How I prepared for My MDS ENTRANCE

Hi .This is Dr.Suresh Shenvi

Once you enter the best days of internship, after that hectic long BDS
final year,with a dream of doing MDS in mind.. you start looking for
the books need to be read? wondering which coaching to join.. but
many later realize that, such facilites will be available only in metro
cities..so the student starts thinking about dropping another year to
join the coaching next year so that he can give his 100%.May be they
are not wrong .. But u have 10 precious month of intenship . so why
dont u give a compelete genuine try..

Now the big question is HOW?

I can tell u how I had prepared for entrance during my internship . I

had a good score during my BDS yrs, but I too was not sure about how
to prepare for entrance for MDS.. so I was no different from other.
I had asked some of my immediate seniors who got through various
entrances..so apart from reading this long mail , u should also ask u r
seniors, as they will give u better idea about u r state entrance

Its better to follow the things said by Seniors who have got success
than trying to find a new path on ur own..

U have around 10 months from now.

There r two ways.. Either read theory or MCQ explanation. I followed

the MCQ

I will give u a formula. U r success can be divided in to

60% what u do in internship
20% what u did in past 4 yrs
10% luck
and remaining 10% cant be achieved no matter what u read

How to achieve 60%-

Start from the 2nd month of internship, or at least 10 months before

exams.

All r at the same position when u start preparation , may be one or

two percent more than u,, but its the not start,, its the end which
matters the most.

U need to do following books minimum

Pulse-6 times
Gourishankar- 4 times
Bhatia-3 times
Neeraj wadhwan-3 times
Jatin kalra-2 times(optional)
Duggal 2 times(optional)
Bytes-2 times
Mudit khanna-3 times
Dental Explore and books of aiims and aipg papers by Dr.Naveen
Choudary - 3 times
National Boards

I repeate.. Its the minimum time.. If u start early u can finish the
pulse 7-9 times for sure and rest books 2 times more than what i
mentioned

U need complete this task this before dec.. And in jan u have only time
to do pulse and just the dental papers and just question and answer
from mudit khanna

How to achieve 20%

If u have not read some good books in past then don't worry.. read the
explanation given in the mcq books

Order of reading

Do pulse completely once excluding synopsis. Takes 2 month at 1st

reading.The in next reading do a subject from gourishankar followed
by the same in pulse. complete both book in this order but this time
with synposis

Next reading do a subject from bhatia and then same in gourishankar

and then
pulse.. Make sure, u should try to remember all repeated question
from pulse.

So when u reach till bhatia start reading Neeraj wadhwan side by side.

Complete one round again..

So u have already done pulse 3 time now .Now u start reading Mudit
khanna...One papers of mudit khanna takes around 10 hours..so do it
in parts.

When u finish mudit khanna 1st round u will have u r aiims exams. So
make sure u complete mudit khanna before nov.. Do pulse again in 15
days beofore aims. and may be PGI in dec.. So when u come back
revise pulse gourshanakr and other books.. but these two books are
imp for state entrance apart from solving papers..

and do mudit khanna also may be only recent papers.

So in jan do revision again for 15 days.. and when u come back after
aipg just do pulse and old papers ..U can give State entrance, Mahe,
Kahe, Abshetty, and if u want Siddarth dental colleg, Yennpoya, Jss
and may be SDM next time if it becomes deemed.

Read only question papers the day before the exam and sleep atlest
for 10 hours.

And Dont get distracted from studies no matter what the situation is.
Never worry about fees.. Get the best rank first.. u will have enough of
time to think about fees later
Joining a test series will give a added advantage too.. It will help u to
remember things which r repeated too often in exams. and that too
will help to have that fear about exam, but the ultimate result depends
on once own effort. Never follow the test series timetable for ur
preparation.. U neeed to plan according to the time and number of
revisions u need to do before giving the final exam..

Remember one thing.. The key to success is to remember as many

things as possible.. Read for at least 10hours when u complete
internship.. Needs dedication. Nobody knows that he will be the
topper in exms..

So Aim for aipg .. but its the time, luck and hard work which can buy u
that.. but for state entrace u need to mug up total pulse and
gourishankar,, and recent papers .But never try for short cuts.. reach
till Mudith khana and i am sure u will best in all exam.

Believe me, if u have failed once that does not mean u will fail
again[:)].. u just have to find where u went wrong.. but whats imp is
giving 100% effort and not 99.99%

Believe me.. Not becuase i got a seat,, Becuase i followed what my

seniors said to me and thats why I succeded.

Got
Kcet 6th,,
PGI-18th, ,
abshetty 23rd,
Manipal 71 and
comed 55th and
kahe 43.

Anyway did not got rank in AIPG may be because i did not do national
boards.But I guess my other ranks are worth.. As this was my First
and Last attempt without spending another year for coaching..

I am not the only guy who has done this

Who knows. u might be the topper next time

Read well..

best of luck

(This is just to help new aspirants and not for publicity and I am sure
if u look , u will find many who have achieved more than this.. So find
them out [:)] )
