How Physics Wallah Helped Dr. Raj Secure AIR 79 in NEET PG in His First Attempt?

Every NEET PG rank carries a story behind it. A story filled with struggle, planning, mistakes, and constant learning. Dr. Raj, who secured AIR 79 in NEET PG in his very first attempt, opens up about his preparation journey in his own words and shares how Physics Wallah stood by him at every stage.

From building daily discipline to fixing weak concepts, managing exam stress, and staying consistent till the very end, his journey shows how clarity of concepts, the right mindset, and steady effort can turn hard work into top results.

How an Internship Became the Foundation of His NEET PG Strategy?

Preparing for NEET PG alongside an internship is never easy. Long duty hours, frequent posting changes, and physical exhaustion leave very little time and energy for focused study. Dr. Raj’s preparation began during his internship itself, where the initial months were relatively manageable, but the workload increased significantly as he moved into more demanding postings.

At the very beginning, Dr. Raj understood one important truth, planning must match reality. With an ongoing internship, he knew that following an ideal timetable would only add stress.

“Maine pehle hi target rakh liya tha ki ongoing internship ke saath main notes complete nahi ho payenge.”

This decision reduced unnecessary stress and allowed him to focus on consistency rather than feeling guilty about what he could not complete.

Revision Notes Over Main Notes: A Practical Study Choice

Many students believe that first and second year subjects must be revised from full main notes. However, time did not allow that luxury.

“Bahut log kehte the first aur second year important hai INI CET aur AIIMS ke liye, par mere paas utna time nahi tha.”

So, he chose a smarter and more focused approach.

“Toh maine sirf revision notes aur MCQ solving pe focus kiya.”

Instead of trying to study everything, Dr. Raj focused on what he could revise properly. His goal was not to read more, but to remember better.

“Shuru ke 4–5 mahine maine revision notes aur PYQs solve kiye.”

His preparation followed a clear and repeatable pattern that suited his schedule.

“Pehle questions karta tha, phir unse related notes revise karta tha. Ye meri main strategy thi.”

Revising only the relevant topics afterwards improved retention and saved time, making this strategy especially effective during hectic internship days when study hours were limited.

Was Focusing Only on MCQs a Risk or a Strength?

As the exam came closer, the workload increased even more. Managing multiple revisions along with MCQ practice became difficult.

Initially, Dr. Raj felt unsure about leaving repeated revisions behind.

“Lagta tha ki MCQs ke chakkar mein kuch extra cheezein bhool raha hoon.”

But with time, he noticed a powerful advantage.

“MCQs jo main solve kar raha tha, woh memory mein chipak jaate the.”

“Baar-baar revise karne ki zarurat hi nahi padti thi.”

This approach helped him build strong recall, even during exhausting posting days.

From Stagnant Scores to a Strong Finish Before the Exam

During the hectic posting months, his GT scores did not improve much.

“GT score improve nahi ho raha tha, wahi stuck tha.”

However, once September ended, he quickly adjusted his strategy.

“September ke baad maine ek baar revision notes revise kiye.”

The final phase was all about consistency and discipline.

“Phir 12–15 din tak daily GT dene laga, aur try karta tha ki same day solve aur analyse kar paun.”

This phase helped him regain confidence and build exam readiness, a crucial step towards securing AIR 79 in NEET PG.

Starting with Discipline: Making Daily GTs a Habit

Dr. Raj’s preparation began with building discipline. Instead of studying randomly, he made Grand Tests a daily routine and focused strongly on analysing them properly.

“Maine daily GT diya aur try kiya ki ek hi din mein main solve bhi kar paun aur analyse bhi kar paun poori GT ko.”

PW’s regular GTs helped him create a structured routine where testing and learning went hand in hand from the very beginning.

Realising the Real Problem: Weak Concepts, Not Silly Mistakes

As preparation progressed, Dr. Raj realised that his mistakes were not random. The issue was deeper. His concepts were not strong enough, especially in some core subjects.

“Ma’am, silly mistakes toh nahi… mere concepts hi kam the shayad.”

“Ortho mein bhi mujhe itna exposure nahi tha.”

“Anatomy ya first year mein bhi maine itna achha nahi padha tha, isliye anatomy ke concepts bhi strong nahi the.”

Accepting this truth became a turning point in his journey.

How PW Lectures Helped Fix Core Subjects?

Once he identified his weak areas, Dr. Raj turned to PW’s lectures to rebuild his fundamentals. The teaching style helped him understand concepts clearly rather than memorising facts.

“Sudha ma’am ke lectures dekhe the ortho ke liye, usse mere concepts achhe ho gaye the.”

“Anatomy mein Dr Pradeep sir 3D models ke saath padhate hain, toh then it’s easier to grasp.”

PW’s concept-based and visual teaching made difficult topics easier and more retainable.

Choosing Coverage Over Aggressive MCQ Practice

During this phase, Dr. Raj made a conscious decision about his preparation style. Instead of rushing towards aggressive MCQ solving, he focused on completing the syllabus properly.

“Us time mera focus nahi tha ki main aggressively MCQs solve karun.”

“Plan yeh tha ki pehle main videos dekhoon, taaki last mein aisa na ho ki kuch bilkul hi pata na ho.”

“Internship mein main videos wapas dekhne ka time nahi milta.”

PW’s well-structured main videos helped him ensure that no topic felt completely new later.

Revising Concepts Even Close to the Exam

As the exam came closer, revision became more intense. Even though he could not revise everything perfectly, concept clarity continued to help him.

“Exam ke ek din pehle bhi main surgery revise kar raha tha.”

“Poora revise nahi ho paya tha.”

“Par concept se help hoti hai, kyunki agar waise questions bhi aaye jo solve nahi kiye ho, toh mind mein hit karta hai ki haan yeh suna hua hai.”

“Toh lagta hai ki answer shayad yehi hona chahiye.”

This shows why PW’s focus on understanding concepts plays a big role in the exam.

Improving Scores by Focusing on Weak Subjects

At this stage, Dr. Raj refined his strategy further. Instead of spending time on subjects he was already good at, he worked on bringing his weaker subjects up.

“Mera main focus tha ki weak subjects upar aaye.”

“Top subjects waise bhi top mein rehte the, chahe main zyada time doon ya nahi.”

This smart prioritisation helped him use his limited time effectively.

Deep GT Analysis: Finding the Real Reason Behind Mistakes

Dr. Raj did not stop at checking scores. He deeply analysed his incorrect questions to understand the exact reason behind every mistake.

“Agar 60 questions incorrect ho rahe the, toh main dekhta tha ki kaunse bilkul unknown the.”

“Kaunse recall error the — padha tha par yaad nahi aaya.”

“Aur kaunse approach error the — yaad tha par question samajhne mein galti ho gayi.”

“Silly mistakes waise zyada nahi ho rahi thi, sirf 3–4 questions.”

Based on this analysis, he changed his strategy subject-wise, i.e., more MCQs, more revision, or deeper reading when required.

The Mindset That Carried Him Through the Toughest Phase
Every serious NEET PG journey reaches a phase where effort continues, but results seem stuck. For Dr. Raj, this phase came just before the finish line. Despite consistent preparation, there were moments of self-doubt and emotional fatigue.

“Kabhi-kabhi low feel hota tha ki marks stuck ho gaye hain.”

This phase tested patience more than preparation. The only option was to keep moving forward, even when motivation dipped.

“Par finally… you have to keep pushing despite that.”

“Ma’am, consistency is the key.”

As the exam approached, pressure naturally increased. Like most aspirants, Dr. Raj felt the weight of incomplete revision just a day before the paper.

“Exam se ek din pehle main kaafi stress mein tha.”
“Socha tha itna revision complete karke jaunga, par wo complete nahi ho paya.”
“Waise bhi yeh padhai never-ending hai.”

Instead of letting anxiety take control, he consciously chose calm. A simple conversation with his friend helped reset his mindset. Rather than obsessing over the exam, he focused on what came after it, a small mental trick that helped him stay relaxed.

“Bas yeh soch raha tha ki exam ke baad trip pe jaana hai.”

Inside the exam hall, this calm reflected in his strategy. He prioritised accuracy over blind attempts and stayed disciplined throughout the paper.

“First section mein 7 questions chhoot gaye.”
“Jab tak do-teen options rule out nahi kar paata, tab tak main tukka nahi maarta.”

This clarity, knowing when not to attempt, helped him avoid negative marking and maintain control till the very end.

Securing AIR 79 in NEET PG in the first attempt was not about shortcuts or luck. It was about clear concepts, smart strategy, emotional balance, and consistency, all supported by Physics Wallah’s structured guidance.

Dr. Raj’s journey is proof that when preparation follows the right order and mindset, success follows too.
