It is the best private medical college.
Placements: In MBBS after passing out, most of the students were concerned with pursuing post-graduate degrees, and the college was being the first batch, students were not offered any campus placements. From this year, they were planning to take the post-graduate courses so it was a very good option to choose. If students can afford it, then they can surely opt for this 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.
Faculty: Faculty members were best, knowledgeable, and can gain the best practical skills. Everything which has to be taught in this course i.e theory and clinical will be taught, revised, and re-revised as compared to other colleges our college had a good pass percentage.
Other: It was the best place to acquire knowledge, practical skills, and communication skills.

Pretty decent college and course.
Placements: College course is good. No bullying during internship or the entire course. Seniors were good and extremely helpful. Although patient loads was less but it was good compared to other private colleges. The rotation were hit or miss. Some departments were amazing, like Pediatrics, where I actually felt like I was making a difference, even with small things. The seniors there were supportive and explained stuff without making me feel dumb. On the flip side, Surgery was. Well, let? S just say it was 90% standing around in the OT.
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.
Faculty: Honesty, the teachers are a mix, like you'd expect anywhere. Some of them are absolutely amazing? Really knowledgeable and passionate about their subjects. They make even the toughest topics like anatomy or pharmacology feel manageable. But yes, not gonna lie, there are a few who just read straight from the slides, and it gets boring.
Other: Fests are pretty decent and there are 2 college clubs. Also pretty decent.

The infrastructure is really good, and hostel food is also satisfactory.
Placements: Good medical college in terms of teaching and practical experience. Students get a quite decent experience of practicing medicine in the internship. The college has a decent patient flow in the hospital, not too less, not too high. Students can easily get exposure to a number of cases.
Infrastructure: College infrastructure is too good. Trust me with that, the hostels are pretty well spacious and cleaned properly every single day. Students are provided with lecture galleries with centralized air conditioners and quite large halls for regular classes. We are also provided with air conditioners libraries and 24/7 reading rooms.
