My college review

Our college is situated in a picturesque location. The hostel facility is also good. The rooms in the hostel are regularly cleaned. There are adequate patients in the Medical College Hospital unlike other private medical colleges.

The Course Curriculum has been updated from 2019 admission onwards. Our batch follows the old curriculum. We have 4 University Exams in total. After the final university exam, you have to undergo 1 year compulsory internship.

Job opportunities after MBBS is very promising. After four and half years of the course, you have to undergo one year internship programme. The internship programme at MES Medical College is not as hard as in Government Medical Colleges. Stipend during internship is around ?8000 per month, food and accommodation being free.

MES Medical College has a very active Student’s Union renewed every year. Union comprises of students from the final year and 3rd year MBBS. The Sports events in the college are really good. The Arts events are not that colourful.

I joined the MBBS course under government seat. I am 2016 admission batch. For me, the fee is ?2.5 lakhs per year. For hostel, you have to pay around ?90,000 per year. For my family, the fee is affordable. But, my classmates who have joined in management seats have to pay realtors high fees.

For OBC students, the central government provides scholarship through scholarships.gov.in. The office staff in the college will help to avail this scholarship. I receive ?30,000 per year through this scholarship.

The sports culture in the college is really good, particularly football culture. The football ground is a really well maintained 7s turf with floodlights. There is a good enough basketball court also in the college. Other games are not that celebrated in the college.

There is no active alumni network associated with our college. The senior students are really helpful. Our college is one of the few ragging free campuses in Kerala. Senior students are particularly helpful during the Clinical Postings. Senior students teach you most of the clinical methods.

I got admission through KEAM Entrance Exam. Now the admission is based on NEET UG Entrance Exam. I got admission on my first attempt. I did long term entrance coaching along with 11th and 12th at Vijayagiri Public School.

The faculty at MES Medical College is not bad. The HODs of most department are retired staff from Government Medical Colleges. Most faculty are highly qualified and efficient. But, some of the faculty aren’t interested in teaching the students, they care about the patients only.
