MBBS - Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery - Batch of 2029

Offered by Motilal Nehru Medical College, Allahabad

4.8

5Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Excellent clinical exposure, supportive faculty, and vibrant campus life.

Placements: MBBS courses in government medical colleges in India, including MLNMC Prayagraj, do not offer traditional campus placements like engineering or management institutes. Medical graduates are required to undergo a Compulsory Rotatory Residential Internship for one year. After this, there is a bond of two years to serve as a government doctor in rural hospitals and PHC centres. After this, some graduates take the NEET PG exam and secure a seat in MD/MS courses to pursue post-graduation. Some graduates directly apply as general physicians in private hospital, PHCs, Tutors, and some open their own clinics.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good. There is no Wi-Fi facility. The laboratories are well-equipped for Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Pathology, Microbiology, and Pharmacology, with modern microscopes, specimens, and simulation models for hands-on learning. There are projectors in class with enough seats. There is a central library that offers all the required books. The hostel provides two individuals in one room. The message quality is good, but a little expensive. There is enough space for games and sports.

Faculty: All teachers at MLN Medical College are highly qualified, holding MD/MS in their respective fields, with years of experience in teaching and clinical practice. They are very helpful and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is amazing. The MBBS curriculum adheres to the CBME framework. It makes the study interesting and useful for medical practice. Professional exams consist of theory papers, practical/viva boards, and internal assessment. The level is moderately difficult, balancing conceptual clarity and application. In our batch, the pass percentage is 97 percent.

Other: Our batch has 200 students with 130 boys and 70 girls. The MBBS course was chosen for its practical skill development, broad knowledge base, and direct pathway to serving the community as a medical professional. Every year, the students organise an annual fest named Euphoria. The college is situated in the central area of Prayagraj. The college conducts various webinars and comes for research purposes.

Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) - Batch of 2020

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

My dream came true.

Placements: The total batch is of 200 students, including both male and female, who are selected through an all-India level examination. It provides both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in various medical departments, and our college is ranked around 9000.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not so good; it is a very old college. The library facility in our college, which is common to all classrooms, is not so good. It is old, but the teaching is the best. The campus is all green. I think if you love greenery, then it is the best college to attend.

Faculty: Teachers are among the best in our college; they hold very responsible positions in the country. They make the topics so easy to understand that it becomes cakework. Many hard topics become very easy. They also explain the clinical topics in such a way that you learn everything very easily.

Other: Fest is celebrated every year in our college, which is known as Euphoria. The fee structure of our college is Rs. 24,000 for general students. Campus greenery is very good, and seniors are supportive.

KGMU College of Nursing, Best Place for Nursing.

Placements: There are about 110 students in my batch. The B.Sc. Nursing can offer from about 25k per month to about 4 Lacs per month, based on your experience and the place you're practicing. For example, in Indian private hospitals, as a fresher, you can get around 25k, while in government hospitals, you can get up to 80k, and in Australia, you can get up to 400k.

Infrastructure: In our college, there is Wi-Fi available for the students, which they need to register for first at the IT cell of the college. The lecture halls are fully air-conditioned, and there is a fire safety system in each class. We are provided with a health card, with which we can get our health checkups.

Faculty: The faculty is very nice and supportive, and there are always some exceptions, which is the case here too. The course curriculum is nice, but the attendance criteria are very disturbing for students, requiring 100% attendance in their clinicals. It should be around 80%.

Maybe the dream college you want.

Placements: There are 200 students in one batch, who are selected through the NEET UG examination, which is conducted at the national level. 5.5 years of course, including 4.5 years and one year of internship. After that, they are posted in rural areas for two years, or take NEET PG exam to pursue post graduation.

Infrastructure: Facilities are very good, we have a very good library, and the infrastructure is somewhat old. The campus is very good, with greenery all around. It is very refreshing and is away from the traffic. The hospital is separate. The hostel is a little bit old. The infrastructure is a little old and not so good...

Faculty: Internal exams are conducted throughout the year, and at the end of the year, a professional exam takes place. After passing that exam, we are promoted to the next year. Upon completion of 4.5 years, a one-year internship follows, during which students are paid a stipend.

A really good infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: Placements aren't provided by this college, but you have to clear the exams for nursing officer, by which you will get placement further according to the exams you have filled. 70-80% of students are placed in the best colleges, and others are pursuing M.Sc. Yes, there is an internship available in the course duration, in which you have to do regular duties in KGMU.

Infrastructure: The facilities provided by the college are proper water facilities, projectors, AC classrooms, fire alarms on each and every floor with water sprays attached in every classroom, labs for better understanding of students, and a library where you can find your course books easily. The quality of the hostel is not that good; I would rate it as average. The mess and canteen are good. Events are organized every year, such as Sports Week, where different games like the 400-meter run race and relay race are held.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful and approachable, and they are well-qualified and knowledgeable. They teach very well; the quality of teaching is not that excellent but above average. The course curriculum is according to the students, which makes it easier as it follows a semester-wise system. The difficulty of semester exams is moderate—not that difficult, not that easy. The pass percentage is 50%.

Other: I chose this course as it serves humanity and has better opportunities for the future, with high exposure to clinical areas that will enhance and improve our knowledge in terms of health services. I wish the attendance percentage and medical leave policies should be given more consideration. There are many events held in this college, such as Rhapsody, Freshers, Saraswati Pooja, Holi, Diwali, etc. The campus surroundings are good, especially in particular areas.
