Both AIIMS and NIMHANS are excellent options for pursuing a PG in neurology. While choosing one between the two, you might want to consider the following simple differences 

• Courses: DM Neurology is offered at both AIIMS and NIMHANS. Both the colleges offer this course after PG in General Medicine for which you will have to pass the exams conducted by respective institutes.
• Courses after MBBS : NIMHANS offers a direct 5 years of DM neurology course after MBBS while AIIMS does not offer any direct DM neurology course after MBBS. So If you choose NIMHANS, you will not have to take an entrance exam for admission to DM after PG in general medicine. NIMHANS certainly gives a huge edge in this aspect.
• Practice: AIIMS has a huge patient load most of which is dealt with by senior citizens. So, you will not get much clinical exposure and will be entrusted with trivial tasks only. NIMHANS on the other hand is a national-level neuro institute where you will get to deal with all types of patients right from the first year. 
• Location: AIIMS Delhi has a clear advantage over NIKHANS in terms of location.

So choose wisely! 

Yes, it is absolutely possible for someone to prepare for both AIIMS PG and NEET PG simultaneously. For that, there are a few points to consider which are stated below.

The following table states the recent seat count available from NEET PG and AIIMS PG.

Points to consider:

• AIIMS PG entrance takes place in November, whereas the NEET PG entrance is in January. So, it’s very natural to get tired after appearing in AIIMS if the candidate has high hopes for AIIMS. Therefore, it’s better to take a break for at least a week or until the result comes, after which the candidate is sure about whether to prepare for NEET PG or not.
• The syllabus and pattern for both AIIMS and NEET PG are the same. So, it will become easy for candidates to cover the entire course and practice accordingly.
• The syllabus should be covered subject-wise and as planned in one’s own strategy.
• After AIIMS is over, try to practice NEET PG mock tests in order to understand the pattern.
• You must focus more on the core knowledge and a brief overview of the updates would be enough.

Do not feel stressed if you haven’t cleared AIIMS PG. You can give your best shot in NEET in a month's time and full-focus can do well. Having a similar structure and syllabus, both exams have a common way of preparation which needs to be covered at an early stage and the advanced preparation following it. So, simultaneous preparation is always possible.

The mess food at NIT Silchar is very oily. Poori or Paratha is served for almost every breakfast. Potatoes are the only abundant vegetable. Other healthy vegetables are served quite seldom. Salad isn’t served everyday. Occasionally, you'll get some fruit like Bananas, or fruit shake. A thick layer of oil can be seen floating on top of the vegetables. 

It is unhealthy to consume such an oily breakfast on a regular basis. Oily foods lead to increased cholesterol levels and very bad heart health. Even the snacks consist of fritters, samosas, and other foods that require deep frying. The seniors don’t bother and say nothing can be done in this regard. 

Sadly, this is the case not just of NIT Silchar, but many other colleges and universities. Not just a health freak, but a normal student would also agree that such unhealthy levels of oil can lead to serious health problems in the future.

The internship scenario at VMMC is quite disappointing and tiring. The number of patients is so huge in all the departments and interns have to work more than required to get the work done. Their focus is not to learn new procedures but to complete the work and go. Here is the department-wise scenario 

• Pediatrics : In this department, interns are required to find all the case sheets(files) and reports and arrange them before the rounds begin. They are also responsible for dextrose monitoring and discharges. If you are posted in labor, you will have to ensure the baby’s safety. 
• Surgery : Here, interns are required to do sampling, dressing, and discharges. In emergency minor OT, you will have to I n D, suturing, catheterization, and such. Interns also go to OT to watch the surgeries. Postgraduate students may let you do procedures like hydrocele on minor OT days.
• Medicine : The patient load varies from season to season. In dengue season, it’s maximum and you will always be busy doing sampling and cannulation.
• OBC : Here you are responsible for sampling, cannulation, catheterization, and NST. You can also take deliveries in the labor room.
• Orthopedic : During emergency days you will be busy with cast and traction. You might also have to do skeletal traction.
• For other departments like PSM, ENT, Derma, Optha, and Casualty, the workload is comparatively less so you get a lot of free time. 

Overall, through the internships, you will get confident at least in minor tasks, and gain a lot of hands-on experience.

I am an alumnus of KIIT. In my B.Tech Civil Engineering course, I scored a 9.43 CGPA and ranked 2nd overall in my branch.

For a 9+ CGPA, I would recommend you follow this advice-

• Hostel- You and your roommates will most probably come from different backgrounds, both economic and cultural. Learn to accept the differences and do not waste your time and energy on petty arguments. After your first year at KIIT, when you will be shifted from King’s Castle VII, try to get a room with people who carry the same values and mindset as you. However, be ready for adjustments and compromises with them as well.

1. Classes- Do not unnecessarily miss your classes at KIIT because there you will learn important tips on preparing for your examinations and other competitions. Also, try to study for 2-4 hours each day after classes.
2. Read- Read motivating and inspiring books during your free time. 
3. Set a goal for yourself- Be it an MBA from an IIM, getting a good placement offer, or any such goal, make it in the first year itself and work hard towards achieving it. With such a goal in mind, you will study harder toward getting a good CGPA.

Apart from studies, do enjoy your life at KIIT, make amazing friends, and develop leadership and managerial skills by participating in societies like the Photography Society, Music Society, Dance Society, etc.

VSSUT is a great place for UG studies. But a degree from this college isn’t sufficient in most cases. So it is usually better to opt for higher studies at a prestigious college.

1. For an M.Tech or MS, CS/IT are the best branches. This is because they offer endless opportunities in research and jobs.
2. For an MBA, Production Engineering is the right branch. Its curriculum contains elements of Management Studies. Also, scoring high grades is comparatively easier.
3. For UPSC, Economics, Law, etc, any branch is equally suitable.
4. To grab high paying jobs, Mechanical and Production are the best. But there is a fierce competition as core companies hire just 2-3 students each year.
5. For a CS/IT student who participates in Competitive Programming, goes for ACM ICPC, and maintains good grades, getting off campus placements in Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc. isn’t very difficult. A forum has been set up for competitive programming where the seniors provide good guidance on problem solving. 

Make sure to go for a branch that interests you. This does play a huge role in deciding your career prospects.
