Rank 1 in INI SS Renal Transplant Surgery:
Dr. Sunidhi Rajput’s Road to Success

Renal Transplant Surgery may be a niche super-specialty, but its importance is rapidly growing. In INI SS 2025, Dr. Sunidhi Rajput secured All India Rank 1 in this competitive branch, proving that determination, mentorship, and smart preparation can take you to the top.

Here’s how she broke barriers and built her success story—with Surgtest playing a key role in her journey.

Breaking Barriers in a Niche Field

  • Background: MBBS at B.J. Medical College, Pune; MS General Surgery at Madras Medical College, Chennai
  • Early interest: Initially drawn to Urology
  • Turning point: Inspired by mentor Dr. Karthik to pursue Renal Transplant Surgery
  • What attracted her: A blend of precise surgical skill and long-term medical management

“Renal transplant surgery is more than just operating. It involves mastering immunosuppression, understanding renal physiology, and following through with long-term patient care. That’s what makes it exciting.”

Renal Transplant Surgery: A Field on the Rise

Dr. Sunidhi sees enormous potential in this specialty, with exciting developments ahead:

  • Steroid-free transplant protocols
  • Combined pancreas-kidney transplants
  • Postoperative immunologic management
  • Need for surgeon-scientists with both technical and clinical expertise

Institutions like PGI Chandigarh inspired her to aim high—and she achieved exactly that.

Preparation Strategy: Clinical Focus + MCQs + Surgtest

  • Balancing clinical work with exam prep wasn’t easy, but she relied on strategy and consistency:

    • Solved 3,000+ Surgtest MCQs, repeating them twice
    • Used mistakes as a learning tool—reviewing incorrect answers until concepts were solid
    • Relied on Surgtest’s concise video lectures for clarity and reinforcement
    • Focused on clinical reasoning over rote memorization—matching INI SS’s case-based format

    “I’ve used Surgtest consistently since NEET SS 2023. Their MCQs are not just questions—they’re clinical scenarios that teach you how to think.”

Beyond MCh: Thinking Globally

Dr. Sunidhi’s aspirations extend beyond India:

  • Interested in global fellowships, especially with the American Society of Transplant Surgeons (ASTS)
  • Recognizes that Indian transplant programs provide a solid foundation in kidney, pancreas, and even liver transplants
