Thats not very helpful... Just answer the question and stop defaming...

IMU'll accept 220-240 student (depends on demand), but before PMS matching, there'll most likely be less than 200... This happens because there is rumours that IMU always over-accept the students, and fail some on the way.

Or you prefer being spoon fed 8 hrs a day, rote learning, and need to answer questions verbatim from the text books?...........

Added on February 18, 2010, 7:16 pmthey take in about 230/batch.........about 50-60 are for the local stream........leaving 170 for pms.........

there are about 120+ pms places/batch (including graduate entry schools).........

which means about 50 will drop out along the way.......some will just decide it's not for them, some will get offers elsewhere (too late for replacement), some will flunk eos2 (about 20% or 40-50) and need to repeat a sem, or just flunk out.........

and IF there are still more people left at the end than pms places.......they will just flunk the bottom bits in eos3 to tailor the final numbers to the available places...........

and yes, people really do flunk out........the intake criteria is NOT strict........so expect some stragglers who scrape in just over the cut offs to struggle.........

good medical schools have few drop outs........they choose their students very carefully.........

bad medical schools ALSO have few drop outs.......they take in students liberally.......they will pass everyone......no matter how bad........

imu is unique in the sense that they have somewhat bad med school intake policy but also have to maintain standards so the pms (which are all GOOD med schools) will accept the students......hence the need for the attrition rate........

not to mention how the few semester fees of the drop outs will do wonders for the financial bottom line.........
