper by creating organized columns on the blank rough pages drastically reduces silly arithmetic errors and allows you to re-check your steps easily if time permits.

When preparing for Chemistry, students often focus solely on memorizing named reactions and final products, which can lead to mistakes if the exam presents a tweaked scenario.
Understanding the underlying reaction mechanisms in Organic Chemistry allows you to tackle high-level, application-based questions with confidence. Treating Inorganic Chemistry with the same daily reading priority as Biology will keep essential periodic trends and chemical properties fresh in your mind.
Kartik’s preparation routine proves that there is no single schedule that works for every topper, as success depends on finding hours when your focus is highest.
Identifying as a night owl, Kartik utilized quiet late-night hours from 9:30 PM to 4:30 AM for deep self-study after taking a refreshing power nap following his evening coaching classes.
He also balanced his study sessions by reviewing lecture notes quickly – spending only 20 to 30 minutes on a 90-minute class – so that the majority of his self-study time could be dedicated to active question practice.
Preparing alongside focused friends provides access to a powerful learning environment where post-test discussions can accelerate your progress. Discussing mistakes with peers right after a mock test exposes you to alternative problem-solving shortcuts and logical approaches before you take unresolved queries to your teachers.
It is also completely normal for marks to fluctuate when test difficulty spikes; spending the evening after an exam analyzing errors rather than forcing new topics helps you build resilience against test fatigue.
Approaching the exam hall with the right mindset can make a world of difference in your final percentile score. Trusting the months or years of consistent preparation you have put in allows you to handle high-pressure moments calmly.
Entering the examination center with the firm belief that your final NEET attempt will be your best performance yet turns anxiety into confidence on the big day.
