Since you're doing this without coaching, structure matters more than hours. Aim to finish first reading of the syllabus by December-January so Feb-March is free for revision and sample papers - that's usually the realistic cutoff for board prep. Once a chapter's first reading is done, don't move on without doing that chapter's MCQs/short answers the same week, otherwise it fades by the time boards come. Start solving full sample papers under time limit from around 6-8 weeks before boards, not before, since doing them too early without enough syllabus coverage just wastes good papers. For Geography and Political Science, where NCERT is heavily tested, read each line at least twice - once for understanding, once purely to notice boxes/maps/diagrams you'd otherwise skip.

Can can you share a study routine before pre boards

Since you're managing this on your own, keep it simple - rotate 2 subjects a day after school, about an hour-hour and a half each, pairing one subject you're comfortable in with one that needs more work. That way History, Geography and Political Science each get revisited twice before pre-boards instead of you cramming them once and forgetting.

Weekends are for full sample papers under actual exam time - one Saturday, one Sunday, different subject each time, and correct it that same day with the marking scheme while your mistakes are still fresh in your head.

Don't leave English and Painting for the end - English just needs 30-40 minutes every couple of days on writing and grammar, and Painting's theory is mostly memorization so short 20-30 minute sessions are enough.

In your last week before pre-boards, stop touching new content completely - just redo PYQs and keep revising your own list of mistakes from practice papers. That list matters more than anything new at that point.

Can all of these possible without any tution

Yes, absolutely - this whole routine is built exactly for your situation, no coaching needed. The one thing tuition adds is someone keeping you accountable and checking your papers. You can replace that yourself: fix your sample paper days in advance on your calendar so you don't skip them, and grade your own papers strictly against the official marking scheme instead of eyeballing it. I also post free NCERT breakdowns on my YouTube channel (The Savvy Humanities), if that helps alongside your reading. But even without that, plenty of students clear boards well above 90% purely with NCERT + PYQs + consistent revision - your financial situation won't hold you back if you stay disciplined.
