Great campus with good learning exposure.

Placements: Government Medical College Kozhikode was the best option for the B.Sc. Optometry course. Around 20 seats were available, and only top students from the LBS rank got admission. Fees were very affordable compared to private institutions. It was run by KUHS University. The course was three years, plus one year of internship. The internship completed in the Ophthalmology department was highly useful for future opportunities. Job opportunities were available in hospitals and the optical field.

Infrastructure: The Ophthalmology department was strong and provided the needed patient exposure. Wi-Fi facilities were not available for students. Classrooms were provided for the theory section. Government hostels were available, although there was a small delay. The mess and food were decent. A playground, gym, and sports training were also available.

Faculty: Faculty members were helpful and knowledgeable. The teaching quality was okay. The syllabus was vast and covered both clinical and optical portions. Practical classes related to the optical field were not much provided. Exams were pretty tough, but they were not impossible to pass. Most of the time, all students get the pass percentage.

Other: The campus was the main highlight. There were many events, programs, and fests to boost extracurricular activities. The e-grants scholarship was provided, so you received all fees back and also pocket money if eligible.
