DAMS: Congratulations on securing a good ranks. What is the secret of your success in this exam?
Dr. Abhishek Suman: I won’t call it any secret. The strategy that I feel paid off for me was to keep my study material to a minimum (one source for one subject... be it a guide book or the institute notes)..and focusing on the pre and para-clinical subjects in depth.

DAMS: How did your parents, family and friends contribute to your success?
Dr. Abhishek Suman: I always had this one feeling about performing for my parents and friends and that always kept me exerting a little extra. Thanks to my family and friends for all the success that has come my way.

DAMS: Who influenced you to take up Medicine?

Dr. Abhishek Suman: thankfully I never experienced this negative feeling ever.

DAMS : Which books did you read for MCQ revision? Which revision books were the most productive and which were least?
Dr. Abhishek Suman: as I mentioned above I used the aa books mostly with across for some subjects...apart from that the various books providing last 5 year DNB questions were my best helps in the last month and they got me atleast 20-30 extra questions in the exam.

DAMS : How important you think was DAMS in your preparation ?
Dr. Abhishek Suman: the most impressive feature of DAMS programme was the simulation neet pattern tests….they were extremely helpful to me for giving me the confidence that I needed and the actual neet exam felt no different than the NLT tests of DAMS. The questions in NLT were apt to gauge my preperation.

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. Abhishek Suman: I had a pretty strong base of all subjects from my mbbs days so I went straight to the aa guidebooks for theory revision of mbbs days as well as mcqs…I choose to do intensive study for the pre and para clinical subjects and a comprehensive light study for the final year subjects..for short subjects I choose to do as many as possible previous year questions.

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. Abhishek Suman: I think one should appear for all the exams be it AIIMS, PGI or NEET. I have experienced that the theory base needed for all 3 are similar ..only slight modification in doing the last year questions of the specific exam is required..

DAMS: Which subjects did you focus on?
Dr. Abhishek Suman: anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, psm, obs and gynae, surgery, biochemistry.

DAMS: What was your strategy for the exam day? How many questions did you attempt and why?
