Het Shah<\/strong> currently studying in AIIMS<\/strong>, a small town boy from Nadiad District who achieved the long awaited aspiration of becoming a Neurosurgeon by securing AIR 4 Rank in the AIIMS MBBS 2016 exam<\/strong>.\u00a0Unlike others, He did not believe in the marathon studies where students prepare nonstop for 12-13 hours. He emphasized on 6 hours of diligent study schedule. Also, in 2015 he secured\u00a0AIR 6 in Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KYPY) a scholarship program by the Department of Science and Technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. How has your family supported you throughout the preparation period?<\/h3>\n

My father, Sanjay Shah, is a businessman, whereas my mother Swati Shah is a homemaker. They have been with me through thick and thin just like any other parents. My dad inspired me to give my best and not worry about the result just like any stern father, but my mom the soft one, on the other hand, was there as an emotional support. My family and friends played a vital role in my success, as you know success cannot be produced by the student alone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

2. Can you tell us about your preparation methods that you would like to share with future aspirants?<\/h3>\n

I started with strengthening my basic concepts with the help of NCERT core books, which I went over and over again until I could visualize each and every page in my mind. I would like to emphasize on NCERT biology book<\/strong>, which is really helpful. Personally, I don\u2019t believe in marathon studies if not done with regularity. You need to be consistent with the number of hours you put in every day<\/strong>. I followed a 6 hours schedule every day as I believe regularity in my studies was the key to my success.<\/p>\n

3. What is the one most important technique that you think helped you secure the rank?<\/h3>\n

I was just about to say that one of the most important techniques that I religiously followed was the visualization method. I visualized myself sitting in the exam hall, taking the AIIMS entrance repeatedly. To be honest, I had dreams of appearing for AIIMS, so it was like before the actual exam I had taken the exam over 100 times. So, this method really helped me keep my calm during the medical entrance exam.<\/p>\n

So right that even in your sleep you are able to answer them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. Do you believe in the coaching system? Is it helpful?<\/h3>\n
