Scholarships that apply here

Re-apply every year, not once. Full working-out in Paying for it.

Recognised means graduates need no extra clearance to register with a state medical council.

Before you rank it

• →Category certificates differ by route: central OBC-NCL format for MCC's AIQ, the state's own format for state counselling. One certificate rarely serves both.
• →Reporting is in person with originals — no proxy. Keep a signed receipt for every document handed over.

What the numbers can't tell you — ask a senior

Five questions worth one phone call before this college goes high on your list. Current students answer these honestly; brochures don't.

• ?Hostel reality — rooms per student, mess quality, and whether first-years actually get a seat or hunt for PGs.
• ?Patient load — clinical exposure is the education. A packed OPD teaches more than a famous name with an empty ward.
• ✓Internship stipend — the state column in NMC's disclosure shows ₹30,000/month (internet-sourced); this college's own figure wasn't disclosed — ask.
• ?Faculty presence — vacancies in key departments show up in NMC inspection reports and in seniors' complaints long before rankings move.
