Good infrastructure and perfect.

Placements: Around 80-90% of students got placed. The highest package is 2.4 LPA, and the average is 1.8 LPA. Recruited by Chettinad Hospital, Retort Pharma, and Palamur Bio. 100% of students got internships mainly at Chettinad. Roles offered are lab tech, OT tech, radiology tech, and cardiac/respiratory tech.

Infrastructure: Chettinad AHS offers smart classrooms, advanced labs, Wi-Fi, and a well-stocked library. Hostels are clean with good food. Medical care is 24X7 via Chettinad Hospital. Sports, gym, and indoor games ensure all-around student well-being and development.

Faculty: Faculty members at Chettinad AHS are well-qualified, supportive, and experienced, ensuring high teaching standards. The curriculum is updated and industry-focused with strong practical exposure. Semester exams are moderate, and the pass percentage is around 85-90%.

Other: I chose AHS for strong clinical exposure and career scope. Best parts are practical training, skilled faculty members, and hospital access. Needs more industry tie-ups. Campus is lively, well-connected, with fests, sports, friendly crowd, and scholarships for merit students.

Good infrastructure and facilities. A better option for medical.

Placements: The placements from this college are to Kaveri Hospital, Apollo Hospital, and SRM Global Hospital. They provide internships in these hospitals or their own hospital (Chettinad Hospital) to all the students. I'm studying M.Sc. Integrated Cardiac Technology and Echocardiographers are the ones who are most recruited.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is top-notch in this college. Classrooms are with AC. There is Wi-Fi throughout the entire college. They have spacious labs with enough equipment for everyone to use. They have a massive library which provides all the books you want. There is a canteen inside the college and outside the college. About sports and games, they have 3 grounds, an indoor stadium, and many more spaces provided for sports. Regarding the hostel, they provide decent food with different menus including many dishes every day. As there is a hospital near the college, we can get access to great medical facilities.

Faculty: The course is actually easy to study. We can study on our own with textbooks and notes. Teachers will teach us, but as we know, they have a lot of portions to cover, so they concentrate on finishing the portions. But if you ask anything, they will clear all your doubts. They also help us by sending important notes for semester exams, so exams become easier.

Other: I chose this course because it's my passion. Also, allied health science courses will help you earn money. Overall, this college is better on the educational side, and they always try to keep students disciplined. But about programs, events, and fests, I wish they would improve in this area. They conduct many extracurricular activities and competitions, but the programs are not that great.

It is a good college with good curriculum.

Placements: Placements depend on your knowledge because the patient inflow is less so that you may not get much of clinical experience. But other than that the teaching style is good because of the competency-based education it changed. It is clear and easy to understand.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is not much good. They have a huge campus, but half of it is covered by hospital and dental college. Surroundings are also good as it is located on the outskirts of the city. We have a good library and labs.

Faculty: Teaching in our college is good, and they conduct tests. The teaching and technical staffs are good. They try to make everyone understand the concept with cadavers bones, etc. There are fewer cadavers, so we found it hard to understand the concepts.

It is a very good college with excellent faculty members and infrastructure.

Placements: Around 90% of the students got placements in different sectors. Most of them got placed in the hospital sector. In some particular departments, students are able to work in the hospital sector and some companies. They are offering a specialist job in companies. We can also work as a tutor too.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is excellent. We have very good Wi-Fi connections, lab facilities, spacious classroom with a central library. They also provide indoor and outdoor facilities. The hostel has spacious and ventilated rooms. They serve both vegetarian and non-vegetarian foods, and they are clean and fresh. Sports are encouraged in our college.

Faculty: Faculty members in our college are helpful, qualified and well-knowledgeable. Most of the classes are taken by experienced doctors only. The teaching quality is also excellent. This course curriculum is relevant.

Other: I chose this course because it is new to me. We can learn many things in medicine. For this course, they allot limited seats only. They conduct events and college fest every year.

It is an average college for everything.

Placements: Its an average college for all the courses. Not much faculty members are available to teach in medical side. Patients will be very much less to see. We can get a the highest salary of about 20000 while completing the course. There are no campus interview in our college. Placements are little difficult.

Infrastructure: The classes are not pretty good. You will get no classes in hospital side. Research side it is little much better. The Wi-Fi are available but we can surf only google and other academics. Hostel is good and the food is considerably good to eat. They give a little importance to sports.

Faculty: The doctors are well trained and educated. But the tutors are not up to the mark. Teaching side it's very much bad. There will be no classes once you come to hospital side. You will get only practical knowledge. The subject patterns are pretty good but not up to the mark.

Other: I chose my group because I had no other ideas to do. There should me good teaching facilities. Events are very much less and that is needed to be improved.

Is Chettinad Hospital and Research Institute as good as Lovely Professional University for MD in Radio-diagnosis?

Answered a year ago

Chettinad Hospital & Research Institute offers a three-year MD in Radio-diagnosis with 15 seats, a NAAC 'A' campus and a 600-bed teaching hospital, ensuring rich clinical exposure. Lovely Professional University does not currently offer an MD in Radio-diagnosis, so direct comparison isn't possible.
