PG medical counseling and the rush

This month I have had to travel all the way from Kolkata to Surat in Gujarat to get myself admitted in Govt. Medical College Surat in MD(Anesthesiology) course as a part of the AIPGMEE-12 online counseling. The initial part of the journey was OK as I reached Ahmedabad from Kolkata by flight. Later from Ahmedabad, I took the early morning Karnavati Express to reach Surat and complete the admission procedure.


I found the town of Surat a very agreeable one with warm and helpful people all around, and good roads. The weather was very hot and made the repeated shuffling between the University and the Medical College a tiresome process especially on day-one (thanks to an improperly informed University Staff).
Also what many of us candidates felt was the lack of training to the staff who were involved with the admission procedure of the AIPG students that led to some confusions and delays through the process.


I think this was because online counseling was done for AIPG candidates for the 1st time this year and the staff seemed a bit confused on some related things. But one thing to stress here is the helpful attitude of the College Staff who were attending to our admissions. People here seemed very polite and helpful.


It took us two days to complete the admission formalities here and now am waiting for the second round of the counseling to start ..... lets see what comes up next...
