I am a radiologist practising in USA. I had done my PG in radiology in India earlier and have gone through this all india pg entrance grind.

There is a limit to absurdity and every year the absurdity of questions keep increasing.

None of these questions are correctly worded and are of no clinical relevance.

When are our Indian PG entrance question selectors going to wake up. Can't they choose clinically relevant questions that are of vignette pattern and may you think.

Sad!

Interesting. Nowadays I thought it's better... they can't choose clinically relevant questions...

How can arteriography be the test for aneurysm? What if there is a thrombus in the aneurysm? I believe MRI would be the test of choice in this.
