Here are 10 things I would tell a student who is about to start MBBS from KGMU-
- It is an excellent college which will help you become a skilled medical professional.
- Stay away from caste based politics. Do not attend caste and category based meets. Be liberal and respect all your colleagues, regardless of their caste/region/religion.
- Do attend OPDs, clinical posting and present cases. This will provide you with a lot of experience.
- Non vegetarians have much more food options than vegetarians. But even as a vegetarian, you will get good meals.
- Do visit Hazratganj. Sitting on a bench in the evenings and watching passersby is the best thing to do there.
- Explore the sports room, gym and library of Sardar Patel Hostel. Chakraborty hostel has a nice swimming pool.
- Lucknow is an amazing city, do explore it.
- Start your PG entrance preparation early on. The state of UPPG exams is bad, but don’t lose hope, you still have a good chance elsewhere.
- Studies must be your first priority.
Remember all these things, study well, and make the most of your stay at KGMU.
