Radiology Unplugged Dr Sumer Sethi

FMGE June 2026: First Impressions, Paper Analysis & the Road Ahead by Dr Sumer Sethi The FMGE June 2026 examination is done and dusted. Having visited examination centres personally and interacted with hundreds of students as I have done across my 26+ exam visits over the years here are my unfiltered observations, an honest paper analysis, and some words of guidance for every student who sat for this test today. Before we even talk about the paper, we must acknowledge what students walked into today. The conditions at several examination centres were, to put it plainly, distressing. Reports poured in of centres with no air conditioning, non-functional fans, no coolers, and no access to cold water this in peak summer. Paper 1 leaned toward the moderate-to-difficult side. Paper 2 was moderate-to-easy. Taken together, the examination was balanced — but the format made it feel significantly harder than the content alone would have. The single most surprise element for students this year was the introduction of video-based questions. Students encountered videos of procedures, physical examinations including thyoplasty, vocal cord assessments, and clinical signs. Mostly doable if you had attended classes and discussed clinical discussions with faculty members. The paper was deeply integrated across subjects — Gynaecology fused with Medicine and Pharmacology, Anatomy threading into Pathology. The idea of integrated question design is sound pedagogy. At DAMS, we have always taught this way when we teach Pharmacology, we begin with basic Physiology, move into drug mechanisms, and end at the Medicine doorstep. That is how real clinical medicine works. This exam was a direct verdict on shortcut culture. Four-page summaries of Pharmacology, two-page notes on Microbiology these will not work anymore. The examiner wants you to know why a drug works, not just *that* it works. They want you to connect the Physiology to the Pharmacology to the clinical presentation. Choose your faculty wisely. When studying Gynaecology, learn from a Gynaecologist who has operated on these conditions. When studying PSM, learn from someone who has lived in public health settings. The examiner's own clinical experience is embedded in every question they write and only a faculty member with similar depth can help you see the world the way the examiner does. At DAMS, our faculty bring exactly this clinical authenticity to their teaching. Our Best Wishes and Blessings to all The Aspirants for the results.
