Should I upgrade to KMC Manipal from KMC Mangalore?

Here are some advantages of both, KMC Manipal and KMC Mangalore-

Advantages of KMC Mangalore-

1. It is attached to three government hospitals- Lady Goschen (for OBG), Wenlock (for other specialties, except pediatrics), and RAPCC (for pediatrics). So you’ll get to see a variety of patients. You may work on 100+ cases during your OPD days. You’ll also get to see how differently government and private hospitals work.
2. Mangalore has all the travel facilities- flight, bus, train, and even ship.
3. You can access malls, good restaurants and other such luxuries in Mangalore.
4. The Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations are worth waiting for.

Advantages of KMC Manipal-

1. It has a state-of-the-art library.
2. You’ll enjoy campus life, and meet students from different countries and streams (Engineering, Hotel Management, Visual Media, etc).
3. KMC Manipal is a much bigger brand.

I really had an amazing time at KMC Mangalore. If you want more clinical exposure, stay at KMC Mangalore. The theory classes are at par in both. As a KMC student, if you are among the top 8 for the first 2 years, you’ll get the opportunity to attend a month-long externship in the Netherlands.
