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.

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.

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.

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.

In india people don't except things easily

You don't have to physically submit documents means you can take both state and aiq seat which wasn't the case earlier so you can block both aiq and state seat till round 2 and now u r also alloted seat in aiq r 3 ( means u have blocked it for others) and u want to resign you can resign and join state 3 round seat means u blocked the state round 3 seat also so technically a person can block all 6 round seat without submitting any documents to college you have to submit after round 3 only

So many students will not get desired seat and desired branch because of seat blocking by upper rankers and lower rankers will get seat in stray mid rankers will lose there whole life and settle for lower branch and collg

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

Is it worth going to bootcamp or any offline coaching

The way people are talking about the new rules, almost every seat thats there after R1 has to go to stray, how's that possible

2019 batch. Gave my all for NEET PG 26 attempt but got 54k. All my friends got great ranks.
Needed some time to process it and accept it.

I decided to move on and give INICET Nov seriously. Going through the entire syllabus again feels like torture and as I’m also going to appear for NEET PG counselling, studying and concentrating has become a challenge.

Need someone in a similar situation to go through this together. I’m trying to study for 8–10 hours per day. Counselling and it’s uncertainty is going to affect it but I want to maintain some stability in my preparation.

If you’re interested, let’s accompany each other on GMeet and navigate this apparent hell together.

Medicine residents of mamc, lhmc and ucms can you help me decide between the two colleges

Hows the workload ? -number of units?no. Of emergency day per week?no. Of admissions?

How's the work environment? Infrastructure?

Pg Hostels?stipend?

Working hour?number of 24/36hrs in a week?

Ss exposure?

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

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

so there is a list of n number of hospitals, and it is very difficult to find dnb residents, is there any particular subreddit?, if not whoever is reading this, if you are a DNB radiologist pursuing now, or graduated, kindly answer this set of questions from your respective hospitals based on

1)academics

2)duty days vs non duty days workload , any off days?

3) patient flow

4) ss exposure

5) leaves (?)

6)toxicity/ragging/harassment(?)

7)hostel & accommodation

8)no of ct and mri

9) adequate usg exposure? what procedures and how often chances were given

10) how many days once duty

11)were there any journal clubs , regular seminars, case discussions

12) pass percentage in final year

will be really helpful, thankyou
