How is the hostel provision in NIMHANS, regarding facilities and cleanliness?
The hostel facilities are excellent for the PG students in medical and surgical branches. Many of my friends in AIIMS and PGI have visited NIMHANS and claimed its hostel facilities to be better than their hostels. The hostels are well-maintained and hygiene is given utmost importance. Additionally, there are family rooms available on the basis of seniority.
However, the non-medical trainees don’t get very good hostel facilities as their buildings are old and retarded. Most of the old academic buildings have been transformed into hostels for non-medical trainees so you should keep your expectations low if you are one.
How good is the PhD neurophysiology program at NIMHANS?
One of my friends is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in the Department of Neurophysiology at NIMHANS. As per the information he shared, the department has 8 faculties. Only 4 students can enroll under one professor for a Ph.D. The batch size is around 50 per batch every year.
The duration of the coursework is 6 months which is centralized. PhD students are exposed to a wide range of topics in the field of neuroscience. The theoretical knowledge imparted is only basic just to give an idea of the field and no topic-specific modules are taught. One will get exposed to the basics of research methodology.
Once the coursework comes to an end, students are supposed to choose their guides and start working on a specific topic for the Ph.D. Other learning modules include classroom discussions, writing up Ph.D. protocol to get feedback, and techniques required for the Ph.D. work. I have seen many MPhil students returning for a PhD program in the Department of Neurophysiology.
The Department of Neurophysiology offers a 2 year MPhil program. Usually, students of MPhil pursue the same topic for their PhD. One seminar and one journal club presentation are conducted every week.
Overall, the course is well-structured and renders enough freedom to do the research work. You can also consider taking online courses in statistics and signal processing if you are interested in research work.
How do I secure a DM neurology seat in NIMHANS?
It’s quite challenging to secure a DM Neurology in NIMHANS. One needs a very good rank under the AIR-5 range. NIMHANS conducts the best neurology-centered examination for students.
During the initial 2 years, you will hardly be able to study amidst the chaos of problems related to neurology. It’s only after 2 years when you come back to college that you will be able to study theoretical neurology topics like neurosurgery, pathology, etc.
If you are a research enthusiast, you will also have access to the Research Institute for Neurology. Additionally, you can work on some projects related to neurology like control of the human brain, dog motion control, etc.
All this combined may help you get a seat in SM Neurology at NIMHANS.
