What is the difference in doing a six-year MCh neurology course in NIMHANS and in other colleges in India?

Pradnya TripathiNIMHANS (2022)

I am not aware of other colleges but since my cousin is currently pursuing a six-year MCh neurology course in NIMHANS, I have better knowledge in that regard.

NIMHANS has a huge patient load and the OPDs are open till late hours in the evening. The cases entertained are very diverse ranging from PIVD to brainstem gliomas.
There is a dedicated trauma team that receives around 100–150 trauma cases every day from mild concussions to SAH. The OT runs on all working days and every day in case of emergency.
Some of the most common surgeries conducted here are aneurysmal clipping to functional surgeries such as DBS or functional hemispherectomy.
The academics aren’t compromised and general classes are conducted throughout the week. Here, primary importance is given to clinical exposure so students get a lot of raw material to work with to gain clinical knowledge.
You will also have enough research facilities to satiate your research thirst.

Overall, you will have a lot of opportunities and your schedule will be extremely busy while pursuing the 6-year MCh neurology course.

Is there any placement criteria at NIMHANS after doing an M.Phil in clinical psychology? How does it work there after completing the course?

Vihan Patel,former Junior Research Fellow at National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (2014-2015)

According to the reviews online, there is no placement drive initiated by the institute, NIMHANS for M.Phil students.

But it is seen that the course attracts offers from private companies or counseling initiatives. The JRF or SRF posts within NIMHANS would have a preference for M.Phil’s since they know how they function.

Many students continue their Ph.D. in the same department post-M.Phil. Some also joined a project and worked on admission procedures abroad for a Ph.D.

In the field of Clinical Psychology, there are no placement criteria after completing your course. But completing your M.Phil program from a premier institute such as NIMHANS will be of value. They are required among many hospitals, colleges, and clinics.

After completing the course, make sure you apply for any vacancy for the post of Clinical Psychologist.

What are the courses available in NIMHANS for an MBBS doctor?

Aditya ChaterjeeMBBS Medical School, Jaipur National University (2020)

One of my cousins graduated from NIMHANS and according to him, here are the courses available for an MBBS doctor in NIMHANS.

MCh in Neurosurgery
DM in Neurology
MD in Psychiatry
Fellowship in Psychiatric Rehabilitation
Ph.D. in Clinical Neurosciences
M.Phil in Neurosciences
Ph.D. in Neurophysiology
M.Phil in Neurophysiology
M.Phil in Biophysics

If you are interested in research you can choose Ph.D. in Clinical Neurosciences or Ph.D. in Psychiatry. There is a direct entry after MBBS for MCh in Neurosurgery apart from DM in Neurology and MD in Psychiatry.

Which way is better to do an MS general surgery and then take up neurosurgery as a superspeciality or the direct 6yrs Mch Neurosurgery course offered by AIIMS and NIMHANS after an MBBS?

Swastika RoyMBBS Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery Degrees, Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences

I know a person who is pursuing Neurosurgery and he does not feel it is not necessary to go through 3 years of MS general surgery before taking up neurosurgery. As a 6-year student, he was supposed to rotate through 10 months of general surgery.

He did not find general surgical skills that he acquired during the rotation, of much use in neurosurgery, other than the very basic knot tying and suturing skills, which can also be acquired through dedicated lab practice.

The other techniques followed in neurosurgery are significantly different from those followed in general surgery. The extensive use of the surgical microscope and bipolar coagulation for hemostasis distinguishes this surgical discipline from general surgery.

Today, neurosurgeons typically use access surgeons (thoracic surgeons or urologists) if they want to perform any unconventional approaches to the spine, which is much safer for the patient.

A lot of post-MS students don’t find much difference in incompetence or spectrum of surgeries and they are comfortable when compared with those having gone through six years of courses.

Globally, there is a trend towards running integrated courses only. Also, in India, pursuing a 6 years’ course after MBBS means you will have one less entrance examination to worry about.
