Teachers and quality of teaching is very good.
Placements: To say the truth, placement isn't the strongest part here. There is no big placement cell or anything, but some students got into public health projects, research work, or NGOs if you are planning to go for higher studies or government sector jobs. Most of the students got internships at this college.
Infrastructure: The college is simple and it is maintained well. Classrooms are clean, and there is a decent library with enough material. Labs are functional. Wi-Fi works in the entire campus and the campus is peaceful. Sports and canteen facilities are also available in the college.
Faculty: The faculty is experienced and supportive. Some are strict, but they care about teaching. Over time, I realized that they are actually approachable if you show some interest. Course curriculum focuses a lot on practical knowledge and real-world public health issues. Semester exams in the college are easy to pass.
