MBBS from Shimoga Institute of Medical Sciences (2015)

You need to secure a very good rank in the NIMHANS entrance exam, this could be among the top 4 or 5. Here are some things about the course you should know about beforehand.

  • It is a 5-year course post MBBS and the course won't entirely be in NIMHANS.
  • The residents will be posted for ½  years to other hospitals like Victoria for experience in general medicine. 3 ½  years however will be in NIMHANS.
  • As a resident, you will be expected to participate in OPD's, handle in-patients, and also can be posted for emergency duties. 
  • Working hours will vary, but expect 12-hour duties on any day and 24 hours during emergency postings. 
  • The students will be posted in departments of Neurology predominantly and also Psychiatry, Neuro-surgery, Pathology, and Electrophysiology for short periods.
  • The DM course is a great opportunity to learn about Neurology in detail. 
  • You will be exposed to a wide variety of cases to standard modalities of treatment. 
  • The caseload can get a bit hectic. Try to stay calm in these situations.

As it is an institute of national importance, there are plenty of research opportunities for interested students. At the end of the course, you are expected to have a thorough knowledge of clinical aspects of Neurology, investigational modalities not limited to EEG, EMG, MRI, CT, etc. Thus it opens a huge scope of learning.

How do I secure a DM neurology seat in NIMHANS?

It’s quite challenging to secure a DM Neurology in NIMHANS. One needs a very good rank under the AIR-5 range. NIMHANS conducts the best neurology-centered examination for students. 

During the initial 2 years, you will hardly be able to study amidst the chaos of problems related to neurology. It’s only after 2 years when you come back to college that you will be able to study theoretical neurology topics like neurosurgery, pathology, etc.

If you are a research enthusiast, you will also have access to the Research Institute for Neurology. Additionally, you can work on some projects related to neurology like control of the human brain, dog motion control, etc. 

All this combined may help you get a seat in SM Neurology at NIMHANS.
