It is the best private medical college.

Infrastructure: It provides the best infrastructure, laboratories facilities, and library. Along with the studies, co-curricular activities were also encouraged. In the initial days of our hostel life, students had taste-related issues with the mess food but later it was sorted. Hostels were just like hotel rooms, with very good maintenance.

Pretty decent college and course.

Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are good overall. A. c with twin sharing bedroom and attached bathroom. No single rooms available though. Other eminites are also pretty decent. Mess food is good. The college infrastructure is decent overall, but it? S not perfect. The lecture halls are spacious enough and have projectors, but sometimes the equipment does? T work properly, which can be a bit annoying during lectures. The library is well-stocked with books and journals.

I'm satisfied with hotels and food. Faculty members are okay types.

Infrastructure: Hostel facility is good because they charge a lot of money for that. Food is hygienic as well they also provide various facilities like gym, indoor games, basketball, cricket, and football. There are also vending machines which make it a bit easy to buy food as it saves time from going outside.
