My salutations to ALMIGHTY – A tangent between zero and infinity – for his divine grace bestowed when needed.
vA Few Words to Share
Time has gone when the questions were repeated in AIPGDEE from previous year question papers and the repeat questions determined the results. Today almost 35–50 questions are totally new which have not appeared in any preparation books till date. These questions actually determine the result of any exam.
All MDS aspirants read the previous papers and are able to solve the repeat. Important aspect here is the correct answers and explanations of these questions. You do not want a repeat question to go wrong!
Also to get the edge above others, aspirants need to prepare for the new questions, which have not yet appeared in any question banks.
AIPGDEE is well-devised to test the skills in and around various subjects comprehensively but if you are having good understanding of subjects and well updated, you can get through. It is not limited to the last moment preparation or the cramming ability.
The trends been changing year by year, with emphasis more on clinically oriented and in-depth specialized topics like orthodontics, radiology, pharmacology, genetics, molecular biology, etc. The paper been tiresome which tests the tricky nature of common topics.
Keeping these in mind, the concept of ROADS was laid. Eight hundred to one thousand pages give you an insight of the topics commonly asked in entrance exams and ‘Good to Know’ points introduce several newer topics and sections to raise your bar above the aspirants.
This book will help you crack various pre-PG entrance exams ranging from State entrances to All India level exams.

viRoad to MDS
AIPGDEE is conducted by AIIMS. The syllabus for AIPGDEE shall be that of the BDS standard. The syllabus shall cover all the subjects taught during the BDS course.
Initial Preparation
- Earlier you start, better it is. As time lost is time gone
- Start with subjects and topics which interest you more, slowly move on to the less interesting subjects
- Plan and plan how to start preparation for each subject
- If preparing with ROADS, read the subject chapter first and then attempt 700–1000 questions of that subject
- Revise continuously
- Talk to friends, group study is helpful. Discussing important/difficult topics makes them easier to understand.
- Do not cut yourself from your life. Four to five hours per day for 8–10 months is usually sufficient.
- More than the number of hours you put in, important is the amount of concentration you put in those hours of study. So practice meditation exercises regularly to improve your concentration skills
- Take a break, it is very helpful. Taking a evening off once or twice a month is not a bad idea at all.
Last Minute Preparation
The last 20–30 days are very crucial and stressful at the same time. These play an important role in how you will do in the exam on D-day. Here are few tips for the last minute preparation.
- Firstly do not start a new book now
- Revise all your notes. Use ROADS to consolidate what you have learnt
- Go through last 2 years papers of NEET, AIIMS (Nov and May)
- Also go through AIPGMEE papers of at least last 3 years and surely of this year
- Last but not the least sleep well and eat well before the exams
Hope these will be helpful to you and will help to take a step closer to your dreams.
