🩻 Choosing Radiology: A Thoughtful Decision
There has been a trend of selecting radiology by top rankers for years in Nepal. The craze of that trend and expectation of less risky job, no specific night duties, and good incentives drew me to specialize in Radiology. And yes, I am loving it.
How did you decide on this specialization, and did it influence your study strategy?
❀ At the very time I started to prepare for the MD/MS entrance exam, I was very highly motivated (somewhat crazy) to study Radiology. I had already decided I would not study any subject except radiology until my last exam that year. Consequently, I attended counselling at every institute (IOM, KU, BPKIHS, PAHS) just to quit. By tender effort, luckily I got to study Radiology at NAMS.
❀ Study strategy definitely changes and the routine remains harder if you aim high. You have to cover almost every important things, study harder, apply smart study technique and keep yourself always motivated.What was your daily study schedule , and how did you stay consistent?
❀ I studied total 7 months for the PG entrance exam (1 month for first exam of IOM and 7 months for last exam of NAMS). I studied about 13-14 hours a day at the last months of preparation. Continuous study and regular online mock exams helped me to stay consistent.How did you chose the right study resources for the exam? Could you share the
specific materials you found most helpful?
❀ Indian MCQ books by Sharad Chandra, Mudit Khanna and past MD/MS entrance questions of Nepal, and textbooks for few very frequently asked topics were my principal resources. I also tried First Aid , ROAMS and Across once but could not revise more than once and could not retain them.At the present time, what resources do you suggest for the PG aspirants preparing for CEE after about 2 months?
1. PG insight for CEE MD/MS: For overall coverage of important topics of all subjects
2. Past CEE entrance questions of Nepal (questions of last 4 years CEE)
3. MCQ books by Sharad Chandra, Mudit Khanna (only memorize question and right answer).What inspired you to publish PG Insight book?
❀ During my preparation time, I was really frustrated being unable to find a comprehensive and complete book for theory preparation which I could complete in short time. I tried First Aid, ROAMS and some topics from Across, studied. These are really nice books but I could not retain them effectively in my mind for more than 2-3 weeks. It took much more time in collecting the materials and preparing the notes which hampered my study time a lot. At the same time, I realized a need of comprehensive, well organized, well presented authentic book covering almost all important topics…and promised myself to bring such a book to help the PG aspirants in future, if I succeed in exam …that idea gave birth to a book named PG insight which took about 4-5 years of hard work to make it what it is today.Do you prefer coaching classes or self study? And Why?
❀ I prefer self study. I don’t prefer traditional way of teaching like giving lectures to the graduates. Rather, guidance about effective study strategies may become a great hep for aspirants.Importance of Mock tests?
❀ Online mock test was the reason that always motivated me and gave me courage to quit major subjects in different institutions despite getting higher ranks. Consistent top ranks in mock tests gave the confidence to wait till my dream came true. Mock tests also guide the areas of your weakness and strengths and suggest to further build yourself.Would you recommend quitting a job to focus solely on studying for the entrance exam, or balancing both work?
❀ Continuing your job and getting high ranks in such a competitive exam is very difficult. I prefer quitting the job and focus only on study at these last two months.
❀ If you are giving CEE exam in next year, I recommend to work hard and keep your study together for first 6 months and quit the job and focus only on study at the last 6 months before exam. There will be much more benefit compared to the 6 months salary if you get the subject of your choice in PG.Did you adopt any special strategies for preparation?
