Very good campus life, ragging free campus, and lot of exposure apart from books.
Placements: From the 6th semester, students were eligible for the placement drives but for my batch the companies began to come in our final year. Companies such as Hexaware, Vivnovation, Argusoft, Surya Technologies, and so on. These were the companies come so far. The packages were between 4 LPA to 7 LPA. According to the college record, 97% of students got placed. If I didn't get placed, I would plan to do the master's.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure was very good as it was a central government institute. For books, we had a central library and book bank also. Classrooms were well-equipped with advanced technology. Indoor stadium, basketball, futsal, cricket, etc., were there.
Faculty: The student and faculty relationships were quite good in our department. Students could ask their doubts and queries without any hesitation. I like most of the faculty members in my department because they really support us to attend any technical symposiums, like signing the dues, and they support us to our HOD to allow us to attend any competitions. If the student fails to clear any paper in semester examination, the faculty members will encourage us to put re-evaluation and will support us to clear it in the next semester.
Other: Spandan the annual fest of JIPMER was held every year. It was a one week fest. Many different clubs were there which organised events at regular intervals.
