A structured approach is what you need for preparing for Class 12 Biology, NEET, and KCET examinations. Below is a detailed road map to help cover all the topics necessary for scoring in both the tests.
1. Read the Syllabus
Class 12 Biology: Refer to the syllabus by NCERT because it's the base material for both the NEET and KCET exams.
NEET: National Eligibility cum Entrance Test has a well-defined syllabus which mostly overlaps with the NCERT syllabus.
KCET: The syllabus of the Karnataka Common Entrance Test is also based on the NCERT syllabus, but some extra topics might be there.
2. Gather Study Materials
Textbooks: NCERT textbooks for Biology of class 11 and 12. Reference Books:
Trueman's Biology Vol. 1 & 2
Dinesh Objective Biology
Pradeep's Objective Biology
NEET Guides:
MTG NCERT at your Fingertips
Arihant's NEET Guide
KCET Guides: – CET Biology (Karnataka CET)
MTG's Karnataka CET Explorer
3. Formulate a Study Plan

5. Practice and Revision
Daily Practice: Attempt around 50-100 MCQs from the topics you have prepared daily.
Weekly Assessments
Give tests on a chapter-wise basis and attempt full-length mocks on the weekends. Year Ago Question Papers:
Practice previous year's question papers on NEET and KCET. NCERT Exemplars:
