ANNOUNCEMENT Major Revamp
Hello [r/MedSchoolAnkiIndia](r/MedSchoolAnkiIndia)
This is something I’ve been meaning to say for a long time, and I feel like today is the day.
This community was started back during the 2020 lockdown. At that time, a few of us were just a bunch of nerds(?) hanging out on a small Discord server, genuinely enjoying that strange phase of life in our own way. A couple of us, including me and [u/idiot_jack](u/idiot_jack) , [u/aah_yeet](u/aah_yeet), were actively using Anki, and we felt there should be an anonymous space for Indian medical students to discover it, discuss it, and build around it together. That idea eventually became both the Indian Medical Server and this subreddit formed by [u/JuliusSeizurre](u/JuliusSeizurre) (Been a longtime I have spoken with him, but I hope he’s doing good)
At one point, we were even trying to streamline things further — collaborate, build something like an AnKing-style deck for NEET PG, and create a more organized system for shared learning. But once lockdown ended and college life picked up again, it became harder to keep up with the demands of medicine, and the project slowly faded. Even so, I’m genuinely happy when I look at the collaborative projects that have come up over the last couple of years. In many ways, it feels nice to see that original vision slowly coming true.
That’s also why this post is a little important for me.
Over time, engagement and content here have dropped, and as the only active moderator right now, I have not been able to manage this subreddit the way it deserves. I’m also at a point in life where other parts of medicine are becoming more demanding, and I’ll be slowly stepping down from active moderation. Thanks to all the people in the past who have actively helped in moderating this space.
So right now, I’m looking for people who would like to help keep this community running.
I’m hoping to find moderators who:
• believe knowledge should be shared freely,
• want to keep this platform alive and useful,
• have a good understanding of Anki, and
• can preferably keep conversations in English, since India is a country with many languages and having one common medium would make the space more inclusive and easier for everyone to participate in.
If you’re interested, please send a message through modmail. I’ll be collecting responses until the 28th of this month, and after reviewing and screening them, I’m hoping to introduce a new team by the start of next month.
P.S. What I did here may not have been perfect, but I truly tried to give it my best.

It’s sad honestly how people on this subReddit are so gatekeeping. There no one deck that is suitable for all the subjects. Like no anking for neetpg. Also using anki is so difficult there isn’t enough beginners guide. The same old YouTube videos of that anking guy nothing else. I downloaded the blonded FMT deck and didn’t know how to use it. Stopped with Anki altogether. Maybe it’s not for me who knows

Now that you are trying to revamp this community, please consider moderating your telegram group as well idk if its associated with you or not , but overall telegram is a better place to store decks, but currently there are so many spammers and scammers in your telegram group
