According to one of my friends at RGUHS, first-year MBBS includes subjects such as anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry. 

• There will be a certain limit to the number of questions asked in the examination. 
• It’s wise to go through previous years’ question papers to have a sound knowledge regarding the pattern and types of reliable questions. 
• Approach your seniors as they will have a stock of “must-read” topics and 10 years of solved question papers. 
• Question banks of Singi Yatriraj are a must-have reference when it comes to solving test papers.
• One simple tip is to read the questions and relate to the important aspects including the condition or phenomena.

Therefore, follow these pointers thoroughly for your exam. By practicing often you will realize that a lot of questions are usually repeated.

According to some of my friends studying in Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) Karnataka, here are the books he mentioned would be important.

The question bank by the author is Singhi Yatiraj is the best option when it comes to pursuing a question bank. 

The book is a well-framed set of previous year question papers and follows the RS pattern. It can be referred by any student of MBBS for studying their course effectively. 

The best part is that you can purchase it online.

I have a few friends from RGUHS and here are some of the tips they shared. 

• Make new friends, so you don’t feel homesick. 
• You won’t like hostel food at first. But with time, you will get used to it. 
• Make it a habit to study on a daily basis so that you do not have to stress on exam days. It is useful to plan your reading ahead of time since you will need revision. 
• Be punctual with all your assignments and practicals. The same goes for internal exams, not a smart move to take them lightly. 
• Solve the previous year’s question papers to make your mind work efficiently so there are no questions in your exams that make you go totally blank. It will make you feel confident. 
• The exam dates might get postponed, don’t worry about it. It will just prove as a plus point for you and give you more time to revise. 
• Take good care of your health. 

These are some of the things that you should keep in mind if you are planning to join RGUHS. 

There is no need to pass separately on both the papers of a subject in the first year of MBBS RGUHS. You just need to make sure to score above 50% of the total that includes your internal examinations, both the papers and the theory viva. According to the RS3 regulations and the marks distribution, it is not mandatory. 

Internals carry 40 marks, total marks for both papers combined is 200 marks and the viva has 40 marks. So, the total becomes 280, out of which it is necessary for you to score above 140 to pass the subject. This holds true for the subjects- anatomy and physiology. As for biochemistry, only half of it will be applied to the subject.
