There is hardly a sincere post grad seat pursuer who has not had moments of self doubt and introspection when sitting in from of the web wondering to themselves if this indeed was the best use of their time. Anvita Pauranik (Rank 1, AIPGE 2009) told us that she took "digital sanyaas" for an year. Rahul Hegde (Rank 22, AIPGE 2009) advocated careful use of internet to supplement knowledge. Ajit Goenka (Rank 1, AIIMS 2007) stressed on the fact that internet can be a double edged sword. The fundamental question is can the resources on internet match or make up for the traditional sources like age old wisdom and age old notes passed on by seniors, coaching classes, like minded study group and question bank and books? What if one doesn't have the traditional means? Will it work? Can a person score a top rank without having access to traditional means or choosing not to use this but make the world wide web their peer group and resource? Why wouldn't anyone have access to this you ask? Lets picture who would this be. Ideally such a person would belong to the first batch of a brand new medical college in a very small town far from any traditional educational hub. Can we find someone like that to ask how they did 'it'? Fortunately we did!

Nijalingappa Medical College, Bagalkot, Karnatka who secured rank 23 in AIPGE 2009 and Rank 1 in AFMC, Pune 2009 without access to any of the traditional resources. In addition his rank in Karnatka CET was 12 and AIIMS Medical PG Entrance Exam was 198. Read his complete interview to know how internet can be a game changer for people who are traditionally disadvantaged in the highly competitive world of post graduate medical entrance exams. As they say, not anybody with a bow and arrow is an archer....
