AFMC: 11 Answered Questions

What type of questions are asked in the interview for admission to AFMC Pune?

Tezal Dahiya

Firstly you need to be sure of your decision to join AFMC Pune because you can never perform well if you are in a dilemma. You need to portray your genuine self during the interview, that is the key to getting selected. Your interview shouldn’t seem forced. 

  • When you come for the interview, you will go through certificate deposition, wherein a file about you is initiated. You will score extra marks for the certificates you already have.
  • This will be followed by ToELR, a Test of English Language and Reasoning. It’s an 80-mark test consisting of 40 marks for English and 40 for Mathematics and logical abilities.
  • For English, all you need is basic knowledge of the language. For this, you can just take some short online English tests consisting of comprehension synonyms and antonyms.
  • For Mathematics, you need to be the origin of your concepts and also have a strong presence of mind. 
  • The psychological test will evaluate your real self and I don’t think there is any right way to prepare for this.
  • This is followed by a preliminary interview with the Brigadier(Adm). During this round, your file is updated for the final round. 
  • Lastly, the most crucial round is the panel interview. This interview is conducted by a panel of psychologists, the Dean, and several other intelligent and prestigious members of AMC. They will evaluate your basic knowledge about your area, your interests, and your hobbies. 

The key to ace these institutes is to stay confident and genuine!

How hectic is AFMC Pune?

Tezal Dahiya

The level of hecticness at AFMC Pune or any medical college actually depends on the kind of crowd you are surrounded with. While most believe that your life becomes peaceful once the first term is over, I negate this opinion because, in reality, you will experience the most hectic life during those initial days. Once again, here, I answer what I have experienced.

A close friend shared his experience of the initial days at AFMC. 

  • On the first evening, he along with his batchmates were summoned by the fresher NCO. He informed everyone about the rules and regulations they were required to follow. 
  • The first day began with early morning PT before which everyone had shaved off their face and worn the PT uniform. A headcount confirmed the attendance and they were asked to run from U block to Otilia Mascarenhas Sports Ground. 
  • They were then required to change and assemble to go to Central Cadets Mess in just 15 minutes. After that, they headed to their lectures.
  • After classes were over, they went back to U block and were called for evening games an hour later. Games were followed by dinner. 
  • After dinner, the students assembled for the last task of the day, orientation. 
  • After the orientation, their mess warden addressed them and they were finally dismissed.

Overall, the fresher term is the most hectic time at AFMC also because you haven't adjusted to the environment. But slowly the burden is reduced and you start enjoying your college life.

What bond does a student have to sign to get into AFMC Pune?

Raktim Tarafdar

To get into AFMC Pune, one must sign either of these bonds

  • SSC : The SSC or the short service commission is for a duration of 7 years and you will have to pay a penalty of around INR 28 Lakhs if you break the bond or quit. If you opt for this bond, you can apply for PG only after you complete 7 years. However, you can do your DNB after 4 years.
  • PC : The PC or the permanent commission requires you to serve in the armed forces till you retire, that is for 20 years. If you opt for this bond in the armed forces after completing your MBBS, you can do your PG after 4 years.

Hope this helps you!

In AFMC Pune, what is the schedule for MBBS students? What time do they get up, when do the lectures start, when is dinner? What is the routine there?

Sapna Malik updated
Sayantani Barman

The schedule is quite busy, especially for final year cadets. But if you learn time management during your faccha term, you’ll manage everything with grace.

All the batches have two theory classes from 8 AM to 10:30 AM, followed by clinics ( during the first year, you’ll have practicals instead). 10:30 AM -11:00 AM is break time. Clinical Postings take place between 11 to 12:50 PM. You will have to reach the Command Hospital (CH) for clinical postings.

After Lunch, you’ll have DH/practicals/tutorials between 2-4 pm. You’ll get free by 4 pm. But on Wednesdays and Saturdays, no academic sessions are held post lunch. Between 5 - 8 PM, you can go swimming, to the gym, to the library, etc. During the final year, you’ll have evening clinics between 6-8 PM. You can visit the reading room to study at night. On Fridays, you’ll get to watch a movie in the Dhanvantari Auditorium.

This is the basic routine of a cadet at AFMC Pune. Also, there is a requirement of 75%+ attendance in theory classes, and 80%+ attendance in clinical postings.

Sapna Malik updated
Tezal Dahiya

To start, girls are very safe at AFMC Pune. The administration is very supportive of females. Here are a few things your daughter can expect from AFMC-

  1. AFMC Pune allows mobile phones, and the students are provided with a sim of Maharashtra. You can call your daughter anytime you want, and vice versa.
  2. She’ll get a vacation twice a year, for 15 days each time. But she’ll love AFMC so much that even these 15 days will seem like a lot.
  3. The hostel washrooms are cleaned every day, and provided with basic facilities like tissues, geysers, etc.
  4. The uniform consists of a shirt, tie, and trousers of light brown color. She will get two sets of it, along with one full-sleeve set, a blazer, and a sweater. The laundry person visits twice a week to wash and iron the uniform.
  5. She’ll get a lot of voluntary tours and outings. There are events around Pune about twice every week, and she can attend independently or on behalf of the college. After the first 6 months, she can go for outings by herself, without any restrictions.
  6. With a good NEET score and a command of Maths and English, she’ll get into AFMC. But the interview matters the most. If she is confident and expressive, the interview will go well too. As far as medical is concerned, she shouldn't be obese or suffering from a serious medical abnormality.
  7. Morning PT stops after the third term (1.5 years). NCC drill also continues for the same time. PT will make her active and inculcate the habit of waking up early. 

It is great that your daughter plans to join AFMC. She will love her journey throughout.

Do people in AIIMS-D, JIPMER, AFMC, MAMC, VMMC, LHMC, and UCMS become egoistic?

Raktim Tarafdar

Medical students from all these colleges are quite decent. They are normal people studying at reputed institutions. I have good friends in MAMC and LHMC.

It is in fact society that puts an extra burden on these people. They are expected to be social all the time. But this expectation is very unrealistic.

It is not right to put labels on these individuals. Their busy schedule should not be confused with egoistic behavior.

How is the life of a female medical student at AFMC, Pune?

Raktim Tarafdar

The life of a female student at AFMC Pune depends on whichever semester you are in. During the initial years, you receive training from your seniors regarding the rules and regulations of the colleges. Moreover, the female population is very less so you might face issues adjusting and adapting to the new system. Specifically for females, the following points should be considered 

  • The hostel rules are relatively more strict for girls than boys to ensure minimal opposite-gender interaction. 
  • You will be highly cheered on if you are a good athlete as females being involved in sports is a rare scenario.
  • You will be expected to be good culturally meaning all the decorations during Silhouettes, the annual fest will be your responsibility solely. Moreover, your participation in Dance, drama, music, debate, and quizzing activities is highly expected.

However, there is no discrimination whatsoever in terms of academics. This is what the daily schedule of a female medical student at AFMC Pune looks like

  • Morning PT--6 am-7 am
  • Classes—8 am-1 pm and 2 pm-4 pm
  • Lunch—1pm-2pm
  • Sports—5 pm-7 pm
  • Dinner—7 pm-8 pm
  • Joint Sensitisation Program—8 pm-9 pm

So the day of a female student at AFMC Pune typically begins around 6 in the morning and lasts till 9 at night.

In what order would you rank MAMC, KGMU, AFMC, IMS-BHU, CMC & Grant Medical College?

Namrata Das
Akriti Guptalives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

I will try to answer your query and provide some additional information.

After the top most colleges- AIIMS, PGI, JIPMER, NIMHANS and SGPGI, these are the colleges you should try for- Medical colleges in Delhi are the best choice. Out of these, MAMC is the most desirable. It is followed by VMMC, LHMC and UCMS. Then come the medical colleges in Mumbai. KEM is a top medical college, followed by Sion and Grant. Colleges of Kerala and Madras are at par with one another. But Madras Medical College is the best among these. AFMC and CMC Vellore are great for patients, but not so much for the students. 

Thus, MAMC is a great choice. I do not possess much knowledge of KGMU and IMS BHU, so I haven’t talked about them.
