Preparation for this book started with collection of University papers from many quarters including those asked in examinations of yester years. It was a tedious job to collect exam papers from many colleges and universities. Here, our job was made easy by many of teachers and students of various colleges to whom we don’t have enough words to express our gratitude. Third MBBS curriculum and paper style has changed a lot from the time to time. From the era of long questions, the focus has changed to short notes and short questions. Much emphasis is given now a day to the clinical or applied part of the Preventive & Social Medicine. For Third MBBS students, it is very difficult to collect university papers of yester years and study them.
The same pattern of examination is followed by most of the Universities across the India. In Gujarat itself, Gujarat University, Sumandeep University, North Gujarat University, KSKV Kachchh University and South Gujarat University. Keeping all this in mind, we have tried to incorporate all the papers of Gujarat University of previous exam of all three subjects of III MBBS Part I. This is our sincere attempt to help students better prepare for the examinations where they are also able to answer short questions in a very good manner.
We earnestly hope that this book will be useful like first edition to all Third MBBS students studying in the colleges which are affiliated to above mentioned Universities. We hope that students and academics would find this book useful and interesting. We would also appreciate their comments and suggestions for further improvement of the book.
