I have been allotted KMC Manipal but I can't get over the guilt that I did not get selected in a government medical college with many attempts being taken. How can I get over this?
You must be feeling this way because of societal pressure. But KMC Manipal is an amazing college, and you’ll really like it here.
Some of my classmates left their AIIMS seats (not AIIMS Delhi though) to study at KMC Manipal. I agree that in comparison to government colleges, the fee at KMC Manipal is quite high (if you don’t get a scholarship). However, you’ll get all the top facilities in exchange for that. I know of successful medicos who graduated from this place.
AIIMS Delhi and KMC increase your chances of qualifying USMLE drastically. KMC Manipal has a favorable reputation in foreign universities. The faculty over here is quite good. The library, sports, and other facilities are all top-notch. Another good thing is the complete absence of reservations.
So you shouldn’t be disheartened because of all that you couldn’t get. Instead, make the most out of the opportunities available to you.
Can I do DU SOL to DU regular?
You can transfer to DU Regular college from DU SOL, in the same course. However, there are a few key requirements to meet in order to be admitted to DU regular classes. You could get some advice from the following guidance:
- If you perform exceptionally well in your first semester at DU SOL since DU exclusively accepts students who excel in their academic fields.
- You must deliver all of the paperwork promptly.
- For entrance-based examination procedures, you might be required to verify the terms of admission to DU normal institutions to determine whether or not an entrance exam is necessary.
- Provide all the necessary documentation along with proof.
It is a fact that nothing is exceptionally unique about regular college; hard work is the only way to succeed. You can pour yourself completely into making the most of your SOL year by learning something new and professional that will open doors for you in the future.
How difficult is the JIPMER exam when compared to the NEET & AIIMS?
You will be surprised to know that the JIPMER exam is one of the easiest medical exams. The majority of the questions are easier than those asked in NEET. The ratio of the difficulty levels of JIPMER, NEET, and AIIMS is loosely 0.75:1:1.5.
The JIPMER syllabus is based on the Tamil Nadu state board syllabus , so it’s quite easy for CBSE students but the topics that are only a part of the Tamil Nadu state board need to be studied. The exam paper has 10 questions from the English language and 10 from logical reasoning.
However, the acceptance rate is extremely low at JIPMER due to the lesser number of seats. Unlike AIIMS, JIPMER does not have many branches. The main JIPMER is located in Puducherry while a new JIPMER came up in Karaikal. There are a total of 200 seats under JIPMER, 200 Seats in JIPMER Pondicherry & 50 seats in JIPMER Karaikal. Given the fact that around 1 lakh students appear for the exam every year, and only 200 get selected, the acceptance rate is as low as 0.15%.
Overall, the selection rates of the aforementioned institutes have been arranged below
AIIMS Delhi(~0.02%) > JIPMER Puducherry (~0.1%) > New AIIMS(0.5–1%)
Which medical college is better: UCMS or VMMC?
Here are a few parameters on which one can compare the two colleges-
- Academics- UCMS has a more rigorous testing schedule, which is why its academics is considered better. On the other hand, VMMC provides you with more freedom to study the topics of your choice. For example, if you wish to apply for USMLE, you will have ample time for standard books, and extracurriculars to boost your CV.
- Campus- The campus of UCMS is double in size. But VMMC has a safer campus where you can roam 24*7 without safety concerns. This is because of a good number of security guards dispatched throughout the college and hospital.
- Location- Unlike UCMS, VMMC is surrounded by multiple hangout places. You can visit Hauz Khas, South Ex, Lajpat Nagar, Sarojini Nagar, Green Park, and Saket from VMMC. CP is just 30 minutes away, even by metro.
- Hostels- UCMS offers single seater hostel rooms for all, and the rooms are more spacious as well. At VMMC, you can customize your room according to your will. I don’t know about UCMS, but VMMC hostels have no curfew timings. NBH (New Boys’ Hostel) has good rooms, surrounded by greenery.
- Hospital- Safdarjung Hospital is better than GTB. It has the largest OPD in Asia, so you’ll have ample cases to learn. There’s a large number of PG seats at Safdarjung.
- Societies- VMMC has a dance society (Neocracy), a music society (Kehrawa), a fashion society, a sports society and a dramatic society (Kaivalya). I am not aware of the societies at UCMS.
Based on these parameters, I would recommend you join VMMC for your MBBS. But even UCMS is a good college.
Why is M.S. better than M. Tech at IIT Madras?

Placement: MS has better placements than MTech at IIT Madras.

International exposure: MS students get enough international exposure through international conferences which is not possible for MTech students.
Selection Procedure: The selection procedure for the MTech program just requires a good GATE score and thus the quality of students is not as good as MS. The selection process of the MS program requires a GATE score, written test heat, and even an interview. The selection criteria being difficult, filters only the best for the course.
Considering the fees, placements, and selection procedure we can safely conclude that MS is a much-preferred option over MTech today.
Should I choose BITS Pilani or Motilal Nehru NIT Allahabad for a CS degree?
Many have pointed out that the campuses of BIT Pilani (any location) are no doubt better than MNNIT Allahabad. However, this answer does not focus on this, which does not signify that it is not a good institute. It is the best institute, and both of these institutes are the best choice considering your future perspectives.
- Studying in BITS Pilani is quite expensive, and you have to spend approximately 17-19 lakhs to complete a course of two years tenure. Thus, many people cannot afford this, and for the MNNIT, Allahabad is the right alternative.
- Besides, you can also consider the location of your hometown. If you take admission to the nearby institute, you can go home many times between the semester gaps.
- The main thing is that both of these are great colleges and you have to think about the fees as per your financial background, as MNNIT Allahabad is cheap while BITS Pilani runs on money.
Many people vote like Pilani campus > Goa campus > Hyderabad campus, considering some of the courses. So, if you want to study CSE, then honestly, it is Pilani= Goa= Hyderabad. But you must also think about the weather and hometown proximity.
How is life at CMC, Vellore as an undergraduate?
CMC Vellore is among the top 5 medical colleges in India. The unique aspect that sets it apart from other medical colleges is that it just doesn't make you a good doctor but also a good person. It focuses on the holistic development of the students such that earning money is not their end goal.
The second most appealing aspect is the faculty pool who are extremely eager to impart education and share their knowledge and experience with their students. The learning facilities are top-notch, the labs are well-equipped and the patient flow is also good.
Another good thing about the institute is that the patients are kind enough to let students interact with them and examine them, which is not the case in most big colleges. This is also why CMC Vellore students have better clinical exposure.
The hospital receives many complicated and rare cases because it’s a tertiary care center, so there are ample opportunities for research. You can approach any faculty member if you are interested in starting a project and they will guide you.
CMC Vellore has many exchange and elective programs with prestigious institutes like Karolinska Institute and Uppsala (both Sweden), NUS (Singapore), Kyoto University (Japan), places in Australia, as well as IISc Bangalore.

The college gives equal importance to extracurriculars and students can be seen involved in many activities like music, dance, drama, and various sports.

Is NSIT a good college?
If I ever had the chance to choose between NSUT and DTU, I would always NSUT Delhi. Here are a few reasons supporting my opinion
- Placements : NSUT has some of the best placements in the country but the institute does not release the official data. From what I have heard, people get placed in top companies like Microsoft, Google, Adobe, Goldman Sachs, Royal Bank of Scotland, Samsung, Flipkart, Amazon, McKinsey & JPMC every year.
- DU degree: The tag of DU cannot be underestimated at all. It certainly gives you a certain edge over other colleges and makes higher studies abroad a lot easier.
- Crowd : NSIT (NSUT) has a very talented and diverse group of peers and you won’t find such a crowd in other engineering colleges. You will see a great bond between the juniors and seniors. The girl-to-boy ratio is much better compared to other engineering colleges too.
- Location : NSIT is located in Dwarka so you have easy access to places via Metro/Car. The closest station is Dwarka Mor.
Overall, NSUT Delhi will offer a unique college life experience and force you to come out of your comfort zone and explore new things. You will be busy organizing fests and exploring your non-academic passions here. The institute will teach you to manage your time and inculcate problem-solving skills. When you will leave college after 4 years, you will be a new leaf!
