What are the benefits of doing an MBBS from LHMC?

AB

lives in New Delhi

My friend shared her first-month experience as an MBBS student at LGMC. The initial days were very gloomy because almost everyone who failed to make it to their dream schools landed in LHMC. Also, the all-girls setting was somewhat new and difficult to adjust to after studying in co-ed all her life. However, soon everything started to become normal. She still vividly remembers how well her first dissection went. She made friends and their best hanging spot became the Statue of Lady Hardinge. All kinds of snacks from tea to noodles were available here. 

The seniors were surprisingly more friendly than expected and introduced juniors to various societies and extended parent-like support. Ragging did not exist even in the smallest form making the campus very safe. She witnessed her seniors organizing functions efficiently making her realize the all-girls environment gave more opportunities to girls here than a co-ed college would ever give. 

It was a month later that she realized that LHMC had never been her dream college or even her batchmates but the college warmly accepted everyone and would help her achieve her dream.

How is CMC Ludhiana for an MBBS?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : September 25th, 2023

CMC Ludhiana is one of the top private medical colleges of the country well known for its excellent education and opportunities in the medical field. Here are a few highlights of the institute

  • The learning experience is excellent in the first year and every teacher will motivate you for the better. They will cater to your doubts individually and conduct discussions along with regular weekly or monthly tests. By the third year, clinical subjects begin and professors become more busy. The written tests aren’t very regular in the last two years.
  • Students are exposed to clinics from the second year onwards. They witness a huge patient load and get to see outpatient and inpatient management of patients across various clinical departments. 
  • Here, students have foster families, that help maintain better relationships with faculty and peers. They are extremely approachable and make your college life better.
  • The infrastructure needs to be worked upon. Some departments of the hospital are well equipped, but the classroom facilities aren’t at par with the best colleges. 
  • The extracurricular culture is average and organizes an annual musical. Additionally, students get the opportunity to present their research at various conferences or go for an academic exchange through student organizations such as AMSA-India.
  • CMC Ludhiana provides a tremendous opportunity for undergraduates to take part in huge research projects.

Overall, CMC Ludhiana is an excellent medical college with some of the best facilities and opportunities offered to its students.

Are only Christians allowed in CMC Vellore for MBBS?

A
Admin Posted On : May 3rd, 2024

I completed my MBBS from CMC Vellore in the year 2018 as a Hindu candidate. 

I have simplified the MBBS seat distribution system at CMC Vellore for your understanding.

  • Management Seats- 50% of the total are management seats. These are divided into open seats, minority network seats and CMC Vellore staff seats.
  • Government Seats- The remaining 50% seats are filled by the Tamil Nadu Government from the State merit list of NEET UG exam. 30% of these seats are allotted to Tamil Nadu students (this includes other forms of reserved seats).

20% of seats are filled by Christian students belonging to Tamil Nadu. 

I have attached a screenshot from the CMC Vellore official MBBS Admission Bulletin 2024 for your reference:

CMC MBBS Seats

So to answer you, CMC Vellore does offer MBBS seats to non-Christian students. But the number of such seats is low. CMC Vellore is a Christian minority institution. For this reason, the majority of its MBBS and PG seats are reserved for Christian candidates. But a small number of seats can be filled by candidates of other faiths as well.

Should I do my MBBS from an above average government college or one of the best private college (KMC Manipal)?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 30th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

As a student of KMC Manipal, I will list down some reasons for choosing this college-

  1. The quality of education at KMC Manipal is at par with other top medical colleges of India.
  2. It has a very good infrastructure, even better than PGI which is an elite institution.
  3. You’ll get studious peers and dedicated faculty over here. Other than the curriculum, you’ll also be taught about all the latest developments in medicine.
  4. You’ll get good clinical exposure.
  5. KMC Manipal encourages undergraduate research. You can publish papers as a UG student too.
  6. The college has good foreign exchange programs.
  7. Your seniors will guide you on USMLE and PLAB. 
  8. The coursework and teaching methodology is top-notch. With proper attention in class and routine revisions, you can get into AIIMS for your PG. Even for coaching, DAMS and Bhatia Classes are available near the campus. They hold weekend classes so your college studies won’t be affected.
  9. The college and hospital are quite safe. The classrooms and hostels are filled with all the facilities. Extracurriculars form an important part of campus life.
  10. The college is very strict regarding attendance, so you’ll grow into a disciplined doctor.
  11. Unlike many government colleges, KMC Manipal doesn’t have a rural service bond.

But there are some disadvantages too-

Manipal is very expensive, and the PG seats are even more expensive. Getting a PG seat is very difficult because of extremely high competition.

You should choose KMC Manipal over an above average government college. But make sure you are fine with the above listed disadvantages.

Aparna Das Posted On : June 1st, 2023

After a long battle and protests, AIIMS Nagpur students have finally managed to abolish the uniform dress code. This rule came out after relentless social media demonstrations. The decision was finalized by Dr. MH Rao. Additionally, relaxation was also made in mess, hostel, and campus timings.

As for the alteration in the dress code, boys are expected to wear formal trousers and a full-sleeved shirt, while girls can either wear a salwar kurta with sleeves or formal trousers and a full-sleeved shirt. In addition to this, every AIIMS Nagpur student has to wear black shoes, socks, and an apron with the institute’s logo on the half-sleeve.

Do VMMC MBBS students have secured seats for PG in VMMC?

Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : September 25th, 2023

No, VMMC MBBS students do not have secured seats for PG in VMMC. Here is how the internal quota of the university works

Once the students complete their UG course from their college, they're eligible for the internal quota of PG seats of their University and not the specific college. This means that the internal quota is for the university and not the college. In your case, the internal PG quota belongs to IPU and not VMMC. So, Students of all the colleges under IPU are eligible for IPU PG seats. 

Earlier there was only VMMC (UG) under it, Mao PG seats were easily available in VMMC and RML, so the seats were kind of secured. But with more and more colleges under IPU, the PG quota of IPU too has lost much of its value.

So, the VMMC MBBS students don't have secured PG seats.

If you have options to pursue an MBBS in AIIMS Bhubaneswar or JIPMER, Puducherry, which college would you prefer now?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : June 1st, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

Both JIPMER and AIIMS Bhubaneswar are equally good in terms of infrastructure and academics. While JIPMER has a magnificent campus, AIIMS Bhubaneswar buildings are more modern because of recent construction. Overall, there aren't many differences between the 2 institutes. The academics, infrastructure, and hostel facilities are somewhat similar. but if I was in your place, I would have chosen JIPMER, Puducherry for UG over AIIMS Bhubaneswar. While this may surprise many, I have logical reasons to support my stance. The one solid reason why I chose JIPMER was the beauty and the places to explore. 

  • The breakfast shops in Auroville
  • The Rocky Beach with moonlight shimmering on the water.
  • The Le Cafe 
  • Villa Shanti 
  • Villa Helena, Celine’s Kitchen, DisDis&Co, Satsunga, Le Club, Rendezvous, Villa Krish, Coromandel Cafe, and many more.
  • A pretty resort, Ocean Spray

While some might find it illogical to prefer a certain institute just because of the restaurants near it, for me it certainly is a valid point. As a medical student, it’s very important to take breaks and these beautiful places will surely take you to a different world. 

However, JIPMER is suitable only for UG. For PG, AIIMS Bhubaneswar is the best option because the language barrier is a major problem in the South.

Overall, JIPMER is an excellent option for UG while AIIMS Bhubaneswar can be preferred for PG,
