MBBS - Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery - Batch of 2026

Offered by Dr. Somervell Memorial CSI Medical College and Hospital

2.2

3Placements3Infrastructure3Faculty1Crowd & Campus Life1Value for Money

Review of Dr. Somervell Memorial CSI Medical College and Hospital.

Placements: The college is a medical college, so there is no concept of placement. Some people who complete their MBBS course from here prefer to give NEET PG or transfer to the Middle East for good opportunities. Kerala itself has low employment if you are just an MBBS student. No companies are coming for placement. Students have to do a permanent 1-year internship where they help and learn more about the practical knowledge of a doctor.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are quite big. It's an old college established in 2002, so the classrooms are like those of a government college. A smart board is there for lectures, with no Wi-Fi facility available in class. The library is quite big, and all the skill labs and subject labs are properly maintained. The quality of the hostel is bad. There is no choice, you must take triple occupancy as there is not enough space, especially in the girls' hostel. There is no canteen in the hostel, and the mess of the college is the worst; the food is not even good, hygienic, and they charge too much for it.

Faculty: As this is a medical college, you will feel the stress, assignments, and exam pressure from faculty members. Teachers are knowledgeable and have good teaching quality. The course is curriculum-relevant and makes the students ready for real-life challenges. Semester exams are tough to pass. In fact, Kerala University of Health Sciences is among the toughest universities to pass. The pass percentage is generally above 80%. Teachers help you a lot.

Other: I chose this course to become a doctor and be socially well-recognized. People look up to you. The stress should have been less in my course, that is one thing I want to change. There are no events or fests, a high campus crowd, and calm surroundings. Welcome to the Jail and Concentration Camps. You cannot leave the hostel without loads of permission signs.

Master of Commerce (M.Com.) - Batch of 2021

Offered by All Saints College

3.2

4Placements4Infrastructure2Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

Short note on my college.

Placements: Top recruitment companies like Infopark, Technopark, and UST were providing massive offers with satisfying packages. Also, the intern packages start from 1.5 LPA, which is very encouraging for students to join such courses. Additionally, 70 to 78% got placed in the on-campus drives itself.

Infrastructure: This is one of the sophisticated branches of All Saint’s College, as it is located in Thiruvananthapuram. Throughout the year, they plan only one event, which is organized in a grand manner. Students from various states come to pursue their UG and PG degrees, most of them from Tamil Nadu.

Faculty: Professors lavishly spend most of their time creating discussions and controversies among the students, which are unnecessary for students. In a 1-hour session, they simply utilize 30 minutes for teaching and then move on to attend to their other work.
