MCH exams are not easy to qualify. Lots of Questions are based on Surgical Anatomy. Embryology forms an important part of MCH Exams. Development of normal structures and developmental Anomalies are very frequently asked and are examiners favorites.
Going through the previous years of MCH question papers, it has been noticed a big chunk of questions are from embryology. It is not only cases, clinical scenarios and treatment modalities which are always asked.
Emphasis on fundamental concepts of applied anatomy and embryology is there and that makes reading anatomy and embryology more prudent.
High competition is there for all Mch branches and Aspiring surgeons looking to qualify NEET Mch are finding it tougher and more competitive.
Our experts focus more on the latest developments. We need to update and seek maximum inputs for the students to qualify with better merit.

These happen to be most important from perspective of Pediatric surgery, Urology , General surgery, Neurosurgery, Surgical gastroenterology and other subjects.
The students need to focus on all such topics and need to have complete knowledge of these topics. Underprepared students don’t fare well. It needs a good effort on part of students to prepare well. For embryology reading main points from Langmans embryology or Keith L moore should suffice. We recommend Mch aspirants to take Embryology and defects in Embryogenesis seriously and possess and acquire conceptual knowledge about types of topics mentioned above for their success.
