NEET PG

No exam is difficult unless you accept that it is a difficult exam. The NEET PG exam definitely requires a strong preparation strategy and hard work to get cleared with a good rank and the desired college and branch. The job is made even easier with increasing online content and apps like Prepladder, Marrow, DAMS, and Bhatia. So, if you know the right sources from which to prepare and have the right approach to preparation, you have done half of your job for NEET PG preparation. For this reason, I am highlighting some important points regarding the selection of coaching institute apps here. Because of its easily revisable content, Prepladder is the go-to app for quick and easy note revision. For first-time preparation, you need to make notes on all subjects that you can revise later. So, you can buy individual apps rather than a complete package; this is possible with PrepAhead and some other good teachers' apps. Bank and GTs are very important. Choose a source that gives clinical questions (also based on PYQs), like the prostate or bone marrow. For all of these reasons, choosing the right source is critical, and most students prefer prepladder and bone marrow. If concise content and easy-to-revise notes are considered, Prepladder is even handier.

Marrow is good when your goal is AIIMS. DAMS or Bhatia are good when your goal is NEET. DAMS follows a hybrid structure. They are experienced and professional educators and have an amazing way of teaching. They have an online application that is convenient and accessible with a smooth user interface. The live online classes give you the same feeling as the face-to-face classes because of the constant student-teacher interactions, plus all your doubts are cleared instantly. The same faculty is teaching on their offline and online DAMS platforms. The notes are very concise, crisp, and easy to understand. They have few pre-recorded applications like MARROW and Prep; hence, they aren't doable, and it is difficult to maintain your focus due to the lack of interactions and the lack of a support system for clearing your doubts. MARROW notes are too long, weighing in at kilos, and contain far too much useless information. The faculty is also not very good.

The main problem while preparing for NEET PG during an internship is a lack of time. You have to handle the academics as well as your duties in clinics, hospitals, etc. At the end of a busy day in the hospital, you're left with neither the time nor the energy to open up bulky books and flood your mind with all the information. The simple fix is a concise source that's only filled with the essential information you need to know. And for that very purpose, I feel the rapid revision programme of youtube is the best. You can't expect to watch all of the videos for all 19 subjects in your intern year, on top of your other responsibilities. It's just physically not possible. There's just not enough time. A concise video is no good if it won't help you solve any Multiple Choice Ques. I hope this will help you.
