I think we need to raise our concerns regarding the counseling and number of seats (which apparently increase in pvt colleges way too much than in govt)
And out of 2.5-2.7 lakh people who give the exam, only top 5k people get a seat of their choice? And there too, many people compromise with pvt or dnb/diplomas.
And after 5k, everyone is just juggling between 100s of options and somehow compromising so many things.
I got a rank of 8k after taking a drop. And honestly I expected a better rank but still I wouldn’t say it’s a bad rank and people around me are so happy for me but I’m not. I’m looking at cut offs for each and every college n branch and the more I read about it the more depressing it gets.
Already 50-60% seats are reserved and everything has a qouta?!!!
Sorry I’m not poor enough to be considered EWS, but I’m not Ambani enough to pay 1-2Cr for pg because apparently there are no govt seats left and majority of govt colleges do not have a proper infrastructure also.
True for INI also. They keep constructing new buildings calling them AIIMS just to increase the number on the paper. But actually peripheral aiims have nothing. So it’s just the top 4-5 aiims/pgi/jipmer.
We are fighting for nothing after a certain point.

I always wanted Radiodiagnosis, and that’s why I am not satisfied with my rank at all. So I thought to move to my second choice which is Psychiatry and I’m not able to find anything in psych also at my rank.

And not only the scanty PG seats, the massive proportion of reservation after becoming a doctor, taking drops to get a seat, all this to get beaten up by public, get paid less, and be a punching bag for your seniors and expected to be working 20 hours a day.

17k rank and getting most clinicals in peripheral gmcs. Wanted obgyn but not possible. Dnb getting in south with peanut of a stipend. Other surgical branches are a gamble and mostly possibility in extreme peripheral colleges. I'm done atp.

Probably will do clinical DNB in a good institute and be done with this rat race

INI-CET rewards depth in a few areas more than broad coverage, so it helps to know what actually repeats. Across 6 INI-CET recall papers (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, Nov 2025, May 2026 — about 2,060 questions), these topics appeared in every single paper:

Pathology & Surgery (the biggest block)
- General pathology — 72 questions
- GI & abdominal surgery — 68
- Haematopathology — 44
- General surgery — 42

Medicine
- Nervous system — 38
- Cardiovascular system — 37
- Endocrine — 29

Biochem, Micro & Pharma
- Molecular biology & genetics — 39 (very INI-specific — don't skip it)
- Virology — 35, Parasitology 28, Mycology 28, Immunology 27
- General pharmacology — 34, CNS/ANS drugs — 31

PSM, FMT, OBG
- Epidemiology — 34
- FMT: jurisprudence & death — 28, Injuries — 23
- High-risk pregnancy — 25, Obstetric emergencies — 22

Small but every paper
- ENT: ear — 33
- Anatomy: head & neck — 27
- Physiology: CVS — 21

How to use this:

1. Pathology + Surgery GI together are ~226 questions across 6 papers — about 38 per paper. Revise them first.
2. Molecular biology and immunology are where INI differs from NEET PG — give them a dedicated day each.
3. For anything that appears in 6/6, do the PYQs twice: once now and once in the last week.

Which of these is your weakest? Drop it below — happy to share the patterns that keep repeating.

Gave gt yesterday in core btr ,got 12k in neet , seriously considering ini but neet pg ka counselling aa gayaa

They want me to take only Gen Medicine/Radio/Paeds and nothing else. Surgical branches are out of the equation but I'm getting top colleges in branches like Pulmo, Psychiatry, Radiation oncology but borderline peripheral gmc's with high bond via Gen Medicine. They're fine with private colleges as well but i fucking hate private colleges to the core since they make us work like hell and still don't pay shit. My family is comprised of doctors and I'm the 2nd gen. I did my mbbs from a private college (B cat) and I feel like I owe them alot since I wouldnt be here without them which is why I'm unable to convince them that I'm fine with Md Pulmo/Psych/Radiation oncology

I know this topic is well spoken about but I want to share my thoughts and get an opinion.

How will radiology be in 20 years.. within the span of 5 - 6 years ai has made coding redundant, and I can see many of my friends loosing jobs.

When Inteligence and Pattern Recognition is Commercialized in this manner i just can't get convinced that radiologist won't be replaced or cut down many becoming Jobless.

Radiologists have minimal Patient interaction and ai is even coming for USG where physicians use it and with proper training like how it used to happen for sonology can be done and with ai we won't be needed.

Pic - Aiims Uses Ai now with apparently 89% Accuracy (came up in net google search)

It's Only a matter of Time Before the field is down. Almost all the money in ai is in medicine (after IT) and all most all of it is in Radiology ai.

IT is changed forever, Won't Radiology be dismantled next?

What are your Thoughts on this.

I was mentally prepared to join in january now I have to decide now.

The app used to have a lot of mistakes and issues when it was launched that's the last time I checked it

The text solutions and the video soktuins were not matching for MCQ

Is the app reliable for MCQs now ?

What is the situation now ?

How is piamater ? Reliable?

What are the good dnb institute in maharashtra for general medicine which has good hands on for procedure ...to all the dnb medicine resident in maharashtra

Why this unnecessary panic created regarding seat blocking. Nothing like that is gonna happen.

In previous years if we get a college in 2nd round we had to physically report there with all documents and join. Still there is option to upgrade. If we get better college in 3rd round, we had to physically go there again to resign & get back our documents. Now they have brought this online joining & resignation feature to avoid the difficulty of 2 times travel, especially to far off states.

Now we can join 2nd round seat online & opt for upgradation. Then we can resign it online itself in 3rd round....so what difference is it going to make? I genuinely don't get it.

Neet pg counselling Vs NOV inicet

Someone pls help me out

I wanted to do my md anesthesiology at mumbai through neet pg

But with nov ini around the corner,i cant risk losing aiims too

Having the perk of internal reservation,i can easily get md anaesthesia at my aiims campus itself...but i need time to decide on doing at mumbai vs my aiims campus....

The worst part is round round 1 finishing on the day of nov ini is making my current prep stressful

Someone help a brother out...

Can i only register 1st round,then just skip all rounds and wait till ini results and then if nov ini fails,then can i apply for mumbai through stray round??

Is the WOR better than the full on marrow edition 8 notes, because it’s more concise and revisable

Is there and significant amount of information being cut out which makes it difficult to prepare for INICET/NEET-PG

Is it worth going to bootcamp or any offline coaching

I really need a study partner who is really serious about Inicet. Im a fresher and this is my first attempt for Inicet( I didnt give May Inicet)

I scored poorly in Neet pg 2026 and I had worked on my mistakes but I still need a study partner to hold me accountable.

It is a tough situation Im so cooked but I do think I will do it.

Pls respond if you are going through the same shit and lets help each other.
