TOWARDS SUCCESS & DISTINCTION INMEDICAL ENTRANCE EXAMS, 2017

OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEDICAL EDUCATIONMore than Twenty Thousand Seats are available every year in Indian Medical Colleges. The entrance examinations are many and the competition tough. Yet a bright and hardworking student can with our guidance be selected by several Medical Colleges from which to choose the one he/she wants to attend.

A student can appear for several Entrance Examinations in the same year. In fact, every year, most of our students appear for two or more Entrance Exams and are selected for admission by more than one Medical College, from which they then choose the Institution they want to join.

A two-year preparation for these Medical Entrance Examinations is considered de rigeur for such students. Our CBSE-PLUS Course is an integrated Correspondence Course spanning the XI and XII Standard years. Rich in theory and worked examples, it is packed with assignments and solutions. The course gives the student abundant practice in answering objective-type questions and solving problems. Nearly 8,600 objective-type questions in Med.QB (Medical Question Bank) Self-Scorer Tests and Simulator Papers are presented to the student.

Add to this: Four progressive Postal Tests, and B.NET (Brilliant’s National Evaluation Tests for Medical Entrance) comprising 8 National Online Tests (7 Chapterwise Tests, during the 1st year and 7 Chapterwise Tests in the second year. 4 Full syllabus Tests in January , February and March 2017) and 13 Full-Syllabus objective type Medical Entrance Simulator Tests, (home-based) for the AIPMT conducted by the CBSE, New Delhi. A formidable array indeed, designed to lift the student’s competence and confidence for high performance in the intensely competitive Medical Entrance Exams.
