    My college experience

    Verified Review

    College Infrastructure

    Our college assures all the facilities for the students. College library has air-conditioned reading rooms. Laboratories are well equipped with all the scientific instruments. Wi-Fi is also available with good network connectivity.

    This is the best government medical College in Punjab.

    College Infrastructure

    The college area has all the necessary requirements, although it gets really hot during summers. The apparatus for practicals aren't that suffice for a batch of 225 students. Hostels are good in infrastructure, but the washrooms are not hygienic enough and aren't regularly cleaned. Also, there are very very long power cuts and you aren't allowed to keep inverters :(. Hostel doesn't even have generators.

    Good college

    Verified Review

    College Infrastructure

    Our college provides facilities like Wi-Fi, libraries, good labs and dissection halls for medical students. The infrastructure of our college is good. Quality of hostels is not as good as it should be because at night dogs throw the dustbin. There is a mess in the corridor. The hostel does not have good infrastructure.

    can I get admission in new medical college of UP with 400 marks SC category??

    Hello,

    To predict whether you will definitely get a seat in a college is an uphill task as cut-offs for colleges change every depending upon several factors such as-

    • Number of applicants in NEET exam

    • NEET question paper difficulty level

    • Score of the candidates in NEET 2021 result

    •  MBBS/BDS seat matrix 2021

    Also since the new Medical colleges have been added, one can't predict as to what rank or what marks will they close the admission at . Things will become more clear only after the declaration of the results.


    NEET 2021 Cut-off goes like :-

    • General - 50th percentile

    • SC/ST/OBC - 40th percentile

    • General-PwD - 45th percentile

    • SC/ST/OBC-PwD - 40th percentile

    seat in govt qouta ms general surgery general category..rank 13673

    hope you are doing well. With regards to your question I want to mention that with a rank of 13673 in NEET PG, and matching it against the previous years rank vs marks cutoff trends in different government medical Colleges in Punjab you have a pretty good chance of securing a seat  in two Government Medical colleges in Punjab namely Government Medical college, Amritsar and Guru Gobind Singh Medical college and Hospital, Faridkot. Now after securing a seat your branch of specialisation can vary. You have good chances of securing a seat in MS General surgery but keeping in mind the fierce competition nowadays its better to keep an alternative always. I am sharing you the article which may help you to a great extent. Hope it helps. Thank you
