What should I choose between UCMS, Delhi and KGMU, Lucknow?
Without any second thoughts, go for UCMS. The academic ambiance is almost the same at both the colleges and both of them are highly reputed. Here are a few additional benefits of choosing UCMS over KGMU
- You will not have to go through the rural bond
- Generally, colleges in Delhi are far better than the colleges in UP. So as 50% of seats in NEET are reserved for State counseling admission to UCMS will be far easier.
- Under the UP system, extra merit is given to those who have worked in PHCs for state counseling making it difficult for a fresher. Delhi doesn’t have such a policy.
- Life outside campus is fun both in Delhi and Lucknow. Lucknow is known to have excellent food places while Delhi is the capital city.
- UCMS allows its students to attend the festival of various other Delhi colleges including AIIMS's Pulse.
Overall, both colleges have their strengths and weaknesses so choose wisely!
What is an explanation for the sponsorship procedure for admission in CMC Vellore?
You can be sponsored only by the organizations mentioned in the sponsorship list. Moreover, being a Christian is not enough and even Catholics are treated equally to non-Christians when applying. From what I know, CMC is run by a group of churches and if you apply via one of these, you have a good chance of getting sponsored.
The truth is these are just formal guidelines and to be sponsored all you need is genuine passion to serve the community. If you are passionate about social service your grades and even religion won't be a hindrance in your path. I have seen many exceptional cases, so what stops you from becoming one?
How should a dropper smartly study for the next 6 months to crack the AIIMS/JIPMER/NEET?
One of my friends was a dropper and managed to crack AIIMS. When asked about his strategy, he told everyone that he would perform the self-introspection exercise. In this, he would take his NCERTs and open the index.
Point out every chapter and rate your knowledge out of 5 in each topic. Rate yourself honestly to determine your strengths and weaknesses. Perform the same exercise for every subject and you will realize how much you lagged behind. This will also instill in you a desire to study hard and overcome your weak points. Study at least one chapter you are weak at thoroughly every week. Soon those chapters will become your favourite.
So, self-analysis is the key!

Can someone share his/her interview experience at SPJIMR on score-based calls?
If you are preparing for an interview at SPJIMR, here is what you can expect based on a student's experience.
First, you need to choose your specialization beforehand while filling out the application form. Once you receive a profile-based call, you will be shortlisted and interviewed on the basis of your chosen specialization.
On the day of the interview, make sure to reach the venue 90 minutes prior to the scheduled interview time. The admissions committee member will verify all the documents which were uploaded to the portal and will ask you to submit a photocopy of the same.
You will then be taken to another classroom for the psychometric test and WAT. The psychometric test will revolve around questions testing your morals and ethics, and you will have to choose among Strongly agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree, and Strongly Disagree. You will also have to elaborate on the same by choosing any 3 among the 10 questions from each group. The WAT will ask you to write on a given topic within a time limit of 30 minutes.
After the written test, you will be taken for the group interview. Groups of 6 will be taken to their respective panels. You will be asked to introduce yourself, and the panelists will question you based on your specialization. Be prepared to answer questions related to your work profile and operations. You will also be asked to speak on a topic related to your specialization.
If you qualify for Group Interview 2, you will be asked questions that test your personality and character. You will also be asked to talk about a "Wow" moment in your life and something deep you have learned from your parents.
Remember, the interview process is an elimination round, so make sure to prepare well and be confident in your answers.
Can an average student get a JIPMER PG? I'm taking a drop year. Can you share your preparation schedule for success in the JIPMER PG?
Hard work and smart study is the way to go. I didn’t specifically prepare for JIPMER, AIIMS or PGI. Prepare subject-wise to ace an exam. Do not focus on a particular exam as then you’ll be stuck in solving repeats. Do solve repeats, but do that subject-wise, after completing that particular topic/subject.
Most students who crack these entrances are average students with a good preparation strategy. Analyze your weak subjects. With a basic foundation from your MBBS, four months of intense preparation is enough. Do join test series like Dams and ADR Plexus.
During my preparation days, I started my studies by solving MCQs on topics which I had covered the previous day. This was followed by 6-12 hours of study. Allot 60% of your day for strengthening your subjects, and 40% for solving MCQs. If possible, attend Dr. Thameem’s classes. Pathology is a scoring subject that also covers a lot of other subjects. For Patho, attend Devesh Mishra's classes.
I would recommend first knowing your strengths and weaknesses. Polish your strengths further, and improve on your weak areas.
