Can someone share his/her interview experience at SPJIMR on score-based calls?
If you are preparing for an interview at SPJIMR, here is what you can expect based on a student's experience.
First, you need to choose your specialization beforehand while filling out the application form. Once you receive a profile-based call, you will be shortlisted and interviewed on the basis of your chosen specialization.
On the day of the interview, make sure to reach the venue 90 minutes prior to the scheduled interview time. The admissions committee member will verify all the documents which were uploaded to the portal and will ask you to submit a photocopy of the same.
You will then be taken to another classroom for the psychometric test and WAT. The psychometric test will revolve around questions testing your morals and ethics, and you will have to choose among Strongly agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree, and Strongly Disagree. You will also have to elaborate on the same by choosing any 3 among the 10 questions from each group. The WAT will ask you to write on a given topic within a time limit of 30 minutes.
After the written test, you will be taken for the group interview. Groups of 6 will be taken to their respective panels. You will be asked to introduce yourself, and the panelists will question you based on your specialization. Be prepared to answer questions related to your work profile and operations. You will also be asked to speak on a topic related to your specialization.
If you qualify for Group Interview 2, you will be asked questions that test your personality and character. You will also be asked to talk about a "Wow" moment in your life and something deep you have learned from your parents.
Remember, the interview process is an elimination round, so make sure to prepare well and be confident in your answers.
Can an average student get a JIPMER PG? I'm taking a drop year. Can you share your preparation schedule for success in the JIPMER PG?
Hard work and smart study is the way to go. I didn’t specifically prepare for JIPMER, AIIMS or PGI. Prepare subject-wise to ace an exam. Do not focus on a particular exam as then you’ll be stuck in solving repeats. Do solve repeats, but do that subject-wise, after completing that particular topic/subject.
Most students who crack these entrances are average students with a good preparation strategy. Analyze your weak subjects. With a basic foundation from your MBBS, four months of intense preparation is enough. Do join test series like Dams and ADR Plexus.
During my preparation days, I started my studies by solving MCQs on topics which I had covered the previous day. This was followed by 6-12 hours of study. Allot 60% of your day for strengthening your subjects, and 40% for solving MCQs. If possible, attend Dr. Thameem’s classes. Pathology is a scoring subject that also covers a lot of other subjects. For Patho, attend Devesh Mishra's classes.
I would recommend first knowing your strengths and weaknesses. Polish your strengths further, and improve on your weak areas.
Are there any droppers studying in JIPMER?
‘Dropper’ seems like an odd term to define someone.
I did have a roommate during my first year of MBBS at JIPMER who took a year drop after her 12th. During this time, she prepared well for her medical entrances. After a year, she cracked the JIPMER exam with an under 10 UR rank. After her college graduation, she went for her MS OBGY at AIIMS Delhi.
With hardwork and dedication, you’ll surely succeed in getting into JIPMER for your medical studies.

Which college should I choose, peripheral AIIMS or KGMU?
One of my cousins got selected in both AIIMS Gorakhpur and KGMU. However, he chose KGMU because of the following reasons
- KGMU is a state college.
- It is one of the oldest colleges and has a legacy of more than 100 years.
- It has a huge patient inflow
- It’s most famous for its beautiful Infrastructure and lush green campus.
- It’s the capital of UP so there are many location advantages too.
However, the only drawback is that you will have to serve the bond for 2 years.
AIIMS Gorakhpur on the other hand is a newly established institute so it will take time to grow.

How is MS general surgery residency at JIPMER when compared to other top ranked colleges for surgery?
The General Surgery is one of the best departments in JIPMER. Most residents here are extremely friendly and well-educated. This department has some of the best professors.
