What is a typical day like for an M.B.B.S undergraduate studying at KMC, Manipal?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : September 28th, 2023

One of my close friends studies at KMC Manipal so she shared her daily routine in college. 

  • A typical day at KMC Manipal usually begins at 8:30 in the morning. 
  • Students have to rush to grab their breakfast and reach the lecture hall on time. The lectures begin at 8: 30 and end at 10: 30 after which a short break is given during which students go to the CBS canteen and have a samosa sandwich, bread pakoda.
  • The break is followed by DH from 11–1. Dissection is the best part of 1MBBS and will intrigue you a lot.
  • The lunch break starts at 1 p.m. and lasts until 2:30, so you can even take a short nap. 
  • Histology, Osteology, tutorials, or labs begin around 2:30 and last till 4 p.m. after which the day comes to an end at least academically.
  • With the end of the students, students go on to pursue things of their choice. Some sports enthusiasts head to MARENA, one of the best sports complexes in India. Some of the bookworms rush to the Health Sciences Library, some others spend time hanging out with friends while some grab a quick nap. 
  • Students can be seen by being involved in many activities like binge-watching their favorite shows, playing video games, and exploring the city. 
  • IMC Manipal has several events throughout the year and you are allowed to attend fests if other colleges too like WGSHA's food fests, MIC, and MIT's concerts.

Indeed KMC Manipal will offer the most liberating experience ever!

Can I get into KMC Manipal if I score in between 200-300 in the NEET and pay the required amount they ask for?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : September 28th, 2023

A score of 200 to 300 will get you into KMC Manipal only if you enter KMC through NRI quota. Non-NRI management seats cannot be secured with such marks. You need at least 550+ for those seats. Moreover, NRI seats are very expensive so look up the fee structure once. 

If you are not an NRI, just show some NRI background by making one NRI relative your sponsor. However, I will advise you to score higher if you want to get admission using the management seats.

Which is better for MBBS: KMC Manipal or GSVM Kanpur?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 28th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

KMC Manipal has an excellent crowd contrary to the general perception. Here, you need brains and not money to get admission. The admissions are based on merits so the quality of the crowd is not compromised at all. Only about 10% of the batch are NEI students or those with Indian ethnicity but are not citizens of this country WHO had to pay to get their seats. There are no management seats at all. The truth is that the number of meritorious students in government colleges is actually less because they have reservations for backward classes while private colleges do not.

So, go for KMC Manipal!

My friend was an MBBS Student at KMC Mangalore, so here are some highlights of the institute

  • The clinics are well-equipped and the patient lod is also decent.
  • Enjoys a good reputation among the medical colleges in India.
  • It’s bad one private hospital, KMC Attavar, and one Super specialty hospital, KMC Jyothi Circle
  • The workload is a lot because the hospital is completely managed by residents and interns. You will be responsible for everything from OPD to file maintenance to rounds to sample collection. 
  • Students are required to be proficient in each case early in the morning as they will be enquired about every patient that they are allotted
  • You have to update treatment and paperwork, attend class, and be ready to present short bedside cases.
  • PG students have to attend a theory class in the morning and in the afternoon twice a week, there is short group teaching, with the presentation. 
  • Students need to learn basic Kannada without which you won’t be able to interact with patients. 
  • The hostel facilities are great and Mangalore is a city of students so it won’t be difficult to find good food at low prices, beaches, bars, clubs, malls, etc
  • Mangalore is a port city so it's better connected than Manipal. 
  • There is a dual rating system wherein the professors rate the students, and students rate the professors. This helps the college to keep a check on the quality of education and improve energy year.

It will definitely be a great choice if you choose KMC Mangalore.

Can I get a management quota seat in KMC Manipal if my NEET score is 249?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : September 28th, 2023

I hate to say this but you won't be able to get a seat at KMC Manipal or Mangalore unless you have a pretty decent score and rank. Moreover, KMC Manipal has no management seats at all and the admission process is absolutely transparent. This is what sets it apart from other private medical colleges. Only the deserving candidates make it to KMC Manipal. 

There is a separate NRI quota wherein international students from the USA, Emirates, Singapore, Indonesia, and African countries apply separately.

So, there are no reserved category seats at KMC Manipal at all, so irrespective of your category, admissions are based solely on merit.
