Brief Summary
This video by Dr. Rishikesh MAMC discusses the best resources for NEET PG preparation, specifically focusing on which subjects require BTR (Basic Theory Revision), Rapid Revision, or a combination of both. The video is divided by professional year, offering subject-specific guidance. Key takeaways include the importance of previous year questions with explanations, the sufficiency of BTR for certain subjects, and the necessity of Rapid Revision for others. The video also advises against relying on main notes and question banks for average students aiming for a good rank.
- BTR is sufficient for Biochemistry and FMT.
- Rapid Revision is crucial for Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, PSM, Surgery and Radio.
- Integrated BTR is recommended for Medicine.
- Previous year questions with explanations are essential for all subjects.
Intro
Dr. Rishikesh addresses a common question from students about the best resources for NEET PG preparation. He clarifies which subjects require BTR, Rapid Revision, or a combination of both. The main focus is on determining when BTR is sufficient and when additional resources are needed. He emphasizes the importance of listening to the video till the end to grasp all the important points.
First Year Subjects: Anatomy, Biochemistry, Physiology
For first-year subjects, Dr. Rishikesh suggests that 80-90% of the entrance exam syllabus can be covered by Previous Year Questions with Explanation, Rapid Revision, and BTR. For Anatomy, both Rapid Revision (preferably by Ashwini Sir) and BTR are necessary, along with previous year questions with five-year explanations. BTR alone is sufficient for Biochemistry, supplemented by previous year questions with explanations from Mero. For Physiology, Rapid Revision (ideally from Sunsar's Prep Rate) is recommended, as BTR is not sufficient. Previous year questions are also essential for Physio, focusing on conceptual and numerical problems.
Second Year Subjects: Pathology, Pharmacology, FMT, Microbiology
In the second year, Rapid Revision is needed for Pathology (Preeti Ma'am) and Pharmacology (Ankit Sir from Prep Ladder). Alternatively, Integrated Pharma BTR can be used. Simple BTR is not sufficient for either subject. BTR is sufficient for FMT when combined with previous year questions. For Microbiology, Rapid Revision (again, Preeti Ma'am) is necessary, along with five years of previous year questions with explanations.
Third Year Subjects: PSM, ENT, Ophthalmology
For third-year subjects, Rapid Revision is crucial for PSM (ideally from Mero, taught by Mukham Sir), as BTR alone is insufficient. For ENT and Ophthalmology, Rapid Revision is recommended for thorough coverage, but BTR can be used if time is limited. For ENT, Weston Ma'am from Prep Ladder is preferred, while for Ophthalmology, Utsav Sir from Mero is recommended. If multiple subscriptions aren't feasible, focus on Rapid Revision from one source and solve previous year questions.
Final Year Short Subjects: Psychiatry, Dermatology, Anesthesia
For final year short subjects like Psychiatry, Dermatology, and Anesthesia, BTR and Bonus BTR are sufficient. Dr. Rishikesh specifically mentions that Ma'am's teaching in Psychiatry covers concepts well. For Dermatology, be aware that new questions may appear each year, potentially requiring reference to main notes. Anesthesia and Emergency Medicine are covered in the BTR and Bonus BTR of the Anesthesia section. Focus on these resources and five years of previous year questions.
Final Year Major Subjects: Surgery
For Surgery, BTR is not recommended as it only covers 50-60% of the required material. Rapid Revision by Rohan Khandelwal Sir is the best approach, along with previous year questions with explanations.
Final Year Major Subjects: Medicine
For Medicine, Integrated BTR and previous year questions with detailed explanations are sufficient to solve 80% of questions. Alternatively, Rapid Revision by Dilip Sir is recommended for better coverage (90-95%). If time is limited, Integrated BTR plus previous year questions is a good strategy.
Final Year Major Subjects: Pediatrics
For Pediatrics, Rapid Revision is not recommended. Instead, BTR and Bonus BTR are the best resources, supplemented with DVT (presumably a question bank or revision series).
Final Year Major Subjects: Radio
For Radio, Rapid Revision is essential. Options include revisions by Ma'am, himself, Padar, or Nikita Ma'am. BTR alone is insufficient, although BTR 2.1 may have some relevant content.
Summary of BTR Sufficiency and Additional Advice
In summary, BTR alone is sufficient for Biochemistry and FMT. Integrated Pharma can be used if Rapid Revision for Pharmacology isn't feasible. For short subjects, BTR is generally the best approach. Integrated BTR is highly valuable for Medicine. For other subjects, Rapid Revision is necessary. Dr. Rishikesh reiterates the importance of doing five years of previous year questions with explanations, ideally from Mero. He also suggests using AIIMS PG previous year questions if time permits. He advises against relying on main notes and question banks, especially for average students aiming for a good rank, and recommends focusing on the mentioned sources and 266 modules of previous year questions with explanations.
