NIMHANS: 2 Answered Questions

What is the stipend offered for a DM in neurology at NIMHANS? Their prospectus is not clear.

Deeksha Seth,studied at National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (2017)

The post-MBBS neurology course is taught by a Junior Resident for two years, for which he is paid around 55–65k depending on tax savings and HRA. After this, he serves as a senior resident for 3 years and receives a salary in the range of m 65–88k depending on tax savings and HRA. Usually, there is an increment of 3k every year.

Once MD is completed, you will continue to be treated as a SR and the pay will also remain the same. However, when the next pay commission is due, there will be an increase of around 15k in the salary.

Hope this helps you!

Which is better: An integrated five years course into DM neurology (NIMHANS) or completing my MD in general medicine and then specializing in DM neurology?

Bidita GhoseLives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

In my opinion, it’s best to complete an MD in medicine first rather than pursuing DM Neuro directly after MBBS.

It is so because M.B.B.S. students receive minimal clinical exposure and therefore their interest in a particular field might not be genuine. They might later regret their choice.

An integrated program is a 5-year program that requires a lot of commitment. So, if you go for a field you are not interested in, you will be wasting 5 years of your life. Even if you are sure of your interest in neurology, you may not actually like it when you start working. That being said, it's better that you do MD in medicine, have first-hand exposure to all the specialties, and then choose one for you.

People often choose integrated courses so as to save one year of education. However, they fail to recognize the risks involved.

Ultimately, unless you love neurology passionately and have enough exposure in the same, go for direct DM, else completing MD would be the safest bet.
