Christian Medical College - [CMC], Ludhiana

If you work in a central government-funded institution, you will definitely receive the paycheque on time that is the last working day of the month. However, the situation may not be the same in state government institutions where salaries are not received on time.

I have a few friends in Kasturba Medical College, AIIMS, and JIPMER and all of them told me that they receive their salary exactly on the last day of the month.

However, many other less-reputed hospitals and medical colleges, dont pay their residents and interns or they receive the paycheck extremely late. I believe in order to create a strong healthcare system, we must cater to basic necessities such as paying the healthcare workforce on time. 

CMC Ludhiana is one of the top private medical colleges of the country well known for its excellent education and opportunities in the medical field. Here are a few highlights of the institute

• The learning experience is excellent in the first year and every teacher will motivate you for the better. They will cater to your doubts individually and conduct discussions along with regular weekly or monthly tests. By the third year, clinical subjects begin and professors become more busy. The written tests aren’t very regular in the last two years.
• Students are exposed to clinics from the second year onwards. They witness a huge patient load and get to see outpatient and inpatient management of patients across various clinical departments. 
• Here, students have foster families, that help maintain better relationships with faculty and peers. They are extremely approachable and make your college life better.
• The infrastructure needs to be worked upon. Some departments of the hospital are well equipped, but the classroom facilities aren’t at par with the best colleges. 
• The extracurricular culture is average and organizes an annual musical. Additionally, students get the opportunity to present their research at various conferences or go for an academic exchange through student organizations such as AMSA-India.
• CMC Ludhiana provides a tremendous opportunity for undergraduates to take part in huge research projects.

Overall, CMC Ludhiana is an excellent medical college with some of the best facilities and opportunities offered to its students.

The lives of M.B.B.S. students at CMC Ludhiana are lively and filled with fun activities. The initial year might feel a bit hectic because of the difficulty in adjusting and the endless syllabus. 

• The college timings are usually 8 am-4 pm. 
• The common subjects taught are Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, and Ethics. 
• The entire batch is from diverse cultures and backgrounds enhancing the overall classroom experience. 
• The hostel facilities are much better than government colleges and there is a student-run mess.
• The professors are well-educated and experts in their respective fields.
• However, you might now be able to experience a connection with nature here as the college is amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.

Overall, the life of an MBBS student at CMC Ludhiana is fast-paced with anatomy dissection hall socializations, practicals, anatomy, interesting physiology, and hanging out with friends!

Yes, you might get into CMC Ludhiana with 513 marks in the All India Open Category in the 2nd counseling. CMC Ludhiana NEET Cutoff 2022 for this category was 16113 . Based on the NEET marks vs. rank, the rough estimate of marks required for this rank is 608-610 . Given that you have scored 513 marks, I feel there are still chances for you to make it to this college. However, this is just a prediction and does not guarantee your admission. 

The CMC Ludhiana Girls Hostel is located in the city of Ludhiana, in the state of Punjab, India. It is specifically designed to accommodate female students. From what I have heard from my friends, the hostel is decent with all basic amenities. It's much better than the hostels of government colleges. Recently, a new hostel has been built which has modern facilities so you dont have to worry about hostel facilities here at all. I even got 2 pics from my friends for reference

Hope this helps you!

A close friend of mine studies at CMC Ludhiana and gave me insight into the actual scenario of academics there. 

• The academic environment may not be the best but it certainly is decent. You will have professors poking you to study hard, guide you, and keep track of your progress.
•  The institute has a very poor infrastructure that hinders the classroom experience to a certain extent.
• The institute has a decent number of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities and organizes a musical theatre every year.
• CMC Ludhiana fees are extremely high around INR 6.6 for the first year which keeps increasing. It may not seem worth it. 
• The hostel facilities are also average although better than many government colleges. 

Overall, if your only goal is to study and become a good doctor, CMC Ludhiana is a decent choice for sure but if you also want a dynamic college life then I will suggest considering other options.
