FAST and STEADY ( STUDY) wins the race —YOUR RACE FOR MDS PG entrance Preparation–part I

The title of this page  aptly chosen to  highlight for what is actually needed for Entrance preparation. It is a small  modification of the old proverb ‘ie  slow and steady wins the race’. In MDS PG entrance preparation you should be FAST as well as STUDY( STEADY) in your approach in preplanned strategy.

This is written keeping in view different entrances. If we have common entrance we guess that the paper will be in line with AIPG and the strategy changes accordingly

 The database analysis is the essence of interviewing many toppers about their viewpoint on the strategies that led them to success.

Dear  Aspirants

       First of all I would like to thank all the students who supported us for all this 15 years. Infact Iam very much annoyed by the comments made by some bloggers and inexperienced colleagues  on the internet on how to prepare for  entrances.  Our new aspirants are being carried away by the suggestions given by them which is not practical also. One of the friends suggested to read some 50 text books.  I can guess he might have never prepared for the entrance or might have not succeeded after many attempts still reading to complete this text books.   Dear friends first of all let me make clear what all you see on all these social sites and the discussions being carried is only less than 2% of the total number of candidates appearing for various entrances and the toppers on these sites are less than 0.2% of the total number of successful candidates.

     With vast experience and by scientific  methodology after interviewing with the many toppers and  who have lost despite of reading well.

     The group  included 100 toppers— 40 made through AIPG, 25 comed, 10  for mahe, 2for AIIMS and 2 for PGI, and rest the toppers for other state entrances. All of them succeeded in recent  3-4 years. Apart from this we have included those who have lost despite of their hard work

  By posting this I don’t mean to hurt my co bloggers and authors of various books including mine as I have also faced some critical remarks for my books also.

“Nothing succeeds like success”

After all, successful men are the role models today.

This  theme is made for you in association with many aspirants like you. It is meant to make your preparation effective, yet not harder. It is based upon the experience of many toppers who succeeded in various PG entrance examinations.  As you know a prerequiste for success in any PG entrance exam is:

“Right type of information at the right time”

First of all we discuss those are preparing for the First time

When to start preparation

First approach is the best approach. Every year some 25000 new aspirants are competing with you.  Remember this.

In the changed scenario at least 8 months of preparation is needed to face any entrance confidently

Happily enjoy first 2-4  months during your internship as we are of course human beings . This is the golden period of your life and also the platform where you have to start journey for your rest of life. I strongly suggest you to start for PG immediately after  2 months of internship starting.

Time lost can never be gained. Time and Tide wont stop for any body

As a teachers we have seen Internees wasting their time by reading news papers, novels , some chit chats in the Department. Instead of that utilize this time for reading any MCQ questions papers.

Internship is the turning pointing in the life of a dental surgeon. We strongly suggest you to shed off your inertia and fully  utilize  this  valuable and irrevocable golden  time .
