MCI DEC 2017 ANALYSIS

FMGE EXAM DEC 2017, was conducted in a single session with Common Questions to all.

Paper 1, as usual, was relatively easy as compared to Paper 2. Most of the Questions were One-Liners and Students found it to be Scoring. Students found the paper easy but the options seemed to puzzle a lot of students. There were around 17-20 Q in Anatomy overall with most of the Q in the first paper. Biochemistry was relatively less this time while OBG, SURGERY, OPHTHO, ENT, ANATOMY, PSM were high Yielding subjects. Lots of clinical orientated One-Liners were seen in Paper 2 and thus a lot of students were seen struggling with the time management.


Paper 1 consisted mostly of Pre-Clinical Subjects and Paper 2 had Clinical Subjects + ParaClinical. Again this time the Blueprint for the No of Q was not followed. Medicine Q was moderate to tough while Pharmacology had a lot of Q's and was together asked from diff Subjects (OBG, ENT, OPHTHO)

Micro Q seemed to be easy and doable. Most of the Q was from basic Microbiology with few Q from bacteriology and none from Parasitology.


Q from the PROAFS Subjects was easy and most of the students found it doable during the exams.
Students were in a combat with the Image Based Q (IBQ) during their preparation period while after the exam it was a relief as most of the students marked the IBQ  correct. The IBQ asked this time was very basic and was mainly focussed on the Most imp presentations from each subject. 1 IBQ which featured in the Exam was "ROBOTIC SURGERY" and was very evident from the picture.

Revision Again played the most Imp role during the exam and Notes + Mcq's + Again Notes was the ideal approach which Most of the students agreed on.


Advice: Don't Leave any subject, but focus on the Imp ones keeping in Mind the Marks associated with per Subject. Make your basics strong and revise at least 3-4 times. Make your Strong points Stronger and weak ones Good. Give mocks to adjust your time management and also to prepare a Strategy. Solve MCQ's on a daily basis.

JUNE 2017 Analysis

DAY 1:

As per the reviews of the Students, it is observed that the second half of the exam was quite difficult as compared to the first half.PSM contained the highest number of questions followed by ENT and Anatomy. PSM seems to be ruling the test.

‘One-Liners’ seemed to rule the FMGE exam (Day 1 session). Candidates stated that 80% of questions were based on ‘One Liners’ while only 20% were on ‘Clinical Scenarios’.

Some Students termed the Examination "DiFFICULT" While others seem to be Weighing it "Tricky"

PSM Section had lots of updated Questions on MALARIA AND TB.

DAY 2: 

As per the review of the Students, First half of the exam was difficult as compared to the second half BUT still better than Day 1 session. "First paper consisted Core Basic Questions and were confusing" one of the students quoted. 

‘One-Liners’ seemed to rule the FMGE exam (Day 2 session). Candidates stated that 90% of questions were based on ‘One Liners’ while only 10% were on ‘Clinical Scenarios’.

No Questions were asked from OBG Oncology section while Pathology and Pharmacology Consisted not more than 15 Q together. Students were heard saying "We Prepared Biostats very well looking at the last FMGE (Dec 2016 Session)Exam and was hoping to do well. To my surprise, I didn't find any Question from this section."

While ENT Seems to be easy, Biochemistry consisted more than 20 Q as against 17 While PSM consisted more than 40 Q as Against 30 according to the Marks Distribution Enlisted by MCI.

The subjects which carried considerably low weight age in June FMGE exam are as follows:

• Physiology
• Pathology
• Medicine
• Pediatrics
• Gynecology 
• Surgery

#ADVICE: Looking at the Recent trend, Marks Distribution in not followed Strictly. Hence it is advised to Cover smaller Subjects very well in addition to the Bulky ones like Surgery, Medicine etc.

The secret of Passing this Simple Exam is how many times and How Well you Revise the Subjects. Remember Revision is the Key.

Give your final touch with Kamal KV book not for just for these subjects but for all subjects. Even though you haven’t read that subject in your lifetime and don’t be surprised if you find the exact questions in your exam.
