How to READ!!!

You have 2 months so read according to following - 2 subjects per day. As most of the content, you have read for GPAT. Concentrate on basics and move fast but steady so that you can remember.

12 days for Pharmacology + Pharmaceutics
12 days for Chemistry* + Analysis + Microbiology
12 days for Pharmacognosy + Biochemistry + Jurisprudence
5 days for Extra things asked in NIPER
10-15 days for Revision

Chemistry* - It can be completed in 7 days if you read specific, not whole books. If you have exams in between try to cope up with that by adjusting days.
