Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences, Mandya

Admission: The teachers here are cool because they finished their studies and post-graduation. They use PowerPoint to teach, which is pretty good. We have final exams once a year, and also some tests during the year to see if we can take the final exams.

Placement: For our final year of the course, we'll have an internship. We'll work as junior doctors at our college hospital. The pay for the internship is $32,000 a month. We'll have different shifts, like 12 hours or even 24 hours. Sometimes, we might even have a 36-hour shift. Some students prefer working at private hospitals like Vydehi.

Campus: The college has a library and reading room with Wi-Fi, which is great. The classrooms are big and the lab has good equipment. But the food is not good and not clean. They serve the same menu every week in the hostel. We have to pay a maintenance fee of around 25300 and the monthly mess bill is about 3500-4000. It's not worth it compared to nearby PGs.

Admission: Our college is connected with RGUHS. They stick to RGUHS rules. We learn through CBME. Exams are tough, but passing is doable.

Placement: After finishing MBBS, we have great job opportunities. Graduates can easily land well-paid jobs. Plus, we can take the NEET PG exam for post-grad studies in any MBBS subject. So, post-MBBS students from my college find good jobs without much trouble.

Campus: My college is run by the government, so the campus is in good shape. We have a cool library with everything you need, even a digital section. Plus, there are nice hostels for guys and girls on campus that are well-kept.

Admission: The teachers here are amazing! They explain things really well and make sure we understand everything, even during online classes. They also do a great job with dissection and practical classes.

Placement: A lot of students from our college go to good colleges after graduation and do well on their PG exams. We get ready for the NEET PG too. Some students even get top marks in state board exams and win scholarships. We also get training to do well on competitive exams.

Campus: The college library is big and has Wi-Fi. The campus is huge with labs and demo rooms. They have good teaching tools in the labs. The library has study halls and they're planning an E-library too.

Admission: The MBBS program here lasts for about five and a half years, including a year of rural service. The course follows the CBME curriculum. In the first year, we learned about anatomy, biochemistry, and physiology. We have three internal exams, and the final one is given by RGUHS University.

Placement: After finishing MBBS, there's a lot of options open. To get a better-paying job, you gotta do an MD and specialize more. If you land a government job, you can start at around 60K a month. And later on, your salary could go up to 2-3 lakhs a month.

Campus: The college buildings are nice, but the hostel buildings need improvement. We don't have hot water all the time, and the mess food isn't great. The cleanliness could be better, and we don't get free Wi-Fi we have to pay for it. There are three shared B.Ed rooms for students.

Admission: When you join the course, seniors will unofficially welcome you and share lots of info. Just go with the flow and don't complain. By the end, the teachers will prepare you well for the exam.

Placement: After finishing MBBS, it's important to do PG to have a better life. Most people with MBBS just work as regular doctors, but PGs have it on another level. During your internship, you can make over 25,000 bucks every month.

Campus: The food in the mess is decent for South Karnataka folks, but don't expect too much. It's run by students, so don't set your hopes too high. The hostel building isn't great, it's pretty old (I think it was built in 2006). The college itself is good, but there's no gym. The library has Wi-Fi, which is a plus. The classrooms could use some improvement, they're not the best. Sports here are fun, and everyone is competitive. We've got a nice sports ground to enjoy.

Admission: The teachers here are pretty smart, but some can be annoying and not very helpful to students. Luckily, we don't need too much help from them during our degree. The exams each semester or year are okay. The quizzes within the semester are a bit harder than the final exams. The faculty members are okay - not super amazing, but they get the job done.

Placement: Each batch has around 150 students. We have to do one year of rural service in Karnataka state. After we graduate, we'll get at least Rs. 50,000 per month. During our final year, we'll do internships with a Rs. 30,000 monthly stipend. And when we're doing rural service, we'll earn Rs. 50,000 per month.

Campus: The hostel at our college isn't great, but we do have decent classrooms. The central library is awesome for studying, and they have free Wi-Fi there too. It's a good spot to hit the books.

Admission: The teachers are super smart and well-educated, having their Masters degrees. Our course is yearly, with a big final exam at the end and regular assessments throughout the year. You need at least 75% attendance to be eligible for exams. If you fail, you can take a makeup exam.

Placement: Doing an internship in our college hospital in the final year is a must for everyone. Some students choose to intern at places like Apollo. During our internship, we learn a lot that will make working in other companies or hospitals easier.

Campus: The college has a library and reading room. The classrooms are really big, and there's Wi-Fi in the library and reading room. Unfortunately, the hostel rooms aren't well-kept, and the mess hall is pretty gross. The food they serve is not good and not clean.

Admission: The teachers here really know their stuff. The theory exams in the first year and practical exams in the final year of MBBS are super tough. We need to be on top of every case. During the viva, the external examiners can ask about anything in the subject, so we have to be ready for any question. Luckily, we can choose which questions to answer.

Placement: Studying MBBS is no joke if you wanna be a doctor. Our college takes in about 150 new MBBS students every year. The cool thing is, we get to work with real patients a lot since we're connected to a government hospital. Oh, and learning Kannada is a must for better communication.

Campus: The classrooms and library at our college are really great. We even have a digital library, which is cool. The library has Wi-Fi and air-conditioning, making it a comfy spot to study. The labs and classrooms are top-notch. The hostel is decent, especially compared to other government medical colleges. The food is pretty healthy overall.

Admission: The teachers are all doctors with either a master's degree or basic MBBS. They teach well and the curriculum is perfect for medical students. We get lots of chances to interact with patients in the hospital, which helps us prepare to become doctors. We have 4 exams every year - 3 internals and 1 final exam. You need to score at least 50% to pass all the exams.

Placement: MIMS is a cool place for studying medicine. You get 4 years of learning and then a year of internship at the hospital. They even pay you every month during the internship. After that, most students take the NEET PG exam to pick their post-graduation path.

Campus: The college campus is just one big building with 6 floors, including a basement. There's a cool terrace on the 4th floor too. They have this awesome herbal and terrace garden - the first of its kind in Karnataka. The classrooms are nice, with projectors and mics. The hostel rooms fit 3 people and have everything you need - a cot, table, wardrobe, and bathroom. The food in the mess is decent, but the menu stays the same a lot. They're big on extracurricular activities here, which is cool.

Admission: The teachers here are super qualified since it's a government medical college. But they don't really pay much attention to us, which is kinda normal for government colleges. The curriculum, called CBME by RUGHS, is great because it's more hands-on and practical.

Placement: I'm currently studying MBBS at a medical college in Mandya. After the four-year course, I'll have to do an internship. During this time, I'll get paid around 30,000 as a stipend. Once I complete the internship, I'll get my degree and become a licensed medical practitioner. This will allow me to work in any hospital as a doctor or even start my own clinic. The earning potential is great too - starting from a minimum of 70,000, depending on my skills and knowledge in the field.

Campus: The college uses a cool teaching style where teachers make their own PPTs and use them to explain stuff in class. With a big class of around 150 students, it can be hard to focus sometimes. The hostel is decent, but nothing too fancy.
