Can someone simultaneously prepare for both AIIMS PG and NEET PG?

KS
Kaushal Sharma Posted On : January 8th, 2021
Former MBBS at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi (2013-2018)

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.

Total Number of MD + MS + Diploma seats under NEET PG (Government + Private)

27,979

Total Number of MD+ MS+ Diploma Government seats under NEET PG

17,921

Total Number of MD + MS seats under AIIMS PG

680

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.

Is doing BCA from IGNOU worth it?

AV
Anish Verma Posted On : January 12th, 2021
BCA Computer Science, Indira Gandhi National Open University (2017)

It is true that doing a degree from a reputed college helps your career and getting admission in a reputed college should be a priority. But that does not necessarily mean, you won’t be able to succeed with a degree from a tier-3 college. 

IGNOU is good to go with for BCA. The curriculum is well-designed. However, you should give preference to regular courses over distance courses. 

Job Prospect:

  • As far as the job perspective is concerned, you can secure a good job if you have the required skillset and a good academic record. The university name has very little to do with it. 
  • If you want to get a job in the IT sector, then BCA from IGNOU is the best course offered in ODL mode.

Mode of Class:

Taking admission at IGNOU depends completely on you since IGNOU is a correspondence degree or a distance learning degree. 

  • For the courses like BCA or MCA, it is generally essential as well as mandatory for every admitted student to attend the practical classes, but IGNOU does not arrange such classes being a distance learning Institute that schedules classes only on weekends that is on Saturdays and Sundays.
  • But for someone who is working and still wants to pursue a degree, can go with IGNOU. This will not take much of your time as you will be able to attend your classes on weekends and by the end of three years, you will also be graduated.

Also, a project is assigned to the BCA students which are mandatory to complete but can only be done by yourself if you attend your class regularly. So, make a decision by taking all the points into consideration.

Which one should I choose: TAPMI, FORE, or LBSIM?

SR
Simpal Rai Posted On : February 28th, 2023
MCom from Indira Gandhi National Open University

Honestly speaking, TAPMI, FORE, and LBSIM are very similar in terms of curriculum. Many of my friends have completed PGDM from FORE and TAPMI. Even the comp ones that visit the campus for placements are very similar and not much comparison can be done between the 2 B Schools. The placements report too will reveal a similar list of companies visiting. Some minor differences between these B Schools are

  • TAPMI is a residential campus unlike FORE and therefore has an upper hand in this aspect. You can spend more time on group research and assignments.
  • FORE has a locational advantage compared to TAPMI as it is located in the capital city whereas TAPMI is situated on the Konkan Coast.

Recruiters consider all top 2 B Schools in the same league. What matters more than your B School choice is what you plan to do from your PGDM course.

Do hostels of IIM Kozhikode have single or double occupancy?

RS
Rishabh Singh Posted On : January 29th, 2024
Lives in banglore

My brother completed his PGP from IIM Kozhikode a few years back. 

According to him, first year PGP students are randomly allotted single/double/triple occupancy rooms. The allocation varies for boys and girls. Single occupancy rooms share a common washroom on the same floor. They do not have an AC facility, and common washrooms are not provided with geysers. 

Double occupancy rooms are provided with attached washrooms. Those rooms have ACs, and their washrooms have geysers. But the AC and geyser facility is available only after paying a monthly rent alongside the other fees. In the second year, there is an option to select either a single or double occupancy room. 

The hostel rooms are top class in comparison to other colleges. The balconies open to a scenic, resort like view. The hostel allocation process changes each year, based on the diversity ratio and batch strength.

How is mess food at NIT Silchar?

SB
Silvia Basu Posted On : August 25th, 2023
Studied at NIT Silchar (2019)

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.
