I am a 020 batch graduate and my cousin will be going through counselling this year, so I just checked the MBBS seat matrix for the year 2024, Maharashtra.

MH had 5050 government seats and only 996 seats for unreserved category...ffs only 20% for unreserved

What the hell is this?

When did the reservations go from 50% to 80%??

And how is this logical...?

Not opposing the 50 % reservation but wtf is 80%...

This is for all the mbbs students…Recommend me things I can do before mbbs starts which you wish you did…I am genuinely bored and have nothing to do…I tried reading bdc but zyada kuch samjh nahi aaya…and jis tarah se counselling ka r1 bhi nahi hua hai abhi tak i dont think october se pehle college shuru hoga😭😭

I always end up getting headache halfway through the exam because of hyperfocus (along with lack of sleep and tension as well). Happened during last year's NEET, Nov INICET and this year's May INICET also. So it would be really helpful if I can take a Pmol tablet inside and take it at the tiniest hint of a headache starting.

I usually wear kurties (which have pockets) during exams so would it be an issue to carry one tablet inside my pocket? Will it become a problem if anyone sees me taking the tablet mid-exam? Has anyone done this? Please help me out.

With my NEET UG rank I am getting newer medical colleges in West Bengal (colleges which started in 2022). Should I join one of these colleges or take a drop?

I'm a 2nd year MBBS student and currently my Pre-professional exams are being conducted. I have written Pathology paper 1 and 2 with a pen which was gifted to me only to realise later that it had thermochromic ink (Ink disappears when subjected to high temperatures). Now I know that chances of the ink getting vanished are less because it requires high temperature but still I can't stop overthinking about it and have made 100 scenarios in my head of the examiner coming across my blank answer copy.

I can't even study for my Microbiology exam for tomorrow. This thought keeps on coming to my head what if it vanishes and I have to give the supplementary exams 😭.

hello, i'm looking for a single place where complete NEET PG previous year papers are available with respective answer keys.

if anyone has it please share.

In today's high-stakes exams like NEET-PG, deep conceptual understanding often takes a backseat to sheer pattern recognition.

Applying core concepts to complex clinical vignettes or video-based questions takes time. When you only have about a minute per question, thinking through underlying principles simply runs out the clock. Meanwhile, candidates who were spoon fed and they memorize condensed 700-page high-yield notes can recall buzzwords 🫣 instantly and score far higher.

I don't fault the faculty or the students; everyone is simply optimizing for the exam's format. But the current testing pattern inadvertently penalizes genuine conceptual thinkers. And people like me who cant just rote learn facts easily we just can’t do that!!!
As someone currently preparing for NEET-PG, this time crunch due to conceptual knowledge application is my biggest bottleneck, reasoning through a question thoroughly inevitably takes more time than the clock allows.

People often argue that real-world clinical practice rewards conceptual thinkers over rote memory makers which is true. But the irony is, to even reach that real world and claim my dream branch, I first have to beat an exam system that filters out deep thinking in favor of rapid recall

We were together since first year of my mbbs (he was one year my senior) mind you he was the one who chased me endlessly and obsessively because some stupid boys of my class made some list about junior girls and wrote my name in it (F you guys honestly) and handed it over to seniors. It was a stupid tradition in our college.

I really hatéd him for chasing me, but there was this instant spark. That you just cannot resist.

I really wasnt looking for a relationship or anything but he was just relentless.

We fell in love so hard it was astronomical.

He joined his residency this year so he is JR1 currently, I took a drop year after my internship to prepare for neet pg.

He was my first serious boyfriend, everyone knew about us both our parents even our relatives, we had no problems- great understanding, great chemistry till he completely stopped giving a shit soon after joining his residency.

If we ever fought he made no efforts whatsoever to clear the misunderstanding we would go days or weeks without talking to each other because he would refuse to initiate a single text, I was always the one initiating a text or a call.

He was great during college days, didn’t even talk to any girl except me, was caring, completely honest, dependable, trustworthy didn’t even give me a single reason to be disappointed ever, all our days revolved around each other, not a single day would go by without talking to each other.

I trusted him completely and thought Id marry him one day (both of us discussed about it extensively) even our families started to discuss about it at some point.

Both our families were on good terms with each other.

I carried on till he stopped giving a shit completely—if i didn’t call or message we would go days without talking,
A few days ago I called him up panicking about it, that why he didn’t make an effort to call or text anymore —his response was to let him sleep as he has an early morning shift next day.

I never bothered him during his shifts, we didn’t have late night chats or calls anymore because I KNEW and UNDERSTOOD how brutal pg shifts are, I tried to be as understanding as someone could be.

I was so so so devastated i was crying and throwing up from the anxiety crying on the call and everything——he just said to let him sleep 😴 and went back to sleep.

I waited the next day or the day after that.

Nothing.

He didn’t message or call me, mind you he was going out to the movies going about his days normally, it seems he just forgot one random day that I exist after 7 fucking years.

The end.

Now I have to deal with a nasty life altering breakup 10 days before my exam and I cant deal with shit.

It feels like I built my nervous system brick by brick around him in past 7 years, like I wouldn’t know emotions like happiness and contentment if he was not by my side.

I am unable to revise anything and dissociating so hard since past few days, there is this astronomical weight in my chest that just wouldn’t lift no matter what.

Also its like I brought this upon myself, things were going bad since last few months but i chose these specific crucial days to chase him out and let shit hit the fan

How the fuck people move on from a 7 year long commitment like its nothing?

I am a first year mbbs student and i had recently heard about the icmr sts project from my mentors. I always had an interest in research but didnt know much how to get into it so i just gave it all i could on the sts and very luckily got selected!! But now im confused as to what happens now if some of you who got selected before could guide. Also whats some benefits of this program

I'm talking about the first strange or uncommon diagnosis you had, how you arrived at it, and how the patient did.

I was in PGY1, patient referred from Psychiatry, managed as Serotonin Syndrome due to multiple neuromodulator agents after she fell and suffered a back injury. Took history carefully, found out that the fall was relatively minor, went through her reports, found sky high ESR and a globulin level of 7, diagnosed multiple myeloma. Underwent BMT and is on follow up with Haemat now.
