Prepare for INI-SS with a plan based on your chosen paper, present knowledge and time available. The selected INI super-speciality programme should determine which syllabus and practice material you use.
Set your subject priorities
- Relevant postgraduate specialty
- Applied specialty knowledge
- Any additional assessment described by the institute
A practical study cycle
| Stage | Action |
|---|---|
| Start | Read the current syllabus and take a short diagnostic test. |
| Build | Study a manageable topic, then answer fresh questions on it. |
| Review | Record why an answer was wrong and revise the underlying concept. |
| Combine | Use mixed sets to practise switching between topics. |
| Rehearse | Attempt timed papers and review accuracy as well as speed. |
Adjust the plan to your results
Spend more time on repeated weak areas than on topics that already feel comfortable. Keep a short revision record for formulas, concepts or clinical distinctions that you repeatedly miss. Schedule breaks and a consistent sleep routine around your study commitments. A useful plan is one you can sustain and update after each practice session.
Keep preparation aligned
Selection stages and institute requirements must be read together. Do not assume every participating institute uses an identical final assessment.

Use the latest notice for your course and session. Later corrections or revised schedules take priority over an earlier bulletin.
