The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will conduct the re-test for All-India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT) 2015 on 25th July, 2015 for admission to MBBS and BDS courses for the academic session 2015-16.

This national-level undergraduate medical entrance exam is being held for the 15% merit positions in all medical and dental colleges of India, except in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir.

AIPMT is a three-hour examination consisting of one paper containing 180 objective type questions (four options with single correct answer) from Physics, Chemistry and Biology.

There are also state governments/universities/institutions voluntarily participating in the examination to use its merit list for admissions.

The CBSE will prepare a list of successful candidates of on the basis of the eligibility criteria provided by the Medical Council of India.

Aakash Chaudhry, director, Aakash Educational Services Ltd, has offered some advice to candidates on how they can crack each section.

“While attempting the Physics section, start with questions based on the Class 12 syllabus first followed by questions on mechanical properties of solids and fluids, heat and sound. Attempt questions based on the topic mechanics last of all. Candidates can skip lengthy questions in the first attempt. For instance, questions on Newton’s laws or rotational dynamics can be dealt with later. Also, if numerical values are not very close to the options given, go for a quick and approximate calculation,” he says.

Students should spend maximum time on revising formulae. Candidates should also revise all graphs available in the NCERT book, especially in the chapter on semiconductor electronics.

“For Chemistry, start with those questions which are direct and don’t involve lengthy calculations. Even if you find the initial questions difficult, don’t panic as there will be easy questions too. Read the statements of the questions carefully. Read all the options before marking the answers. The chapter on chemical bonding is the most important of all in physical chemistry. Coordination compounds, the ‘d and f block’ elements are important chapters in inorganic chemistry. Reaction intermediates, inductive and electromeric effects should not be left out in organic chemistry,” suggests Chaudhry.

Students must revise the syllabus keeping in mind the weightage given to each portion. Special emphasis should be given to the diagrams in Biology.

Some of the important topics are human physiology, biomolecules, genetics and biotechnology. Leave the lengthy questions as well as questions based on numericals for the end, adds Chaudhry.
