Admission: The teachers here are super helpful, not just with studies but also with any health problems we might have. They really know their stuff and have lots of experience. The way they teach is great. Our course lets us do hands-on work in factories and check quality control. The exams are tough, you need at least 50% to pass.
Placement: My course is really small with only a handful of us students. The salary packages after graduation range from 3 to 6 LPA. Unfortunately, there are no job placements available in our department. Companies don't come to hire us either. Instead of internships, we do hands-on work in the lab, which they call training. At the end, we get a certificate for it. So, no internships in my course, just lab work.
Campus: The college facilities are awesome! Our department has a huge lab for testing samples. We've got fancy equipment that we use, which must've cost a fortune. Wi-Fi is everywhere on campus, even in the mess, hostel, and library. Classrooms are super clean, with AC and projectors. The library is massive, with 4 floors and tons of books and journals, all in a cool AC environment.

Admission: The anatomy teachers are awesome, biochemistry teachers are good, but the physiology department needs some work. The physiology teachers are really good, but they're only available in small group tutorials. In general, the teachers are supportive, helpful, and great.
Placement: I'm studying MBBS, so placements aren't as big of a deal compared to engineering colleges.
Campus: The Wi-Fi here is pretty good. The food in the mess isn't great, but the hostels are awesome. They've got air-conditioners in the rooms, and the hostels are really nice. There's this huge sports facility called Mareena on the 7th floor. We also have a fest and lots of cultural activities to take part in.

Admission: The teachers are really helpful here. You can drop by the department whenever you need. Passing depends on how much effort you put into studying. Make sure to study hard to pass. The semester exams mainly focus on what you've been taught often. For the University exam, it's a good idea to practice with old question papers.
Placement: The internship here is pretty good. You get a decent stipend, around 30,000. It's not all about the money in MBBS. This college has connections with many other colleges, and Manipal is well-known. If you understand the concepts well, post-graduation and MLE won't be too hard. KMC also offers research opportunities.
Campus: The campus is awesome, with a big hospital and separate blocks for each department. Sports lovers will enjoy the huge ground at MIT. There's also the Arena, a 7-floor building just for sports. It can be a bit pricey, but you'll find tons of games to play there.

Admission: Scoring above average is tough here. We gotta focus on class, training, and study for exams all at once. Teachers keep us busy with lots of assignments and tests. They're really good at teaching real-life stuff.
Placement: After finishing my Bachelor's in Medicine, I'm thinking about doing a Master's in Psychiatry to explore what's ahead. The college has connections with big hospitals and rehab centers to help us find jobs. Once we finished training, we were hired, and the highest salary offered was 20.5 LPA.
Campus: You can't go into the campus without a white coat. Security is strict at the gate, and you need to sign in. The mess is always busy because hostel students eat there too. Visitors need a security check to come in.
