How to actually use your 60 days
Full coverage, one real revision cycle, and a weekly mock series — the standard serious-attempt window.
This 2-month plan gives you 60 days to work through 45 weighted ECAT (Engineering) topics across 3 subjects — roughly 0.75 new topics a day at 4–5 hours of focused study. That is a sustainable pace that leaves real room for revision instead of just first-time coverage.
ECAT (Engineering) marks are not spread evenly across subjects. Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry carry the heaviest weightage in recent papers, so this plan front-loads them — so they anchor the first pass and earn the most revision time later. Cover the entire ECAT (Engineering) syllabus once, then let weightage — led by Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry — decide what earns a second and third pass. Nothing is skipped, only deprioritised.
60 days is enough to cover all 45 ECAT (Engineering) topics once, revise them once more, and build a genuine mock-test habit on top. The risk is plateauing after the first pass. Block out the revision cycle in your calendar now, before mocks crowd it out.
What to prioritise & cut
Cover the entire ECAT (Engineering) syllabus once, then let weightage — led by Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry — decide what earns a second and third pass. Nothing is skipped, only deprioritised.
Mock tests & revision
Topic-wise ECAT (Engineering) tests while you learn, then weekly full-length mocks once the first pass is done. Track sectional timing, not just the total.
Weekly rhythm
Roughly the first 60% of the timeline on the first pass of the ECAT (Engineering) syllabus, the next 25% on weight-prioritised revision, the last 15% on full mocks and an error-log review.
