    • Rahul Chawla says:

      If u can study by ur self, then NO NEED TO JOIN CRASH COURSES THEY ARE OF NO USE
      For AFMC, read both my books in bio..nothing to do more; learn all the scientific names and classifications characteristics ; and in physics and chem learn all the formulas; in physics and chem learn all the formulas; special emphasis on inorganic compounds name, alloys, organic conversions etc. in chem and thermo, waves, fluid, modern in physics.. do solve past papers for practice. and no need of studying GK rt. now..even if you’ll not study, it would be fine coz GK is not a one day study..better to revise Biology from my books at the last moment rather than studying GK.
      call 9650-457-457 to order..also tell ur friends about my books

  8. Anshuman Handique says:

    • Rahul Chawla says:

Bahadur. also solve past years AFMC papers; especially english section coz it is usually repeated.

      HANDBOOK OF BIOLOGY BY RAHUL CHAWLA
      This book can be considered as a last ditch stand for all the students preparing for PMTs, who cannot afford to give themselves a second chance and another year of tiring studies. This 128 page-hand cum pocket book gives you an overview of the complete biology syllabus so it is easier for the students to revise at the last moment. The book would be extremely helpful in last minute revision.

    • Rahul Chawla says:

      yes the basic pattern is same but in afmc questions are more of theoretical types and are usually repeated ones while in aipmt Qs are more NCERT based. also, in afmc english is asked and you need to have a look at afmc previous papers for that coz many times these questions are repeated
