Introduction
Can a student from a small village with no access to coaching still crack CUET or ICAR AIEEA 2025?
YES – absolutely!
In fact, many toppers come from rural areas and prepare without expensive coaching or city resources. All they had was strong willpower, proper guidance, and smart planning.
As a soil science educator and agricultural coach, I’ve guided 1000+ students across Khargone, Barwani, Indore, and rural Madhya Pradesh, many of whom cleared ICAR and CUET with self-study only.
This blog is your complete step-by-step strategy to prepare for CUET/ICAR Agriculture Entrance Exam in 2025 – without any coaching, especially if you’re in a village or small town.
🎯 Step 1: Understand the Exam Format Clearly
📌 CUET (Agriculture-related domains):
Section I – Language (English/Hindi)
Section II – Covers your core subjects like Agriculture, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, which are crucial for domain-specific preparation.
Section III – General Test (optional for some universities)
📌 ICAR AIEEA 2025:
3 Sections: Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Agriculture or Maths
720 Marks, all MCQs
Conducted by NTA (like NEET)
👉 Start by downloading the official syllabus and previous year papers from nta.ac.in or icar.nta.nic.in
📚 Step 2: Create a Focused Study Routine for 3 to 6 Months of Preparation
If you’re starting now in May or June, you still have 6–8 months for revision and mock tests.
Sample 3-Hour Daily Routine:
1 Hour: NCERT + Agriculture Theory (rotate subjects)
1 Hour: Solve MCQs or Previous Year Questions
30 min: English/Hindi + General Knowledge
30 min: Video Revision / Notes
📌 Use simple tools like:
A4-size calendar
Colored pens for marking progress
A dedicated notebook for “mistake diary”
📘 Step 3: Focus on NCERT & Agriculture Basics First
You don’t need 10 reference books.
📘 Best Self-Study Books:
NCERT Biology + Chemistry (Class 11 & 12)
ICAR AIEEA Practice Book (Arihant or Agros)
Use agriculture-specific guides from trusted sources like Lakshya Academy or access simplified PDF notes if coaching isn’t available.
Lucent GK or Arihant for General Awareness (CUET)
🟢 Tip: Hindi Medium students – read bilingual books or YouTube summaries
📺 Step 4: Use Free Digital Resources Wisely
Even if you don’t live in a city, your mobile phone can become your teacher.
🔥 Best Free Study Tools:
YouTube Channels:
Lakshya Ag (agri concepts)
Study Smart Agriculture
Lakshya Academy Shorts (if created)
Apps/Websites:
Unacademy / Vedantu Free Sessions
Agri Exam App
NCERT Website (PDF books free)
Telegram/WhatsApp Groups:

📌 Warning: Avoid getting distracted. Set specific time slots for mobile use.
✍️ Step 5: Solve PYQs + Practice MCQs Weekly
Most students skip practice — that’s a mistake.
Solving Previous Year Questions (PYQs) is your shortcut to understanding exam trends.
How to Use PYQs:
Solve one full paper weekly
Time yourself (2–3 hours)
Review every wrong answer and add it to your mistake diary
📘 Buy a solved PYQ book or download from trusted education blogs.
🧠 Step 6: Make Revision Your Daily Habit
Studying long hours isn’t the key — consistent revision is what truly boosts retention and performance.
3-Step Revision Plan:
Daily: Revise what you learned today
Weekly: Revisit all 5–6 chapters from the week
Monthly: Full paper revision + mock test
✅ Use sticky notes, flashcards, or short voice recordings in your local language
🤝 Step 7: Ask for Help When You’re Stuck
Even if you don’t have coaching, you’re not alone.
You can:
Ask teachers in your local school
Join online mentorship communities
Follow trusted educators on YouTube or LinkedIn
Reach out to Lakshya Academy for study advice via WhatsApp or blog
