**The college offers a robust academic program** with a faculty-to-student ratio of approximately 1:20, featuring 30 to 35 faculty members for around 160 students. Faculty members are well-qualified, with department heads holding PhDs and all teachers having postgraduate degrees, fostering a supportive learning environment.

The college follows a semester system with regular exams, including two sessional exams and a model practical exam each semester.
The institution boasts a 90% placement rate, primarily through affiliations with hospitals like Al Shifa and EMS, under the Aster group. Campus placements begin after the 6th semester, with most students finding employment by the 8th semester, starting at a minimum salary of Rs. 20,000 per month. Additionally, students can pursue international positions by completing exams such as IELTS and OET. A 1-year internship, integral to the course, starts after the 7th semester, offering work experience in affiliated hospitals, though with low or no stipend, ranging from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 18,000 per month.
The college provides assistance in obtaining various scholarships, including PMSSS, E-Grantz, MCM, and private scholarships like the Muhammad Koya scholarship. These scholarships can significantly reduce fees for eligible students, with PMSSS offering INR 1 lakh per year for students from J&K and Ladakh, and E-Grantz providing around INR 25,000 annually for SC/ST students in Kerala. Tuition fees range from INR 80,500 to INR 1,15,000 per year, leading to a total course cost of INR 4,00,000 to INR 6,50,000, including hostel fees.
Scholarships often cover a significant portion of the tuition, but additional costs for exams, uniforms, and other fees apply.
