First Edition: 2017

From the vast array of our MDS-Book Series to our Facebook group TARGET-MDS to the nation's leading Academist TARGET MDS Test Series, we have achieved a high watermark of being the most reliable and trusted brand for MDS Entrance exams.

We, on behalf of the entire team, take the purpose of thanking one and all who have contributed to the backbone in our success.

The national MDS Entrance exams have been hit by a lot of changes: from AIPGDE, State CETs, COMEDK to a single Entrance Exam NEET MDS to be conducted by NBE. So, adapting to the ever-changing exam patterns is the need of the time.

We are back on the tick with yet another Blockbuster release of the year, our brand new book TARGET MDS: Image Based Questions.

The book has been written gingerly keeping in view the modern exam pattern with mickle stress laid on the clinical subjects. Every effort has been made to keep the content extremely limpid and high yielding. Terse and condign explanations from standard reference books will definitely make your reading an easy and time-saving task. It is a choate guide to the flummoxing exam and is especially designed to incite your acumen in solving each question with a rational reckoning.

We are sure this “Maverick Version” will wipe away all your anxieties stirred up by the sudden changes in exam pattern and will buttress your aplomb by easy-to-revise exam-oriented points. With this, we are extremely happy to place our new work in your hands.

Wishing you all the success for the upcoming exam.

Please do bolster our endeavors with your extremely valuable feedback.

First and foremost, we must acknowledge and thank the Almighty God for blessing, protecting and guiding us throu­ghout this period.

We are very grateful to Dr. Vivek Mahajan and Dr. Anagh Malhotra for their excellent suggestions and invaluable ideas during the making of this book.

We express our gratitude to Dr. Sunaina Sood, Dr. Samita Gumber, Dr. Snigdha Sharma, Dr. Heena Ramnani, Dr. Lisha Thakur, Dr. Sandeep Bhullar, Dr. Richa Arora, Dr. Pallavi Goel, Dr. Tarun Mahajan, Dr. Hansa Kundu, Dr. Umesh Joshi, Dr. Amit Gupta, Dr. Devanshu Narang, Dr. Garima, Dr. Maninder Singh, Dr. Kanika Kapoor, Dr. Navdeep Walia, Dr. Pankaj Gupta, Dr. Angad Singh, Dr. Nikhil Sharma, Dr. Gauri, Dr. Pallavi Gupta, Dr. Meenakshi Jindal, Dr. Gagandeep, Dr. Rahul Wadhera, Dr. Krishan Jain, who helped us in numerous ways to bring out this book.

Most importantly ‘Believe in God’ and pray for a rank and seat which you wish to get.... Study hard.... Some day we will study 13 hours and, the other day, we may study 3 or 4 hours only...it does not matter...do not get confused about what to read.... Keep studying....Most important are the dental and medical previous papers....A Book like Target MDS is trustworthy and superb....keeping going....GOD BLESS YOU ALL....

First of all I want to congratulate the entire TARGET MDS team on the publication of the AIIMS book and also want to thank them to have let me write a recommendation. I personally do not feel that this book requires any recommendation from anybody cause its a recommendation into itself. Anybody who has read the book will know that it is a thoroughly reviewed and comprehensive book. A very few of them are there in the market today, and even fewer are as simple and yet as informative as this one. A very good feature that I found out during my preparation days was that the different forms of one question were all given together which was really a time saver in those crucial days and it saved me a lot of hassle of sorting them out myself. Also the TARGET MDS team is very prompt and helpful towards resolving queries of the aspirants. I just wish them all the best and hope that they continue doing the great job that they are.

Tab. TARGET MDS -------- Recipe for success

1-1-1 × 365 days

Hello Students, for any aspiring PG student, authentic answers with good references are a dire need. I think TARGET MDS team has done very true to their part. Also along with dental, they are providing medical papers of recent years which are an icing on the cake.

I must say that this is an excellent book. It aided me a lot during my last minute preparation. I recommend all of you that you should get hold of it at least once.

I have told this to many juniors personally but would like to mention here as well: TARGET MDS books were very helpful for my PG preparation alot many controversial questions with different versions have been discussed nicely which helps in clearing the concepts. I would highly recommend it to all the PG aspirants. Good work TARGET MDS.

Hello Readers, at the onset I extend my heartiest thanks to the authors of TARGET MDS for bringing out such a wonderful AIIMS series. TARGET MDS had been extremely useful to me throughout the process of my preparation for postgraduate exams. Especially useful and worth praising is the different version of questions discussed so nicely in the face of controversial and perplexing questions.

I highly recommend this book as a must to read guide to all the aspirants looking up for cracking AIIMS and AIPG exams this year. I am also grateful to the authors for extending their help for solving my doubts and queries whenever I needed it. I also recommend every PG aspirant to join the wonderful group TARGET MDS on the Facebook.

Thanks once again.

Target mds book was really helpful in my MDS preparation. The way they presented the controversial questions, different ways in which such questions can be fabricated and the inclusion of standard references would help everyone to be clear about that topic.

I hope the book will be even better and would help the aspirants to achieve their dream goal MDS.

Right book to start with, blend of all recent papers, nowhere else to search for, jadibooti to success....this book has been a boon to me that made my dream into a REALITY...have it and fulfill it.....All the Best...

Hardwork is the key to success but handwork in the right direction is even more important. Also being consistent and having faith in GOD is inevitable. I would love to thank the authors of TARGET MDS book for their best efforts. The best part of this book is authenticity of the questions. The authors have tried their level best to maintain same language of questions that come in exam. I congratulate them for their sincere efforts.

I commence by whole-heartedly thanking God, my parents, teachers and everyone who has been a part of this challenging journey. I especially thank the Academist TARGET MDS Test series for providing all the recent exam papers even before they were available in the market. It saved a lot of time and money and tension.

The mantra of my success is DEDICATION, FOCUS, PERSISTENCE and CONFIDENCE; as a result, I got All India Rank 18 and able to bag my dream seat.

For all the aspirants, I would say... “if I can do it, you too can”. I had been an average student during my BDS when one incident pushed my limits and I started studying seriously and regularly. As a result, I secured a university rank in final year and that proved to be a turning and motivating point in my life. I started studying for MDS entrance exam. Initially, I did not know what all to study and how to study. I have learned everything through my experience and hence sharing my journey with you all.

My strategies included:

“A journey of thousand miles begins with a single step”.

Sharing my success story, to begin with, I would like to highlight few things that encouraged me throughout my journey. I always wondered how hard the people might be working to get into their dream institute like PGI and AIIMS. I also made my daily schedule and started preparing accordingly. Giving equal time to each and every subject (especially clinicians). Making notes and highlighting the important points helped me a lot. Try to convert your weakness into strength. I would say consistency is the key to success. As it happened in my case, I was consistent throughout my whole journey, which was a bit longer than I thought. Gave my first exam, AIIMS Nov 2013, got 1071 Rank, Gave my last exam, PGI June 2016, Got 1st rank. Number of things happened with me during this 3 years time span that really helped me to reach my goal. Firm determination, consistency and flexibility were my key to success making my daily schedule, following it regularly, before going to bed: 15-20 minutes revision of what I read whole day, helped me in quicker and easier grasping of things. Making notes from standard textbooks and other MCQs books helped me in better understanding and simplified the things just before exams. You must learn from your mistakes, you must push yourself towards your goal, as push itself says: Persist until something happens.

I would like to share my few ranks, which in the trust sense where not failure. But, a pathway to my success.
