Absolutely satisfied with NSHM Institute of Health Sciences, Durgapur.

Placements: About 90 percent of our seniors did their placements. The highest package is 4-5 LPA, and the lowest is, I think, 2 LPA. Lenskart and Titan Eye Plus were some of the top recruiting companies. All our seniors got their internships, and the companies are Lenskart, Titan Eye Plus, Himalaya Opticals, and so on. Top roles are optometrists and eye consultants. We will be called optometrists and will be able to do anything except surgery. In surgery, we will help the ophthalmologists. Other than that, we are allowed and licensed to do anything and everything like the doctors.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi works at good speed. Labs are clean, and AC works just fine. Classrooms are good in structure, and we have enough benches for 130+ students. The library has all kinds of books from all the courses. The quality of the hostel rooms is very good, and sanitation is clean. Food is good and rich in nutrients. Medical facilities are good too, and the sports and games complex is very good, including all types of games available.

Faculty: Teachers are very knowledgeable and highly qualified to teach us professionally. Teaching quality is very good. The course curriculum is relevant. The courses, as well as CLC classes, make us industry-ready. Exams are moderate enough to pass. Students just need to study.

Other: Medical professions are respected, so is Optometry, serving our citizens with pride. This is why we have chosen this stream, and we can earn enough money too. Practical experience should be more in this course than actually present. All events are celebrated in college with great enthusiasm, and connectivity and communication are top notch here on campus.

The environment is supportive.

Infrastructure: Our faculty members are very helpful. Labs are well-managed, and we also do many camps all over the session. Wi-Fi is available all over the campus. No extra payment is needed for this. Every classroom has a projecting system. Canteen food quality is average. There are not too many choices, but you get available food courts within the campus (Vatika, Nescafe).

Faculty: Teachers are so helpful and knowledgeable. They describe everything till you understand. They help all the students coming from different language backgrounds. For semester exams, they also solve the previous year's question papers. Besides everything, they support us to be prepared for everything and always behave like our friends.

Other: Too much fun. No political environment. So much greenery all around the campus, all over the area. Available homestay or PG outside campus. I am having so much fun and enjoyment. Most of all, study is prepared in the classroom. Now I am in the 3rd semester. My 2 semesters' results are also good.
