2Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Good infrastructure and facilities with highly skilled faculty, and bad placements in 2024.

Placements: Basically, there is no placement cell for our course. Only 26% of students got placed in a research project under department faculty. The average salary package offered in our course is not specified. Top recruiting companies or organisations for our course are WHO, NHM, DGHS, and Unicef. Our course is of 4 years of which 3 years are for academic studies and 1 year is for internships. Internships are provided by the department itself. Top roles offered in our course are epidemiologist, research associate, field worker, associate professor, and senior demonstrater in some academic departments of School of Public Health.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good, but it can be better. Our department (DCM & SPH) contains classrooms for different years, a library, and Wi-Fi. The library is provided by the PGI Campus. Water and canteen facilities are also there. The quality of the hostel facilities is average. The quality of food is good, clean, and hygienic. Medical facilities are also provided to the students. The sports management team is also there. On an average, it is good.

Faculty: All professors and associate professors are highly qualified and knowledgeable. We have extremely knowledgeable and qualified teachers to help you in gaining your knowledge. The course curriculum is not very good. Our course is a new concept in India, it needs some kind of changes but the faculty and HOD itself take feedback from students to improve the quality of study and curriculum. There are no semester exams in this college. Annual exams are there, and I think annual exams are a better idea for students. The passing percentage is 50%.

Other: I chose this course as I want to be a field worker and get attached to the population at the field level to get to know their feedback so that the government can do better. The best thing about our course is that it fulfills my wishes and provides good exposure to the population. The curriculum needs to get better. As this course is new, the department should need to change by taking trips from foreign countries for this course. There are enough events and fests to relieve your mind. Everyone enjoys it a lot as our campus is in the hospital itself. It is much needed for a student.

Dissatisfied with the higher officials and facilities for low placements.

Placements: There is a 1-year internship in the course. But the placements are a little low because the course is new and started 4 years ago. There are seats that should be given to eligible students but jobs are given to low-grade workers in order to give them a low salary and keep the government fund for themselves.

Infrastructure: There are very well developed classrooms and auditoriums for classes and conferences . Practical exposure is very high. The price of mess is very reasonable . Medical facilities are provided to each and every student . There is special relief in medicines for the students.

Faculty: Very experienced professors are available for teaching and are very helpful . Semester exams are of good level . The quality of teaching is top notch and one of the best all over the country. The administrative officials are very strict in order to make the students work hard .

Other: Placement of this course is a little low and colleges should work on it and give more importance to students well-being.

Physiotherapy in PGIMER.

Placements: Every year, 15 students enrol in the course. Internships last four and a half years, with four years of study followed by six months of internship. Every month, students receive a stipend of 500 rupees. Internships are available at the institute in a variety of wards and departments. Clinical trials work best here.

Infrastructure: There are no proper hostel facilities for students. Canteens are good, and food quality is adequate. A sports complex is available for sports activities. As the best medical institute after AIIMS Delhi, it offers a wide range of medical services.

Faculty: The teaching faculty is excellent, but more personnel are required. The course is curriculum relevant, and it brings out the best in students. It is not difficult to pass university exams if one studies well. The faculty is well-versed, and you can learn a lot from them in clinicals.

PGIMER Chandigarh
Admission FAQs

Q: Can I get B.Sc at PGIMER with 75 percentile in NEET?

Well, to get a decent government medical college, your NEET marks should be above 600 if you are a General candidate.

You can get colleges even if your mark is around 580 or so, but you can't expect your college campus and facilities to be top notch.

And one thing PGIMER is for doing your Masters degree not undergraduate degree .

You got to focus on all the three subjects, especially Physics. Physics is what really makes the difference coz almost every bio student is good at bio, so certainly that won't keep you offbeat with your other competitors. As chemistry is concerned, it's comparatively easy. So make sure you got to secure around 140 in physics, Around 160 in chemistry and 340 in Biology for a decent rank.

Solve as many question banks and previous years questions as possible.
