Life at JIPMER,Puducherry

I wanted to be a doctor so I took up the mbbs course.There is a lot of hands-on learning in the clinical postings so it's very useful.The only negative is that there are a lot of exams-there's an internal once every 2 to 3 months

We have a mandatory internship which pays out around 30k per month currently There is a lot of experience that can be gained through the internship We have various postings such as surgery medicine psm uhc rhc etc

The tuition fee is around 12k/year(academic) The hostel fee is also around 12-15k/year It's 12k for a double room and a 15k for a single room There are no campus employment opportunities as such This is very less compared to the average fee in a private medical college which is about 15 lakhs/year

There are 2 fests usually Connaissance-which is an academic fest held in the month of June And Spandan -a cultural fest held usually in the last week of August We get free access to MYLOFT and Up-to-date as part of the library. We have 2 basketball courts a tennis court a Futsal court 8 indoor badminton courts a cricket/hockey/football ground at jipmer

There's a cupboard and small shelf for each person in the rooms. There are 2 mess-common mess and harvey mess operating currently The food is pretty good and the menu keeps changing every month The registration process for the hostel happens along with the admission

U have to write NEET to enter The cutoff is around rank 220 in general I got rank 149 in neet 2021 and I availed by seat through general quota NEET is a yearly exam with easy difficulty.The main focus is on the accuracy part as with even one mistake your rank can drop by hundreds or thousands. I think the whole process should be made more transparent.

The faculty student ratio is around 1:20. The faculty at JIPMER are highly qualified and the ones passionate about teaching do teach incredibly well The faculty are very approachable and often give their emails /phone numbers to contact them if any doubts arise.
