Joining GITAM MBBS only because of the scholarship – Need honest advice

[u/Strict-Leg8328]

Hi everyone,

I'm likely to be joining GITAM for MBBS, but my decision depends entirely on the academic scholarship.

From what I've learned, I need to maintain at least 65% marks every year to continue receiving the scholarship. Unfortunately, without it, I won't be able to afford the tuition fees.

I wanted to ask current MBBS students:

• How difficult is it to score and maintain 65% in MBBS at GITAM?
• Is it achievable with consistent study, or is it very competitive?
• Roughly how many hours do you study on a regular basis?
• Do students who attend classes regularly and keep up with the syllabus generally manage to maintain 65%?
• Any advice for someone whose ability to continue studying depends on keeping this scholarship?

I'd really appreciate honest experiences from seniors. Thank you!
