Happy to be a part of KMC, Manipal.
Placements: Students got opportunities to work in various organizations such as AIIMS, PGIMER, and CMC Vellore. We got paid with an initial pay of 35,000 per month, which purely depended upon the organizations and the reputation of the centers. The maximum package was up to 56,000 per month.
Infrastructure: Every need is available within the campus, so it’s not necessary to move out of the college campus. Even day scholars are allowed to stay in the hostel in case of emergency. Hostellers are allowed to visit their home only once a month. In case of any emergencies, we must contact the administration office for leaving the hostels.
Faculty: Teachers have a stabilized mindset in handling the students. Teachers analyze the doubts of the students and give them a correct reply regarding them. The main examinations are conducted only once a year. In the middle, teachers conduct model examinations.

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.

Review of Manipal University, Manipal.
Placements: There are only 5 students in my course. The highest package is 6 LPA and the lowest is 3 LPA. There are no placements in our department. There are no recruiting companies visiting my course. There is nothing like internships, the work we do in our posting in the laboratory is considered as training and we get certificate at last. There are no internships kind of things in my course.
Infrastructure: College facilities are very good. In our department, we have a big laboratory for testing the samples. There are many equipment which are costly that we use in our laboratory. Wi-Fi is available all over the campus including in the college departments, mess, hostel, and library. Classrooms are so clean and with AC and projectors. Library is very big with 4 floors and with all sorts of books and journals with AC.
Faculty: Faculty members are very helpful in case of studies and other health issues that students are facing. They are very knowledgeable and experienced and their teaching is good. In our course, we can work in industrial areas and also for quality control checking. Semester exams are very difficult and the percentage for passing is 50%.
Other: I chose this course because it has a good scope for the future. The best thing about our course is the laboratory is very well-equipped with all the facilities. There is nothing to improve in the course it's a very good and fine course where we can learn a lot. There are many events and fests conducted on campus. Scholarships which I got the ST scholarship which I applied and got Rs. 84,000 in my first year.

Successful college in Manipal.

Review of Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, Manipal Academy of Higher Education.
Placements: I am working at Arihant Eye Centre after completing the course here. I got to know about it from my friend, so I applied for it and cleared it. In our college, I had a job during training, but they offered the lowest package of 25,000 per month, so I looked for a job on my own.
Infrastructure: I love the college administration. For getting admitted into the course of post graduate degree, it's very essential to clear the entrance exam. Sports systems are well-planned in the college, and only the curious candidates are allowed to participate in sports.
Faculty: I have good faith in professors. They play a crucial role in helping us pass exams, which happen annually. Professors have hands-on practical experience and in-depth knowledge about the courses. The worst thing about the academics is that professors are impatient in dealing with a large number of students.
