Q:   How difficult is the NEET PG?

A:

NEET PG is a higher-level exam with a high level of competition. The NEET PG exam syllabus is extensive and covers all 19 subjects that a medico studies during the MBBS. The student's preparation time is also limited, and they must balance coursework and an internship.

This leaves little to no time to prepare for the NEET PG. A student works an internship at a hospital before the NEET PG exam, and the shifts are unpredictable. A lack of preparation time combined with intense competition makes NEET PG a difficult nut to crack. At the same time, it is not impossible task to score well in the exam. Candidates only need proper preparation, planning, and consistent efforts. What matters is that you believe in yourself and work towards your goal.

A:

Candidates expect to devote many hours to crack any competitive exams. This rule applies in NEET exam also. Candidates have to devote serious 5-7 hours daily to prepare the exam throughly. Experts belive candidates should utilize this time with proper planning. They should have strategies in place how to use these hours to cover in and out of every topic of NEET PG syllabus. Some candidates may require more time than daily than others and this may depends on many factors especially where they actually stand before starting preparation.

Check previous year question papers

Solving NEET PG question papers make candidates gain confidence before the exam. Candidates get to know about the type of question being asked in the exam and their difficulty level. Candidates get an idea about the number of questions being asked from any particular topic. Previous year question paper also helps candidates to work on those areas where they lack.

Seek the guidance of seniors/professors to clear doubts

Doubts are something that makes candidates confuse and it needs to do away with as soon as possible. As NEET PG 2025 is one of the toughest exams, candidates should not live with doubt in any topics of NEET PG 2025 syllabus. Colleagues/seniors/professors should be consulted to make you understand the concept and clear doubts.

Be Postitive and Motivated

Candidates should never let the negative thought come into their mind. Never think too about the outcome in the exam. Always think that your preparation is the best. Whenever you feel low due to any reason, try to unwind yourself through the things you enjoy the most. This could be watching your favourite music or playing games or anyting else. The objective is to let brain relax and rejuvenate.
