MD in Psychiatry - Batch of 2022

It is the most rated college for medicine.

Placements: After successful completion of a Bachelor's in Medicine, I would like to do a Master's in Psychiatry, while looking for its future scope. The college got integrated with various MNC hospitals and rehabilitation centres for placement focus. After completing training, we got hired, with the best package being 20.5 LPA.

Infrastructure: Firstly, without wearing white coats, we aren't allowed inside the campus. There is tight security at the gate, and entry is allowed after proper record entries. Mostly, the mess is so rushed all the time because students from the hostel also use the mess to have their food. Visitors are not allowed inside the campus without a proper security check.

Faculty: Even scoring above average marks is more complicated. We should concentrate on practical class, training, and at the same time prepare for examinations. In the time gap, teachers gave a lot of assignments and tests. Teachers are excellent in delivering the practical concepts on live cases.

Successful college in Manipal.

Placements: During the training period, we were able to know our potential to implement the knowledge we gained throughout the course. Such training records were helpful to continue our career in various reputed hospitals. GSK, Eric Life Sciences, and Abbott were some renowned recruiters.

Infrastructure: Laboratories for pathology, anatomy, and biochemistry were individually isolated and arranged. Basically, needed preservatives and equipment were arranged before lab sessions by the lab assistants. Campus food was hygienic and suitable for all kinds of people.

Faculty: Teachers deal with various sessions like anatomy, pathology, biochemistry, etc. The syllabus for the whole course was huge but it was partitioned into every year for easiness. Mostly, students were exposed to hands-on experience classes to get obvious knowledge.

Review of Kasturba Medical College, Manipal.

Placements: Batch strength: 250 I have not passed out yet but according to my knowledge and some seniors, most of the students don't go for placement; they either do NEET PG or foreign entrance examinations like USMLE and PLAB. Few who wants to work in hospital get recruited easily. The package range is 1-2 lacs monthly.

Infrastructure: 1.Lecture:- Lecture halls are big and accommodate half of batch at a time. Fully air-conditioned and well lit. Speakers are good too. Faculty usually use PowerPoint and projectors. 2. Hostels : Three types of hostels are available for boys. Hostel room with minimum cost are also nice. The expensive one is quite luxurious. 3. Library:- The library is the best place of the college. It is huge and has ambiance for study. 4.Mess:- Mess is also clean and decent. They serve healthy meals. But once you join mess, it is difficult to eat somewhere else . 5.Sports complex:- Marena sports complex is a large building consisting of many sports sections like badminton, table tennis, swimming, turf for football, gym, etc. for gym, you have to pay monthly fee. 6.Hospital:- It is always jam-packed. For MBBS students, there is lot to learn from. There is a student clinic also for students when they get sick.

Faculty: 1. Teachers and faculties: Faculty are good in number in each department. They are always excited to teach. (Ratio:-1:20) They even help you personally if you get into trouble. 2 Curriculum: It's a vast course with 19 subjects; it makes you knowledgeable and useful in society. It is hectic but sure fruitful. If you like to study for whole life, go for it. 3. Examinations: Exams are divided into theories and practicals. Passing marks are 50%. Internal marks decides your eligibility for exam. All NMC guidelines are strictly followed (attendance, etc.). Overall, exams are slightly difficult. Out of 250 , 240 students passes out.

Other: 1. Why did I choose this course?? Simply because it has lots of study and I like to study. If you are not dedicated, don't go for this degree. It is hectic for even those who like the course. 2. The time they give to teach individual subjects is very little, even reduced recently. There should be real counselling support for students, as most of them go into mental health problems. They should include a different compulsory subject other than health science for widening the perspective. More research should happen. 3. Many events and festivals are there all over the year. Annual day, sports meet, cultural fests, etc. are there. Students and faculties both participate. 4. The location of the college is geographically beautiful; it has both mountains and beaches nearby. Mangalore is the closest airport.

MBBS is difficult, but worth is in the END.

Placements: It's a MBBS course, so no such placement is there after an internship in which you get a stipend of 30,000, you give the NEET PG exam, and then if you are successful, you go for higher studies. People here give the USMLE exam as well as the PLAB and other licensing exams, though teaching is very good here.

Infrastructure: There is a free Wi-Fi facility in both the hostel and the library. The classes are well maintained, and everywhere is air-conditioned. The mess food is hygienic, and there is a sports facility known as MARENA, which takes a subscription but has all the sports, whatever.

Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable, helpful, and highly qualified doctors. They know what they are teaching and are quite passionate about it. The course is a CBME-based curriculum and is updated each passing year. Exams are quite difficult and require rigorous preparation, but it is worth it in the end.

Kasturba medical College : comprehensive review.

Placements: So in medical, there is no system of placements as such, but everyone is required to do a one-year internship in Kasturba Hospital itself. The stipend given is 30,000, and anyone who has passed the final year will be eligible for the internship. It is done in all departments of the hospital over the course of one year. The college gives you an extended period of another year to complete 365 days.

Infrastructure: The college has a lot of high-tech facilities that are academic-related. For example, the labs are great, everything is up-to-date and the latest, there is no overcrowding of classrooms, and the seating is very comfortable. The projector is great, and the study environment, including AC, is great. All the hostels have Wi-Fi facilities. It is a little difficult to find Wi-Fi in the labs and hospital, but it can be done if you get the official password. The hostels range from cheap to expensive. The cheaper ones are slightly older buildings and older rooms. The furniture is very basic: bed, table, cupboard, chair with a little bit of storage. There are options for AC and non-AC rooms, single and double rooms. The expensive hostel is very nice. It is almost like a hotel. The furniture is new, and the building is new. There are three messes available on the campus along with the food court with many restaurants, including Subway. There is a very big sports complex called Arena which includes all the sports and activities. The library is beautiful. It is six floors with many facilities and is open until 12 AM at night. The campus is lovely overall.

Faculty: All the professors are highly qualified doctors with vast knowledge. If a student is unhappy with any teaching style, they can reach out to the department. Teaching is mainly conducted through lectures, PPT tutorials, self-learning, assignments, group discussions, clinics, and labs. The curriculum is provided by the NMC, and the college adheres to it, ensuring that everything learned is useful in one's medical career. There are three exams over the year: two semester exams and one final university exam. The semester exams are usually tougher than the final exam, which covers the entire syllabus. The pass percentage is 50%. Even if a student fails the semester exams but achieves a cumulative of 50%, they will be eligible for the final exam.

Other: I chose this course because it was affordable to me and I had heard many great reviews. I love everything about the academics. The hospital system could be slightly improved. Campus life outside academics is also great. There is absolutely everything available here, from sports to clubs. It really depends on the lifestyle that you want, and there is no peer pressure. There are multiple events and festivals that happen throughout the year in our college and other colleges of the university. There are student-run clubs covering various interests like academics, media, sports, etc. The extracurricular activity culture is more prevalent in other colleges than in medical, but we still have everything. The college provides scholarships to students with high marks and ranks in NEET UG. Students must maintain a certain grade throughout college; otherwise, their scholarship may be revoked.
