Good placement with decent infrastructure, but food average.
Placements: In our course, almost 80% of students got placed. Most of them join government hospital for a job. The package does not matter much in MBBS, but some got 12 LPA in a private hospital. The average is near 8 LPA. All students got internships, mostly in a government hospital. Some companies like Apollo, Fortis, and SRM also come for hiring. The roles are like junior doctor, president, and medical officer.
Infrastructure: Our pharmacy department has a good lab and all the equipment also. Classrooms have fans, lights, and a projector, which sometimes do not work. Wi-Fi is available, but mostly slow. The library is big and has books, but not all of them are new ones. The hostel is of an okay type, and the room is a little small. Mess food is not so tasty, but it's okay to eat. The canteen has limited items. A medical facility is there, but sometimes the doctor is not available. The sports ground is also there, but not all the game stuff is available.
Faculty: Teachers are good and have knowledge, but some teachers do not explain well. Few teachers are very helpful and clear doubts anytime. The course is okay, some parts are useful for an industry job, but not all. The exam is not very hard if you study regularly. The passing percentage is around 85% or something like that.
Other: Course is good, but it needs more practical, and fests are also not conducted.

    Q:   Can I join Madras Medical College, Chennai without NEET?
    A: 

    Madras Medical College, Chennai requires NEET scores for admission to the MBBS program. NEET is a national-level entrance exam conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission to medical courses in India. Therefore, it is mandatory for candidates to qualify for the NEET exam to be eligible for admission to the MBBS programme at Madras Medical College.

    AskShikshaGPT on App
    Q:   What impact does the number of available seats have on NEET 2024 cut-offs?
    A: 

    A significant number of applicants compete for a limited number of seats in government medical colleges under the All India quota based on NEET exam, making admission extremely competitive.

    For General AI category, the cutoffs are substantially higher than the cutoff for other All India quota seats. A considerably higher score—often in the range of 650–700 or more out of 720—is typically needed to be eligible for a place in a government medical college through the All India quota.

    A candidate who scores only 2–4 marks above the cutoff is likely to enter a highly competitive zone where their prospects of getting an All India quota seat are unpredictable and dependent on a number of variables, including the distribution of their overall score and the number of seats available.

    The number of candidates taking the NEET exam has a direct effect on the cut-off as well. A big candidate pool raises the level of competition and could result in higher cutoffs. The cut-off scores are impacted by the number of seats available in medical colleges.
