Remarks

Speaking about positive remarks the teaching is very good, faculties are the best, the college campus is away from the city rush. I am talking about the negative remarks the hospital is about three kilometres from the college, the food is just average, the place don't have any major attractions, lack of greenery.

Course Curriculum Overview

4

The MBBS curriculum got changed this year and we are the first batch under CBME(competency Based Medical Education) and called as the Indian Medical Graduate (IMG) which put us under some more pressure. Ofcourse, the course presents you with lengthy lectures and practicals as before. Now they have tried to make the classes interesting and interactive with sessions like SDL- self directed learning and ECEs-Early clinical exposure (which includes hospital visits). Along with this we now have to write more records and projects which is tiresome. But 'No Pain No Gain'.

Placement Experience

3

Yes there is one year internship as CRRI(compulsory rotatory residential internship) in which house surgeons who completed the final exams are posted under various departments on a rotatory basis. Stipend is around 15000 per month. The house surgeons will get an exposure on how to practice clinically and make them independent.

College Events

3

Our medical college conducts programs on various platforms both academically and non-academical. The college host various conferences under various departments. They attract doctors from all over tamilnadu. We have our hostel day function which is very fantastic. Then we have the Tamil mandram function which show our respect towards Tamil. Then we have the culturals named RADIANCE which is conducted on April may months every year. There are sports events and art events which lasts for about 4 days.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The college is government owned so the fees is low as 15 k tuition fee per year. But we have to buy text books and notebooks which totals to about 10 k. When you are comparing to the private colleges where the fees are about 5 to 6 lacs this is very cheap

Fees and Financial Aid

The college is run by government so the fees are very low so there is no need for taking a loan. There are no scholarships directly given by the college but we can apply scholarship from the central government and state governments.

Campus Life

3

Our bach consist of 150 students among which 69 are boys and the rest girls. There are 21 students from other states and the rest are from all over tamilnadu. We have other extra curricular activities such as sports games and NSS.

Hostel Facilities

1.5

The hostel facilities are moderate. The food is not so nice. We have uninterrupted water supply, electricity supply and peaceful environment away from the town area. We have a large ground so that we can play various games and other sports events. The hostel is always neat and tidy, we have laundry facility. Hostel fee will be around 5000-6000 per month.

Alumni/Alumna

The seniors of our college are very supportive and good. They help us in our studies and during the clinicals. Speaking about the alumni, they work in excellent institutions all over India and abroad. They are our motivation.

Admission

I wanted to be a doctor but my Neet 2018 mark was just 225 but with hardworkI passed the neet 2019 exam with a mark of 591(AIR-9991)after repeating at Brilliant Study Centre, Pala. My kerala rank was 1289. Since I belong to the general category I had no chance of getting into a college in kerala. So I went for the AIQ(All India Quota) and I was alloted Thoothukudi Medical college. I was asked to submit some ten documents and initial admission amount. Thats it.

Faculty

4.5

Faculty is very qualified and supportive towards students.They carry a very good experience and teach every course in detail with through knowledge and also the resources and labs provided by them is very useful.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Our curriculum is CBME based curriculum. It is more clinically oriented. We get to answer questions only after diagnosing the clinical case based questions. It focuses more on practical knowledge rather than just focusing on the theory part. It makes us ready to handle patients.

Course Curriculum Overview:

For my medical field i feel some subjects are unnecessary in my view point like the community medicines. I feel anatomy weightage should be more compared to buochemistrand physiology. I would like them to improve the chapters and remove chalters that are unnecessary so that we medical students can concentrate on whats inportant rather than studying everything and stuffing our brain.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I was very passionate about entering the medical field quite early in my life, so I knew what I had to do when I was in school. Medical field is a very challenging area to choose and the work life balance is not as good as other professions. However, it is very engaging and interesting for people who are actually interested in the subject. However, one cannot practice medicine after finishing MBBS because of the increasing competition, so he has to do PG course in order to be more approachable for the patients as well as to serve better in the specific field. The course curriculum is start in a well planned manner and the portions are completed ahead of time so that students have around 1 to 1.5 months of study break before the university exams every year. So, along with the exams that take place throughout the year, students will also have ample time to prepare for their exams in their own way preferred.

Course Curriculum Overview:

This course is well known for its complexity. It's so hard to understand in the first go. We will start to realise that 12th was just an ABCD. This not something impossible with patience and intrest it's easy to learn. Every month we will be having internals for each subject. It would be hectic but fruitful. Don't always street about academics there are lot of beautiful things to gaze at also.

Remarks:

The medical college and hospital is at Mundiyampakkam village, Villupuram District. Being located at a village, the medical college focuses on maintaining good health of rural people. There are 1100 beds which are used by patients. 650 beds are used for teaching and 450 beds are used for other medical purposes. Being close to nature, the college is surrounded by greenery. One can get fresh air and healthy environment easily. However, the city is a little bit far away.
