Our college offers a bright future opportunity.

Placements: Clinical postings are conducted daily in our college. The PG selection ratio of our college is also good. Our batch has a strength of 150+ students, which is very good. Many of our seniors were selected by reputed medical colleges after their PG.

Infrastructure: We have very good infrastructure. You will get hostel and mess facilities. There is a library in the college and we also have a study room in our hostel where we can study without any kind of disturbance. If you are a North Indian student, you can get North Indian food in the mess. This is the plus point of our mess, as a lot of South Indian colleges serve South Indian food, but this isn't the case with our college.

Faculty: Teachers in our college are very well qualified. They are very determined as well. Some of our teachers have completed their specialisation in foreign medical universities. College exams are conducted in a proper manner by the university. The university is very strict in terms of exams. They issue proper notice 2 to 3 months before the exams. Everything is managed in a great way.

A good medical school to learn.

Placements: Our college provides one of the best result among colleges under RGUHS. Even one of my senior was university topper 3 years back. And now she is pursuing her PG from top medical college in Bangalore, and the list goes on. It gets easier if we get to see live cases and then study which goes well here.

Infrastructure: The hostels are well maintained, double seater with common bathroom, we get full balanced diet in our mess, library has all the latest books of collection and one large ground along with basketball court is there and Wi-Fi is provided too in library along with the access for e - learning.

Faculty: Every Saturday our weekly assessment test Is conducted for subjects which helps us to prepare for our entrance exams and faculty here is cooperative who are ready to help on call. The test are so well defined that one can clear doubts conceptually and later ask mentor how to do well.

Other: Every year Dejavu, our college fest is organized.

Well trained faculty members are there and they focus on theory and practical both the sides as being a doctor practical and theory both are important. Course makes us industry ready since we have practical information too.

Great exposure to many booming subjects.

Placements: As I'm currently studying there, I'd like to add that our seniors, almost all of them, are either pursuing a Ph.D. or working in companies such as Shilpa Biologics, Unibic, ICMR, and others. By completing this course, we can join QA & QC as a research assistant, in pharmaceutical industries, and many others.

Infrastructure: Department of RIBS (Research Institute for Biomedical Sciences) has great infrastructure and facilities, even though it is located in a small area. Wi-Fi facility, lab equipment, and instrumentation are sophisticated. Also, the clean room facility, which is rare in universities, adds a plus point. And library facilities are good and easily accessible for students.

Faculty: Faculty members of Biomedical Science provide great insight into all the courses offered. Curriculum is highly advanced and relevant for the future, further studies, especially if a student is planning to get into the research field. As there are many hurdles during the course, whether it is about exams or presentations or projects, but the outcome is completely helpful.

Other: Overall, it's a great choice for a student who's totally into Science. Stem cell, cancer biology, research methodology, and omics, and other subjects, which give exposure to a vast field of Science. NSS, cultural events, competitions, and poster presentations all enhance the learning process. National and international conferences enhance volunteering and participation.
