Hi,
AFMC (Armed Forces Medical College) is a great achievement because it combines medical education with military training. Before joining AFMC, you should prepare both mentally and physically. First, you need to gather all documents – NEET scorecard, admit card, certificates, domicile, caste certificate (if applicable), and medical fitness certificate. AFMC also conducts a personal interview and medical examination, so be prepared for questions related to general awareness, current affairs, and your motivation to serve in the armed forces. On the physical side, maintaining good fitness is crucial – practice running, basic exercises, and keep a healthy lifestyle since AFMC has strict medical and physical standards.
Also, be aware that AFMC students are bonded with the armed forces, meaning after graduation you serve as a medical officer in the Indian Army, Navy, or Air Force. So mentally prepare for a disciplined lifestyle and dedication to the nation.
