One of my friends is a part of JIPMER, pursuing medical sciences. As per what he mentions, life at the institute goes something like the following.
Academic Profile:
Medical schools are usually tough to be at from the very beginning. The semesters are tough, especially during the first 3 years of the course period. Moreover, if talking about internships, it can be equally toilsome in more than one way. It is best to complete at least one chapter every day, in order to avoid hassle during the ultimate moment.
Non-Academics:
Hope this gives you an idea of what life will be like at JIPMER.
