 Welcome to the war room

              Dear friends the war is ahead…the war to cross. MD(Hom) Entrance Kerala. We are living in an era of tough competition. Unless & until you have a well planned strategy you will miss the target. So sharpen the instruments In your armoury and be prepared for the final war to triumph in the examination.. Thousands are appearing for the examination and from that a few will be called for interview. In previous occasions candidates amounting to 5-10 times of the reported vacancies were interviewed. The experiences of the author as well as many selected candidates show that you should have 200 or above correct answer out of 300 questions to get a call for interview.

Analysis of previous question papers show that questions were asked from all the subjects of B.H.M.S course. But maximum questions are asked from Materia medica, Repertory and  Organon of medicine. So the candidates should give more time for these subjects. If you can score well in these subjects half the battle is won. But you should not  neglect other subjects also.

Plenty of MCQ type books and study materials are available especially for allied subjects. But lack of study materials is a major problem with regards to homoeopathic subjects. Students should read the authentic Text books
