NIMHANS: 8 Answered Questions

Which college is better for an MCh Neurosurgery: AIIMS Delhi or NIMHANS?

Tithi AggrawalLives in New Delhi

Both AIIMS and NIMHANS have been excellent institutes for neurosurgery. Both the institutes have their unique strengths and weaknesses. It’s better to weigh the pros and cons before coming to a final decision.

AIIMS Delhi

  • AIIMS has given birth to elite neurosurgeons and enjoys a great level of credibility and global recognition. 
  • The neurosurgery department has top-notch infrastructure and all the modern facilities you could ask for. 
  • There is a dedicated trauma center, in addition to cadaveric training and research facility, neurosurgical education and training school, and an animal dissection lab.

NIMHANS

  • NIMHANS is a dedicated mental health and neurosciences institute.
  • It has an NBRC - neurobiology research center which provides necessary resources for research and technology advancement.

Both AIIMS Delhi and NIMHANS are equally good in terms of the amount of work, patient management protocol, and infrastructure. The only issue at AIIMS Delhi is the increasing staff as a result of which the surgical work gets divided and residents get less work. NIMHANS on the other hand has a lesser faculty count which does not necessarily mean more work. 

Ultimately, it’s your performance that determines your success and not your institute. Institute just lays down the stepping stones for your future.

How do I prepare for the NIMHANS MCh neurosurgery entrance exam?

Moinak GuhaMBBS Medicine and Healthcare, Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences (2020)

According to the new updated pattern from 2018, there are separate papers for DM neurology, Mch Neurosurgery, and MD psychiatry courses.

The 70 marks paper continues. The questions are asked from all 19 subjects. The questions are asked randomly. The weightage of any subject is increased at any time. No fixed weightage from the subjects can be expected. Don’t leave out any topics from the 19 subjects. Each mark counts and can be the reason for selection and non-selection. Only 4 seats for DM and 4 for MCh.

For 30 marks separate papers-

Neurology: Neuro medicine is asked mainly. So it's important to read Harrison's neurology portion. You should have good concepts of Neurophysiology, neuropathology, CNS pharmacology, Neuro-ophthalmology, and a few neuroanatomia. Ketzung for CNS pharma part and CNS pathology from Robbins is recommended.

Neurosurgery: Mostly basic questions are asked. Good concepts of Neuroanatomy is a must. Snell and Neuro medicine from Harrison is equally important for neurosurgery. A head injury from Bailey/ Sabiston is recommended.

Psychiatry: Kaplan and Saddok is a standard book. Cover Schizophrenia and depression topics from it with the psychological examination. Praveen Tripathi's psychiatry reference book as a whole is helpful. Understand concepts well. Watch Caplan videos on behavioral science for a good understanding.

Follow crash courses from DAMS, DBMCI, and Positive classes. You can also join the Telegram channel for NIMHANS preparation.

What is the difference in doing a six year MCh neurology course in NIMHANS and in other colleges in India?

Sakshi Gupta
Deeksha Seth,studied at National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (2017)

It won't be right to talk about other institutions that offer Neurosurgery, but as one of my friends studied at NIMHANS, I will be able to share some details about it, analyzing which you can make your choice.

  • Being a referral centre, NIMHANS receives lots of patients.
  • The OPD’s will run up to modest hours in the evening and with cases ranging from PIVD to brainstem gliomas. 
  • The casualty will have a dedicated trauma team that receives 100–150 trauma cases per day, ranging from mild concussions to SAH.
  • OT will run on all working days or all days in case of emergencies. 
  • The surgeries include aneurysmal clipping to functional surgeries such as DBS or functional hemispherectomy.
  • There will be academic programs throughout the week including general classes to journal clubs.
  • The main focus falls on clinical work, so you will get a lot of raw material to work with to gain clinical knowledge.
  • If your interest lies in research, there are competing people there also, to encourage and guide you.

Ultimately, it is your duty to gather information from the cases, and what you learn from each of them after completing the clinical work. Always be ready to face any situation and work a hectic schedule.

How is the post-MBBS MCh Neurosurgery course in NIMHANS? Will you acquire a good skill set and have a good learning curve there?

Sabeer Chalana
Adrita Das,Studied at National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (2017)

NIMHANS is an excellent choice for those who are only interested in neurosurgery and are certain of pursuing a career in the same. However, you won’t be learning anything about general surgery. You’d do a craniotomy for EDH evacuation in a trice but will have a major problem putting your finger on an offending appendix.

Ultimately, if you are making this choice just because you want to pursue MCh directly, it’s better to reconsider your decision. 5-years is a long time to waste on something you aren’t sure of. So choose wisely after considering all options.

If an MBBS graduate is having an option of choosing between AIIMS NIMHANS MCh neurosurgery 6yr course then which institute is the best to opt to? What is the advantage of one over the other?

Sakshi Gupta
Gurpreet Singh,M.S. in Surgery, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) (2019)

This is a choice that can vary from individual to individual. It is each student’s unique preference of certain things like location, curriculum, alumni, crowd, etc. that influence their choices.

One of my friends cleared both the entrance exams at the same time but opted for AIIMS over NIMHANS, due to its location. Being a North Indian he felt it would be easier to blend in rather than getting accustomed to a new culture, food or place.

Also, he mentioned that the Neurosurgery course will only provide an McH degree and no MS degree. This was also another concern for him and why he in the end went for AIIMS.

Therefore, you should think clearly and point out all the pros and cons of these institutions. Check which one is satisfying all your requirements and then go for it. Both AIIMS and NIMHANS are reputed institutions, graduating from any of them will prove to be great for your career. If you are North Indian go for AIIMS, if South Indian opt for NIMHANS.

Which college is better for an MCh Neurosurgery AIIMS Delhi or NIMHANS?

Sakshi Gupta
Priya Mathur,MD Psychiatry from Department of Psychiatry at National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (2018)

This is very difficult to differentiate, as both of them are hugely notable for Neurosurgery. But like every other institution, they also have their fair share of pros and cons. Let me discuss some facts about both the institutes, analyzing which you can make your final decision.

  • AIIMS has given many good Neurosurgeons. It has a high credibility value.
  • It has got a dedicated trauma centre, cadaveric training and research facility, neurosurgical education and training school, and animal dissection lab.
  • NIMHANS is a dedicated mental health and neurosciences institute. 
  • It has got NBRC - Neuro-Biology Research Centre which provides proper infrastructure for research and technology advancement.
  • There is no difference in the quality of work, patient management protocol, etc. at both institutes.
  • The only thing bothering the students of AIIMS is the increase in faculty members. This divides the surgical work and less share comes on part of residents.
  • NIMHANS has fewer faculty members as compared to AIIMS.

You can also choose the college favoring your location. North Indians generally opt for AIIMS while South Indians will go for NIMHANS.

Ultimately, it depends on the student’s choice, because both the institutions are equally good. But a university name does not matter, it might give you the first push but after that your training and your work will speak for themselves.

Is it a good option to do an MCH in neurosurgery at NIMHANS?

Sabeer Chalana
Raktim Tarafdar

Yes, an MCH in Neurosurgery at NIMHANS is certainly an excellent choice. Here are some strong points in favor of my opinion

  1. By choosing this course, you will be able to complete your course in 5 years, unlike CMC or AIIMS where it will take 6 years.
  2. NIMHANS is a Neuro-centric institute so you will be better exposed to the different aspects of the nervous system.
  3. The patient load is heavy and the OPD witnesses diverse cases every day. 
  4. NIMHANS is also the best choice for research enthusiasts because it’s a research institute, so offers excellent resources for the same.
  5. Bangalore has a more pleasant climate in contrast to Delhi and Vellore. 

So, go for it without any second thoughts.

How should one prepare for the NIMHANS, post-MBBS exam, and MCH neurosurgery while in medical school?

Sabeer Chalana

Here are some highly recommended books you must go through at least once if you are preparing for the NIMHANS post-MBBS exam and MCH Neurosurgeon 

  1. Harrison's Neurology and psychiatry portion
  2. Bailey and Love's Neurosurgery and Trauma section
  3. Neuroanatomy from Snell's or Gray's 41st edition 
  4. Ganong's Neurophysiology
  5. Robbins Neuropathology, diseases of nerves, diseases of muscles
  6. Neuro-psychopharmacology from Katzung's
  7. Retinal diseases and Neuro-ophthalmology from Parson's
  8. Neuro-radiology from Dr. Sumit Sethi's book.

By going through these excellent reads, you will definitely have an edge over others. However, it’s important to note that one needs to be thorough with MBBS concepts. The PG exam comprises 70% general and 30% neuro/psychiatry-specific questions so invest your time accordingly.
