I would always suggest aspirants to go for DNB if you are not getting MD/MS in your speciality of choice. In some specialities like Ophthalmology, DNB is in fact superior to doing a MS from a govt medical College! For NEETSS some DrNB courses surpass DM/MCh. #NEETPGResults

Truth be told,I enjoyed my MS days much more than my MBBS days. Post-graduation period is not just about hectic duties and sleepless nights as often told but more about colouring purpose to what you have learned in your UG days. Plus great friendships too😊 #MedTwitter

If you are planning to take General Surgery for #NEETPG counselling, be sure you want it. Surgery is a good branch but do not take it if you think you would get easy returns and an easy path ahead. The learning curve might take a toll but if you have the aptitude,you'l excel(1/n)

'Bailey & Love's Short Practice of Surgery' is such a beautifully written book. I have never appreciated it during my UG days or even in my PG days, but it caught hold of me in my recent years of practice. However, the best time to read it is in your final year MBBS! #MedTwitter

Dear #NEETPG aspirants, it is okay if you didn't get a seat, even if your buddies have...it is okay to keep studying and wait for the next session if you won't get a seat of your choice now. In the long run,what you become is more important than how long you took! #MedTwitter

The most important factor in your residency is your co-pg(s) followed by your seniors. If one of those goes wrong, you are gonna have a tough time. Unfortunately, neither are in your hands. You just gotta be thankful if both factors are favourable. #MedX

As this is the era of laparoscopic surgery and robotics, ensure that the institution of your choice gives you exposure. Govt medical colleges would provide you with ample hands but a DNB institute can give you exposure to the latest in the field which is very important (3/n)
