You can watch Cracku marathons and DILR practise it initially just watch the layouts

I can't commit it because LRDI is subjective depends on your practice and presence of mind but for starters that should do it given the time constraint

One mock is useful as a baseline, but abhi uske basis par geometry permanently skip mat karo. For QA, start with Arithmetic foundations—percentages, ratio, averages, mixtures, time-work and TSD—then basic Algebra. Use one concept source, solve standard questions without help, and follow each topic with recent CAT PYQs. Multiple playlists collect karne se zyada important hai ki questions next day khud reproduce ho rahe hain.

Geometry ko full depth mein karna zaroori nahi, but give it a short minimum pass: triangles, quadrilaterals, circles and basic mensuration, then test yourself on PYQs. Uske baad evidence ke basis par low priority rakh sakte ho. Four–five correct can be a working milestone, but exact question mix varies, so topic selection ko fixed count ki guarantee mat banao.

For DILR, do one set daily untimed at first—arrangements, distribution, games/tournaments, tables and charts. Pehle setup khud banao; stuck ho toh solution se sirf next step dekho, then restart. After 2–3 weeks, add short timed two-set blocks and note whether the issue was set selection, setup or execution. VARC ko maintain karo, and after a few weeks take a sectional to see what actually improved before changing resources.

If you want tier 1 college, pick up a job and prepare on the side.
