How is life at JIPMER?
Posted On - Oct 4, 2021Life at JIPMER is extremely hectic yet very productive. A typical day begins at 8 in the morning for the MBBS students. The sleep-deprived students run for the first class often reaching late.
MBBS students have clinics from 10 while first-year students have dissection hall classes. Clinics are very intriguing wherein students are dressed up as doctors carrying stethoscopes. Lunch starts at 1 pm and lasts an hour.
The clinic classes are followed by afternoon classes from 2-4:30. The end of the classes at 4:30 marks the end of the day as well and students are free to do whatever they want. Students usually hang out with their friends after their hectic schedules. During tests, students can be seen in the library or pacing up and down the hostel corridor. Yet, we have our times of joy too. Every few months there are games tournaments. The campus life is fun and the annual fest, Spandan, is hosted in the first week of September each year.
Overall it's a continuous cycle of study, eat, and sleep with occasional fun moments with your friends!
One of my friends is a part of JIPMER, pursuing medical sciences. As per what he mentions, life at the institute goes something like the following.
Academic Profile:
Medical schools are usually tough to be at from the very beginning. The semesters are tough, especially during the first 3 years of the course period. Moreover, if talking about internships, it can be equally toilsome in more than one way. It is best to complete at least one chapter every day, in order to avoid hassle during the ultimate moment.
Non-Academics:
- Sports: The institute has a renowned central open-air basketball, volleyball, and football ground, separate from one another. Students generally opt to play after a day-long of grueling hours.
- Literary Events: The fact that JIPMER is quite inclined towards the English language becomes vividly evident by seeing several literary events, alongside major quiz competitions.
- Cultural Events: There are a bunch of events taking place every year. Most essentially, the environment of the institute is quite pleasant and not at all strict.
Hope this gives you an idea of what life will be like at JIPMER.
