Q:   How to cover the whole INI CET syllabus in less time?
A: 

Candidates do need at least 3 months time to cover whole syllabus of INI CET as it is one of the toughtest exams in medical field. To compelte pre, para and clinical sections, candidates do need 2 months and one month should be kept aside for solving mock and question papers. Having said that, if candidate is super brilliant and already prepared topics of MBBS syllabus well during undergraduate days, he/she can crack the exam easy with less time.
