STUDY Trouble

See there ain't no magic potion buddy. You gotta grind hard to get to IIM Indore. I am trying to break down your question in several parts and answer each of them separately.How many hours should you study?

6–8 focused hours/day. Not more.

More hours = burnout, not rank.

Rule: Consistency > intensity

7 hrs daily for months beats 12 hrs for a week.

If you’re weak in Math (very common)

Your issue isn’t concepts — it’s starting anxiety.

Fix it with this simple rule:

Concept → Assisted → Independent

20–30 min: Learn formula + 1 example

40–60 min: Solve while seeing steps (copy if needed)

30 min: 5–8 easy questions, timer ON

Goal is starting, not solving everything.

Daily structure (burnout-safe)

Morning (2.5–3 hrs): Math / LR (weakest subject)

Afternoon (2–2.5 hrs): VARC / easy wins

Evening (1.5–2 hrs): Revision + error log

Avoid Math at night

Avoid random subject switching

Weekly non-negotiables

1 mock / sectional

2–3 hrs analysis

1 light/rest day

Mocks don’t improve scores. Analysis does.

Mindset that keeps you consistent

“I must solve questions”

"I must attempt calmly”

Track effort, not marks:

Did I attempt Math today?

Did I revise mistakes?

If yes → day successful
