Questions Asked On JIPMER, Pondicherry

How is life at JIPMER?

SS
Shreyansh Roy Singh Posted On : October 4th, 2021
Masters from Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research,Pondicherry (2018)

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:

  • Sports: The institute has a renowned central open-air basketball, volleyball, and football ground, separate from one another. Students generally opt to play after a day-long of grueling hours.
  • Literary Events: The fact that JIPMER is quite inclined towards the English language becomes vividly evident by seeing several literary events, alongside major quiz competitions.
  • Cultural Events: There are a bunch of events taking place every year. Most essentially, the environment of the institute is quite pleasant and not at all strict.

Hope this gives you an idea of what life will be like at JIPMER.

MBBS from Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Pondicherry (2021)

Life is exciting as an MBBS student in JIPMER. One of my friends studied there, and here’s what he mentioned about it.

  • The campus is lush green. The weather is always good with clear skies and on clear nights stars are visible. 
  • There is very little pollution so the stars are clearly visible at night. 
  • The college starts at 8 AM and the professors are very punctual at that time so they don’t tolerate even a slight delay. Punctuality is a must here. 
  • The students always have to dress appropriately and are not allowed to wear slippers.
  • The exams conducted are lengthy with less time duration however it prepares students for the best. 
  • It’s sometimes hard to deal with a patient in just 60 minutes even after knowing that they are in a lot of pain. 
  • Students sometimes lose their cool and their patience. 
  • The faculties are really nice and helpful. 
  • They are also well-known personalities in their respective fields with lots of research or doctoral background. 

In general the academic pressure was very high and students were loaded with many exams and strict attendance policy. You get to meet amazing intellectuals as guest speakers or during organized camps.

Whats the least one have to score to grab a seat through jipmer?

SA
Shiksha Ahuja Posted On : October 4th, 2021
Master of Public Health [MPH] at Jawaharlal Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education and Research

The cut-off usually depends upon the category you belong from. That being said, if considering that you belong to the General Category, and you are not a resident of Pondicherry, then the cut-off percentile is around 50. 

The cut-off is based on the percentile received in the exam. Here are the recent cutoff trends. 

Category (As per Guidelines) Minimum Percentile Required
General Unreserved (UR / OCI / NRI) 50
General Unreserved (UR) OPH 45
ST / SC / OBC / OPH 40

Generally, for UR Non-Pondicherry candidates, the available seats are almost about 65, the breakdown of which can be reported as 50 in Pondicherry itself, and 15 in Karaikal. The top 65 rankers are rather marked safe in the list.

Now, if you look closely at the AIIMS and JIPMER merit lists, there are numerous toppers that appear in each of the respective lists. Quite clearly, at least about 30 to 35 candidates choose to leave JIPMER to enlist at AIIMS, New Delhi. 

That being said, it is quite natural that the top 100 students will secure a seat in JIPMER under the UR category. The number however can drop down if a candidate is moving to some other college.

Which is better AIIMS or JIPMER?

PS
Prakash Sinha Posted On : May 13th, 2022
MBBS from All India Institute of Medical Sciences

Among these AIIMS Delhi is better. It has a large hospital, more patient flow, so you will get better learning opportunities. AIIMS also has a better infrastructure and offers better resources for learning. It has better research facilities and funding as well. If you are interested in research AIIMS will be the better choice. 

JIPMER has a huge batch size. So, students don’t get the required attention from the faculty. Whereas, AIIMS has a concise batch size and a better student-teacher ratio.‘Pulse’ the medical festival of AIIMS Delhi is the largest in the country.

JIPMER is really good and you will be happy to be a part of it. Here are some things you should know about before making your decision.

Academics

  • JIPMER as an undergraduate medical school is pretty top-notch. Most departments take an active interest in lectures and clinical teaching. 
  • Regular internal tests especially in the first and second years keep you busy and active. 
  • Labs are well maintained. 
  • You will have Early-Clinical-Exposure classes, Labour room postings, and a Surgical Clerkship before the internship.

Hostel

  • A twin-sharing room will be provided for the first 2-3 years. 
  • You will be shifted to a single room from third-year till the end of your internship. 
  • The hostel facilities are decent.

Food

  • The common mess serves both North Indian and South Indian food.

MBBS from Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College and Hospital (2022)

After doing some research online, I got to know about a lot of books that could be useful to you. The Books and strategies to be followed for the JIPMER MBBS exam are as follows: -

  • Physics: - Preparing for the NEET exam will give you a clear idea to crack the Physics section in JIPMER. Try to calculate fast but accurately.
  • Chemistry: - NCERT is enough for Chemistry in any medical exam. Go through the theories and the special cases and memorize them. Also, go through last year papers
  • Biology: - This also can be done by NCERT alone however solving questions frequently will help you retain the theory part quickly and accurately. Around 40-50 questions are generally asked from the NCERT textbook.
  • English: - For English ‘Wren & Martin’ would be more than enough. It has covered all the important portions accurately in a precise manner.
  • Logical Reasoning: - For this visit any website and solve at least 10 questions enough of easy level. Logical questions are not that hard and can be solved then and there without any practice.

If you diligently follow these books and revise them enough, you are then good to go for the exam. Learn your strengths and weaknesses among all the topics, prioritize them and prepare accordingly.

Which college should I choose, MAMC or JIPMER?

SB
Sonali Bose Posted On : October 5th, 2021
M.B.B.S Medical, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Pondicherry (2020)

First and foremost you should know that both MAMC (Maulana Azad Medical College) and JIPMER (Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research) are amazing institutes. It is bit tough to decide which college is better but still I would help you in understanding the facts on which you can decide which college to choose:

  • To get into one of the colleges you have to be a good scorer in NEET which is crucial.
  • Geographically, the students who want to go for North India and he/she who has a good score, approach Maulana Azad Medical College at first. As the environment is quite conducive.
  • Contrast to this, those students who belong from Southern Part of India prefer JIPMER as they get the same atmosphere as their home.
Categories MAMC JIPMER
Course Fee 11,000 19,000
Highest CTC 25 LPA 26 LPA
Average CTC 16 LPA 18 LPA

But let me assure you that getting into either of the institutes is a pride for a student. And there is no other factor to say no to any of the colleges. So you can take admission in either and move forward.

What is the dress code of students at jipmer?

SG
Sharayashi Ghose Posted On : October 18th, 2021
MBBS from Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Pondicherry (2016)

There is no specific dress code for the students. But you should dress professionally. Wearing jeans, half trousers, and T-shirts during normal college hours is considered inappropriate.

In general, girls can wear Indian clothing like kurta, salwar kameez while the guys are expected to wear formal shirts, cotton pants, and shoes in the college and hospital premises. Apron (lab coat) and ID card are mandatory for hospital or clinical rounds.

Except for this, you can wear all sorts of dresses.
