exam must be really challenging. During your preparation, did you ever doubt
your ability to succeed in it?
Dr Daksh Mahajan: No, I just kept faith in me
and kept on moving in the direction that DAMS showed.
DAMS: Which books did you read for the theory part?
Dr Daksh Mahajan: No theory books……….just DAMS
CLASS NOTES.
DAMS : Which books did you read for MCQ revision? Which revision books
were the most productive and which were least?
Dr Daksh Mahajan: frankly telling, I didn’t
read any MCQ book in particular…..just did few papers of past AIIMS and
AIPGE…….while revising I just kept my focus on class notes and DAMS Exclusive
Club on fb.
DAMS : How important you think was DAMS in your preparation ?
Dr Daksh Mahajan: Apart from my family and
God……..major chunk of my success is devoted to DAMS family. I just relied on
DAMS notes for preparation and it paid off very well. Apart from that DAMS
Exclusive Club on fb and NLTs proved to be very beneficial at the eleventh hour
of preparation. Without DAMS it would not have been possible.
DAMS: What do you think is the better way of preparation between
selective, intensive study and wide, extensive study? What did you choose as
your style of studying?
Dr Daksh Mahajan: I just studied in my limits.
Didn’t go for wide study. Just kept my focus on class notes and tests.
DAMS: Indian PG entrances are highly competitive so to compete them
students end up in appearing in multiple PG exams , kindly extend your views on
this and also their pros and cons of appearing in multiple PG entrances .
Dr Daksh Mahajan: Personally I feel that NEET
should be validated. I believe in one India, one exam.

Dr Daksh Mahajan: There was no special focus
on any subject. Just went with planning.
DAMS: What was your strategy for the exam day? How many questions did
you attempt and why?
Dr Daksh Mahajan: I was quite relaxed on THE
day, especially because of DAMS NLTs that I gave. I attempted all questions as
Dr. Sumer Sethi advised us.
DAMS: What do you want to specialize in, why and where?
Dr Daksh Mahajan: I dreamt of G. Surgery in my
hometown (Amritsar). And I’m quite sure of getting it at my rank.
DAMS: Which teachers in DAMS influenced you most and what do you like
about DAMS and would recommend to your juniors?
Dr Daksh Mahajan: All teachers were just
awesome. They were all very cooperative and understanding. But my hats off to
Dr. Sumer Sethi for the inspiring words that he delivers that boosts off the
confidence in students. I’m a die hard fan of his pre-lecture inspiring talks.
Thanks a lot ‘DAMS Family’.
I would surely recommend DAMS to juniors as it
made my career.
EXPERIENCE WITH DAMS AMRITSAR:
This was the first batch at Amritsar and I was so thankful to
God that it came in my hometown just when I required. We were provided with all
the top Faculty members here and the moderators were too very friendly. All in
all, it was an awesome experience and my success is devoted to DAMS Family.
Thanks a lot.
