Outlook ranks MGIMS 21st best medical school in India

[Guest guest]

Dear all:

*Outlook*, 25 June issue- available online- ranked MGIMS as the 21st best

medical school in the country. Compared to 2011, when we were ranked 17th,

this year we have gone a bit down- 21 st.

Does the lower rank adversely reflect our quality of teaching, healthcare,

research and extra-curricular activities? Be assured, it doesn't. For,

three big ones- CMC, Vellore, Grrant Medical College, Mumbai and MAMC,

Delhi did not participate in the opinion poll last year- these schools did

not send their data to Outlook and, therefore, were " not considered " when

Outlook assigned ranks to the medical schools.

A quick look at the list reveals no surprises. We would have easily climbed

several ladder-steps had our infrastructure been better. For example, St

s has received 152 of 200 points for infrastructure, compared to 128

points assigned to MGIMS. Add these 24 points to the grand total, and we

could gone 5 slots up!
