This book is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title by Dr. Jagadish Sunkum, covering ENT and head and neck surgery (कान, नाक एवं गला तथा शिर एवं ग्रीवा शल्य चिकित्सा) for undergraduate medical students. As the cover states, it is built on the 2019 competency-based medical education curriculum of the National Medical Commission, which is the syllabus MBBS students are now taught and examined against.
That curriculum alignment is the reason to consider this book over an older ENT text. The CBME curriculum specifies competencies rather than a topic list — what a student must know, and what they must be able to demonstrate — and a book organised around those competencies lets a student check their preparation against the same list the examiner is working from. Older ENT textbooks cover the subject well but were not written to that structure, so mapping them onto the curriculum is left to the student.
In scope it works as a manual for the full undergraduate course: the anatomy and physiology of the ear, nose, paranasal sinuses, pharynx and larynx, followed by the diseases of each region with their symptoms, examination findings, investigation and management, together with the clinical and examination-oriented material — instruments, cases and the questions the ENT viva turns on. At 735 pages in this first edition it is fuller than a pocket manual, which makes it usable as the main reading text for the subject rather than only as a revision aid. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script.
