Dr. Rohan's Selection Strategy (Expert View)
As a physiotherapist, here is my honest advice to crack this exam. Most candidates will score well in Section C (Physio subjects). The real competition is in Section B.
- Master "Other" Sciences: You must study basic Sports Nutrition (Macros, Hydration) and Sports Psychology (Anxiety, Motivation). Physiotherapists often ignore this and lose marks.
- Focus on Applied Biomechanics: Don't just read definitions. Understand levers, torque, and force vectors in gym exercises (e.g., Squat vs. Deadlift biomechanics).
- Read WADA Guidelines: There will likely be 1-2 questions on Anti-Doping rules. Read the basics of the WADA code.
