Starting the Journey: The First Attempt
He completed MBBS from AIIMS Rishikesh (Batch of 2019), finishing his internship in December 2024. His first attempt was INI CET in November 2024.
When the notification came, he had only two months to prepare.
With limited time, he focused on major clinical subjects and revision of fresh final-year topics. He purchased the BTR subscription in September and used it to finish minor subjects and biochemistry through the BTR videos.
With just two months and internship duties running parallel, he secured a rank around 3000 in his first INI CET attempt.
Restarting With Clarity After Internship
After finishing his internship in December, Dr. Harshit began his serious preparation in February.
He prioritised:
- Final-year subjects
- Pathology & Pharmacology
- Integrated BTR content for Medicine, Surgery, PSM, OBG
- Rapid Revision for multiple subjects
In this phase, he focused only on content. Test discussions weren’t possible because he needed to cover all 19 subjects first.
He consistently took GTs—ever since September of his first attempt—scoring 116–117 correct in the beginning. His base was already strong.
PYQs Over QBank: A Smart Strategy
By May INI CET, he had solved almost all PYQs, though he couldn’t complete the full QBank.
His May INI CET rank: 531.
A significant jump from his earlier 3000s.
Turning Point in His Life: BTR Mock GT & Bootcamp at Vidya Jeevan
When NEET got postponed, Dr. Harshit joined the 4-day Mock GT BTR Program, which introduced him to the Bootcamp at Vidya Jeevan.
That changed everything.
He decided immediately—before the NEET result even came out—that he would join the bootcamp for November INI CET. And he did.
What Bootcamp Gave Him: Competitive Push & Mentorship
After NEET, he shifted from Bhopal to Varanasi, and from there directly to Noida for the bootcamp.
He knew his weak point—he needed competition. And the bootcamp delivered exactly that.
The competitive environment, the weekly 200-MCQ tests, the computer-based format, the intense discussions—all of it helped him desensitise to exam tension. Every GT became “just another test.”
He was consistently in the Top 10 of every assessment.
The Power of MCQ-Heavy Practice
Post-NEET PG, Dr. Harshit went extremely MCQ-heavy:
- Every subject test
- Every GT
- Bootcamp Mock Test on 31st October
- Regular weekly GTs
He fine-tuned his content through relentless question practice. That, he says, is what pushed his rank into single digits.
Mentorship That Makes a Difference
- A highlight of his journey was the constant support from Dr. Ravi Sir.
- From the very first test at boot camp, Dr. Ravi Sir monitored his progress, checked on him every second or third day, and kept pushing him with faith and confidence.
- Dr. Harshit shares how motivating it felt that someone believed so strongly in his ability.
- “When someone is confident about your abilities, your own confidence grows,” Dr. Zainab adds—and Harshit agrees wholeheartedly.
From 523 to Rank 5 – The Leap That Feels Impossible
- His NEET PG rank was 523—already great—but transforming that into Rank 5 in INI CET is extraordinary.
- Removing two digits from your rank is not easy. But removing two digits to reach a single digit is something else entirely.
- Dr. Harshit made the “unimaginable” happen.
