Important Preparation Point

INI-CET preparation should not be limited to memorising individual facts. Questions may test:

• Clinical application
• Image-based concepts
• Integrated subjects
• Diagnosis
• Treatment principles
• Pharmacology
• Pathology correlations
• Anatomy-based clinical situations
• Microbiology and infection-related concepts
• Previous-year concepts

Candidates should therefore combine concept revision + question practice + image-based revision + mock tests.
