i am first year bds student.how should i begin preparation for mds (neet pg) entrance test.is there any online coaching which i can join for better preparation.pls guide me.
.
Yes there are many coaching institutes in India who offer online coaching ,test series ,video lectures etc.But first year is too early to start preparation for mds as you have just started with your course.What you can do now is focus on your first year subjects,develop concepts,make notes and do MCQs from a good book like Dental Pulse side by side.Do the same in Second year and then when you reach Third year join an online coaching academy and start giving online tests.Your preparation should be at its peak in your Final year and Internship period.These two years are most important for mds entrance exam preparation.Give your 100% in these two years before the exam.
All the best for your future.
