KMC Managlore Honest Review

For a person who did not plan on taking physiotherapy as a major till after their boards, I am absolutely loving the curriculum and the subjects. The reason why I chose this college and this course is that we get to start going to clinics to gain experience from the second year itself. This allows us to gain clinical knowledge early on. It's course outline was very good. And it prepares us for all sorts of patients and cases. Right from orthopaedic or sports injuries to ICU patients meeding cardiopulmonary physiotherapy. We also gain experience in neuro physiotherapy. Clinical Postings change on a regular basis allowing a student to gain a lot of clinical experience in a good amount of time. Exams are often and are not very difficult if one is consistent. Practical examination are often difficult as methods differ from doctor to doctor but the overall idea is the same.

There isn't much of a campus life in the mangalore campus as it is a small city and this has a pretty small campus. But that doesn't really make a difference as many different facilities are still available. Facilities like innovation rooms, common rooms, libraries, reading rooms, sports complex, convention centre, etc. KMC is very big on celebrating all festivals like Ganesh Chathurthi, Holi, Healthcare milestones, World Physiotherapy day, etc. It's an amazing place to be during these times. There are a lot of fests. Interclass competitions take place where students from all batches of MBBS and AHS (Allied Health Sciences) compete head to head with each other. There are music clubs, MUN clubs, sports clubs, dance clubs etc. to join. KMC is very big on sports especially and gives their students the opportunity to compete with other colleges all over India. Joining these clubs is a good break from the hectic like of a medical student. Easier to make new friends as well!

I applied to several colleges like Delhi university, Toronto Metropolitan University, University of Toronto, and York Univeristy. I applied for the courses of nursing, biomedical science, biomedical engineering and neurosciences. I got admission offers from Toronto Metropolitan University for Biomedical science and waitlisted for nursing. I also got an offer from york university for biomedical science as well as an undecided major. I got offered an alternate humanities degree offer from Toronto university. The factor that made me choose this degree of physiotherapy was an internship I did at a clinic over the summer which made me realise how much I loved healthcare and patient interaction. I chose KMC Mangalore as it is a very renowned college and has about 5 hospitals and very good and heavy patient flow. This means we get more clinical experience to better our skills. Tests needed: NEET MET( Manipal Entrance Test) I gave MET and scored a good rank. I didn't give NEET.

The faculty of KMC Managlore are amazing as I mentioned before. I have never met a more experienced, qualified, understanding and knowledgeable group of individuals. They take out extra time to cover hard topics. They are very approachable and will help you with any hardships you are facing whether they are academic problems or personal problems. They have immense clinical knowledge and make all their students thorough with the concepts taught. There are two sessional examinations of varying maximum marks. And there is one final semester examination per semester. This is also of varying marks according to the subject. There are often practical examinations as well along with internal assessments. There are 1-2 faculties for each specialty such as orthopaedics, neurosciences, cardiopulmonary physiotherapy etc. So there is not a very big gap in the student to faculty ratio. The exams are not tough if you study from the start. Consistency and attending classes are key in doing well.
