Course Curriculum Overview
The curriculum, like any medical curriculum is challenging but is still comprehensive in the way the faculty teaches it. The subjects in first year are anatomy, physiology, communication skills, indian constitution, exercise therapy and electrotherapy. The curriculum teaches us theory as well as practical application of concepts which prepares us to see patients in the future. I took this course cause it was my best option after MBBS. There are three exams per semester. Two sessional examinations and one final semester exam. These are of varying grades based on the subject. The course works on a credit system. If you have all credits then you pass. If you dont then you dont. It would be nice to have clincal postings from the first year itself so we would get to observe. But thats alright.
Fees and Financial Aid
Course fee: 2,66,000/- Caution Deposit: 10,000/- Hostel Deposit: 7500/- Mess fee: 20,000/- Financial Aid is possible. EMI options are available on fee payment. Scholarships are availible. Scholarships are also provided by the reliance foundation.
Campus Life
All of us KMC mangalore campus people know that we dont have much of a campus life. But if youre somewhere everyday then that somewhere becomes home. Our campus may not be very big but its comfort, its home. We have one of the best libraries in south india with books ranging from MBBS to AHS literature. There is an extensive collection of books. There are several clubs to join such as the dance, MUN, sports, council, music, etc. KMC is very supportive of extra curricular activities and youll never fall short of pursuing your interests.
Admission
I applied to this college amongst others. From the beginning i always wanted to go to a MAHE college, be it manipal campus, or mangalore. Ive grown to love mangalore campus as the town is beautiful, the faculty is amazing and the experience we get is like no other. There are two exams which make you eligible for this college. NEET and MET. Since i had already given NEET i didnt need to give MET (Manipal Entrance Test). I got in based on my neet score and 12th grade marks. You dont require a very high score to get in. But its better to get a higher score so that you can get a seat of your choice in the first round of counselling itself.
Faculty
The faculty, especially of the physiotherapy department of KMC mangalore is extremely good. They are individuals from different specialties who come together to teach the curriculum in an extremely interesting and different way. The faculty to student ratio does not have a very large gap as there is a food number of faculty as there are at least two faculties from each specialty. Even the class size is pretty small so we are like a small close knit family. All the faculty members know the students personally. The faculty members are easy to talk to and are available for personal and academic problems. The exams are not too difficult it just depends on how prepared you are for them.
