hi Sir, first of all, let me congratulate you for coming out in flying colours in PGMCET. Regarding selection of Optionals, preparation etc., i've gone through the thread started by Dr.Sumitseth and collected some data regarding the material/ books for GS. Coming to me, i'm opting Medical Science and Antrhopology as optionals. As i have plans to attempt Andhra Pradesh PGMET also, Medical Science as optional will place me in a comfortable position and give me an edge in preparation for prelims. Now i'm in final yr and am planning to give a serious attempt in 2008.

here i'm posting the data gathered from other threads, hope it will be of some use to you.

hi Sir, you can view the list of Optionals, scheme of the exam etc., through the following link :

Only RxPG members can see links here! Register or Sign In!

(all you need is to download the prospectus of brilliant tutorials which is in PDF format, it has got a list of Optional subjects, eligibility rules, no. of attempts and the pattern of the examination).

hope it will be of some use to you. the list of books i've given earlier are for GS only.
