Christian Medical College Interview Questions
& Process

The interviewer's introduced themselves, they were cordial and polite and gave me time to collect my thoughts. They inquired about my professional interests, personal goals and plans for the future. I was asked if I was a team player and how I worked under pressure.

I applied using a paper form since there was no online system back then. First, there was a qualifying multiple-choice test that was clinical-based, covering surgery, pediatrics, and orthopedics. Then I was invited for the interview. It included a short objective test where we moved between different stations. One station involved performing CPR on a dummy patient. Another station required a statistical calculation based on a problem. We also had to take a patient history for someone with spondyloarthritis, identify the differential diagnosis and treatment for an eschar in a picture, and diagnose and treat a patient based on a microscopic slide showing a hyper segmented neutrophil. The interview itself had a panel of doctors who were a bit sarcastic but also friendly.

First there was a screening test with 240 MCQs. Then, the best candidates were called for an interview for the MD Pharmacology seat. The interview panel had 5 people, including 4 from the hiring department. The interview, which lasted about 10 minutes, began with general questions like my name and origin, then moved to why I chose this field and some subject-specific questions. The panel was friendly and supportive.

There were three rounds of interviews. On the first day, we were given a group task. On the second day, we were given a personal task. On the third day, a personal interview was taken of 3 hours. It will be better if you have certificates of other co-curricular activities to take and show them.
