Reason to choose Hardinge and Be a HARDONIAN

After the NEET result was out, an online counselling procedure started on the website mcc.nic.in. The counselling was for the 15% All India quota, Delhi University colleges ( MAMC, LHMC , UCMS)and IPU (VMMC ). I had applied for the AIIMS, MAMC , VMMC, LHMC , UCMS in the respective sequence. According to my preference and ranking(7742), I was allotted to LHMC. After allotment to DU college one have to register with fmsc.ac.in I had done my schooling from Delhi itself through which I availed Delhi quota. Central OBC quota was also a major boon and was the no. 2 to be allowed a seat under the same category. The minimum age was 17 and qualifying marks were 133-107 for the OBC category (yet one needs a pretty good score to get admitted to such a prestigious college). After online allotment, we had to report to college within a period of 3days with our required documents. The procedure for physical verification was smooth and systematic.

To be a doctor was my dream and to achieve the same I had chosen MBBS. Lady Hardinge Medical College is one of the prestigious colleges in the nation. The teacher faculty ratio is also pretty decent. It depends on the department as well. As in Physiology, it is 1: 10, in Anatomy department the table is of 1: 30. All the teachers also belong to the cream colleges and universities of the country and keep themselves updated with the latest teaching methods. The exam schedule was handed over to us at the beginning itself but University had to make some changes to it due to the outbreak of COVID-19. The proffs were offline and were a bit tough. All the DU Medical Colleges had to give the professional exams together.

Internship has to be done in the hospital associated with the college. Postings are done in Smt. Sucheta Kriplani Hospital and Kalwati Saran Children Hospital. Some postings are done in Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital as well. Details of the stipend are yet unknown to me. Various PG courses are available here.

The fees is quite less as it is a central government institution. Just 1350 INR. There are various scholarships available for the learners here. But one must fulfil the criteria for them. During the internship, one gets a stipend as well. And up to final year there is no stipend .

There are 2 Fests conducted at LHMC - SPLASH the annual inter-college cultural fest and COBWEB the annual Intra college fest. SPLASH is one of the best college fests among all the DU colleges and it is usually in March -April. There is a 3-floor library and one floor completely for journals (current+previous ). The archive section has old books and journals before 1975. Due to lack of space sports activities are not so good but the different cultural societies are very much active throughout the year. Different societies are VIOLA - Dance, Jijeevisha - Drama, Aarohana - music, Inklings -literary, Vencedor - sports, Graffiti - Arts, Belleza -fashion, Perspective - photography society. Students usually are active in different social groups. Namely groups active in my college are MSAI, AMSA, NMO and many other. Student leadership missions are also there under the guidance of the professors.

The hostel is provided to the students by the institute. In the first year, the hostel room is shared among 3 people, All India quota students are allotted first and after that 2-3 rounds of allotment goes for Delhi Quota students. The allotment is purely based on the distance from the college of their native area. Most students get the room. In the 2nd year, hostellers are shifted to other blocks and now the room is shared among 2people. Single rooms are given in internship.
