What is the performance of students in NEET PG after the MBBS course in KMC, Manipal?
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.
What is the difference between a regular IGNOU course and a distance IGNOU course?
One of my friends had a very bad experience in IGNOU. She applied for CCP which has 6 months of certification but the university allowed 2 years to complete it.
She wanted to complete the course within 6 months so she appeared on all the exams on time. She had to follow up with her professors for project work daily. After she did submit her project, they lost it. After 5-6 months the Delhi branch called to inform her that her project was not good enough. Apart from this episode, she shared more drawbacks she faced:
-
Out of 8-10 classes only 3 were conducted.
-
They took 6-7 months to inform her that the project wasn’t good.
-
She did not receive any books and had to get them personally by visiting the centre 4-5 times
-
They increased the fees suddenly in the second year
She scored 1st division in CCP but did not get the certificate for the same. So it’s not recommended for you to do PGDCA from IGNOU.
What are some things to do a month before joining an MBA from IMT, Ghaziabad?
The campus life at IMT Ghaziabad is very stressful and fast-paced. You need to prepare for this well beforehand so that you don’t end up in a slump. I have listed a few skills you can adopt to make your best time in IMT Ghaziabad.
- Time management: This is the most crucial skill you need to inculcate before joining IMT Ghaziabad or any other B School. You cannot make the best use of all the opportunities offered until you know how to manage and prioritize your time. The first year is packed with assignments, group projects, case readings, committee work, competitions, and mid-term assessments. You need to learn to manage your time to make the best out of these.
- Presentation skills: These include skills to use software tools like MS PowerPoint, Prezi, etc. to create a visually effective presentation. You can also work on your presentation delivery skills.
- Data Analysis: The pedagogy for most courses is case-based that will include appendices of financials. Apart from this, most companies today are data-driven, and having specialization in the same will only increase your profile and potential.
- Social Skills: IMT Ghaziabad batch size is usually bigger than other B Schools. The more people the more variety of backgrounds you will be dealing with. So it's best you prepare yourself to interact with them both informally and formally during Group Discussions and committee events.
Apart from acquiring the above skills, take extra care of your physical and mental health, get lots of sleep and spend time with your family
How would you rank the following colleges (placement-wise): NIT Trichy, DTU, NSIT, BITS Pilani, best IIIT and IIT Jodhpur?
Based on the placement record, the following is the ranking of the mentioned institutes:
NSIT> IIIT H> DTU> BITS Pilani> NIT Trichy> IIT Jodhpur
- NSIT and DTU are situated in Delhi and they tend to attract more companies. The crowd is more eloquent as most of them are from Delhi schools and raised in the city.
- Since NSIT is only 30 minutes away from Delhi International Airport, it is the first port of call for companies.
- IIIT Hyderabad has also produced some excellent programmers and has connections with IT firms in Bangalore and Hyderabad. As a result, the placements are superb.
Other IIITs, aside from IIIT Hyderabad, have struggled to establish a strong identity over the years. When it comes to brand equity, you can't go wrong with NIT, NSIT, DTU, BITS Pilani, and IIIT.
It must be noted that placement changes from year to year, department to department, and from company to firm. There is no entrance for placements and it is defined by a number of characteristics such as no. of seats, work experience, confidence, knowledge, etc.

- The course offered is a 5-year course rather than the usual 4-year course which requires you to spend an extra year doing an internship or a thesis.

Can you become a professor in IIMs or IITs after FPM from new IIMs, like Rohtak or Raipur?
Becoming a professor from the new IIMs is definitely possible but rare. The FPM program offered at the new IIMs has varied peers some being freshers while some with Masters from foreign universities.
The following things matter when selecting an Assistant Professor in a new IIM
- Your experience
- The quality of your papers
The chances are rare because most of the new IIMs have professors who have done Ph.D. from older IIMs like IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, and IIM Calcutta. Ph.D. is a program that totally depends on your performance and research. The initial years focus solely on research training and cannot be enough to make you eligible for faculty positions.
So your chances are rare but not null.
What are the pros and cons of joining IIM Kashipur?
There are various pros and cons of joining IIM Kashipur:
Pros:
Located at a wonderful intersection of industry (300+ operational plants of companies like Parle, Titan, Mahindra, Dabur, and others), tourism (places like Corbett National Park, Nainital, Mussorie, and so on), and agriculture (sugar cane producers, agricultural university, and so on), there is a lot of scope for multidisciplinary learning and management education application.
The new campus has 200+ acres of sprawling lush greenery as well as all relevant amenities. IIM Kashipur was the first to do so. Among the new IIMs with the highest number of international placements/summer internships and comparable, if not better, overall placements than all other new IIMs. IIM Kashipur is a place for fostering new ideas and feeling satisfied when they come to fruition.
Cons:
If you believe in a traditional legacy-driven culture, and the comfort of having a tremendously established alumni pool, then IIM Kashipur may be suitable for you but after 10 years or so.
If you like to contribute new ideas and believe in working towards them, or maybe in organizing events as formative batches to make them a legacy for your juniors to carry forward, then IIM Kashipur is the place for you.
