Admission: The teachers here are super helpful, especially the first-year ones. They really care about teaching us well. Throughout the year, we have 2 internals and 1 model exam. We need to score at least 50% to write the final university exams by KUHS. It's a must to have 75% attendance in theory and 80% in practicals. In the second year, we need 80% clinical posting attendance. In the first year, we learn anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry. The second year covers pathology, pharmacology, and microbiology. Third year onwards, it's all about clinical subjects until the final year. The course is 4.5 years plus 1 year of internship. And the best part? No service bond after finishing the course!
Placement: I'm in my second year of the 2023 batch, studying MBBS. There aren't any direct placements for MBBS students in India, but our seniors are doing well. Some of them even teach us now. After graduation, some joined our college as tutors. Many seniors have done great in exams like NEET PG and INI CET, getting good ranks. Fresh MBBS grads can earn around 40-50k in South India and 70-80k in the north. Government hospitals pay more than private ones for MBBS graduates. But after PG, private sector pays better. After graduation, we have options like being a medical officer, joining the army, preparing for PG, or working in hospitals. Some even go for exams like DHA/USMLE/PLAB for abroad options or do an MBA in healthcare for hospital management.
Campus: The college has amazing facilities, ranked 2nd in the state and 42nd in the country. There are 8-story hostels for boys and girls, with rooms for 3 people each. Rooms have attached washrooms and are spacious. Cleaning is taken care of by the college. There's a 700+ bed hospital with high occupancy and a daily OPD of 1500-2500 people. Lectures are held in the academic block, and there's a peaceful campus with a meditation center. College amenities include Wi-Fi, library, central AC, gym, canteen, and more. Great place to study and relax!

Admission: The professors at CMC Vellore are super friendly and know their stuff. They're easy to talk to and we end up forming good connections with them. Since they graduated from CMC Vellore themselves, we know they're top-notch. Plus, our pass rate is one of the best around.
Placement: I prefer continuing my education than just aiming for a job. This college offers free hostel accommodation and a monthly stipend of around 11k. I also get to do a year of internship in different departments. It's a great opportunity to learn and grow.
Campus: The Wi-Fi in lecture halls is pretty good. The facilities are okay. Because the college is new, everything is brand new and in good shape. The gym, break area, and other stuff are on the 4th floor. The food in the college canteen is basic, not great. It tastes like hospital food. But the hospital canteen is awesome and cheaper.

Admission: The teachers here are really helpful, especially during clinic sessions. They guide us well to pass exams and become great doctors. The clinical exposure is awesome with a busy inpatient and outpatient setup. The hospital does about 40 surgeries daily. The faculty members are super dedicated, and the pass percentage in internal exams is usually good.
Placement: I started my MBBS course at this college in 2016. I was in the first batch, and I'm happy to say that almost all of us passed our final year exams and got internships. The course lasts for 4.5 years, followed by a one-year internship. The best part is that we get to do our internship right in the hospital itself, which is pretty cool. The hospital where we intern, BCMCH, is well-known in South Kerala. And after we graduate, there are job opportunities available as junior residents. It's a great place to study and kickstart your medical career!
Campus: The college has really good facilities. The lecture hall is air-conditioned and fits 120 students. There are labs, a museum, an anatomy dissection hall, and a library. They also have an e-library, cafeteria, stores, and an ATM. For fun, there's a gym, indoor games, badminton, and a playground. If you're studying MBBS, you have to stay in the hostel. The food in the hospital canteen is a bit pricey but tasty. They even give students a 20% discount. If you want cheaper food, there's Veettil Oonu nearby. The hostel is tall with 6-7 floors. Each room has 3 beds, 3 tables, 2 fans, and 3 cupboards. You can stay with 2 other roommates. Plus, there's a study room and bathroom in each room.
