Which is better for neurosurgery CMC Vellore or AIIMS Delhi?
To pursue a Neurosurgery course, both colleges are equally good in their own ways. But AIIMS Delhi should definitely be your first choice.
Here’s why:
- They have a well adapted and constructive system.
- They have a huge patient load.
- You will have proper support from the latest technology, excellent guides, renowned consultants and well equipped labs and machinery.
- They follow dedicated patient management protocol, incorporating latest techniques into their surgical practice.

- They also have animal training labs where you can work on your microsurgical skills.
Delhi is a very lively city offering various opportunities through numerous national and international conferences conducted here frequently.

Since nearly 75 percent of the IIM Ahmedabad graduates end up having unsuccessful careers, does it make more sense to give the GRE-TOEFL and go abroad for an MS?
Firstly your opinion regarding IIM Ahmedabad is false. IIM Ahmedabad is one of the best B Schools with its alumni working at big firms. Your claim that 75% of IIM Ahmedabad graduates end up having unsuccessful careers is wronged.
Maybe your definition of success is a bit retarded. Success does not necessarily mean becoming a CEO, CTO, or CFO. Success depends on how much your hard work and efforts are paying you back. IIM Ahmedabad excels in this aspect as the placements provided by this B School are top-notch.
It’s the massive impact caused by IIM Ahmedabad’s alumni that big firms keep visiting the campus again and again. They know the surety of the talent and offer big packages. Apart from these, MNCs worldwide are now hiring from this B School. The brand IIMA is recognized across the world.
Now if you are confused between MS and MBA I think you should analyze your own interests. If you are tech-savvy and prefer technological work over management then even choosing MS can make you successful.
I am a B.E. first year student at UIT RGPV, Bhopal, India with branch in ECE. I want to do my MS from the USA. How should I prepare?
To get admission to an MS degree from any US university there are 3 different important factors - GPA; GRE and TOEFL scores and SOP supported by LOR’s.
- The first factor has to be maintained at your previous academic place. You must score above the minimum grade to be eligible to sit in the entrance exam. Focus on the coursework and score as high as possible.
- In the junior year of your academic degree, start preparing for the GRE and TOEFL because they are not easy and can create a little bit of a problem.
- The third factor is the SOP supported by the LOR’s. Here SOP means a letter of recommendation and LOR is the professor who taught you the courses. Find a faculty who will help you in your research and write a supervised thesis to be included in the SOP which can prove to be a great benefit for you.
Try to answer few questions by yourself about the purpose of the degree. Will it really be helpful in the future? Form small steps and slowly go for the final decision. Optimize your plan after you get the answers to these questions and then formulate a plan.

What is the daily schedule of IISC Bangalore MS students?
Every student has their own different schedule. However, a general day for an MS student at IISc Bangalore can be summed up in the following points given below.
-
Breakfast is provided every morning from 7.30 AM to 9.30 A.M. Some of the students have classes from 8 A.M., so they have to get up before that, have breakfast, and go to class. For those who don’t have classes, they have to attend labs for their research work.
-
Lunchtime is from around 1 P.M. to 2 P.M. After having lunch the students again have to go to their labs to continue the work.
-
Students generally take evening breaks for snacks and tea in IISC canteen- Prakruti. Sometimes you will find professors accompanying the students for tea. Many students play some outdoor games during this time.
-
Then again students go to their labs and work until dinner time. After dinner, many students hang out with their friends or watch movies or go for a walk. Sometimes if the workload is high, they have to work even after dinner.
MS students spend most of the time in their labs. They also have to adjust their T.A. work in this hectic schedule whenever required. This is how the day of an MS student looks like from Monday to Saturday. On Sundays, they relax in their rooms or go to movies, spend their day with their friends.
Since nearly 75 percent of the IIM Ahmedabad graduates end up having unsuccessful careers, does it make more sense to give the GRE-TOEFL and go abroad for an MS?
The term 'successful’ is relative. What exactly is your yardstick for being successful? Is it becoming CEO? Or doing well in your respective career and creating a solid impact?
Undoubtedly, IIMA is one of the top business schools in India and in the world. Not just the excellent academics but also the huge alumni network are the proof of that. Most of the alumni are recruited in senior management positions of reputed MNCs around the globe. It might be wrong to say that 75 percent of the IIM Ahmedabad graduates are unsuccessful because if this was the scenario there, there would be no reason for the MNCs to continue hiring from there.
The alumni impact in the industry is one of the major reasons why reputed MNCs come every year to IIM Ahmedabad for recruitment. IIM Ahmedabad has a brand value known across the world. You can check on Linkedin, to see where the alums of IIMA are currently working. This will give you the right idea about the success rate of the graduates at IIM Ahmedabad.
Success is a very relative term; it can be seen as a different thing to different people depending on their mindset and goals. If your definition of success is to only become a CEO/CFO/CTO, then even prime institutes like Harvard or Stanford won’t be able to satisfy your expectation. So, defining success in a single way will not be justified.
Also, doing MS or MBA is totally dependent on your interest and skills, and not the success rate. If you are passionate about the technology world, MS is the best choice for you. On the other hand, if you are passionate about business and management, MBA is your destination. At last, it would be fair enough to say that if you are really into your field and job, nothing can stop you from being successful, Good Luck.
