The NMC 2019 CBME guidleines are followed. , youll have to face ecams tooo often in first year, but second year onwards its fine , the difficulty level of ecams is harded than university papers, but its fine, you will afjust to it

The curriculum wise the college follows the set curriculum by the NMC(national medical council) Which is normal at par with all medical college in india which makes sure that we become the best of a doctor with high patient load and also all the final paper are taken up by the university itself which ensures that only qualified students get into next year for which our college faculty work extensively with us to get us ready in every aspect also the practical aspect is also done with clinical visit mostly every day which gives us a real life experience

We have cbme curriculum.The curriculum provides a clear and organised framework ensuring students follow a logical progression of knowledge and skills.This helps in the gradual building of concepts making learning more understandable

As 2021 batch we follow the CBME 2019 curriculum under Kerala University of health sciences (KUHS). Comparatively this curriculum mainly focuses on clinical aspects starting from 1st year which helps in better understanding of concepts. AETCOM modules are also included in this curriculum.

The kuhs curriculum is average. They provide a serious stress among all the medical students.Even for now our exams dates are not being informed inspite of having additional subjects we have this year. And they take certain decision unnecessarily which makes a bigger burden for students.

Its mbbs. The curriculum is really really hard and its obvious. But the myth that medical students cant have fun can be broken. First year is difficult if u fail then ull have to drop a year and will be able to give the exams only next year so u have to make sure you study but still me and my friends weree able to squeeze in outings parties trips to goa bglr etc. Its all about the perspective you can choose to have fun in any circumstance

After the internship, students can become eligible for the placements. The students are working in the college also. The college offers students to the basic package as well as 30000 to 40000 only. Only 20 to 30% students are getting placements. After getting degree, my plans are working in a hospital.

Faculty students ratio is well maintained. Almost 4 faculties are available in all departments & there are interns & PG students in all departments, who will also help us with the curriculum. All faculties are having Graduation Degrees & well qualified. Internal exams were conducted on regular basis & it give idea regarding university exams very well.

The faculty ratio is about 1:6, The exams are taken timely, discussion exams, monthly exams and weekly tests and seminars. All the faculty is well qualified and educated. The teaching method is very easy and all the teachers are very Cooperative and help every student to clear the exams

Placements are not available in the college. After mandatory HS, we are free to find jobs. Many passed out students remain in the college as tutors while preparing for their PG entrances. Some also teach nursing and/or paramedical students. As an MBBS degree is not enough to get a job, everyone plans on joining for PG courses. MBBS degree will only get us as far as a casualty doctor or medical officer in a PMC.
