Expert Tips from Radical Education
1. Be realistic, not emotional– Always shortlist colleges not just by name but by feasibility based on past cutoffs and your category.
2. Government or Private – weigh wisely– Govt. colleges are budget-friendly, but a good private college with strong clinical exposure is a solid option too.
3. Don’t copy someone else’s list.– Your marks, category, budget, and goals are unique. Your preference list should be too.
4. Use this time to do deep research.– Go beyond the seat number — check college reviews, patient load, hostel facilities, and internship support.
5. Stay updated and alert– Counselling timelines can change fast. Bookmark MCC’s website and follow credible counsellors like Radical Education for alerts.
