The three most common misconceptions about AIIMS exams :
1. Only exceptional students get a rank in AIIMS exams.
Explanation: This notion holds good if all of you were asked to appear for an exam the subjects of which you were not taught before. Mind you, AIIMS exam contains the same questions for which you wrote LAQs and SAQs for the last 4-5 years, passed the exams and for which the University gave you a degree & licence to practice. Given a chance, you should be able to open a clinic and run your practice. There are no strange subjects like petrochemicals, economics or astrophysics in AIIMS exams. And do not complain that time is short. All of you have been in race for the last 5 years at least. The time span is so long that all minor discrepancies in IQ that you think of, should have been leveled out by now. See the results of a last few exams, you will find that there have been many surprises...in the end it is anybody's ballgame.
2. Competition is stiff as there are 3-4 seats and thousands of students appear for the exams.
Exlanation: If there are 4 seats for winners, then it doesn't matter whether number of losers is 43 or 430 or 4300. You should be just aiming for those 4 seats. Remember the golden rule of Business - when your focus shifts from consumers to competition, your business suffers. So don't count the number of people appearing, just focus on the number of seats available. Aim for the first rank.
3. In AIIMS, you will be able to solve only the repeat questions, as the new questions are too difficult to solve.
Explanation: A typical "Loser's excuse". As I have written in my previous blog, those students who appear for AIIMS exams with a hope that all questions will be repeated, will never get through. Those who go there with a confidence to "solve" any question, will get a rank. This has been proved time and again. Students who have solved just the previous papers and remembered the correct options given in MCQ books will never be able to solve new questions. Those who have literature backing given in the textbooks will be able to solve any question. This holds good in every exam, so why spread a misconception about AIIMS alone?
