I connected with Dr. Shital in June last year when I was unsure about how to go forward with research and portfolio building. I believe everyone needs a small push at some point of their life and honestly for me, she was that missing puzzle. She helped me publish my research paper in OBGYN and currently guiding me with 1 paper and a case review as well. She empowered me to be independent, always involved me in decision-making, taught me the whole process. She is very sweet, caring and so perfect in what she does, extremely prompt responses - there has never been any delay from her side, very clear in her guidances and most importantly approachable at all times. She conducts meetings to all our needs

Dr. Shital helped me correct the grammar mistakes in my research paper and guided me in creating graphs to make the paper more organized. She carefully read my entire research paper during a Zoom meeting and made the necessary corrections. For my future publications, I will continue to seek Dr. Shital’s help because she is excellent at reviewing and improving research papers.

Hey Ma’am, I wanted to do a case report from day one, and finally I found a good case that I believe has strong publication potential, so I decided to proceed with it. Once it gets published, I would definitely like to enroll for your guidance regarding conference presentations as well. Since research is one of the main components of the portfolio-building program, I would prefer to focus on my case report independently rather than enrolling in the full program. I plan to enroll in the courses separately based on my requirements. I want to focus on completing Phase 1 and Phase 2 successfully. I have been associated with the academy for the last two months and plan to continue for the upcoming six months as well. I am truly grateful for all the guidance and support you have provided so far. Thank you.

Dear Dr. Munjal, I just wanted to express my appreciation for your classes. They are always full of new, practical, and exam-focused information. One of the main reasons the sessions are so effective is your excellent command of English — it makes everything clear, easy to follow, and helps us understand even complex topics. Your thorough explanations for every question truly guide us and make a big difference in our learning. I hope we will continue having more sessions with you, because we are learning a lot and truly enjoy your teaching.
Online live class
Dr Munjal Sir’s classes are extremely informative and help us build strong conceptual clarity. He encourages us to think deeply by asking questions and patiently listening to our reasoning — wanting to know why we chose an answer and why not the alternatives. This approach truly makes us think and learn meaningfully. His use of tabular comparisons that link multiple topics and differentiate between confusing concepts is especially helpful. Every session is engaging and never boring. Sir ensures that we leave the class with a clear understanding of the topic, and he is always approachable and friendly whenever we have doubts. Thankyou @Dr Munjal Pandya India You’re a wonderful teacher
