For Dr. Jasnoor Kaur, NEET PG preparation became a focused journey only after completing most of her MBBS and internship. A 2018 batch student at MGIMS Wardha, she chose to prioritise clinical learning during internship rather than continue studying from books. Once she started preparing seriously in September, she built her strategy around short-term targets, MCQs, and repeated GT practice.
Jasnoor had always been academically inclined, but her approach during internship was different. She decided to focus on hospital duties and make the most of the clinical exposure she was getting.
“I have always been a studious student… mujhe hamesha se hi padhne mein bahut interest tha, so from first year to second year onwards I have always been studying with my books... so... but then phir internship, final year mein bahut padhai ki, phir jab internship aaya tab I took a decision to chill, ki nahi ab relax karenge.”
Instead of seeing the year away from books as wasted time, she believes the clinical experience eventually helped her during NEET PG. What she encountered in the hospital made several concepts and questions easier to understand later.
After internship, she began serious preparation from September and divided the journey into smaller targets.
“So last year I think result aa gaya tha two-end of August mein. So first September se maine phir first day, first week of September se maine pura seriously padhna shuru kiya, and I am somebody who works with short-term targets.”
Her first major target was to complete one round of the syllabus before the November AIIMS examination. This gave her preparation a clear direction instead of making the entire NEET PG syllabus feel overwhelming.
MCQs were not always Jasnoor’s strength. In fact, she admits that she largely ignored them during medical college and only started taking them seriously during her NEET PG preparation.
GTs eventually became one of the biggest components of her strategy because they helped her practise time management, stress management, and different attempt strategies.
“GT is one thing which is objectively. GT to bahut important hai; it teaches you time management, it teaches you how to manage stress.”
She initially gave a GT every couple of weeks. Later, as the exam came closer, she increased the frequency to one GT every three days.
Jasnoor also experimented with her attempt strategy instead of blindly following a fixed number of GTs or questions.
“Maine to towards the end I was actually making my proper strategy like this ki main chaar GT doongi aur main chaaron GT mein apna ek-ek mein 195 attempt karungi, ek mein 190, ek mein 185, and then I would compare my scores.”
This experimentation helped her understand what worked best for her under pressure. In NEET PG 2025, she ultimately attempted 196 questions, reflecting the aggressive approach she had developed through repeated practice.

While preparing, Jasnoor faced another common problem: deciding what to study from. She had access to multiple resources, old notes, and different teachers, making source selection one of the most difficult parts of preparation.
PW MedEd became one of the platforms she explored after already following educators such as Ranjit Sir, Mamta Jawa Ma’am, and Ankit Sir.
“And that is how I came across PW MedEd in the very beginning of my journey, because I was following Ranjit Sir and Mamta Jawa ma'am from second year itself, and there were some things which were grossly left… Hematology bach gaya tha, Parasitology, Immunology ye cheezein reh gayi thi meri, so I wanted to go back to them.”
She used the platform to revisit subjects and topics that had remained incomplete, including Pathology, Microbiology, Parasitology, and Immunology. For her, the value was not in collecting more and more resources but in finding a source that could help fill the gaps in her existing preparation.
The preparation year was far from easy. Jasnoor openly describes the emotional pressure of preparing for a competitive examination and the sacrifices she had to make along the way.
“It is demanding, ye ek ye sirf academic game hai hi nahi, ye psychological game hai, the game, the game tries to break you every day, and you have to say ki nahi I will not break, I will do and I will…you will have to fight back and get ready every day.”
GTs often became particularly stressful, but she found support in her parents, who turned every GT day into an ice-cream day. These small moments helped her deal with the pressure and return to preparation the next day.
Despite doubts and difficult days, she kept showing up. Her final message reflects the mindset that carried her through the preparation:
“No, you made a promise to yourself when you were little ki mujhe MBBS karna hai, phir tumne socha mujhe MD karna hai, so ye sab tum it is your decision, you are doing this for yourself, and there is light at the end of the road, just keep going, just keep showing up.”
Dr. Jasnoor Kaur’s AIR 898 in NEET PG 2025 shows that preparation does not have to begin with a perfect strategy. Her journey was built gradually through clinical learning, focused targets, MCQ practice, GTs, and, most importantly, consistency. For aspirants, her story is a reminder to find a workable strategy, trust it, and keep showing up even on the difficult days.
