Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure to me. I am one of the co-authors and co-supervisors of this research work. I hope this article helps in understanding for which students can easily bear the medical teaching-learning stress and can do well, and which students find difficulty based on their marks obtained in entrance examination and cognitive functions
