Give you all the previous year IMIC question papers from the start to the base. And pick up all the medicine questions. And, uh, and integrated questions too. Pick me, what are all the hotspots and main areas which, uh, based upon the systems, uh, cardiology, urology, pulmonology, hematology, gastroenterology, hepatology, and nephrology. All those systems you should include, uh, and divide the questions based on it. And, uh, give me the hotspots from which, uh, all these questions were given and give me the questions too. It should be generated in a PDF form.
