What Students Say
Likes
- College has an amazing library where you can sit and study till 9 at night. Postings are held everyday for six days a week and there is a good patient load
- Regular weekly internal assessments are conducted. This makes sure that the topics studied well and if you get less than 50 percent in any exam, then they will ruin your life, and due to that frustration you will study.
- The college is more like a strict school rather than a college. Attendance percentage needed is 80 percent and if you have less, they wont let you sit for university exams. If holiday has been given on a random day, extra classes are given.
Dislikes
- Hostel rules are pathetic. Both for boys and girls. I am in girls hostel so i will speak on its behalf. You can not come and stay in your room in between classes, if you want to or if you are sick. You can not leave the campus for anything at anytime
- General atmosphere is very back dated. Boys and girls should never be seen talking. If some staff sees you, they will click picture and send it to the authorities and they will suspend you from college!
- How the director or the management treats us is pathetic. They will act as if we dont matter and will speak to us in fowl language and with the least amount of respect. Not only to us, but also to our parents! It is really tragic.
Course Curriculum Overview
mbbs has always been my dream job, my dad is a doctor and I like how people respect him, and consider him in society so basically i never had an option other than mbbs in my life. The curriculum hopefully prepares me well for the real world. They do have skills lab classes where they teach resuscitation or suturing which is helpful in the real life, so hopefully it works out at the end.
Fees and Financial Aid
Yeah, so as you already know, mbbs is all the games of money so yeah it's true. For me (2020 batch) (keep in mind this is not for NRI, they have to pay 30 percent more) Tuition fee per year for 5yrs- 1600000 Hostel fees at present - 170000 ( changes every year, adds up to around 10 percent increment each year) Black money - 200000 per year for 5 years (Which is useless but we can't complain against the management else they will fail us)
Campus Life
Events taking place in this college is comparatively lesser than the other colleges. We do not have any inter-college events such as culterals or sports events which is sad, keeping in account that our conversation with the other colleges is minimal. Students council is formed every year that manages various events such as freshers and farewell or intra college culturals and sports events. The studnent council is formed by the third year students on the basis of votes
Hostel Facilities
Hostel according to me deserves a one-star. The rooms are small enough to accommodate only one person, however, two need to stay in one room. There is no AC availability here. If you need AC you have to pay 75,000 extra per year for it which is completely absurd Hostel mess food is also not that great. There has been hair and insects everywhere in the food time and again and we have complained about it multiple times, but no action has been taken. So in my opinion, paying 200000 for this hostel is not at all worth it. Better get an apartment outside the college
Admission
Eligibility is through neet examination. A person needs to appear neet, qualify it, apply for CENTAC (Pondicherry University website for MBBS), and then according to the marks, will be allotted a seat in any of the medical colleges that come under Pondicherry University. Time taken is usually more than the other states, I was in the COVID-19 batch, and they took around 3 months to finish their counseling and provide me with a college.
Faculty
Faculty to student ratio is good. It's enough for every student. The students each is provided with a mentor who would guide them in that academic year. One mentor (professor) handles around 10 students each, checks their attendance, keeps a note on their marks and code of conduct in the college. Teachers are also approachable, most of them are. If you have a doubt in a perticular topic, they will explain you, in their free times, extra classes are taken for the weak, or below average students to help in improve their grades.
