KMC: 3 Answered Questions

How difficult is it to study in KMC Manipal for a North Indian? One of my friends studied in KMC Mangalore but lives with her mom because of issues like language, food, etc.

Bidita GhoseLives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Trust me there are no issues at all for a North Indian to study at KMC Manipal. Almost 60–70 % of students are North Indians. Almost everyone you have to interact with knows Hindi. However, you might face issues with clinical postings because most patients have only a basic understanding of Hindi. You will have to learn basic Kannada for which classes are taken in college in the second year.

The food is not a big issue at all because breakfast is South Indian comprising dishes like mini dosas, idlis, vadas. Bread, butter, and jam are served daily. Students are given rajma rice, Chole Bhature, and paneer once a week each. The roti served is very good and you will get Dal and rice daily. 

Additionally, there are many that sell delicious food around the campus. There is also a mall within a 10-minute walking distance so you can visit Pizza Hut, Domino's, and CCD anytime.

How are the PG results of KMC Manipal, Mangalore students?

Raktim Tarafdar
Pratik ParikhLives in Bangalore

KMC students perform well in PG entrances. The PG result mainly depends upon individual hard work and MBBS training. 

As a student of KMC Manipal, I can shed some light on my institute. The MBBS training offered by this college is really good. The faculty is top-notch, and classes are held regularly. You’ll be offered high clinical exposure. 

Many of my seniors have cracked PG entrances right after internship or a year drop. They got into top colleges with the stream of their choice. KMC Manipal is especially a great choice if you plan to move abroad. 

Some of the exam questions are based on the USMLE pattern. Also, the college holds seminars to guide students on USMLE preparation. This is why the majority USMLE selects are KMC Manipal alumni. 

Thus, KMC is a good choice for your MBBS, and you’ll get ample facilities over here to ace your PG entrances.
