NCERT ladder for beginners

EGClasses starts every learner with a precise NCERT ladder. The idea: finish quickly, annotate smartly, and tag every chapter to PYQs.

1) The ladder

Move class-wise but skip overlap. History and Geography stay linear; Polity jumps to Class 11/12 quickly. Annotate margins with GS keywords so later notes stay thin.

2) Note style

Use tables for dates/definitions, maps for places, and 3-line paragraph summaries. EGClasses recommends a two-pass method—first read for flow, second for underlining and margin tags.

3) PYQ tagging

Attach 2-3 PYQs to each NCERT chapter. This keeps you honest about depth and saves time when you shift to advanced material.

Revisions stay light because the NCERT ladder is treated like a Contentlayer front matter that feeds later modules. EGClasses repeats this ladder in every foundation cohort.
