Travancore Medical College Kollam Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

Mbbs is a five year course which includes one year of intership.  Exams are relatively very tough and stressful. The clinical exposure helps in real world applications of what we learn.  Four years of degree provides four year end exams.

The course is a bit tough rather than other courses (professional courses) MBBS is a 4 year course with 1 year compulsory internship dealing with a total of 13-4 subject over the 4 years The curriculum prepares us for the real world experiecne but more often the clinical subjects aim in patuent student interaction that overall help in the achievemnt of professionalism The frequency if exams are very high as there needs to be regular revision of subjects in order to prepare for the finals and perfect in all clinical theory and oractical aspects

The curriculum is vast and it relies more on theoretical knowledge than practical knowledge. The course should be improved enough to provide a better learning atmosphere to students. Exams occur every 2 months and is quite difficult

The MBBS curriculum has changed for the year 2019 onwards, it now follows the CBME curriculum, which is competency-based medical education. This curriculum is highly efficient and effective in creating competitive and strict rules that will allow the medical student to be ready to do what he/she is required to do. The curriculum is based on repeated examinations and tests for the student which do place a huge burden but considering the long run. The main exams occur at the end of each academic year, which will detemrine the eligibilty to advance into the next year. The exams are made so that only those which have the required knowledge and competency can pass the year and those who do not are required to write the 'save the year' exam which appears after 1 month after the publishment of the result. If they pass, they can join their peers. If they fail they have to wait for 1 year so that they can write their exams with their juniors. A medical student can only write their exams 4 times, upon failing all of them - they are labelled as 'course out ' that is, they cannot continue this course anymore.

The curriculum is purely based on the practical knowledge and is will be only acquired during the duration of the course. The college has a hospital which is one of the best in the state. Thus there will a large number of the patient and student will have the chance to interact with the patients and improve their skills and develop as a doctor. The frequency and the timing of the exam are large.

This course is about being a doctor so all its aspects focuses on becoming a good doctor . All the things about the curriculum focuses on it. Real world experiences are the best teachers when coming to this career. But our curriculum includes many teaching methods apart from the experiences and makes students know about the scenarios and what to do and to not to in dillematic situations . Emergency procedures are thought which can be done by any common man and other procedures as well. Teaching methods are good only but can be improved by including more clinical exposure and involving the students to know the importance of each subject even the non clinical ones . Exams are put on frequently smaller and bigger ones . Internal exams are conducted frequently. Exams conducted by college varies on difficulty and any student can be a topper depending on how he/she studies Accordingly on perfect timing .

specific aspects of curriculum is good. The curricukum prepared us for the real world applicatoons or further academic pursuit . Course curruculum and the teachibg methoda are also good. The thiming of the exam are also okay

The course is a pretty hard one i must say but the feeling of putting on a white coat and looking after patients is surreal and that's the main essence of the job. The curriculum is very vast but each subject is important in its own way. The exams are all conducted in such a way that there's enough time for us to prepare .

MBBS was my lifetime dream. As I didn't perform well on my NEET-UG I didn't get an govt seat but instead of that I got an another perfect college. In my opinion our course curriculum and teaching methods are excellent.

Campus placement are given to top students after 5.5 years. The students are posted in nearby government phcs and district hospital after the course is completed. Highest salary package is 1 lakhs as just an MBBS graduate can find many job opportunities.You should get a Pg in desired field for better salary option. Top 10 percentage students get placed every year. My plan is to get pg admission and do pg as of now
