How to Cover Backlog for NEET 2026?
To clear your backlog effectively for NEET 2026, focus on disciplined time management.

This balance ensures that you progressively clear your backlogs while keeping up with new material. Importantly, avoid letting backlog work interfere with your current studies—prioritizing ongoing topics in your class will keep you on track for NEET.
