What is the difficulty level of JIPMER MBBS entrance exam as compared to AIPMT? Which are the best reference books for JIPMER entrance exam?

SS
Suman Sharma Posted On : September 21st, 2023
MBBS from Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Pondicherry (2021)

Honestly, there isn't much difference in the level of difficulty of the two papers i.e., NEET and JIPMER. Both the exams are based on NCERT although JIPMER occasionally includes questions out of NCERT Syllabus. JIPMER is relatively easy as most questions are small and simple unlike some complex ones included in NEET. 

To prepare for the JIPMER exam all you need to do is go through the previous year's questions, revise your concepts, and formulas, name reactions of organic, and most importantly remain calm throughout preparing for the exam.

AJ
Aman Jain, Posted On : November 25th, 2021
MBBS from Topiwala National Medical College and Nair Hospital (2025)

According to the reviews online, if academics are concerned LTMC is the best among all the others mentioned.

  • There is no doubt that academically LTMC is superior to the others.
  • They also have many cultural fests held over the years which are much more vibrant and provide immense exposure to the students.
  • In LTMMC the internships offered to the students are very demanding. 
  • The hospital is crowded most of the time. 
  • They have a huge patient load, which benefits some students but becomes tiring for others. 
  • If you put all your focus and hard work in these internships, you will definitely miss out on studying.
  • Even so, it is preferred by most students as you will get to learn directly from the doctor handling the cases.
  • The internship builds you as an individual making you adapt in different situations.
  • The best thing about the internship is that you get to do a lot of BM biopsies, lumbar punctures, central line insertions , forceps-suction, cup deliveries, sebaceous cyst and lipoma excisions etc.

Most of the students feel that the internships here are better in terms of clinical practice. It gives you enough knowledge and hands-on experience.

How is CMC Ludhiana for an MBBS?

AS
Ashish Sethani Posted On : September 25th, 2023
CMC Ludhiana

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?

DK
Dr Sudhir Kumar Posted On : May 3rd, 2024
MD DM, Cher Aides

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.

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

SK
Sanjana Kapoor Posted On : September 25th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

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.

What are KMC manipal mbbs degree benefits over degree from state govt universities?

DS
Debansh Saxena Posted On : September 28th, 2023
KMC manipal

Government colleges offer excellent patient loads with minimal fees. Everything including hospital equipment, the salary of professors, and all the other expenses are covered by the government. In the case of private hospitals, all such expenses are paid by the students so the fees are high. KMC Manipal enjoys a good reputation because of the clinical exposure and quality of education it offers. In fact, its patient exposure is comparable to that of Government colleges. Being associated with 3 Government hospitals gives you a spectrum of cases and a huge workload for interns and PGs. Here are a few perks of choosing KMC over Government colleges

  • KMC gives you an edge over USMLE
  • It has an excellent research culture as it helps you to get into ICMR, a short-term studentship. In case you are presenting a paper they even sponsor you to go to a conference.
  • The extracurricular culture is also great here. It organized Utsav, its intercollegiate fest, and also allowed students to attend other fests like PULSE (AIIMS), Spandan (JIPMER), etc.

Eventually, the decision depends on your financial status.
