Infrastructure: Infrastructure is a very special thing in our college because it's full of well-equipped facilities and also has a good campus life. We have AI labs, VR labs, and all departments have their separate labs. We also have Wi-Fi computers in the library and world-class books. Hostels are separate for girls and boys, and we have a big playground as well as separate courts for volleyball, throwball, badminton, etc.

Review of Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences.

Placements: Any student who has completed their 12th standard, applied for the NEET exam, and has an eligible score can apply for Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences. Among the students who have the expected cut-off, those who are selected can get admitted to the institute. MBBS students, after their four years of course can work in the in-house hospital itself, which is called the internship period. After that, they can get their MBBS degree and then apply to any other hospital in India and work as an MBBS doctor.

Infrastructure: PIMS has a well-structured, top-class infrastructure. There are international standard classrooms with seating arrangements for more than 200 students in every classroom, and the classrooms have centralized AC. We have a good laboratory in each department. There is also a very big confined library in which all the books are available to read, and the library is my favourite place. The campus also has a very big ground, on which all the sports activities happen. The games include football, volleyball, throwball, badminton, cricket, etc.

Faculty: Each department has more than 10 faculty members, which is a sufficient number, and all the faculty members are well-experienced doctors from the most renowned institutions like AIIMS, JIPMER, etc. We follow the CBME MBBS curriculum. Compared to other universities like MGR University and Pondicherry University, the exams are a bit tough, but because of our college's coaching, almost all the students pass all the exams every year.

Other: I chose MBBS because we live to serve people and help the diseased and needy people without any discrimination. The best thing about this course is that we can interact very well with the community, and we can know about their lifestyle, income, health, etc. Not only MBBS, our college also focuses on cultural and sports events. Our college conducts Aura, Equinox, Interbatch, Interhouse, Rooted, Cantata, Christmas celebration, Hostel Day celebration, Faculty Nights, Sports Day, Investiture Ceremony, etc.

Excellent college with good faculty members and 100% placements.

Placements: We were 60 in our class. Mostly, 65% of our students have been placed in our own mother hospital. Nursing is the course offered for our students. All the students would be allowed to do internships at our own mother hospital. They recruit mostly at their mother hospital.

Infrastructure: There are labs for various departments in our college. Classrooms were well furnished with comfortable chair. The library was good, with adequate books for reference. The hostel and the mess were good. All the facilities, like sports and medicine, were available .

Faculty: All the faculty members were well-qualified and knowledgeable. They helped a lot of us secure good marks in our curriculum. The exams would be a bit difficult but it's easy to crack on the first attempt. 100% of the results were given in our batch. It's all because of our faculty members.

Other: I have chose this course because of my parents compulsion but after I got into it, I started loving this professions. Extra curricular activities can be a bit more improved .

Review of Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences.

Placements: We are not offered placements, but a stipend is offered for internships. Internships are compulsory after the 4.5 years of theory studies. The stipend offered is around Rs. 17000 per month. The demand in the medical field is good, and the job opportunities are also good. In rural areas, you can get around Rs. 60000 per month as an MBBS doctor. In cities like Bombay, Delhi, etc., you get around Rs. 80,000 per month to Rs. 90,000 per month.

Infrastructure: Labs are accessible to students, which is a factor that differentiates this college from other colleges. We have many sports facilities and a recreational room.

Faculty: Faculty members are hard-working and helpful. If you like to learn, you can approach them at any time, and they are ready to help you. There are nine semesters and one year of posting as an intern. The curriculum of MBBS is quite hectic. Both practical and theoretical exams are held at the end of the semester.

Other: Many events and seminars are organised throughout the year. There are many camps, like HIV awareness camps, blood donation camps, etc.

Satisfactory because right now they focus much on how the students learn than what they learn.

Placements: 150 students a batch. Half of them are working in covid related work right now. There's no such thing as recruitment, once you have registered with the MCI, an individual can join any hospital or set up a clinic and work, every year around 100 interns are produced.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available on the whole campus. College is extremely supportive of sports. Mess food is okay, but around 4 canteens are available. Some of them even provide a monthly menu, which you can enrol into, before covid. Before covid every 2 months once we have inter/intra sports activities.

Faculty: All the medical exams are tough, and without the help of teachers and seniors, it's very difficult to pass. The teaching quality was good, but they give less internal, which directly affects us when we appear for university exams. Based on the training given to us, the students are ready for taking up duties as medical officers.
