Which one is the best AIIMS or CMC Vellore for an MBBS?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 21st, 2023
lives in New Delhi

One of my friends was in a similar dilemma. He considered the following points while making his decision 

  1. Most AIIMS undergraduates settle in the US or pursue higher education in top colleges in India while CMC graduates prefer CMC for their higher education only. 
  2. Students of CMC are required to do bonds in mission hospitals so their higher education gets delayed. But this instills in them a strong sense of community-oriented healthcare. They tend to work in remote places of India without any personal glory. An AIIMS student can hardly be seen doing community service.
  3. AIIMS graduates publish more when compared to CMC graduates.
  4. CMC students get better hands-on experience and hence fare better in terms of clinical and Surgical skills. Right from the second year, they start assisting postgraduates in clinical work. 
  5. If you are a non-Christian, it will be difficult to go through the entire training without a mission hospital

Ultimately, make a choice based on your demographics, preferences, and goals in life.

I got a 1400 rank with a 720 GATE score. What is the probability that I can get admission in NITIE, Mumbai?

SY
Subham Yadav Posted On : March 22nd, 2022
PGDPM from National Institute of Industrial Engineering (2018)

The required GATE cutoff varies each year. NITIE Mumbai GATE cutoff 2021 was 609 for general category students. A GATE score of in the 600-700 band is considered to be safe. 

The second step of the selection process is GD-PI. This round depends on your profile and the way you will drive the interview. The institute assigns some weightage to the profile of the students for selection as well. But the percentage isn’t disclosed.

Is there a possibility to not receive a call from IIM A/B/C, even after scoring 100 percentile in CAT?

MK

Yes, there is a chance that you may not receive a call from IIM even after scoring 100 percentile in CAT. However, this happens only for IIM Bangalore. 

You will receive a call from IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta because they choose the top 50 percentilers. But IIM Bangalore has an unknown logarithm for the admission process. I think it focuses too much on academics.

Are master's degrees from IGNOU acceptable for admission into Ph.D courses in top universities?

M.com from Indira Gandhi National Open University (2018)

Yes, IGNOU is UGC approved, so masters degrees from IGNOU are acceptable for Ph.D. courses in top universities. 

But to get admission you will have to meet the other eligibility criteria as well. The university will check your marks, rank, average, and age. As IGNOU is an open university, there is no age bar for learning any degree.

Are master's degrees from IGNOU acceptable for admission into Ph.D. courses in top universities?

PT
Parth Tyagi Posted On : October 20th, 2022
M.A. in Economics, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

It is not only accepted, but it also falls into the H+ category. The H + classification simply indicates that the degrees earned at this institution are transferable to the university sector. It has nothing to do with a preliminary decision on whether this institution's qualifications can be equated with German higher education qualifications. It should be noted that no equivalence determination or evaluation of higher education institutions in Anabin occurs on the Status down. 

Contrary to popular belief, the question of whether a foreign institution corresponds to a German university or a German university of applied sciences is not answered. In the field of higher education, equivalence definitions and assessments are conducted solely in terms of final types and degrees.

The entire admission process at IIM Ahmedabad for the PGP comprises 3 stages.

Stage 1:Preliminary Screening

The candidates that have cleared the CAT cutoff are shortlisted on the basis of a Composite Score or CS. The composite score is made up of academic rating score (AR) (includes 10th marks, 12th marks, and work experience) and normalized overall CAT score.

Application Rating score is based on class 10th, 12th, and bachelor exams, and work experience scores.

Shortlisting for Analytical Writing Test (AWT) & Personal Interview (PI):

The candidates with the best academic profiles and CAT scores will be further shortlisted for the next round. The shortlisted candidates will be called for AWT and a personal interview round.

Final Selection:

At this stage, candidates will be shortlisted across each category (General/ SC/ ST/ NC-OBC/ PwD) separately, based on their Final Composite Score (FCS).

Why do AIIMS Delhi students get a very short percentage in an MBBS even though they are intelligent?

SG
Shree Gupta Posted On : May 26th, 2023
studies at MBBS Student at AIIMS Bhopal (2020)

AIIMS Delhi is one of the most prestigious medical schools in India and is highly coveted among medical students. It boasts an extremely rigorous curriculum and high brand value. However, only a small batch of applicants is able to pass the MBBS exam. This is because the program is highly competitive and even the most genius minds sometimes fail to clear the exam.

Intelligence alone cannot determine your success in medical school. As a medical student, you will need hard work, dedication, and also critical for success. The professor itself is very challenging and requires a great deal of dedication, commitment, and a strong desire to help others.
