Be Mindful about your syllabus

Know your syllabus first as this is the first brick on which your aim of preparing for AIAPGET like homoeopathic competitive exams will stand. So, be mindful about your syllabus at the very beginning of your journey.

How to overcome that initial impulse

You need to maintain that very same initial curiosity that which book/author is the best etc. but sans confusion as you will gradually get to know everything once you start catching up with the pace of your regular semester. Hold the determination (tightly) of not slowing down until you reach your destination.

Make a proper revision module

Revision is the best aspect of the whole Preparation module for any type of competitive exams. And it is more about synchronization of mental eagerness, offline preparatory classes, online classes and online test series (Mock tests).

For a perfect subject-wise revision guide, read “Scene behind the success“, a beautiful article written by a fellow homoeopath DR. Bidya Bhusan Barik (BHMS), who has already cracked it successfully.

Join a result oriented offline preparatory camp

It’s the time for action replay! What you have already learned in BHMS needs to be revisited.  What you did not understand then needs to be double sure now, what you have forgotten needs to be brain-feed one last time, even what you have dreamt for then but could not achieved needs to be given another try…

 It’s the time to plug in those gaps only to cross that final barrier called AIAPGET, UPSC or state PSCs with flying colours by learning from and interacting with the finest talents of this country! Go for a perfect result-oriented offline classes or say homoeopathy preparatory camp to make your dream come true!

Take short-term online classes 

Ohh! Sometimes everyone hits by some or few hurdles … Be it a geopolitical barrier or a social complication or a pandemic called Coronavirus outbreak. Then, should we stop?

No, not at all. After all you are born to win. Isn’t it? Every obstacle has its own merit! Evaluate the situation and go for a short-term online classes. But remember to make sure that the online homeopathic classes you join caters the best-possible learning experience that you are in the pursuit of!

Revise by watching Recorded video classes

No doubt, Recorded video classes are increasingly becoming one of the most important factors of your entrance preparations as sometimes (may be most of the times) you may miss your regular online classes due to the indifferent timings of live streaming. In that scenario, you definitely need the recording videos of those missed classes. If that’s not the only reason you should subscribe to the best available “Online recorded video classes”, then those subject-wise recorded videos will definitely help you when you revise the whole syllabus.

Practice with online test series & (Mock Tests)

Practice, Practice and more Practice! This is the final “Mantra” to help you crack a competitive exam! Don’t know how to choose the best online test series (Mock tests)? …

Use your IQ, ask fellow aspirants who already have checked various online test series (for students) or go for the one that seems to be promising on the back of the current year probable question and answer sets compiled by the experts in the field of homoeopathy by keeping AIAPGET and other homeopathic entrances in mind.   

Take a break and wind yourself up

Heck, what is this? ….Ya, trust me, this one is a real healer!

As long as you are feeling happy and exhausted there is a very realistic chance of you living your dream sooner or later!

So take a small break every day, just close your eyes, detach yourself from the outer world, and realize that you are missing the most wonderful person in the world…And who is that special one???

Hey, that is none other than “YOU Yourself” dear! Oh God! How crazy I am? Nah, never… Just listen to your most favorite songs for a while by keeping your own self by your side, try to connect with your inner self and I promise, you will discover a new “You”, the happiest person in the world! 

And, it is evident that those who are happy from within are better placed to take on any challenge successfully be it their social life or professional ambition.  

Someone very close to me had once advised me a very meaningful piece of words during my formation years which is still ringing in my ears and from that day I have kept those words very close to my heart as a “Golden rule of my life” so far…

She said, “Whatever you do, whatever you want to do or whatever you wish may not produce the exact result you have desired.” So before you start dreaming, it’s always wise to ask yourself a couple of somewhat very “silly questions” (err…Initially I thought so!).

And those so called “Silly questions” which I ask myself every time whenever I am depressed, dejected, short of confidence and then when I’m clueless about a sudden circumstantial disturbance, then when everything doesn’t fall in place as it should have, then when I feel I can’t overcome this obstacle, then when I start doubting my own capabilities which took years to build only on the back of that very same “Golden rule of my life” are:

Why did you take born? What is your aim and how will you accomplish it despite all the obstacles? What you are doing and what you will do for this society? How to make this life special???

Last words

To me, these are not mere questions, in fact these are the ingredients of the making of an indomitable mentality that derives inspiration from within only to beat all the odds to accomplish that elusive goal of the life! Be it AIAPGET, UPSC, state PSCs or anything else…

And then? It’s all about living your dream, serving for the mankind and contributing your bit to make this world beautiful!
