Sutrasthana: highest-yield Charaka zone
The 30 Sutrasthana chapters carry foundational Tridosha, Trayopastambha, Ashtavidha Pariksha related framing, and dietetics recall. Public coaching analyses often flag chapters like Deerghamjivitiya and Naveganadharaniya as repeatedly tested — drill 15–20 MCQs per chapter after decoding.
- Prioritise counts, attributions, definitions, and food-classification recall in later Sutra chapters.
- Use Prashnavali sessions to learn how examiners twist classic lines.
- Recite shlokas that act as anchors under CBT time pressure.
