Though mentioned as preparatory manual of
medicine for undergraduates, it is actually
preparatory manual for medicine postgraduates
also. Depth of knowledge is very high especially in
speciality topics. It is a comprehensive collection of
monograms and standard individual text books.
Clinical content added in each speciality
makes the book preparatory manual for both
theory and practicals.
It covers most of the probable Viva questions which
can be asked during practicals. Information in the
form of tables and pictorials is extraordinary edge
for students for understanding the subject and for
reproducing in the exams.
Dilema about the source to study certain
subspecialties like infectious diseases,
dermatology, toxicology, psychiatry has been
solved. These topics can be exclusively studied
from this book.
Highlights
1. Depth of the subject
2. lucid language
3. pictorials and tables
4. clinical pearls

First of all, this is a book not just for undergraduates
but for postgraduates as well. The content is very
well organized, colorful, salient features have been
highlighted and key features were tabulated
making it easy to grasp and student friendly. This
book is far better than George Mathew,
Davidson and can consider it as a mini Indian
Harrison based on its content and the way it
has been presented and being up to date. It can
be very useful for entrance preparation as well with
the way salient features have been highlighted and
with the inclusion of lots of relevant
numericals and new drugs makes it useful for
NEET exam questions which contains lot of
numerical based questions and drugs related.
I recently got my MD degree and to be frank, I
hardly read Harrison and I prefer reading this
book which is up-to-date and student friendly
and a ready reckoner for exams.
Thank u sir for this wonderful book and hoping to
see more books from you especially practical based
books in nearby future.

Sir, I have read your book exam preparatory manual
for undergraduates "Medicine". It is an amazingly
concise and very informative book. This book
helped me a lot in preparing for postgraduate
exam where time is a concern to finish all the
topics of interest for examiners.
Not only that, this book covers even the clinical
aspects and methodology side by side which makes
it extremely handy and student friendly and easy to
remember .
The bold fonts in this books are so beautifully
projected that reading those bold font alone is
very helpful too especially one day before
exam.
Thanks a million for writing such a wonderful book
sir. Honestly, I recommend all the postgraduates
and undergraduates to read from this book
Dr. Shah Alam, MBBS,MD

Respected sir, I am a final year student of Medical

congratulate you for bringing out this wonderful
book on medicine. It's been a boon for me before the
final MB exam. The book contains every detail
required for the exam. I pray to God for its success.
Mr. Mohit Kumar Dutta
MBBS Student

The book is presented in the best possible ways, it
is much helpful during exams when we have to
revise superficially. We don't have to read each and
every line as everything is beautifully highlighted
and mentioned in tabular format as well. Also, the
colorful presentation draws our attention.
According to me, this is the best possible book
someone can revise even during exams which
is not true in other cases where books have too
much of theory.
Mr. Ashish Chandwani

Hello sir, I am studying in final yr. MBBS in IGMC,

Lucid book to read with data well-presented and
important points are highlighted. Easy to remember
topics are given, with explanation as needed.
Overall, a great book to read and remember.
Mr. Akshay khatri
BJ Medical College, Ahmedabad
It is an adequate and enough single theory book for
the university examination. Currently UG
students are following George Mathew's book,
which I felt little boring because of its
monotonous pages and color. In Boloor, the
layout and the color of the book is attractive.
Geriatric Dermatology is made easy for exam
purpose.
Mr. Harish

Cardiovascular system, central nervous

and above average students.
Mr. Praveen Kumar

The content is arranged in easy way to review
format. Clinical components and methods are
useful for the practical examination, provided
throughout the chapter. PG oriented points are
also mentioned.
Ms. Sreelakshmi
Student, Stanley Medical College, Chennai
This book is an excellent resource for the
preparation of final MBBS exam. It is also
invaluable to aspirants preparing for PG
entrance exam and other post-graduate exams
(USMLE, PLAB, MRCP, AMC examinations,
NZREX). It serves as a handy and quick
reference for post-graduate trainees in
Internal Medicine and practicing physicians. I
thoroughly recommend it.
Dr. Venkat Ramesh
MBBS, MD (Internal Medicine), MRCP (UK )

A very good prep manual for undergraduates. The
main advantage is that key points are
highlighted, which is easy to revise the day
before exam. Management guidelines have
been updated and questions from previous
university exams are covered. The book is in
question and answer format. There is separate
section on Geriatrics. Thank you
Dr. Prajwal Pai MBBS
Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore
Boloor & Nayak's Exam Prep Medicine contains
everything an undergraduate student of medicine
would want to read before exam. It contains
comprehensive information in compact boxes and
figures that make it a ready reckoner before the
examination.
Colorful presentation of this book attracts us
to read instead of black & white book of
Mathew. In this book, key points are highlighted
for easy revision during exam time, whereas
Mathew doesn't have highlighted key points so
we face difficulties during revision in exam
time. Exclusive coverage of high yielding points
is important for answering MCQs.
Ms. Partha Patel
Third Final MBBS

From exam point of view, I found this book (Exam
Preparatory Manual for UG: Medicine) very useful
and good one. Everything is arranged so well and
attractive. Lots of tables and charts are given
which makes it easier to read, understand and
remember the topic.
It is given in question-answer pattern.
Answers cover every important aspect of the
topic. Color pattern makes it reader-friendly
and attractive. Surely, it will help much in theory
exams.

It is my immense pleasure to write a review for the
book Exam preparatory manual for undergraduates
medicine, This book covers all the aspects of general
medicine, useful not only for undergraduates but
also for post graduates.
My best teacher Dr. Archith has written this
book in a lucid style with clear concepts. This
has really helped me in passing my
postgraduate exams; it helped a lot during
revision and remembering the points. It
contains clear diagrams and flowcharts which
helped in better understanding of the topics. Overall
a great book by a great teacher. I would like to
recommend this book to all my juniors.
Dr. Holla Subraya Krishna, MBBS, MD
Senior Resident, Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore
I am doing my internship now. I read it during my
final MBBS days. First of all, the presentation
of chapters according to system is very
appropriate. The questions & answers are very
much elaborative and full of information
referenced from Harrison. The colorful
presentation is also helpful to memorise. The
clinical type answers are the best part of it.
In a nutshell, it covers almost all things in a
chapter that can be given in prof exams. I have
already recommended this book to all my
beloved juniors.
Mr. Himanshu Singha
Intern, Medical College, kolkata
What a great book! First complete book of medicine
for UG students, we are reading it so easily. It's
very useful in clearing many our concepts and
doubts. A combination of Harrison, Davidson
and Clinical medicine...Thanks Jaypee
Mr. Ankit Trivedi
Government Medical College, Bhavnagar, Gujarat
My favourite chapters in this book are
Neurology and Cardiology, wherein the most
difficult concepts are explained in an easy to
grasp way. Important points under a topic are
compiled systematically for ready reference.
High yielding points are highlighted, color
coded and presented in the form of flowcharts
and tables which makes it easier to understand,
retain and reproduce in the exams.
This book serves as the single best reference for
theory as well as practical topics and hence by
far, the best prep manual, especially for
students like me, who like to read from a single
book rather than to refer many books.

It is a great pleasure and honor to write a short
review of this wonderful book written by one of our
medical fraternity, Dr.Archit Boloor, a brilliant
award winning medical student himself and a
dedicated medical teacher. The title, 'Exam
Preparatory Manual for Undergraduates Medicine'
is a misnomer as it will also serve the purpose of
Post-graduates and General practitioners. It
will help immensely preparing for MBBS, MD,
DNB, FCPS and MRCP examinations.
This small but comprehensive exam-oriented and
student–friendly book is a sine qua non for theory,
practical and viva voce parts of any examination.
Keeping in view of the ever-increasing
advancement of medical science, the book has
included many clinical and schematic diagrams
besides exhaustive causes, physical findings,
investigations and treatment for every clinical
case. That is the reason it is one of the best
book presently available in the medical
education market.
I wish a grand success to all exam-goers. In fine,
I congratulate the authors for their untiring efforts
in preparing this superb book with latest
references.

It is a very good preparatory manual for exams
with dynamic description and extensive use of
multiple colors, tables and flowcharts. Precise,
to-the-point content with high relevance and
encompassing all the vital information needed.
Lucid language makes the book easy to read and
digest. Authenticity of the content is at par with the
gold standard textbooks of medicine. All in all, it is
a student friendly version of Harrison and a
ready-made comprehensive stuff for exams.

The book puts across every aspect needed for the
undergraduate course in a clear and lucid manner.
The book also provides additional information
providing in depth information regarding each topic
making it adequate for PG preparations.
Dr. Suraj Kumar MBBS
Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore
I myself being a student of our dearest and young
dynamic teacher can tell with 100 percent
confidence that Dr. Archith Boloor is one of the
best teachers in the field of medical speciality. It
is of no surprise that he has come up with the text
book 'Exam preparatory manual for undergraduates-
in medicine', a perfect blend of all the topics in
medicine, a book which I feel was written after
reading the minds of thousands of his students,
filling it with exactly what is required for us whilst
making sure that it's not Greek and Latin. I found that
this book covers all the relevant topics in a detailed
and simplified manner covering all the standard
references. Especially at the time of exams, this
manual was very helpful for me to brush through
all the relevant topics. What makes this manual
unique is that it has explained most of the
complex topics in an easily understandable
language so that students will not miss on the
concepts. I highly recommend this book for all
the MBBS undergraduates and also the
medicine post graduates.

Mr. Suhail P. B.
Govt. Medical College Ernakulam, Kerala
This book is a perfect solution for exam preparation
in the subject of medicine where we used to refer a
lot of books for an answer which could fetch good
scores in the examination. Not only does the book
aid us in facing the exam well, but it also provides
the knowledge needed for a good MBBS doctor
through its up-to-date guidelines and the
recent advances which were lacking in
preparatory manuals published before. Book
appears extensive in the beginning, but is
compensated with amazing algorithms, tables
and diagrams. According to me, this book is a
perfect combination of a textbook and an exam
preparatory manual.
Dr. Shodhan Aithal, MBBS

This book is written in a simple and lucid

Maximum possible information along with recent

An extremely well presented book, written by
one of the best mentors I have ever had. One of
the most exhaustive and beautifully explained
resources I have come across as a prep manual
for medicine. I especially enjoyed the
Neurology and Cardiology sections. The
psychiatry, dermatology and Immunology
sections are also more thoroughly explained
than most of the other medical textbooks I
have read. Tables and diagrams of this book
are unlike any other prep manual help develop
fundamental concepts in understanding the
pathophysiology of diseases, something that
could only be gained by using multiple reference
books.
This book is a must buy for all medical students
both undergraduates as well as postgraduates.
Eagerly awaiting the next edition!
Dr. Mishaal Talish MBBS

First attraction of the book is its appearance and
presentation; colorful, included many tables
structured answering style. No need to refer
multiple books.
Certain areas have been extensively elaborated,
which make us very intimidating to read especially
when reading for exams. For example table
no.15.40. Flowcharts are easy to understand and
remember. I totally love this book because they
have given the reasons behind each fact.

Also question wise topics will help during exams to
