For anyone pursuing oncology, the journey does not frequently come to a close with MD. Many among us venture into oncology with a plan to superspecialize later on down the line. When I began serious research into oncology, one of the most fundamental questions I asked myself was whether MD Radiotherapy is a satisfactory entrance branch into DM Oncology or whether it jeopardizes our ambitions for a later branch. The response to these questions varied from being conflicting to incomplete to prejudiced to a certain extent. This blog attempts to provide a truthful overview to the best of our knowledge available to date. Oncology is no longer an area where you can apply your single skill set directly. Oncology is inherently multidisciplinary, consisting of multiple specialties like medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, pathology, radiology, and palliative medicine. MD Radiotherapy is at a very special point in this entire ecosystem. It provides very early and extensive ac...

During our preparation in NEET PG, one question keeps knocking in our heads again and again: what after getting a rank? The choice for many of us is not just about getting any MD seat but about choosing a branch that offers intellectual satisfaction, long-term stability, and a respectable lifestyle. MD Radiotherapy is one such branch which usually gets misconceived, underestimated, and many times gets ignored only because of unawareness. To be frank, initially, even I thought radiotherapy is a very narrow field with limited scope. But as I started to explore it seriously, spoke to seniors, understood the actual work profile; I feel MD Radiotherapy is one of the most future-proof and steadily growing branches in modern medicine. Radiation oncology remains the backbone of cancer management. Almost every kind of solid malignancy requires radiation at some or the other point in its treatment-either curative therapy, adjuvant therapy, neoadjuvant therapy, or palliation. This fact places rad...

 The first time I got to hear about BTR by Zainab Vora, it was already creating a buzz among many aspirants. It was called a “last-minute miracle” by some, while others dubbed it as something that is too small a study material for such a large exam as NEET PG. I was a bit apprehensive when I started working on it, as I well-knew that there was no one material that could themselves get me through NEET PG. But as time passed, I figured out how I could use it best, and it changed my whole approach. The first mistake that most students make with BTR is attempting to treat it as a resource for primary learning. It was one of my biggest goals to ensure that BTR was a resource that I interacted with only after I had accomplished at least one proper reading/videobook learning of the topic. BTR is most effective with a brain that is merely in need of a base to build upon and simply sharpening through exams. I began using BTR only after completing my cornerstone notes and question bank of a ...

When I had first come across Anki during my preparation for the NEET PG, I was quite skeptical. The fact that simple flashcards could handle the vastness of medical subjects sounded implausible. And like many aspirants, I was already overwhelmed by the notes, videos, question banks, and revision schedules. Adding one more tool seemed unnecessary. But over time, I realized that Anki was not just another study resource; it was a system that trained my memory in ways which traditional revision never could. NEET PG requires long-term retention, quick recall, and the ability to remember volatile facts under stress. My biggest problem was not studying new topics; rather, it was forgetting old topics. Anki addressed this exact weakness by making me revise stuff just before I was about to forget it. This single change significantly improved my retention and confidence. The most important thing that I learned early on was that Anki should never be used as a first-time learning tool. I always st...

The NEET PG preparation is not merely about medicine. It's about fear management, time management, burnout, and revision-all at once. Like all NEET PG aspirants, I faced inconsistency, information overload, and self-doubt. That’s when I started using GPT, not as a shortcut, but as a smart study companion. This blog is about my personal system: how I use GPT daily for NEET PG preparation, what worked and what didn't, and how it changed the complete approach toward learning medicine. It may help in enhancing user's attention, if necessary. 1. My First Rule: GPT Is Not My Notes, It Is My Teacher I never use GPT to directly memorize content. I use it for the following reasons: • Explain the concepts • Improve weak areas • Revise intelligently • screwed on my active testing of myself If you treat GPT like a notes app, you will fail. If you treat it like a 24×7 tutor, it becomes powerful. 2. How I Start Any NEET PG Topic Using GPT Whenever I initiate any topic, whether it be Medi...

When we look at the present scenario of MBBS graduates in India, we can see that there are several different pathways available, though each comes with its own limitations. The first and most commonly discussed option is preparing for postgraduate entrance exams such as NEET-PG or INI-CET. Through this route, you can specialise in any branch you prefer. However, this is not the path that everyone chooses, and many graduates decide to start working immediately. Another major path is working as a general practitioner in clinics in tier-2 or tier-3 cities. In such settings, the typical monthly earning ranges from ₹50,000 to ₹80,000, and in the best cases it may go up to ₹90,000. If you work in busy casualty departments in tier-2 hospitals, the income can be slightly higher, around ₹1,00,000 to ₹1,20,000 per month. There is also the option of joining corporate hospitals as a junior doctor, resident doctor, or academic resident. But even in these settings, the usual salary is around ₹50,...
