0:00 [Music] hi dear friends today we will discuss in detail the approach to meet PG 2019 we need to know the essentials for this exam first of all this exam is made up of three real questions it is a single day exam based on a computer-based test with 1 by 4 negative marking and most likely the exam will be in the first week of January 2019 so we have at our disposal around 4 months so these 4 months now are very crucial and we will
0:47 discuss in detail how to prepare for this how to attempt the exam is entirely different story which will covered in subsequent videos and how we approach individual subjects based on the repeat questions and the repeat topics will be discussed in subject wise approach to need PG on the basis of need PD 2018 exam first of all if you're targeting NEET 2019 the first thing you need whether you're an intern on a posting done whether it's your first attempt or it's your second attempt or your third attempt most important thing is your confidence level and a belief in
1:32 yourself that yes you can do it so in this video first my purpose will be to instill in you a sense of confidence a sense of belief that yes you can you can do it and for that this is one of my favourite movies if you remember the movie catch me if you can and this dialogue from that famous movie the story of two mice has been quoted here where two little mice once fell in a bucket of cream the first Mouse quickly gave up and round the second Mouse wouldn't quit so he struggled and he struggled he struggled so hard that he eventually turned the cream into butter and then finally crawled out of it so in this movie father will always
2:21 ask his son which mouse you are so this is my question to you are you the second Mouse who will struggle and give it a fight to win over this example because if you won't give a fight you will drown like the first mouse many students over years who have met me but talk to me they generally tell me that their internship is very hectic so it is not feasible to prepare while you are doing your internship while you are doing your daily duties your night duties your calls so even do you think it is realistic that I should aim for the upcoming need exam this may be a genuine question you may have in your mind that okay should I Denny target or focus on
3:06 getting through this neat example why not sit down and prepare for last for next one year take it lightly and do your internship and then one year you can sit down and without post internship you can prepare for the exam a fair strategy but in this fair secondly one thing I would like to add there you consider that this is not feasible to get through with an internship then it that is totally wrong and if you're not working to get it then you are underperforming howsoever less time you may have your intent is the most important thing so that's why my answer to that question which most students come and ask me is it possible to crack me PG with a hectic
3:54 intention the answer to this is not yes the answer to this is not know the answer to this is what you have to choose for yourself and for that I would say this female code from the Bowie Man of Steel the only way to know how strong you are the only way to know how high you can fly is to test your limits so it is for you to take a poll and test yourself and if you take a call and test yourself you realize you are always stronger than what you actually believe you are this is the basic dynamics of success for succeeding in any phase of life maybe it's personal it's professional you need to be
4:40 desperate and this desperation gives you the passion the passion to achieve this is not for need this is not for aims is for any end to this exam anything you want to achieve desperately in your life this gives you a sense of passion a passion which will help you conquer your fear of failure and in turn will get you the result so even if you think that you can fail your passion has to be so much your desperation has to be so high that you overcome your fear of failure and move towards your success so this is a simple way to present your desperation where is exactly to push into your
5:25 passion which will inversely led to your fear of failure and finally regulated to the result or the outcome you will I would have in anything and everything your attempt or think of achieving in your life so now coming to the drugs how to approach how to prepare for me PG 2019 which is in four months so these are the four phases I want everyone who is watching this video will perhaps go through the first phase is this phase where you might be thinking that how feasible it is can I do it there's a question mark
6:10 perhaps I will give you a strategy and you start thinking then you start thinking if I start applying and there will be a stage that the process starts clicking and this is the final stage when you feel your strategy is right so I hope by the end of this video each one of you will be able to cross 2 stage 1 to stage 4 and we'll see to that the first and the most important thing to achieve anything in life is planning but what today guys i will teach you is micro planning if you take big targets you need to be focused on
6:58 small goals big targets but small goals and you have to make sure that you win each hundred meters to win a marathon and how to do it that's why first thing plan the next day the night before so if even if let us see you start your preparation today I'll may be addressing someone who has not even thought about giving need PD 2019 in January he may start today the first thing what we'll do today is tonight you'll think and plan for only the next day don't plan for months don't plan for years you'll always feel bad for the next day and
7:45 make sure you plan for each and every our in that next day this is called as micro planning the most essential thing in micro planning is you initiate it with so let us suppose you made a very loud plan maybe a 10-page planned for tomorrow right now everything and each and every dividing and you have prepared a disparate kind of timetable people do that like from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. I will do this from 11:30 to 12 I will do this from 12 to 13 I will do this fine but the first thing where you will fail is if you wake up late in the morning you have already initiated in a wrong track so that is very important to start the initiation of anything any
8:33 process has to be right so what I do listen is people that half the battle of the day is one if you wake up early and start your day most people think a lot get tired sleep excessively and generally it happens when you are stressed out you so over sleep sleep excessively have an adequate good sleep but start your day on time because starting your day on time will help you follow your daily schedule and the plan you have prepared stick to that plan today we will discuss a concept with a very important concept of what is called the concept of interstice I don't know how many of you are ready familiar with this
9:20 term called as interstice now this term is used to denote the in tower or time period between the end of one project on activity and the start of the other in everyday life we get many inter sizes I will give you an example like just giving an example like if you are going for a coaching okay now going for a coaching you went you attended the class you are coming back now there's an interstice the moment you reach leave your coaching Center and you reach home and finally when you start studying so there is an interstice this
10:07 interstice may be as short as 30 minutes maybe two hours now it is very important how you use this interstice now the difference between people who do exceptionally well in life is the utilization of this interstice there are very very small inter sizes which you have to capitalize on this time like if your student was studying in Delhi you travel the Metro if you're smart enough you can use while you are going back in the Metro in 30 minutes you can revise a lot of images you may have saved previously you may revise already what has been taught to you you may recite something you generally
10:53 forget to your friends which will substantiate your memory we will plan what exactly will do after you go home so there are various ways of using and interstice the problem is people don't value that inter sighs the value today it's already 9 o'clock post coaching so I am tired so I have an only to us after going home to study or maybe three hours time for that towards and three hours they are always available to everyone but if you want to get an edge above others it is a use of the dentist eyes a vacuum period between two activities which you have to find and this concept if you are care then you can use this concept while you
11:40 are on duty while you are attending your internship your internship also you will get many inter sizes in a day before while you're going for your posting in between your posting finishing one patient shifting on to the other patient finishing one task to the other one tasks each in disguise you can fit in one or more activities or wonderful things you need to revise now this is very very important because I am particularly addressing those people who believe that with internship it is difficult to clear interest I agree it is difficult that's why it's fun if it was not difficult nothing would have been fun to achieve it was so easy then what is the fun in that
12:25 so that's why here comes your micro planning you don't have to focus on how many are you study in a day you have to focus on saving the time you waste because this is involuntary waste of time in those interstices and sometimes those interstices they become too prolonged that you even lose touch other time so that is very very important now this is a difficult habit to practice it is very difficult believe me but if you start developing a habit of using the interstices in your life you will become far more efficient than most people you ever meet in your life and this will improve your efficiency in your work in your studies and even your personal life if you know
13:12 that this is that interstice which can get managed next thing is you take one day at a time you live each day you know there's a famous saying where thomas edward is near someone came and dr. Thomas Alva Edison that okay you've discovered so many things how did this possible how does it happen to you I know he amusingly replied that when I comb my hair I only think of my hair now that is the crux you have to give 100% to anything and everything you are doing let us suppose your study but at the same time you are distracted your mind
13:58 is not there you are thinking either that you will feel will not be able to get your rank you are thinking because probably your relationship is not going well if you are thinking that probably I should read some other book then you are missing out on actually the tasks you are doing so that is what Thomas Alva Edison meant when he said when I comb my hair I think only of my hair so that is called as devotion that is called as focus whatever you study maybes for a small duration or a long duration you have to give you a hundred person focus at that time and you don't plan for months not even if you are ok worried that in four months you won't be able to finish the syllabus doesn't matter your
14:46 flavors will never finish before the exam your focus has to be only one I have to focus to achieve my micro target as said for the day that's all if you take care of the pennies the pounds will take care of themselves so you focus on each cent each set which is gonna make you Donna that is some crux so that's why you take one day at a time that will help you to decrease your stress level because if you are continuously worrying that your syllabus won't finish you are following man you are following mine then your efficiency every day falls forget to everything every day is a new day so if you take one day at a time next thing is always study topics with
15:35 the stopwatch on now this is very very important most people think this is not realistic or it gets boring but actually when you are studying usually lose track of time most of time we are wasting more than what is required on a particular topic waste more time on individual pages and it is required so using a stopwatch will always help you keep a check that is ample you are reading one page of pathology book maybe an M student let us say idly for me it should not take more than 10 minutes but you're spending 20 minutes on that and strong probably it was not treated you could have finished
16:20 one more page so that is I how you have to focus focus on your stopwatch keep a check that guess whether I am spending too much time or individual topics for that you will get a feedback from the stopwatch itself and that in turn will save your time in long term initially all the things I'm telling you are difficult to apply but once you get a hinge of all these things and they become a part of you then you start saving a lot of time you start getting ahead of most people and these things need to be inculcated in your personality to become really successful in life as I've already taught you
17:08 manage your hospital duty as better another thing you can focus today most of the exams have practical approach based questions on procedures on instruments on IV catalyst on eg tubes most of us have it positioned one of the Department during our internship that is the time to clear your practical doubts don't consider your internship a total waste of your time I know we have passed that stage so you may burden with paperwork agreed but out of that you have to find what can help you your internship is not waste it is only waste if you make it so you can use that to improve your
17:55 practical aspect to our you can ask your seniors how to handle real-life situations like most people attend extra classes for ECGs which I'd feel if you work in medicine credibility you see so many patients who come to them and you will see the real-life situations try to inculcate those things because those things are the things your concepts which will help you in the final exam and they will help you solve only if you have an intent why I am Telling You each and every of this point each one of you may be already aware of this that this should be done but actually most of us hardly will apply this in our practical lives next thing is image collection now
18:43 these days whether its aims exam we're just need exam there's a huge human cry about image based questions like people's only come and ask me should I buy a new book thousands of images on Google what should I do should I do image see image for everything and how do I remember all these images I agreed a lot of stress but first of all this requires discipline for most of things you ever read in your life you see on your internship you can take images agree to that you will get a lot of images from your coaching Institute also or from your books also if you have books for and mayonnaise questions but what my point is at the end of their preparation
19:29 how you revise that the problem is people keep on collecting images all of us are found of collection right but what we don't have is the art of collection so how do we learn the art of collection the art of collection comes from stratification comes from discipline so for that I have taken example if you can see this image now this is an image I have taken from my ad a screenshot from my phone I am a neurosurgeon so still did I apply this so during my residency I learned some things on duty
20:15 I used to some senior taught me some image came on whatsapp and all that what I used to do is I have classified as you can see here I have classified my neurosurgery into Westbrook pediatric neurosurgery neuro-oncology some edited images and spine Hindman so I have divided my you know surgery here so that Vantage is any image I click first of all and label that image and I label that image and shift it to this folder which is designated to a particular region of neurosurgery which is vascular or onco or spine or pediatric neurosurgery so this is an example of micro planning because any
21:01 day let us suppose I want to revise any Honka logical emergency any brain tumor I'll go to my uncle G folder open and search it will not even take a fraction of a second but if you keep all these photos you keep on collecting it but you have not organize them into proper folders and you're not labeled if you have to revise again some tumors which are in particular regions of the brain how do I go about it I will have to scan through hundreds of images to reset and that will base time and over time you will feel so tired to find those images that you will give it up so at the end of your preparation for meat or aims or PGI you may have thousands of images
21:48 from various sources but what if you can never revise them because this happens and this comes from your disorganization the disorganization so the organization and stratification at very basic minimum levels it will take you a few seconds to label that image on the same moment you clicked it and that will help you revise it in the end if you are not honest then you will all your hard work all your collection so that's why I took this image from my own phone to show you that this strategy not only works for your entrance it works for your life you're planning your micro planning works for your night so that's why till date I also stratify all
22:36 the images which are relevant to me in my phone so that's I you use your smart phone smartly last and foremost of micro planning you summarize all you have read in the day before you go to sleep that is very important because here comes the role of long-term potentiation of your memory like most people whom I met in life they have generally comment in that I have a wonderful memory so how do you have a wonderful memory it is not just because you are born great it just because you do some things which other dope people don't that is called as submission the memory works on a basic
23:21 principle of submission you have to submit the thoughts at fixed intervals of time you may have read multiple topics in a day but you have to submit spend half an hour before you sleep for revising all you have read I've seen Italy will you glass room but all you forget at least that portion has to be revised people think that is wasting time and losing time I should read something you know most important thing is whatever you read should be required and if you don't recall it you will never be a doctor manual and it's your long-term memory which helps you in the exam it is not your short-term memory
24:07 because short-term and is totally blown off because you're in such state of panic during exam that you hardly remember anything but things which would be along the bumpy can be useful do you get it so that's why I would like to summarize the approach for micro planning first plan your next day tonight you wake up early use your daily interstices take one day at a time give 100% focus to each task you are doing whether its own poaching when it's a practical work on your internship or your self study all of your groups training all these study topics with a stopwatch or use your duty
24:54 after the whole consider you are internship a total means keep your image based questions connected well organized and so that you can revise them in the end and before you sleep in the night first thing is revise what you have read and then plan for the next day that is how every day cycle will be followed by the next day's cycle and if you follow this simple cycle without panicking what will be the end result the end result is found to be better than what you would have done with panicking now I'll go selectively now selective strategy now this I made addressing a group of people who are interns or post interns I will be
25:41 dividing this approach to meet PG into two categories first those people who have read their slippers ones who have finished their preparation at least once for need PG and then I will be dressing those people who have not finished their preparation even once for need PG how to go about it so I put a cartoon here but this cartoon has significance the conventional process to your goal is step by step but what I believe is we get smarter than this we can do better
26:27 so why not take a letter and directly go to the top for this I like to discuss strategy first for the people who have not finished this Labor's funds whether they are interns or whether they are portion does who have not finished it once because I'm confident this lot would definitely think that it is not possible to crack meat PG mm I do so for these people I would suggest you should have only an only topic based approach your attempt and attention should not be to finish the entire subject that is totally wrong approach for you with four months at
27:13 your disposal you should focus only and only on important topics otherwise you will not be able to appear for your exam and you will not be able to share through the reason for that is the time at your disposal is less and we have to give respect and importance to all 19 subjects so the easiest and the shortest trajectory to that is your topic base approach now this topics we have mentioned already already our app met miracle app so you can access those topics from that apart from that I am NOT saying you follow hard fast the topics we have given I have just tell you the list of topics how I have prepared so you can prepare that list for yourself you don't just don't need
27:59 to because the list is actually based on common topics which are frequently asked you need to understand basic thing that exam is not about repeats it is not about repeats today no exam whether its aims exam whether it is need exam it is not a repeat example the questions are generally not repeated but the only significance of doing repeats is to understand that what are the commonly asked topics and generally a fresh question only will come from those topics so that's why I say the topics remain the same the questions are fresh so if you are not it you don't have such a list like
28:45 we have on red miracle you can make it for yourself the easiest ways you open last 5-year questions of need okay go subject ones let's start with an ad so you first solve let us say 10 to 12 in each exam of meat for last five years so around if you have 12 questions in each example you're roughly 60 questions and these 60 questions you will arise would more or less would have come only from 20 or 30 topics like nerve supply no muscle perineum embryology embryological derivatives random it is a brain Killa so topics remain the same so for 60 questions you may will have around 20 to 15 or topics for last five
29:30 five years of nudism same is for Ames exam mpj example so this is very important then you make a list of those things for yourself and that's why you can improve a lot you can save a lot of time so that is called as pattern recognition for various exam and this can be applied for neat aims and PG then we do a topic why study we don't intend to finish a subject we just intend to finish the important topics in that subject and for that you can even integrate one subject with another let us say if we go for a particular like
30:15 inborn errors of metabolism like that topic is covered in biochemistry it is covered in a portion is covered in the diet which is also so you can do it together for systemic pathology systemic medicine can be done together so if you are starting a unit of let us say nephron you can do renal physio you can do renal pathology finish RCC films finish Wilms tumor go to net flow medicine and then do an fo pharmacology and integral management and do the relevant biologicals so that is how you go for a topic based integrated approach but you have to be selective and that selection comes on pattern recognition of
31:00 individual exams which is nothing you know ik just an understanding of what frequently is asked I am again repeating it is not important not important to cram your repeats but it is very important to keep in mind what needs to be read next is image based questions I have already suggested that you should make a collection of your own from various sources from your coaching Institute's or from your books or from the internet and keep it organized so that you can wise and attend now with four must just left most people come and ask me how many grand guests do I really need to give in one month now that is a totally bizarre question which I don't really understand
31:46 now if you even give 10 or 15 grand tests in four months that is not going to improve your rank I can give you in writing grant - is just to piss me off for the exam just to timer them there is a group of people who are very passionate about giving that I am NOT against giving Grandes but if you are too passionate about giving a grand test you may actually waste a lot of time trying to improve our grain test which is actually may not reflect the - paper you are going to face it is important and some people take the results of grad tests to be a possible reflection of their rank that is also not true that if
32:32 you get a let us say 500 rank in a grand - doesn't mean you get a 500 right in your actual exam also you may get a rank one now this grand test is only to pace you prepare you to face a computer-based test prepare you to face the examination help you get accustomed to the portfolio the images the types of presentations that you see in the exam that solid so what I would suggest in last four months one grand test a month is sufficient please don't take it to heart and don't be overconfident don't be depressed this is for the both set of people there may be a third set of people who really
33:17 don't believe in that does that is like me for them it's fine but there have set of people who are too passionate to score and get a top ranking dentist thinking that this is evaluation and then they waste too much time just correcting and mistakes this scene Brandis rather than revising what they've already read because in every grandes you have let us say 20 questions which you have no clue of but revising what you already read is more important than acquiring new knowledge and there's a group of people who get disheartened because they are not performing well in the grand test so addressing both the corners of extremity I would say grand test is to for your piece it is not for your evaluation so don't get disheartened and don't really overconfident just revise what you have
34:04 read if you have so much time to waste next thing is your role of social media now if you follow one group of your choice it is good but now this social media is like you know a virus it spreads so people go from one group to the other group to the third group the fourth group what I would suggest is just follow one or two group if you really like it even if you don't follow good and people and your peers around you come up with new questions and interesting findings from various Facebook portals or whatsapp groups it's too much a waste of time because if you have a constraint of four months if you don't realize the bridge six levers and every four hours or every three hours
34:50 you check an update on Facebook any whatsapp group and what happens is that on Denis on these groups people discussed controversial questions and controversy is one thing which is hardly solved because people solve it but actually don't know the examiner who said that controversy what he wants so for controversial question I think so do not spend too much time solving that controversy and proving other people wrong and proving yourself right it is better to accept one answer for yourself and currently the trend of repeat question is going very low so even if you get a question it may not be a controversial question so you're spending so hard on solving a repeat controversial question which may mean not coming exam so you have to be
35:37 sensible you don't need to waste too much time on these social medias Nexus which subject should be done first and is there the subject which we should leave now that is the kind of question we Delia get from people sir could sure get us there at least for need no the answer is no you cannot leave any subject I think so all 19 subjects have some significance definitely if you asked me in last four months which subjects I should start first my first choice will be the subject which you know the least followed by the subjects which carry the maximum bulk in the exam if you feel your read all subject once and okay you are confident then perhaps go for the
36:23 bird subjects and then you go for the short subjects but if you have no clue about a subject you have never read it well then let that think so that should be done first followed by again the same protocol you do the bulky subjects first you do PSM first you do medicine first you do pathology because because there are four or five big subjects which contributed nearly half of your exam so 50% of your exam is going to come for that and then you focus on subjects which will get you Iraq which are short subjects now this was a question which I was asked to years ago from a child from boob nifer he came to me asked me sir I am preparing for a neat exam should I had any give a names exam or PGA now the answer is yes so whether you
37:09 are prepared or not you should give an exam because sometimes you will get new fresh questions in Ames and PGA which may be repeated in need so this can be an incentive for you another incentive which people don't consider is that you may clear aims for the matter of fact and you may not able you may not have to give need also so don't be so disappointed that I am not prepared for Ames so I should not give him I am not prepared for PJ so I should not get PJ actually the basic preparation remains for any exam the same and it is a concepts which matter only have to tailor your approach there are more one-liners we need the less one-liners in games they're more image based questions he names less than me but every day you
37:57 get a mixed bath so I think so you should give an example even if you are preparing for need you should give an ins exam now there is a group of people who really believe in group study and the group of people really believe in self study now this is more of an individualized approach people who feel confident and comfortable studying alone should study alone now I personally advocate group study for things which require rote learning like forensic microbiology which you tend to forget because unless until you decide it to someone you don't remember so especially for things which are hard to remember that should be done in group study now
38:42 we will discuss the strategy for people who have already finished their syllabus at least once and they want to give this year's neat exam now my suggestion to you is first of all you revise what you have already read don't you for anything you first of all your notes maybe your mcq books maybe some people would have read maybe handmade notes some coaching notes everything is fine what matters is revision now this group is ahead of those obviously which have not done their slippers pants but you should not be overconfident for you the crux is revision and revision and revision so next four months you
39:31 should revise your slippers at least at least three times so for most people I would suggest a 60 day schedule of first revision for by 45 days for by 15 days would be an ideal strategy to finish and revise your syllabus three times over energy again if you feel you have a subject which you are weak on then definitely you will have to revise that subject first but again revising core subjects bulky subjects first followed by short subjects which are more volatile is always beneficial most important don't be overconfident because overconfidence is more lethal than your
40:18 depression okay so don't be overconfident stay focused for you people do give aims in p/j exam because the aims exam is done in November and PGI is also around November or early December that Wantage is that first and foremost which I always say you may clear aims and you will never have to give it need PT like I did second you will get a real life to evaluation of actually where you stand that is very important even if your target is okay you've decided I don't want to vote away in the don't want to go to PGI my target is only meat agreed but still you should give a neat aims exam because rather than your grand test that aims will tell
41:04 you okay this is where you stand though the preparation for need is slightly different I agree it may not be the exact reflection of the rags you will get in need so perm people may get a good rack in need may not get royalty names people who had a key name look at I can need agreed but this will actually give you a real type scenario of giving an example the stress of an exam the stress of failing and a joy of performing either way as I've already pointed out do not read anything new revised revised and device as many times as possible that is the key for people who have already finished their syllabus ones who are either interns or
41:51 throw students and don't be overconfident so in the end now why I put this picture is today's back I got a email from a student who is from Kerala and he had put me a query or a porter about the current situation now now this I would like to address those Google people especially whose family are in there in Kerala which has been struck by a flood and God knows how many's would have lost their home they lost lot of support infrastructure for their families and that child came up to me and told me sir I am from Kerala and preparing in Delhi but my family's in careless and they are
42:39 in a very bad shape because of the floods so I am depressed and I'm unable to prepare so I was really touched by that and so this is for those people maybe sitting in Delhi in any other part of the country who are facing situations which are not under their control but still what I would like to say is do not let your misfortune control your destiny some things you cannot control but what you cannot control here is your performance your depression will not lead you out of your depression the only
43:25 thing which can get you out of your depression only thing which can give you happiness and happiness to your family it seems perform if you are successful so those people who are struggling all their families are struggling but I would suggest in this time that you should not give up hope you should not lose focus and should not consider yourself at a disadvantage because this is a very famous quote very very famous quote from a movie called as the secret which says you may be facing one of the toughest times of your life at this moment but what is to follow could be the greatest gift you ever received even even if it doesn't seem likely right now so always remember out
44:12 of your greatest despair comes the greatest gift of your life best of luck [Music] [Music] [Music]
