- Faculties are good at there job but feels like they don't care about there students. But it is similar in colleges as it is not schooling system.

Admission
I took admission in Rajarajeshwari Institute of Allied Health Sciences which is a part of Rajarajeshwari Medical College. I choose this college as it is a top college in India and have a good campus with hostel. I didn't get any rejection from other colleges. I actually thought to apply at Vittala International Eye Hospital but didn't took admission there as they don't have a hostel facility and have no campus but just a building with eye hospital at 2 floor and above that they conduct classes in the same building.
Faculty
For each department they have enough facilities for taking each subjects and have experienced docters to teach. If you are a regular student, faculties will be soo good u too. They'll help you in studies and academics. Office staffs are a bit rude maybe because of there heavy work but overall it's ok. I don't have any particular name of any faculty as everyone are like same for me. In AHS, as we have different departments we have technicians to teach for each department. Exams are neither too difficult nor too easy. But evaluation system is a bit worst as it doesn't have revaluation or recounting. All we can do is get soft copy of our answer sheet. Evaluation is computerised. Each year contains a final exam on Nov-Dec and a supply exam on Apr-May months conducted by university. College conducts 3 internals and a final model exam. Every examination is held in same campus, internals and models in classes and finals in auditorium. According to my experience, Exam results will be like such that we'll pass if we are lucky enough. But now it got improved a lot and students are passing in high rate. There will be an examination fee for each university exam including aplication fee and fee for each subject. Practical ll be there in which it is conducted in our college for some courses but as for optometry venue will be some other optometry colleges till now.
Night Life
Gym, canteens, library are all available there. I'm not sure about gym time. Library is open even at late nights. Students can get permission & go there to study. Library includes separate areas for doing research & studying. Mobile phones are not allowed in Library & any of the classrooms but can be used in case of emergency. Canteen is also available at late nights as it is a hospital having 24 hrs casuality. A separate space for dining is available for each of them i.e.students, doctors, & patients. Small cafeterias inside the hospital will be closed after hospital timings. A vent for 24hrs is placed inside the hospital that contains some snacks, cakes & drinks. Hostel timings will be 6am-9pm.
