What Students Say
Likes
- It is the top most college in the state so we have a lot of facilities that the other colleges of the state don't
- The college is located in the state capital so everything is kept up to date including the instruments, etc. as in every other program we have the health minister or chief minister on our campus
- The college is located in the city so the markets and other facilities aren't too far to be accessed
Dislikes
- The hospital of the college is located around 3-4 km away from the college
- The ground is small and the cricket pitch is in between the football ground so only one sport can be played at a time
- There is no student council so there is a lot of interference by teachers in all the matters
Course Curriculum Overview
Both the spheres of the course are focused appropriately- theory and practical and there is a good footfall in the associated hospital so there is also good amount of medical exposure, specially during internship and we also have hospital postings from 2nd year itself so that also teaches us a lot about the real world.
Internships Opportunities
One can enroll in icmr short term studentship under any professor for research work. The footfall of the hospital is quite good, so there is a great clinical exposure in the internship. Almost all the departments are quite good with excellent doctors and facilities that are mostly found in the private hospitals.
