Creating a Personalized Study Plan: CAT, CLAT, CUET, IPM

Success in entrance exams like CAT, CLAT, CUET, and IPM doesn’t come from hard work alone—it stems from smart planning and consistency. A personalized study plan helps you stay on track, balance subjects, and measure progress effectively.

In this blog, we explore how to create a customized study routine for each exam, include sample questions with solutions, and provide a model timetable to guide your preparation.


Why Personalization Matters

Every student has unique strengths, weaknesses, schedules, and goals. A one-size-fits-all approach rarely works. By creating your own study plan, you:

  • Focus on weak areas without ignoring strengths

  • Set realistic, achievable goals

  • Reduce stress and avoid burnout

  • Track and adjust your performance periodically


Step-by-Step Guide to Build Your Study Plan

1. Know Your Exam

Exam Key Sections Mode Duration
CAT Quant, Verbal, DILR Online 2 hrs
CLAT English, GK, Legal, Logical, Math Offline 2 hrs
CUET Language, Domain Subject, General Test Online Variable
IPM Quant, Verbal, Logical Online 2 hrs

2. Evaluate Your Schedule

Are you in school, college, or working full-time? Allocate realistic study hours based on your availability:

  • A high school student may manage 2–3 hours/day

  • A drop-year student can devote 6–8 hours/day


3. Weekly Study Timetable (Sample for Drop-Year Student)

Day Morning Midday Evening
Monday Verbal (RC + Vocab) Quant (Arithmetic) GK / Legal Reasoning
Tuesday DILR Practice Verbal Reasoning Current Affairs
Wednesday Domain Concepts Math (Algebra) Logical Reasoning
Thursday RC Practice Legal (CLAT/IPM) Quant Practice
Friday Full Mocks (Alternate Weeks) Review & Analysis Reading Hour
Saturday Sectional Tests Review Mistakes GK Capsule
Sunday CUET/IPM Revision Rest & Light Review Goal Setting

Tips for Maintaining Consistency

  • Break Big Goals Into Daily Tasks: Use planners or apps

  • Incorporate Revision Cycles: Weekly reviews of old topics

  • Use the Pomodoro Technique: 25 min focus + 5 min break

  • Avoid Multitasking: One subject per session

  • Analyze Weekly: Adjust what’s not working


Sample Questions with Solutions

A: Selling Price = 250 + 20% of 250 = 250 + 50 = Rs. 300


CLAT (Legal Reasoning)

Principle: Everyone has the right to self-defense.

A: No, X acted in self-defense.
