Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

the reason i chose this course was solely based on the purpose of fulfilling my parents' wishes and the fact that its a reputable course and that you can earn moneya s well as respect. the curriculum recently changed for us, regarding the NEXT exam, but i'd say it's a good thing as it'll keep us on our toes to prepare for it. areas of improvement in the curriculum aren't really needed but the teaching staffs sometimes need to put their ego and feelings aside and teach the class the way they are supposed to. frequency and timings of the exams are quite apt. we get enough time to study for upcoming exams and they are well spaced, timely.

Internships Opportunities

3.5

the intership given here is good. there is enough rotation in all departments. stipend given is enough, around 15 K if i'm not wrong. student gets to learn what they came for. payment can be cut if you miss a day, but you can make up for it at the end.

Fees and Financial Aid

tuition fee is obviously high, 23 L per year, but there no increment per year. apart from that, an added amount should be given for your uniform and records,a nd personally you might need to spend on books. no scholarships are given. if you manage to get a seat through a third party, chances are that you might get in for less. fiancial aids may include student loans, as far as i am aware. in intership, a good amount of stipend is provided.

Campus Life

2

this college doesnt really give mcuh importance to social events or cultural events. very less social events, even the sports event that finally took place, happened for the first time this year only. not much importance is given to festivals like Holi, Diwali or Dusshera. If anything, students are even barred from celebrating these inside campus. extracurricular activities aren't much. college only mainly focuses on the academics. the library is actually quite decent, there is availability of many books, and i feel like you can find whatever you are looking for related to your course.

Hostel Facilities

3

the room is big and spacious. it is cleaned every alternate day, including the bathroom. ac and non ac rooms are available. too high of a hostel fee is charged, in my opinion, as you can get a nice furnished 1 bhk flat outside campus, at much lower rates. food used to be okay, but now not so much. since the campus is on the way of a highway, not much can be found around.

Admission

eligibilty is as long as you're above the NEET eligible score, that is, 130 if i'm not wrong. everything related to the college is given on the NMC site. no reservation benefits, as far as i'm aware. during admission, the ones handling the admission process at the college were a bit unpleasnt, but that was all, it went smoothly.

Faculty

3.5

there are quite a lot of faculties over here. the professors and the HODs are quite good and knowledgeble and of reputable posts from their pasts. most and all of them hold very good credentials. the teaching is quite fulfilling, there's pros and cons to that as well, but i'd say it's a 70/30 ratio of that. mentors are appointed every year, which is a good way to keep track of sudents' progress. teachers are mostly always free to interact with, and when done so, help out the sudents really well.

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.
