KGMU: 8 Answered Questions

How are hostel facilities in KGMU, Lucknow for MBBS students?

Namrata Das

KGMU has some of the best hostel facilities among UP government medical colleges. First-year students are allotted a new C.V. hostel for boys and a V.L. hall for girls.

New C.V.

This hostel has double occupancy rooms and has the best facilities.

The rooms are well-maintained and hygiene is maintained through regular cleaning and moping of washrooms. The food served in the mess is average. Here is what the New C.V. hall looks like

KGMU

T.G. hostel

Second-year boys are transferred to the T.G. hostel which is 1–2 km away outside campus. The hostel is an 8-story apartment-like building. The hostel has single occupancy rooms for everyone with a recreation room. The recreation room has pool tables and T.T. Tables, a 2 dumble and one barbell gym, and a canteen. This hostel has average cleaning facilities. This is what the hostel looks like

KGMU

S.P. Hostel

For the remaining years, the students are allotted are S.P. hostel on the campus itself. It's a huge hostel with double occupancy rooms. It has amazing sports facilities like a badminton court, gym, a T.T. room and an attached ground and basketball court with it.

PG students are allotted the Nehru P.G. hostel, Gautam Buddha, and Mahamaya hostel which offers a lavish and comfortable hostel lifestyle.

Overall, despite being a government college, KGMU has excellent hostel facilities.

What are the drawbacks of doing MBBS from KGMU?

Raktim Tarafdar

Here are a few drawbacks of pursuing an MBBS from KGMU

KGMU does not have an academic environment and research culture at par with the Delhi colleges like JIPMER and CMC Vellore.
KGMU has a very rigid and rigorous curriculum sparing no time for students to do MCQ for PG while in most colleges, the classroom sessions are less so they have more time to indulge in MCQ. So most KGMU passouts are great doctors but are less practiced for the PG exam.

However, these cons can easily be overlooked considering the unending pros the institute has to offer.

Is it worth leaving KGMU seat for AMU seat of an MBBS taking in consideration the UP bond and internal PG reservation?

Savi Sharma

You are right in considering the UP bond and internal PG reservation while making your choice.

Internal Reservation- JNMC offers 50% internal PG quota, which is completely free of caste based reservation. This is beneficial if you plan to pursue PG after your graduation. Also, you’ll have better chances of getting clinical seats here at around 23k AIR.

Rural Bond- Unlike KGMU, JNMC doesn’t come under the two year rural bond. This is a big relief in itself.

Location- Location wise though, Lucknow is far more developed than Aligarh.

You may choose JNMC (AMU) over any of these top colleges of UP- KGMU, RMLIMS, GSVM, MLN and LLRM. The reason being, as already mentioned by you.

What 10 things would you tell a student who is about to start MBBS from KGMU?

Savi Sharma

Here are 10 things I would tell a student who is about to start MBBS from KGMU-

It is an excellent college which will help you become a skilled medical professional.
Stay away from caste based politics. Do not attend caste and category based meets. Be liberal and respect all your colleagues, regardless of their caste/region/religion.
Do attend OPDs, clinical posting and present cases. This will provide you with a lot of experience.
Non vegetarians have much more food options than vegetarians. But even as a vegetarian, you will get good meals.
Do visit Hazratganj. Sitting on a bench in the evenings and watching passersby is the best thing to do there.
Explore the sports room, gym and library of Sardar Patel Hostel. Chakraborty hostel has a nice swimming pool.
Lucknow is an amazing city, do explore it.
Start your PG entrance preparation early on. The state of UPPG exams is bad, but don’t lose hope, you still have a good chance elsewhere.
Studies must be your first priority.

Remember all these things, study well, and make the most of your stay at KGMU.

Which is better to join for an MBBS, GMC Patiala, GMC Mumbai, Seth GS Medical College, KGMU, or GMCH Chandigarh?

Advaith BhaskarLives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India (2000–present)

Based on the opinions within the medical community, I will provide some information on these colleges-

GSMC- It is a highly renowned college. High rankers in UG and PG entrance choose it for pursuing their medical studies. Clinical teaching is very good over here.
Grant Medical College Mumbai- It is one of the top 10 medical colleges of India. But its fees have skyrocketed recently. The campus is not in a good shape too. However, this college is one of the only 5 colleges whose degrees are approved in Singapore. So if you plan to pursue your PG abroad, a degree from GMC Mumbai will open the doors of Singapore for you.
KGMU- It is one of the best medical colleges in North India, and especially UP. It is well reputed, and the campus is really good. The infrastructure is top notch, better than most government colleges. The teachers are decent, and the students are hardworking. You’ll get a good clinical exposure over here. For an outsider though, adjusting to the UP culture might be a little difficult at first.

I don’t know much about GMC Patiala and GMCH Chandigarh, so I won’t comment on these two.

Make sure to choose a college with hardworking students. Good company will motivate you to study harder and excel in your field. Food and language barriers aren’t much of a problem in the long run.

Which college should I join for an MBBS, KGMU or AMU (I can pay for the 2-year bond at KGMU)?

Raktim Tarafdar

The best way to determine the right college for M.B.B.S. is to analyze the pros and cons of these colleges individually

KGMU Pros

Ikr of the highly ranked medical college ranked 45 out of 200 colleges in India in 2023 by NIRF.
It’s located in a more developed and bigger city and has a huge beautiful campus.
Offers excellent clinical exposure
It has a 50% state PG quota
It receives huge funds from the state government.

KGMU Cons

It’s a State medical college
It’s pay scale is quite less in comparison to Central colleges
It has less number of pg seats
The college has caste-based reservations.
Students are required to serve the rural service bond

JNMC AMU Pros

It’s a central government institute so has better pay grades as compared to state colleges
There is a 50% internal reservation, with no caste boundaries
Internal are also eligible for external seats so if you get a good rank you can easily get a seat in the open category.
It has a better UG-PG seat ratio
You don’t have to serve any kind of service bond
Better academic ambiance and clinical exposure.
A completely ragging-free campus

JNMC AMU Cons

There is no state quota in the PG
Does not have a very good reputation so receives less funding.
Aligarh is not a big city as compared to Lucknow.

Considering the above points, choose wisely!

How do MBBS students of KGMU Lucknow prepare for PG while there is strict internship?

Tezal Dahiya

Here are two ways for M.B.B.S. students of KGMU to prepare for PG

Complete the internship sincerely, alongside collecting information and compiling your notes to appear in the exam the following year.
The other option is to skip the internship postings wherever and whenever possible and give it all to prepare for the exams.

Now the choice is yours to make!

I have an option to choose from GMC/GSMC, Mumbai and KGMU lucknow for MBBS. Which college should I opt for?

Akriti Guptalives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

I will try to answer this query as per my limited knowledge.

As for GMC, its teaching standards have declined. The classes aren’t as rich as in previous times. Even the study culture isn’t as good now. Only the brand name remains. Because of this, GSMC is currently much better ranked than GMC. So if you are from Lucknow, choose KGMU over GMC Mumbai. MBBS is quite stressful, and homely support does a lot for mental health.

Both GSMC and KGMU are good medical colleges. Choosing between these is a bit difficult. Research on the condition of PG reservation at Maharashtra colleges, and Provincial Health Services (PHS) rule in UP. This will help you make a better decision.

Both GSMC Mumbai and KGMU are excellent choices.Choose between the two based on various factors that I have listed above.
