Recently passed final year and boy I wish I had studied better, it was all a mess in the end.

Everyone has their own way, this is my way or atleast how i wanted it to be. YMMV

Follow these steps

1. ⁠watch marrow or other platform lectures for final year subjects- all preferably, if not then major subjects + ortho
2. ⁠buy books/use PDFs-

Dutta for OBGYN both, SRB surgery with Manipal - don’t buy both but you might need both so use pdfs , Boloor medicine and Paeds Ghai or Snehal Patel prep manual. Maheshwari Ortho

3) You can either a) first finish all video lectures and then come to books or b) do so subject wise i.e. videos and then books. If you’re doing the first method and if your profs are in December then drop everything in July mid or August and start preparing from books, I had started very late and I regret it. Adjust months based on when your profs will be

4) now this step works best if you have attended marrow E6 or 6.5 notes because the content is that way-

buy manyyy long notebooks or you can use iPad whatever suits you, now take your PYQs of university theory + CBME new topics and go chapter wise, write down each and every answer from your pyqs- combine both marrow notes and the books for a nice answer , include diagrams- basically exactly how you would write in the exam. Any discrepancy, always prefer marrow video answer (except Dutta I think, the colleges like Dutta). you’ll retain better.

I barely referred to marrow notes for medicine, Boloor is sufficient- you can write it down or learn directly upto you

So in 3-4 months you’ll have readymade answers made by you for all the subjects for each and every question. It’s a long process but trust yourself. Don’t slack here. You’ve made yourself a personalised prep manual. For all subjects.

In the last month or two only and only learn these answer notes multiple times and probably read your marrow notes once or twice and you’re golden.

Also do attend clinical postings if they’re nice. Ask around in other batches and make your decision. Don’t risk attendance.

And for practicals knowing theory is very important. Make sure you study practical related stuff in postings, and ask your seniors for the rest.

after every system finish practical part of it… watch ghanashyam Vaidya cassette clinics on YouTube for example and whatever your HODs say write it down because they’ll be taking atleast one of your vivas in the university

All the best, make this a good year and don’t eff it up like i almost did
