AIPMt 2015 toPPeR InteRVIew: How VIPul GARG ACHIeVeD AIR 1

success comes only with hard work and per-severance” says Vipul Garg who bagged 1st position in AIPMT 2015 by scoring 695 out of 720. The topper from Jind, Haryana had

already secured AIR 4 in JIPMER and AIR 51 in AIIMS MBBS.

Right after AIPMT 2015 result declaration on August 17, Careers360 interviewed Vipul Garg. He comes from a humble family background. His father runs a shop and his mother is a home maker. His talent, how-ever, brought him various scholarships which facili-tated his studies and journey to his MBBS dreams.

An avid fan of Lionel Messi, Vipul loves soccer and enjoys outdoor games. Though he regularly interacted

with his friends and discussed with them preparation related doubts, he kept away from social media like Facebook. Read the full interview below to know more about Vipul Garg, his hobbies and what brought him AIR 1 in AIPMT 2015 re-test.

Excerpts from the interview:Careers360: Congratulations for your outstanding performance in AIPMT 2015 bagging AIR 1! How did you celebrate your success?Vipul Garg: Thank you so much! The credit of AIR 1 goes to my parents, teachers and one of my relatives Dr. Suresh Jain, who is my mentor. This achievement would never have been possible without their support and guidance.

Careers360:Were you sure of cracking the coveted









medical entrance exam? How did you make it possible?Vipul Garg: Honestly, I was confident to crack AIPMT but bagging AIR 1 was not even in my dream. To become a topper in any prestigious national level exam, you need to put endless effort with perseverance. I am happy that my hard work has finally paid off and it brought cheers to me and my family.

Careers360: Tell us something about your family.Vipul Garg: My father is a shopkeeper and my mother, a homemaker. Both my parents were very supportive all through my preparation phase. They always motivated and stood by me, whenever I needed them.

Careers360: What is your score in AIPMT 2015? Please also share section wise score.Vipul Garg: My overall score in AIPMT 2015 is 695 out of 720, where I scored 170 in Chemistry, 175 in Physics and 350 in Biology.

Careers360: What is your rank in other medical entrance exams apart from AIPMT 2015?Vipul Garg: I have secured following ranks in different medical exams.

Careers360: What was your preparation strategy for AIPMT 2015?Vipul Garg: I followed a strict and strategic routine while preparing for AIPMT. I studied 7 to 8 hours per day. My self-study hours generally began at night after 10 pm and continued till 3 am.I worked on the areas where I felt weak and focused more on

strengthening the strong areas. I kept on revising chapters, to clarify the concepts of the studied topics. Careers360: Did you take mock test and did it help you in AIPMT preparation?Vipul Garg: Yes, I took a lot of mock tests. Regular mock tests helped me to re-craft my preparation strategy as per my ability to solve questions.After each mock test, I used to analyse the time taken to solve the paper and what could be the possible change in my paper-solving strategy to maximise accuracy while keeping the number of attempts high.I had done well in most of my mock tests. It fuelled my con-fidence in the actual examination. Careers360: Now that you have bagged AIR 1 in AIPMT, what do you think was the key factor behind your spectacular performance?Vipul Garg: The key factor of my success is my hard work, perseverance and dedication for my dream of becoming doctor.Besides my teachers’ guidance, I used to revise the topics at night during my self-study which I was taught in classroom. Whenever, I faced any problem, I noted it down and dis-cussed the same with my teachers the day after. Careers360: Which subject was the easiest and which was the toughest according to you during the prepara-tion period? Vipul Garg: Physics and Chemistry are two of my favour-ite subjects and I love to study them. Despite being a Biology student, I found it to be toughest for me especially Human and Plant Physiology sections. Careers360:Do you think coaching is necessary to crack AIPMT of other medical entrance exams?Vipul Garg: I think coaching can be helpful as it guides in cracking the exam. The study materials are well crafted based on the prescribed syllabus, helping you in preparation.

JIPMeR MBBs 2015 AIR 4

IPu Cet MBBs 2015 AIR 15

AIIMs MBBs 2015 AIR 51









Frankly, coaching did help me a lot while preparation but one should not depend on it totally. Along with coaching, one needs to also focus on self-study because at the end it’s your hard work and self-study hours which pay. Careers360: It would have been quite a busy prepara-tion schedule for you. Could you find time to connect with your friends during your preparation?Vipul Garg: I live in hostel so friends were always with me. Though we used to chat but our chat topics revolved around exam topics and doubt clearance. Careers360: Are you active on Facebook or any other social media platform?Vipul Garg: No, I haven’t used Facebook or any other social media platform for two years. I stayed in hostel so didn’t feel the need and found friends at hand who shared the doubts and participated in discussion wherever and whenever required. Careers360: Did you turn to any recreational activity before appearing for AIPMT?Vipul Garg: A day before AIPMT, I visited Qutub Minar. I and my friends spent the complete day in Qutub Minar vicinity.I believe the best way to lose the fear of exam is to do what you love before a day or two from your examination. It was one of the best days of my life.

Careers360: Which is your favourite sport? Do you play any sport?Vipul Garg: I play football and I am a big fan of Lionel Messi. Careers360: Can you tell us who your ideal person is?Vipul Garg: Dr. Suresh Jain is my ideal person who inspired me to become a doctor. He is my relative and helped me a lot during my preparation. He used to suggest me the books and how to prepare for the medical entrances. Careers360: Please share your message for AIPMT aspirants who will be appearing for the entrance exam next year.Vipul Garg: It is important for every medical aspirant to go through NCERT books thoroughly along with other study materials as it helps developing clear concept of the topics. Candidates must devote most of their time towards their studies and focus on every single aspect of the syllabus because no one knows what type of questions may come. Careers360: Which is your preferred medical college and medical branch?Vipul Garg: I am looking forward to grab a seat in prestig-ious Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC). In future, I want to pursue Cardiology or Neuro-science.

Interview excerpts:

Careers360: Congratulations on becoming an AIPMT 2015 Topper? How are you celebrating?Khushi: Thank you. I am very happy and I can’t believe that I am one of the toppers in AIPMT 2015, and also a top-per among the female candidates. I am planning to visit a temple in the evening with my family. I want to thank God for showering me with such huge success.









Careers360: How did you prepare for AIPMT 2015? What were the books that you studied from?Khushi: I followed my coaching experts’ advice and guid-ance. I used to revise each and every topic being taught to me in school as well as in my coaching center. I have found NCERT books to be very simple and helpful, especially in Biology and Physics. I also had my time table prepared and studied accordingly. It is very important to develop a habit of self and sincere study which helps in building the basics as well as strengthen the self-satisfaction.

Careers360: How much time you devoted to your studies during AIPMT 2015 Preparation?Khushi: I did not study for 4 to 5 hours at a stretch. I have always focused on completing my syllabus, which I had decided for myself when I started preparing for the exam. I never tried to cram any formula or concept. Rather, I have always tried to understand the concept. I never decided for how many hours I had to study, but I used to decide what topics I had prepare and revise.

When AIPMT got cancelled, I treated it as another chance of preparing well. After appearing in the exam, I had got to know my weak areas. So during the AIPMT 2015 Retest preparation days, I had worked really hard to convert my weak areas into my strengths.

Careers360: What was the difficulty level of the ques-tions in AIPMT, and strategy during the exam?Khushi: AIPMT is one of the most difficult exams of Medicine. However, I found the exam to be quite easy and simple. Any student who had prepared thoroughly for the exam would have found it to be easy. I did not opt for any strategy in solving the question paper. I kept on solving the questions serial wise. As I solved questions in each section, I maintained my focus and calm. If you would lose your calm

during your performance, you would end up messing your exam.

Careers360: What about your family? How did they support you?Khushi: My parents are Dentists. They inspired me a lot and stood beside me during my preparation days. There was no study pressure from my parent’s side. I feel lucky that my parents have always supported me and helped me in chasing my dream of becoming a doctor.

Careers360: Were you involved in any recreational activity during the exam preparation?Khushi: Yes, I was very much active in recreational activi-ties. Whenever I used to get tired of studies, I used to listen to soft songs on my laptop which have always helped in relax-ing my mind. I also used to go on evening walks to get some fresh air. This way I used to break my monotony of studies and reduce exam tension. These recreational activities have helped me in studying with more fresh and focused mind.

Careers360: What message would you like to give AIPMT aspirants?Khushi: What made me a topper are hard work, focus and passion towards my goal of becoming a doctor. I would give the same suggestions to other aspirants that work hard to follow your dream. Always believe in yourself and treat yourself as your biggest competitor. And remember, “Those who dream the most; do the most”.
