I'm satisfied.

Placements: Around 20%-40% get direct placements, as many pursue higher studies. In the lowest package, the college has offered course for us, so that students can study well without any financial pressure. Top recruiters are from Bangalore, Mumbai, etc. Europe is also part of the best option as well. Above 60% of students got internships in better institutions at Manashasthra Mind Care, Kilpauk, Child Mental Care Farm, and so on. Top roles include clinical psychology, counseling, medical and psychiatry, f...

Well, if you came only for study, it is good.

Placements: In our college, students are selected according to their percentage, which has to be more than 75%. And our college has a link with the government hospital in Kanchipuram; it's helpful for practicing. Apollo and Chettinadu Hospital came for placements. You will definitely get selected in any of the two hospitals.

Review of Meenakshi Ammal Dental College and Hospital, MAHER.

Placements: I have been a dental student here at Meenakshi Ammal Dental College and Hospital for almost 4 years (My final year). We are a class of 90 students. The package given to interns is low, but the patient flow is good as it is situated in one of the main areas of the city.

This college is good for work-driven student.

Placements: Around 80% of students get placed each year. The highest salary package offered is 4.2 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is 2 LPA. The top recruiting companies are Apollo Hospitals, Max, and Meenakshi itself hires the students. Almost 95% of students get internships in Maher, and students are not paid during this. Students can join as junior perfusionists after completing this course, then as per their experience, they will be promoted.

It is a decent and an average college for the fee charges.

Placements: Almost 90% of the students get placed every year. During my admission, all the 100 seats are filled. Placements are not so tough, if you have a decent mark then you can get admitted easily. It has high fee charges but not as high as other competitive colleges.
