How does it feel to fail in MBBS first year and pass later in supplimentary when all your friends have already passed?

In most of universities answer is yes. You are eligible for Gold medal even if you have failed in first year MBBS. Gold medals are given on the basis of Your rank in individual subjects. If you score highest marks in all subjects or an individual subject then you will be eligible for Gold medal. But these terms are different in different universities.

Although every year matters in medical school, the first year in particular is very important to us as it helps us figure out the teething problems in studying. This year also introduces us to new technical terms, it tests our fundamentals, what we studied in school, and enables us todevelop strong understanding of the basics. If you feel like you did your best to understand concepts during the year, revision should be able to help you remember what you’ve already learnt quickly. However, if you have gaps in your knowledge, I highly recommend to get the subscription from e-learning platform and watch the videos regarding the areas you are not very confident about. I personally use Lecturio in medical school. I have stuck with it from year 1 and I am so glad I found iut about it in early stages of my student life. Lecturio is a platform which offers your everything you need to achieve you academic potential in a single platform. It is definitely worth its’ price. Video lectures are conducted by the professors teaching in world’s leading universities. Questions are very spot on, spaced repetition space is absolutely incredible, and of course, Qbank which gives you clinical correlations on every question widens your thinking skills and makes you think outside the box. Definitely check it out. They also have study schedules so you can use it for your exam prep. Otherwise, just have a look at what they have ro offer and make your own timetable, that’s what I would do on your place. Matthew Bailey , Medical student Source: Quora Digest

My sympathies!! MBBS is one of the toughest professional course and it's very different what we study in our +2. Don't linger to the failing part instead look ahead. Prepare for the next attempt. Try to make out where you went wrong , lots of times we do know what we lacked in and put in extra effort. Also study strategically, focus more on the topics relevant to the exam. Take help from ur seniors and demonstrators ( they do know about passing the exam). Most of all utilise ur time well. And don't forget u got into MBBS which in itself is an ordeal so remember that whenever u r feeling low. Trust me clinicals are much more interesting and I definitely found them easier to study coz of the interest so look forward for it.
