Absolutely satisfied with faculty .

Placements: The total percentage of students is 16%. The average package is 3 years. Stnm Hospital, Manipal Hospital, and Singtam Hospital. All 16% of students get internships at Manipal. Roles offered include Senior Lab Technician. There are endless opportunities after taking MLT. We can build our businesses or work in hospitals. It is overall a very good course.

Infrastructure: The college has well-developed labs with all the equipment. Proper hygiene and safety protocols are followed. Free Wi-Fi and a 9 AM to 9 PM library facility are provided to every student. The food in the mess is hygienic and tasty. Everyone interested in sports is also encouraged to participate in fests.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and qualified. The course curriculum is very relevant, and it does make students industry-ready. The semester exams are quite tough. The pass percentage is 50%. Teachers and workers there are very professional, friendly, and helpful. Overall, the environment is very positive and beautiful.

Other: I chose this course because I want to work in the medical field. The best thing about my course is that we can help people. The thing I wish to improve is proper practical teaching. There are lots of fests and events on the campus, including Aura, Hustle, etc.

Our college has awesome faculty members and provides research opportunities.

Placements: The college provides internships and not placements. The internships give us a great experience with different kinds of situations. The stipend offered is around Rs.12,000 per month for MBBS students.

Infrastructure: The labs are good. There are ample opportunities for research, and the college provides funds for it. Sports are a charm of the college, with students playing every day on the field. Sports out here are quite competitive. I'm a hosteler. There are 3-sharing rooms. The rooms are spacious, and each room has a fan and geyser. The food in the mess is okay compared to other hostel foods. We have a gym indoor sports arena. We can even cook in the room and eat, and there are no restrictions.

Faculty: Faculty members are very good and dedicated to their job. They are a family to us. They are very helpful. We have a guardian teacher system with every 5 to 6 students under one guardian teacher who looks after both academic and personal development of students. The course curriculum is vast and has three subjects in the first year. The exam structure is annual. Internal assessments are also conducted.

Infrastructure: Our college infrastructure is very decent, and the location and atmosphere are awesome. The environment is cool and fit for studying.

I am satisfied with academics, but it could do better on the infrastructure.

Placements: 90 percent of students get placed in my course. The average offered is Rs. 50,000 per month. The Sikkim government is the top recruiter, but many students open their own clinics. 100 percent of students from our course get internships within college. A medical officer role is offered in our course.

Infrastructure: There are indoor activities like a gym, a badminton court, a basketball court, and a cricket court. It has well-equipped labs. The hostel has Wi-Fi. There are smart classrooms. There is a digital library with good Wi-Fi and a library with a study room. We have 3 and 2 sharing rooms in the hostel. The food quality is average to low. There are medical facilities like free doctor appointments, free hospital beds, etc.

Faculty: Teacher are helpful, well-qualified, and extremely knowledgeable in their field. They love what they are doing. Our course curriculum is clinically relevant, and it makes us ready for the future outlook. University exams are average, with an 80 percent pass percentage.
