Edition : 9
Description :

NEET continued in year 2015, but yes, this time the anxiety of the students for NEET was less. Students looked more settled. The approach of NEET became a little clear. Image-based questions are still to being asked. Most of the questions are direct but require you to be well-versed with the theory. Reading important theory becomes absolutely essential, whether you do it from a textbook or from subjectwise help books, that’s your choice. It now gives me immense pleasure to share with you the new edition of the book. Many changes have been done in the book. Each chapter has been thoroughly revised and updated. All new guidelines have also been incorporated.

� CTG is one of the topics which is generally not very well understood by undergraduate students. With the recent trend
of image-based questions coming in the exam, it becomes important to understand it well. For your convenience in color
plates, I have added important CTG strips along with a user manual.
� Many image-based questions have been added at the end.
� Many new USGs and Doppler images have been given in color plates for last-minute revision.
� All important diagrams on which figure-based questions could be formed are given in color plates.
� All instruments used in obstetrics with their uses have been given in color plates.
� Important specimens of obstetrics are included in color plates.
� Recent questions of AIIMS (November and May 2015) and PGI (May 2015 and November 2014) have been added with their explanations in the respective chapters.
� Along with this edition, I am again providing a live lecture on basics of reproduction and APH to strengthen your fundamental
concepts.
