DAMS: Which books did you read for MCQ revision? Which revision books
were the most productive and which were least?
Dr. Hitesh Choudhary: 5 volumes for all subjects’ specific subject wise books for Biochem, Pharma, Micro, PSM & the short subjects are important. Doing subject wise books for Anatomy, Physio, Patho, ENT & the 4 subjects of final year are not so productive & should be done once you have completed the other things.

DAMS: How important you think was DAMS in your preparation?
Dr. Hitesh Choudhary: DAMS has been very important for my studies. I joined T & D batch & notes of these classes formed the base of my studies. The large no of topics are covered in these classes are the most important & gives you whole overview of what you have to study. Once you are through with these notes, it becomes very easy to complete the rest of the course.
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. Hitesh Choudhary: It should be a mixture of these. For the topics which are asked repeatedly in the exams it should be an intensive study knowing everything about it, but other topics, it should be a wide study so as to cover the maximum no of topics as it’s not possible to complete the whole course.

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. Hitesh Choudhary: It is good in a sense that gives an opportunity to the students that even if one day is bad for a student. He can do well in the other 2 or 3 but if there is only 1 exam everything depends on that particular day & if that is an off day for you, everything is gone.

DAMS: Which subjects did you focus on?
Dr. Hitesh Choudhary: Important subjects to focus on are Pharma, Patho, Micro, PSM & the 5 short subjects. The 3 1st yr subjects i.e. Anatomy, Physio, Biochem are mugging up so should be done at the end. FMT & ENT, Opthal are scoring subjects where if you read the basics you can get maximum questions correct in the exam.

DAMS: What was your strategy for the
exam day? How many questions did you attempt and why?
Dr. Hitesh Choudhary: In PGI, it’s very important to be aware of the time, as it has 1250 options where we have say True or False in 3 hrs, so speed is most important. It’s essential to read & mark all 250 ques in 3 hrs; otherwise questions will be left unanswered at the end. It is also important not to have any question to see attend & should mark it true & then only. I marked 550-600 options when I think is essential to get a good rank unless if you are marking 450 to 500 options & you are confident that most of these are correct.
