Life at VIMS

I've always wanted to become a neurosurgeon. And this course is gonna aid me in all my pursuits. This course is going to give me a degree and also makes me eligible to pursue my PG in my field of interest. The only area of improvement I would suggest would be the mode of conducting exams. Exams are conducted thrice a year. (Internals). The difficulty level matches that of our final papers.

The tuition fee was very disappointing for our batch. There was a huge rise from 18 thousand to 65 thousand. The rise wasn't even justified as we do not see any extra benefits. The complete cost of our education would be around 1 lac per year. The scholarships available are NSP and SSP.

I have had a great campus life, especially considering that we've got to enjoy in every single college event . Annual fests like college day was conducted. Also, Karnataka rajyotsava and Ganesh chaturthi are celebrated with great ecstasy. The infrastructure is great. But cleanliness should be worked on.

The admission process was hectic and time consuming. There was no proper organisation. Families were lined up waiting for their turn. The staff wasn't friendly either. But overall, the experience wasn't that bad. The application form and related information can be taken from the vims website.

The faculty to student ratio is quite good. Although students are many in comparison to the professors, but the professors are great in what they do and make sure they're available to every student. Their approach to teaching is very systematic and are very good mentors. They not only impart their knowledge to us, but also mould us into developing all the qualities that a good doctor needs to have. We don't get to interact with every teacher daily. But at one point of time, there's one teacher available for a couple of students all the time.
