Admission: The teachers here are really dedicated and always ready to assist you if you're willing to learn. The MBBS program is tough with lots of exams, both practical and theoretical, at the end of each semester. You also have to do a year-long internship after completing nine semesters.
Placement: We don't have placements, but we do get a stipend for internships. After studying theory for 4.5 years, internships are mandatory. The stipend is about Rs. 17,000 per month. The demand for jobs in the medical field is high, especially in rural areas where MBBS doctors can earn around Rs. 60,000 per month. In big cities like Mumbai and Delhi, the salary can go up to Rs. 80,000 to Rs. 90,000 per month.
Campus: I really like how easy it is to use the labs here. It's something that sets our college apart from others. Plus, there are lots of sports facilities and a cool recreational room.

Admission: The medical exams are really hard, but the teachers and older students help a lot. The teaching is good, but we get fewer practice tests, which makes it tough for us during the university exams. The training prepares us well for being medical officers in the future.
Placement: Around 150 students are in each group. Many of them are currently working in jobs related to COVID-19. After signing up with the MCI, students can work in hospitals or open their own clinic. There isn't really a formal recruitment process. Every year, the college churns out about 100 interns.
Campus: The campus has Wi-Fi everywhere. The college really backs sports. The food in the mess is decent, and there are about 4 canteens. Some canteens even had a monthly menu you could sign up for before covid. We used to have sports events every 2 months before covid hit.

Admission: The teachers here are really smart and know their stuff. They really helped us get good grades. The tests were a bit tough, but you can pass them on your first try. Everyone in our class got their results and did well thanks to the teachers.
Placement: There were about 60 of us in our class. Most of the students, around 65%, got jobs at our hospital. We study Nursing here, and we can do internships at the same hospital. The hospital mostly hires from our school.
Campus: The college has labs for different subjects, and the classrooms have comfy chairs. The library is nice with lots of books. The hostel and mess are good too. They have sports and medical facilities available.
