Here are some advantages of both, KMC Manipal and KMC Mangalore-
Advantages of KMC Mangalore-
Advantages of KMC Manipal-
I really had an amazing time at KMC Mangalore. If you want more clinical exposure, stay at KMC Mangalore. The theory classes are at par in both. As a KMC student, if you are among the top 8 for the first 2 years, you’ll get the opportunity to attend a month-long externship in the Netherlands.
Both IMC Manipal as well as Mangalore have their own unique strengths and weaknesses. In terms of academics, both colleges are almost similar with some of the most experienced teachers, and excellent clinical exposure. The only major difference you will see is that KMC Mangalore has a dispersed campus so you have to travel through a city while you study. Mangalore therefore offers a more flexible life and offers an environment that helps you become a more independent person.
I would recommend Kasturba Medical College even over Government Institutes for MBBS training.
As a student of KMC Manipal, I will list down some reasons for choosing this college-
But there are some disadvantages too-
Manipal is very expensive, and the PG seats are even more expensive. Getting a PG seat is very difficult because of extremely high competition.
You should choose KMC Manipal over an above average government college. But make sure you are fine with the above listed disadvantages.
There are a few common differences between KMC Mangalore and KMC Manipal
AIQ for the Manipal campus is always higher than the Mangalore campus. KMC Manipal AIQ cutoff for the general category is 72304.
KMC Manipal has an excellent crowd contrary to the general perception. Here, you need brains and not money to get admission. The admissions are based on merits so the quality of the crowd is not compromised at all. Only about 10% of the batch are NEI students or those with Indian ethnicity but are not citizens of this country WHO had to pay to get their seats. There are no management seats at all. The truth is that the number of meritorious students in government colleges is actually less because they have reservations for backward classes while private colleges do not.
So, go for KMC Manipal!
The life of a first-year student at KMC Manipal is quite hectic but it teaches you to maintain a healthy balance between studies and other co-curriculars. You will spend the initial days socializing yourself with your batchmates and adjusting yourself to the surroundings. You will familiarize yourself with the pedagogy and also identify the study methods that suit you. Students hang out with their like-minded people. and also pursue their nonacademic interests. Being your first time away from home, you might face some issues adjusting initially so here are some things you should always keep in your mind here
Hope this helps you!
My friend was an MBBS Student at KMC Mangalore, so here are some highlights of the institute
It will definitely be a great choice if you choose KMC Mangalore.
I hate to say this but you won't be able to get a seat at KMC Manipal or Mangalore unless you have a pretty decent score and rank. Moreover, KMC Manipal has no management seats at all and the admission process is absolutely transparent. This is what sets it apart from other private medical colleges. Only the deserving candidates make it to KMC Manipal.
There is a separate NRI quota wherein international students from the USA, Emirates, Singapore, Indonesia, and African countries apply separately.
So, there are no reserved category seats at KMC Manipal at all, so irrespective of your category, admissions are based solely on merit.
NEET PG is like any other entrance exam. So the UG college doesn’t really matter when giving your PG entrance.
But it is true that your clinical postings have a bearing on the things you remember when reading your preparation material. Your exposure to clinical signs, diagnosis, radiological findings, and surgical procedures makes you remember things. A dedicated faculty, motivated peers, and hardworking seniors will have a huge impact on you. Good seniors offer tips and tricks on cracking entrance exams.
Coming to KMC Manipal, it is a premiere institute. It is at par with most government medical colleges. The alumni of this college can vouch for its good academics and campus life.
You’ll have to prepare for your PG with efficiency and diligence. Your UG college won’t have much of a role in this regard. KMC Manipal is a good choice for an MBBS, and it will offer you all the facilities and exposure.
Without any second thoughts, choose KMC Manipal over HIMS Dehradun. Joining a private college is not considered very wise but it’s not in the case of KMC because
Overall, the opportunities this college has to offer make it an excellent choice.
