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.

I am absolutely satisfied with the faculty members and placements.

Placements: Around 80-90% of students are placed in this course. The average salary after M.S surgery course often range between Rs. 60,000 and Rs. 1.2 lakhs per month. Roles after MS general surgery include subspecialty training, academic and teaching roles, clinical practice, and many others.

Infrastructure: It has well-developed infrastructure and facilities that support medical education, research, and patient care. Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and library are available. We also have a central library, which is large and we also have a modern library with thousands of medical books and journals. Quality of food is good, and the mess and canteen are too well. Food is made with hygiene and is healthy.

Faculty: The department is well staffed and organised into multiple units and is divided into 5-6 surgical units each led by a professors or additional professor. The MS program at JIPMER follows the national commission NMC guidelines but also has institute specific enhancement. Exams are conducted by JIPMER Deemed University with internal and external examiners.

It is a hygienic campus with professional faculty members.

Placements: The package differs for students, it is based on the students' performance during training. Mostly postgraduate students prefer to start their own branches instead of working in other hospitals. Also, they give good offers, with a salary package of up to 30 LPA.

Infrastructure: Training and practical classes are done in the hospital of JIMPER, which is within the college campus. Hostel fees are slightly higher than expected. Education fees are given to the students based on their marks in the entrance examinations. Students must dress formally.

Faculty: By the way, teachers are highly experienced in the field of medicine. They keep handling some patients on all days. With such cases, we are able to gain a lot of knowledge, with live practical demos. The course curriculum are so heavy to study before the exams.

Review of Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research.

Placements: More skillful and interested performers have the opportunity to work in the JIPMER Hospital even after the completion of the training period. The package would be mostly between Rs 60,000 to Rs 1.2 lakh per month. Mostly, we undergoa training period on the campus of JIPMER.

Infrastructure: Most amazing and relaxing environment, so students from various areas prefer to do their college at JIPMER, Puducherry. It is compulsory to wear white coats and carry stethoscopes daily. A separate canteen is available for the students and for the hospital visitors.

Faculty: Most of the sessions are practical. Examinations are conducted at the end of the year which would be semester exams. Faculty members are experienced. They handle practical classes in the hospital and give us knowledge on practical examination of the cases.
