Rank 10, INI-CET May’25, Dr Bhavek did it all - 93 GTs, Marrowthons, every test & unique strategies

0:00 Hello students, this is Dr. Manisha Bud Raja, your mar faculty for ENT and today with us is Dr. Bhavy who has achieved an unbelievable amazing rank of rank 10 in the recently held INI set May 2025. So congratulations Dr. Bhavik from all our viewers and the entire Mar team. How are you feel? Thank you ma'am. feeling hasn't yet. So were you expecting this rank but 10th top 100. So Dr. Bhavik is actually very very modest to

0:47 say he was expecting and has got a rank of rank 10. So Dr. Bhavik first of all tell us about yourself. Uh myself Dr. Bhavik Chrani uh I'm from Amir Rajasthan and I have done my MBBS from Javaru Medical College Amir and I'm from 2019 BH. Okay. So this was uh your first attempt. Yes, this was my first attempt. Yes. Wow. Great. So uh inet is not a simple exam. So please tell us how marrow helped you to reach your dream. What role did it play? When did you start using marrow? Who inspired you? And yes

1:35 let us uh know about your journey so that all our viewers also can get benefited from it. So first of all I would like to thank whole my routine that every each and every faculty has inspired me in some or other way right. So that's there and also I started using marrow from my second prof uh and initially uh you can say uh there was some friend and he referred me so I started using marrow and first of all I uh watched the main videos right so in the second prof I started with p uh with Dr. ElaM and yes I found as yes this resource is good for me I can use it

2:23 further. Then uh initially uh I started using marrow but my pace was not very good. But as I entered the third prof then I started uh uh the fourth pro subject also but still uh I was not solving many questions. I was not uh solving uh giving GTS uh and towards the end of the third prof I realized that yes I have to give uh GTs I have to solve question banks and that really helped me a lot. So the main videos and the question bank and the GTS and also the revision videos I watched revision videos of addition five, edition 6, edition 6.5, edition 8 along with the

3:08 MCQ discussion video they were the main uh you can say thing that helped me uh further. So okay so you have watched all the videos and you started from second prof. So what do you advise your friends and your juniors? What do you think is the best time to start the preparation with marrow? I think it would be great if you start as early as possible even in the first prof. Great. Because if you have a mindset that uh that you want to crackpet exam then starting early uh it gives you an edge over others. Of course that's the uh you cannot deny it and also it helps you to get familiarized with your pattern of

3:55 studying as early as you start you will start to realize that how I like things and how uh I will uh do these things. Yes. Very well very well said that the earlier you start the more you will know what this platform is and how best you can use it for your benefit. Yes. So uh when you started you saw the videos and you were telling me that you could not do the questions because uh maybe at that time you feel that exam right it's you know it's time so maybe we can just see the videos and questions but do you think that while you're seeing the videos you should do the questions alongside definitely uh you should when you're

4:42 watching the main videos side by side you should get the question m solved. That would be my and as soon as you watch a subject from uh the main videos, keep giving regular subject wise test at a monthly interval or a fortnightly interval. That will help you a lot. Yes. So I think when we uh do the subject when we do the lecture we do it like a story and when we do the MCQs we know that all the things that in the story we were just listening like a story was also important and how it can be framed into a question. Yes absolutely right. So um any specific modules of the videos or any specific videos which really made a change in

5:29 your understanding and you felt that wow movement that yes I uh this was so difficult for me and it has become so simple anything that you remember uh I remember a path yes p was really made simple by Dr. Elijah ma'am also uh surgery great and also ent also because you have covered it explaining each and every thing and you are and you are just repeating it again again so so that it gets imprinted in our mind so it's sort of revision watching ent with you through your videos thank you so much Vita and I think that uh you know it is almost all the

6:17 subjects Even when I see when I have some doubt in marrow, I feel that my god I want to do this. I want to give the PG exam again but it is a it is uh such an amazing thing to read from all the faculties but yes sometimes something really hits us. So uh yes and uh that was so nice. So um also tell us that how you did the question bank when you were doing the question bank could you solve all of them at the first time did you bookmark them and if at all you bookmarked how did you remove those bookmarks? Uh so first of all um as I said that I started with the main videos in the third prof I seriously started the

7:03 question bank and while doing so I got almost you can say 65% 70% 75% correct mean 65 to 75 correct percent correct and one thing was that that even in the third prop I was doing the question bank in a patchy manner it was not uh systemic or organized So what I did in fourth prof was that I reseted the question bank and again in the fourth prof I did all the question bank uh in a systemwise manner in the way that I felt that yes I have to do this like this. So that's how I use the question bank question bank like uh uh from like heart you did everything of anatomy physiology medicine of heart I mean like like that

7:49 what system wise means no no no system wise means uh subject wise only subject wise only okay so Dr. Bhavik you finished could you finish all your videos by the end of final year. You told me that you started in second prof. So all the second prof as well as the first prof subjects could you finish in the second prof and like how did you go about it and how did you like were you able to finish all your videos by the end of final year? Uh I finished all my videos by the end of third prof only. Oh wow. In the in the fourth prof it was all about watching the revision videos and CQ discussion videos giving subject wise test grand tests and all that. So in your third prof itself you had

8:35 finished all the final year subjects also. Uh majority yes it was yes majority yes some some videos like 50 60 videos of uh medicine 30 40 videos of surgeries that was uh pending but that I completed in when the fourth year started early I completed that. So, so since you had watched all the videos even before you started the clinics of those subjects majorly the clinics could uh did these videos and this understanding of these subjects help you in your clinics also and did that attending the clinics and a better understanding in the clinics because of the knowledge that you had already gained further help you to understand that those subjects uh even

9:22 in depth. Uh yes it's true but frankly speaking I didn't get much of clinical exposure in my college that that much of clinical exposure I didn't get because we all know that there are most of the colleges uh in India right so the clinical exposure is not that good so okay my main uh you can say was only the videos through the videos I learned most of the things okay so yes in the videos also we have a very very clinical approach so that you can actually when you are doing the questions you can actually know what to look for and how to look for. Yes. Yes. Yes. So tell us uh when did you start doing GTS giving GTS? Uh I start doing

10:10 GT I started uh towards my end of the third prof and from the fourth prof I was consistent. So how many GPS were you giving? How frequently were you giving them? Uh initially I was giving once in a month. Then it was also twice in a uh month but when I became consistent it was like every 15 days I have to give one GT or every 15 days I have to solve at least two subject test like that. Okay. So once you had done your videos then your major preparation was with the help of revision videos MCQ discussions as well as the GTS and were you reviewing your GTS also? Yes that's is the most hectic part but that is also the most important part. So how did you

10:58 review you were reviewing everything the same thing? Uh first of all I reviewed all the incorrect ones uh then the skipped ones and then uh also all the uh question that I got correct also just a glance through my eyes. Okay. So majorly you were revising the entire GT once you had given the GT also. So in other words, you were revising all the 19 subjects every 15 days. Yes. Yes, you can say that. Yes. Okay. And uh what was your approach to the GTS? Were you leaving the tricky questions like how many questions were

11:44 you marking in the beginning and what was your approach towards the end just before the exams? uh initially I used to leave uh much more questions and towards the end I was very aggressive in my approach because I realized that after giving so many GTs I realized that that yes I was thinking in the right direction and still I haven't marked the answer so gradually understood my pattern of u the judging question solving questions and it gradually uh we can I I marked more and more questions. Yes. So, how many questions did you mark in this INA set?

12:30 Uh I got uh I marked 195. 195. Yes. And that is why I think giving GTS starting early is very very important because once you give the GTs you actually know how what your thinking process is whether you are thinking to choose between the two options. what is the probability that you will be marking the correct answer. So all that takes a lot of time and experience. Yes. Great. Great. And that's why that's why it's important to uh start early I would say because only you are going to find out your process but how you process things and all that. So starting early is important I think. So did you use the GT analytics and graphs also to

13:15 find out your weaker points and to improve on them? uh initially I used them but later on as I got more and more correct then I just uh but yes they were helpful initially for me when uh I started giving GTS uh they told me that yes this subject was a lead point like I got most questions from obsci correct so I started paying more attention to obsciny so initially yes this was very helpful incorrect or correct uh incorrect incorrect Correct. Okay. Okay. So then you focus more on obs. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So uh what was your note takingaking strategy? Did you make your own notes or

14:00 did you take the mar notes? So the paradox is that I made notes of uh the main videos, the revision videos, the MCQ discussion videos but I never read them. Oh okay. Okay. Then how did you revise? If you like when we make notes, our main aim is to be able to use them for revision when we need it most before the exam. Then how was your revision from? Where did you I think I made notes just for my satisfaction. Uh for revision I would say it was only through questions. Questions questions and questions that's that's all. Okay. So you were doing question bank and how were you using the custom modules

14:47 because you're telling that you were doing a lot of questions. So it is uh like how did you give yourself different varieties of questions so that you can do the same thing again and again. Uh to be frank uh I must have used only seven to eight custom modules. Most of it was through the subject test. All the subject test I mean all the previous years also that are available I solved them all. All the many tests that are available from the previous years also I solved them and most of the GTs. Okay. So which means that any test that was available in the app whether it was subject wise test GTS and even the previous year GTS you get even even if

15:32 it was from 2017 2018 I solved them. Okay because sometimes student students ask us that how many previous year question GTS should we be solving. So you have solved all of them because the pattern has changed a lot from 2017. So what we tell them is that the topic still remain the same. So what is your view on that? That's true. The top you are right the topics remain the same. That's why I solved the all the all the uh GTs all the subject test because I know the topic is going to remain the same regarding the pattern. I gave the new GTS. So the new GTs have got the latest pattern. So that balance helped me a lot.

16:18 So did you also take part in marathons or you were very disciplined on your own? No, I took part in marathons. Okay. So how did that help you? It was Yes, it was great for building consistency because in the end consistency is the only thing that matters. Very very no matter how Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Please continue. uh no matter how can say how much you have studied let's say you have studied for 4 days at a stretch and then you're not studying for a month so that is a waste so being consistent is the most difficult thing in this journey and it is also frustrating but it has to be

17:04 done yes what we feel is that you know succeeding in this exams is an open secret You have all the resources with you which is not there and the only thing that you have to do is be consistent. Every single day you have to do the same thing again and again and again. Okay.

17:55 Ed.5 regarding clinical series. So, so which means that you have used every single possibility that could have been used in Maro app. Everything you have used any specific feature of Maro app that you really felt was very good and all of the students should use. Uh I would say towards the end I uh started using custom modules. So I felt that I should have used it earlier but by the time I set it was there so I couldn't use but I'm using it right now. Okay. Okay. Okay. So uh you are still

18:42 preparing for need. Yes. Yes. Okay. So uh uh like uh what is the specific thing that you would want to tell your juniors? What are the mistakes that you made that they should not be making or one thing you already told that you were very consistent and that is what all the students should do if they actually want to succeed. So any mistakes you want them not to make what you made? Uh any mistakes? I think that they should make mistakes in the question bank but uh not with the studies that

19:31 means uh so True. Very good. Yes. Okay. And you also told me that when you took marrow three editions changed. Yes. So that is one dilemma that all the students are in that videos. So should they follow the new

20:16 notes, new videos or the old videos, old notes? And what I get from you is that you saw only the videos of the first time, right? Five. And after that whenever new edition came you just saw the revision videos and the MCQ videos of all the new edition. Yes. Did it suffice you felt obviously you got such a wonderful rank so I think it suffice but yes what is your view? Uh of course I had the FOMO that I should do all the main videos again but uh I also had to do the question bank. I also had to do the give the GTS and subject test. So I waited the pros and

21:03 cons that more importantly I have now have to focus on the questions. So that FOMO that you have to get out if you have completed main videos once then it is all about the revision videos the MCQ discussion videos and the uh GTS and the subject testers and mini tests that's all. And what was your approach to tricky questions like when you were giving the GTS? Uh were you like uh were you were you always marking those tricky questions and did you feel that if you are calm you are able to see more clearly and even maybe what was asked was very simple which was appearing very difficult. Did you ever feel like that?

21:49 Uh yeah, initially I left the tricky question but as time went on u then what I saw was that that if I looked at the four options again uh then uh looking at the four options with a we can say uh I skipped it initially but then I marked it for review then when I came back then I got a different point of view. So I would advise that the question that you are not uh uh that are tricky or you're not getting answer uh uh you're not sure about it just leave it just go to the next question and come back to that question again uh uh which you have marked for review in the last many times question appears very

22:36 difficult when you see the choices you know that yes you can just rule out and you can come to the answer yes but for that I think you need a very calm mind as one more thing that my main uh you can say plus point that I would say that my main plus point was that I was good at dueling out options. So even uh just I uh I just uh look at the last line what the question was asking and just I just started dueling over the options. So that helped me to gain speed and accuracy as well. Great. Great. Great. So how did you maintain your calm just before the exam and also on the day of the exam? Uh to be frank uh I am not a person who

23:24 is uh very anxious. I I remain calm. Yes, we can see it right now also. Yes. So what is the secret? the secret uh I think it it must have been conditioned from the childhood so that you can't change right so yes and also I think that when your preparation is very good that itself gives you a lot of confidence confidence yes that's that helps you to keep calm so what was your rank in the last maro uh I think it was around uh 60 or 70. Yeah. So usually most of the time whatever is the rank in the last GT is

24:10 very near to the actual rank. So that again gives you a lot of confidence. So sometimes students ask us that uh when we do the custom modules just before the exams it there are so many questions that we feel are very new and we are not able to solve them that is putting us down. So what should we do? Should we go back to the pyqs or should we continue solving the custom modules? I would say that uh if you started using custom modules then go on with the custom modules only. Don't be afraid

24:57 that topic. Great. Great. Yes. And that also gives you uh you know a conditioning that questions might be difficult and difficult to be I will be able to solve them and then the exam actual exams just feels like another uh question test or GT. Yes. Yes. Great. Great. So thank you so much Dr. Bhavik. It was uh amazing talking to you and getting your insights and getting your experiences and I'm sure all our viewers are going to benefit from it. So yes, our dear viewers, our dear students, you have all the resources with you. Now it is your time to be consistent to give your heart

25:45 into it and to achieve your dream to make your dream come true. Thank you so much and congratulations again Dr. Bhavik. Thank you, ma'am.
