How is NEIGRIHMS, Shillong for MBBS if I want to pursue my residency in the US?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : September 30th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

I would advise you to not opt for NEIGRIHMS if you plan to pursue your residency in the US. It is better to look for other colleges if you are seeking admission through NEET. You can join a USMLE coaching during your MBBS degree itself. At some other college, you’ll be exposed to students who have cleared their USMLE. Almost negligible MBBS students from NEIGRIHMS apply for/ clear USMLE. The college is in a budding state, so the faculty isn’t sufficient. However, the teachers are helpful and supportive. 

NEIGRIHMS is not a very good option in your case.

I have an option to choose from GMC/GSMC, Mumbai and KGMU lucknow for MBBS. Which college should I opt for?

AG

lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

I will try to answer this query as per my limited knowledge.

As for GMC, its teaching standards have declined. The classes aren’t as rich as in previous times. Even the study culture isn’t as good now. Only the brand name remains. Because of this, GSMC is currently much better ranked than GMC. So if you are from Lucknow, choose KGMU over GMC Mumbai. MBBS is quite stressful, and homely support does a lot for mental health.

Both GSMC and KGMU are good medical colleges. Choosing between these is a bit difficult. Research on the condition of PG reservation at Maharashtra colleges, and Provincial Health Services (PHS) rule in UP. This will help you make a better decision. 

Both GSMC Mumbai and KGMU are excellent choices.Choose between the two based on various factors that I have listed above.

Where should I go for pursuing MBBS PGIMS Rohtak or NDMC Delhi Hindu Rao Hospital?

AB

lives in New Delhi

If you are a medical student looking to pursue a postgraduate degree, it's important to consider your options carefully. One option you may have heard of is the PGI Rohtak, which is a well-known medical institution. However, there is another option that you should strongly consider: Hindu Rao Hospital in Delhi.

Here are some reasons why you should choose Hindu Rao over PGI Rohtak:

  • Hindu Rao Hospital has reserved seats for postgraduate degree programs, which means that you are more likely to get a spot in your desired program.
  • By staying in Delhi, you will have access to a large and competitive healthcare market. This will help you acquire skills that even students from reputed institutions like KGMC, Stanley Medical College, and Madras Medical College may not have.
  • Delhi is the capital of India and has a thriving medical community. You will have opportunities to attend conferences, workshops, and other events that can help you stay up-to-date with the latest medical research and techniques.
  • Living in Delhi will also expose you to a diverse range of patients, which will help you develop your clinical skills and empathy.
  • Finally, staying in Delhi will allow you to stay close to your family and friends, which can be an important source of support during the stressful period of medical school.

In summary, while PGI Rohtak is certainly a reputable institution, Hindu Rao Hospital in Delhi offers many advantages that you should consider. By choosing to study in Delhi, you can acquire skills and experiences that will help you stand out in the competitive medical market.

Is CMC Ludhiana a better option for a MBBS?

Namrata Das Posted On : September 25th, 2023

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.

Which medical college is better Malda Midnapore or Murshidabad?

RB
Rajashree Banerjee Posted On : October 11th, 2021
MBBS from West Bengal University of Health Sciences

All of the mentioned colleges are government institutes. They are affiliated with the West Bengal University of Health Science (WBUHS) and approved by the Medical Council of India.

One of my friends is an alumnus of Midnapore Medical College & Hospital. As per him, all the three institutes are at par. Being government institutes, the best practical exposure to students is through internships. The interns have a tight schedule.

As an intern doctor, you will encounter a wide range of patients. Even the professors and RMOs are easily approachable. During your houseman-ship days, you get an opportunity to perform cesarean sections, hernioplasty, and cholecystectomy under the doctor’s supervision.

In the end, all will provide decent opportunities.

Are repeaters eligible for gold medals in MBBS rguhs?

RT
Rajat Tokas Posted On : March 10th, 2023
Former Student

Only regular students are eligible to receive a gold medal for achieving the highest marks in a particular subject or for the highest score in an academic year. Repeaters, unfortunately, are not eligible for this recognition.

However, this doesn't mean that repeaters should feel discouraged or disheartened. There are other ways to excel academically and achieve success. By focusing on your studies and consistently putting in the effort, you can still achieve your academic goals and earn good grades.

It's important to remember that success is not just measured by awards or recognition, but also by personal growth and improvement. So, don't give up on your academic pursuits and continue to work hard towards achieving your goals. With dedication and perseverance, anything is possible.
