Time budget

• 3 hours per weekday × 5 = 15 hours
• 5 hours each weekend day × 2 = 10 hours
• About 25 hours a week, roughly 650 hours in total

Phases

Phase 1 (weeks 1–8): Foundations

• Diagnostic practice set
• Math, engineering economics, mechanics and strength of materials
• Thermodynamics fundamentals

Phase 2 (weeks 9–16): Subject depth

• Steam plants, IC engines, refrigeration and HVAC
• Heat transfer and fluid machinery
• Machine elements, materials and manufacturing

Phase 3 (weeks 17–22): Practice papers and remediation

• Single six-hour papers per subject
• Two full three-day sets
• Targeted work on any subject near 50%

Phase 4 (weeks 23–26): Refinement

• One full set under exam conditions
• Formula and table review
• A light final week

Daily problem-solving

Aim for 20–30 problems a day.
