It was collected during the 2019-2020 match season specially for IM

interviews. Collected by my friend Sara. She is a Psychiatry resident,

friend and colleague. All kudos to her.

Make answers for all the questions. Write the points. And try to answer
naturally as if you are speaking to some friend in a dearly way. It’s not
only important what you speak it also matters how you speak.
