M.Sc. in Medical Microbiology.

Placements: During the training period, we were able to receive a stipend, which was typically between Rs. 25,000 and Rs. 40,000 per month. We grabbed such opportunities regarding the placement in charge. Alumni from the college had good connectivity with the college, even after course completion.

Life at KMC Mangalore as an undergraduate doctor.

Placements: It's an undergraduate degree; as soon as you pass your final exam, you have to do a one-year internship from your college, and they pay you 30,000 per month. After that, you can join a private hospital, where the minimum salary is about 40,000 as an undergraduate, or you can go for PG.

Infrastructure: In my college, you will get a proper campus for only the first year; after that, you will be shifted to another hostel, and from there, all the venues for classes and postings are at different places, so you will mostly need a vehicle. The hostel mess is good, and all other facilities are great. There is a sports complex in the college where you can play squash, football, basketball, table tennis, etc., and there is a gym, but you have to pay for it.

Faculty: The faculty is really experienced and approachable. There are many famous faculty members in the college, like Archit Sir and SRB Sir; they are doctors themselves, so they prepare you for the real world and make you industry-ready. Exams are of medium difficulty; you need a minimum of 40% in theory and 40% in practicals, but the total should be 50%.

Other: The best thing about MBBS is that it's a noble profession and is respected, but the worst part is it takes a lot of sacrifice. Money-wise, you can make a lot of money, but you really have to work hard; passing MBBS is just the first step.

BPT programme in KMC Bangalore provides good facilities and infrastructure.

Placements: In our college, there is no placement program, but there is an internship program. The number of students in my course was 40 in my year, but has increased to 50 for the junior batches. The internship program is free of cost and lasts about six months. We work in Manipal hospitals such as KMC Attavara, KMC Jyothi, and KMC Bejai for pediatrics.

Infrastructure: The college has good facilities, including air-conditioned classrooms and labs. The central library at Falnir has a wide selection of books and research publications. The hostel fee is around INR 1,20,000, which includes a mess card that can be used like an ATM card in the mess. The college has a sports complex called the Manipal Arena, which is free to use except for the gym.

Faculty: The faculty members are great and very supportive. They are all specialists in their fields. The teaching quality is excellent because most of the teachers are experienced and they share their knowledge and experiences with us. The course is semester-based, with each semester lasting six months. The exams are not too difficult, and the minimum passing percentage is 50%.

Other: My course was a BPT Bachelor of Physiotherapy. The reason I chose this course was because of the vast scope in this field we have, like cardiopulmonary, neuro, ortho, paediatrics, geriatrics, oncology, and sports medicine.
