Admission: The teachers are great, but we need more staff. The course is really good and helps us learn a lot. If you study hard, passing exams is not too hard. The teachers know their stuff and you can learn a lot from them during clinicals.
Placement: Around 15 students join the program each year. The internship goes on for four and a half years, including four years of studying and a six-month internship. We get 500 rupees as a stipend every month during the internship. There are opportunities for internships in different wards and departments at the college. The clinical trials experience is really good here.
Campus: The hostel facilities aren't great here. The canteens are good, and the food is decent. We have a sports complex for activities. It's one of the top medical institutes after AIIMS Delhi, providing a lot of medical services.

Admission: The teachers at the college were really smart and knew a lot about what we were learning. They taught well, and the course content prepared us for the real world. The exams weren't too hard either, so it was easy to do well in them.
Placement: At PGIMER college, there are lots of chances to get a job after studying. About half of the students find jobs here. The pay is usually around 4-6 LPA. Companies like M Curve, Apollo, Cipla, and Mankind come to hire students.
Campus: The campus for our course is great. They have stuff like Wi-Fi, a canteen, labs, a library, and sports facilities. They even have hostels for students. Everything we need is here.

Admission: The teachers here are really top-notch and super qualified. They know their stuff inside out! They're always ready to help us understand and put what we learn into practice. Getting to do hands-on stuff at PGI hospital is awesome. Plus, the course is set up in a way that's super practical and helpful for real-life situations. Love it!
Placement: I heard from older students that the placements here are great, especially for those who do well academically. They say if you get good grades during the course, you have a good chance of getting placed. Plus, we get to do internships at PGI hospital which is awesome. It's a hands-on experience and we learn a lot of practical stuff. And the best part is, placements come from big organizations like UNICEF and WHO.
Campus: The campus has top-notch facilities that give us a chance to try out what we learn. They always have the newest equipment that follows current standards. It really helps us understand things better. I don't stay on campus, so I can't say much about the food in the cafeteria. But I've heard it's decent.

Admission: The teachers here are really smart and know their stuff. They're great at helping us learn. The course could use some improvements since it's new in India, but the faculty and HOD listen to our feedback to make it better. Instead of semester exams, we have annual exams, which I prefer. You need to get at least 50% to pass.
Placement: There's no placement cell for our course. Only around 1/4 of students landed research projects with faculty. They don't mention the average salary. WHO, NHM, DGHS, and Unicef are the big recruiters. The course lasts 4 years, with 3 for studying and 1 for internships. The department sets up internships. After graduating, you could be an epidemiologist, research associate, field worker, associate professor, or senior demonstrator in the School of Public Health.
Campus: The infrastructure at our college is pretty good, but there's room for improvement. In our department, we have classrooms for all years, a library with Wi-Fi, and even a canteen. The library is from the PGI Campus. The hostel is okay, nothing special. The food is tasty, clean, and healthy. They also have medical facilities and a sports management team. Overall, it's a decent place to study.

Admission: The teachers really know their stuff in our medical course. It's great that they cover medical knowledge well. I wish we had more on psychology too, that's important for being a good doctor. The exams are super tough and our schedule gets really packed around exam time.
Placement: I really liked how our course helped around 8-10% of students find jobs. Plus, everyone got internships, and some even started their own clinics. It's cool that you don't have to wait for companies to hire you. You can just open your own clinic. The main jobs you can get after this course are clinician and professor.
Campus: The college has free Wi-Fi which is awesome. The research labs are top-notch with cool equipment. The classrooms are great for studying. The food in the canteen is tasty with lots of options to choose from.

Admission: The professors here are super experienced and really helpful. The semester exams are challenging but fair. The teaching quality is top-notch, one of the best in the country. The admin staff are strict, but it pushes us to work hard.
Placement: The course offers a 1-year internship, which is great. However, the placements are a bit low since the course is new and only began 4 years ago. It seems like some deserving students miss out on job opportunities, as jobs are sometimes given to less qualified workers to save money.
Campus: The classrooms and auditoriums are top-notch for classes and conferences. You get a lot of hands-on experience. The mess prices are really affordable. They take care of everyone's health with medical facilities. Plus, they even help out with getting medicines at a good price.

Admission: The teachers here are top-notch! They're always ready to help with any problems you have. The department offers a great learning experience with digital tools. Exams are always in-person, no exceptions.
Placement: The course I took was brand new at the school, so no one had graduated yet. But from what I've seen, graduates are getting good jobs. This program seems to have lots of opportunities both abroad and here at home.
Campus: The school has top-notch equipment for learning, and the classrooms are really comfortable with good air conditioning. The community medicine department and public health school offer awesome facilities for us students.

Admission: The professors at PGI are seriously awesome! They have tons of experience and have done a lot of cool stuff like research papers and patents. They teach us in a practical way, so we get to work with real patients right from the start, with their help of course. This place really prepares us for the industry.
Placement: I didn't find any campus placements at PGIMER, but students here still land great jobs easily. I got a job with a 4.5 LPA package after my first interview. The learning experience at PGIMER is amazing, and by the end of 4 years, you become a pro. You can easily find jobs in hearing aid clinics or manufacturing companies.
Campus: PGIMER is top-notch when it comes to hospitals. They've got all the latest gear and tools for us to use. The labs are super high-tech too. It's great because we get hands-on experience with all the cool tech. Plus, the food in the doctor's mess is pretty good too.

Admission: The teachers at this college are awesome. They encourage sports and other activities too. They organize competitions often and give out cash prizes and gifts to students. Exams are not super tough, so passing is doable. You just need to get 50% to pass.
Placement: I really liked studying at PGI Chandigarh because they guarantee 100% placements at the hospital. You can earn a good salary of Rs 1 Lac. In the 4th year, we get a 6-month internship with a salary of Rs 14k. Since there are government job options, private companies don't visit the campus. But if students want, they can even go abroad for opportunities. It's a great place to study if you're looking to work in the healthcare field.
Campus: The hostel is awesome super affordable and cozy. They've got everything you need: friendly staff, good food, and even a fridge! Security is top-notch, and it's really close to the college. Plus, they have lights and a geyser too. Love it here!

Placement: I'm really happy with how our college helps us find jobs. Almost all of us get placed after our course, with the top salary being around 3 lakhs a year. Even the lowest pay is decent at 35k, depending on where we work. Lots of companies and hospitals work with our college to make sure we all get good jobs. Over 60% of us also get internships while studying. It's great knowing we have such good opportunities after we graduate.
Campus: I really like our college's infrastructure. It's so cool and impressive! We have everything we need here - fast Wi-Fi, updated labs with all the tools, a library full of books, and a canteen with lots of options. The sports activities are well-organized, whether you're indoors or outdoors. It's a great place to study and hang out.
