NEET PG 2025 Topper Dr. Ovesh Lala Success Story: How PW Helped Him Secure AIR 1301

For Dr. Ovesh Lala, NEET PG preparation started during his internship in March 2024. With some first- and second-year subjects being weaker for him, he focused on repeated revisions, PYQs, and regular testing rather than relying on a single reading of the syllabus. PW’s NEET PG resources supported his preparation, helping him follow a focused approach to revision, MCQ practice, and test-taking.

Despite hectic internship duties, he adapted his plan, eventually completing six revisions and increasing his study time to 10–12 hours a day after his internship. His preparation included main notes, revision notes, PYQs, Grand Tests, daily MCQ practice, and concise handwritten notes for topics he frequently forgot. This consistent approach helped him secure AIR 1301 in NEET PG 2025 in his first attempt, with Medicine as his preferred branch.

Dr. Ovesh Lala Started NEET PG Preparation with PW During Internship

Ovesh started preparing for NEET PG in March 2024, alongside his internship. He used PW’s NEET PG preparation resources and planned to complete at least four revisions. He felt that some first- and second-year subjects were weaker than his final-year subjects.

He said:

“Mera initial plan tha to complete minimum four revisions. Kai subjects mere weak the, first and second year basic subjects weak the... final year subjects strong the for me, medicine, surgery.”

He initially planned to complete his first reading in four months. However, hectic internship duties made that difficult.

“During internship duties hectic thi, so I did not complete my first in four months. I completed it in six months.”

He eventually completed his first reading in November and continued with his next revision until March 2025.

Ovesh Increased His Study Hours After Internship

After completing his internship, Ovesh became more serious about his preparation as the exam approached. He increased his study time to 10–12 hours every day.

His focus was on repeated revisions rather than simply completing the syllabus once. By the time he appeared for NEET PG, he had completed six revisions.

For Ovesh, revision was one of the most important parts of preparation.

“Revision is like 50% of your NEET PG preparation. And the more number of revisions you are able to do, the better rank you will get.”

His strategy shows the importance of starting revision early instead of waiting until the syllabus is completely finished.

Ovesh Used Main Notes and Revision Notes Strategically

Ovesh did not follow the same resource for every subject. For major or weaker subjects, he preferred main notes, while he shifted to revision notes during later revisions.

He explained:

“For short subjects I will go for revision notes, and for major subjects I have to go through main notes.”

He also focused on subjects according to his strengths. Strong subjects received less time, while weaker subjects received additional days.

PYQs Were an Important Part of His Preparation

Ovesh used Previous Year Questions (PYQs) to understand important topics and identify what was actually being asked in the examination.

During his first reading, he focused mainly on PYQs rather than immediately starting a large question bank.

“First reading mein toh PYQ hi kiya tha, only PYQ. Bank ko maine touch bhi nahi kiya tha.”

He also studied the options and explanations instead of focusing only on the correct answer. He believed that the incorrect options could also contain important information that might be tested later.

Ovesh Started Grand Tests Early

Ovesh gave his first Grand Test in March 2024. Initially, he was unsure about taking GTs because his syllabus was incomplete, but he realised that waiting until the entire syllabus was finished was not practical.

“Mera first Grand Test March mein hi tha. Baseline GT maine de diya ki kahan pe main stand kar raha hoon.”

Initially, he took one GT every month. After November, he increased the frequency to every 15 days and later shifted to weekly tests closer to the examination.

He Practised 100 MCQs Every Day

Ovesh also used custom modules for daily MCQ practice. Initially, he solved questions from the subject he was revising. Later, he started mixing questions from different subjects.

His aim was to develop the ability to quickly switch between topics, just as students need to do during the actual examination.

He said:

“March ke baad maine saare subjects ke saath start kar diya... Ophthalmology ka question aaya, uske baad turant ENT ka question aaya, toh mind shift ho jaana chahiye.”

Ovesh Created Concise Handwritten Notes

One of the key parts of Ovesh’s strategy was creating short handwritten notes containing topics he repeatedly forgot.

Instead of rewriting everything, he identified his weak points through tests and revisions and wrote only those topics.

“Jo jo cheez main bhool raha tha, wohi sab maine likh di ki last day mujhe ye dekh ke jaana hai.”

For some subjects, his concise notes were only a few pages long, while larger subjects had around 40–50 pages.

Ovesh Used the Final 15 Days for Focused Revision

Ovesh planned his final preparation well in advance. He divided the last 20 days into 15 days of completing all subjects and five days of rapid revision.

“Mera plan tha 15 days mein all subjects complete karna, and last five days mein four to five subjects every day.”

His concise notes made this possible. Instead of returning to lengthy study material, he revised the topics that were most likely to slip from his memory.

INI-CET Became a Reality Check

Ovesh also appeared for INI-CET and secured around AIR 4000. Initially, he was disappointed, but the result helped him identify a major problem: silly mistakes caused by not taking the exam seriously.

“Mujhe pata chala ki maine bahut saari silly mistakes kar di, kyunki mera behaviour exam ke dauran aisa tha ki ye toh hum aise hi de rahe hain.”

This experience became a confidence boost and taught him to take every competitive exam seriously.

Dr. Ovesh Lala Secured AIR 1301 in NEET PG 2025

After months of preparation, six revisions, regular GTs, PYQs, MCQs, and concise notes, Ovesh appeared for NEET PG 2025.

He secured AIR 1301 in his first attempt.

When asked about the result, he said:

“Abhi mujhe lag raha hai ki abhi main dream mein hi hoon. Mujhe koi utha dega abhi.”

Ovesh also had a clear preference for Medicine and had prepared with the goal of pursuing the branch from the beginning.
