Why did he decide to pursue medicine?

I was inspired to be a doctor from my paternal uncle since childhood. I was motivated by his practice as a pediatrician and the respect he earned. I made sure that I work hard to reach my goal.

What was your preparation strategy for the exam?

 I had started full-fledged preparation from Class XI. I had joined a Kota based coaching institute for medical entrance exam preparation. I had strictly followed the guidelines given by my faculty members. Initially I concentrated on gaining stronghold over the concepts followed by taking regular practice tests and solving previous years question papers and taking lessons of improvement from the mistakes. Apart from coaching, I used to put around   6 to 7 hours of self-study.

You had followed a strict study schedule. How did you unwind yourself? Could you find time to pursue your hobbies?

Since I stayed in Kota, away from family, I did not find my scope to pursue my hobby, which is a sport. I love playing badminton, table tennis and computer games. Occasionally I played these games whenever I found some time. Otherwise I used to take short naps within the day to catch up on my sleep.
