Life of a medico in TMC

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is vast and it relies more on theoretical knowledge than practical knowledge. The course should be improved enough to provide a better learning atmosphere to students. Exams occur every 2 months and is quite difficult

Great for academics

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course is a pretty hard one i must say but the feeling of putting on a white coat and looking after patients is surreal and that's the main essence of the job. The curriculum is very vast but each subject is important in its own way. The exams are all conducted in such a way that there's enough time for us to prepare .

SMCSI- A complete review from a budding doctor

Placement Experience:

Placements are not available in the college. After mandatory HS, we are free to find jobs. Many passed out students remain in the college as tutors while preparing for their PG entrances. Some also teach nursing and/or paramedical students. As an MBBS degree is not enough to get a job, everyone plans on joining for PG courses. MBBS degree will only get us as far as a casualty doctor or medical officer in a PMC.

About my college life

I took this college just because I got admission in this college According to the neet rank of mine. I didn't get any rejection. I got my first admission here itself so I came and took admission here itself. Here students are being allotted by their neet UG exam marks and rankings. The only exam accepted here is neet UG. For pg neet pg exams are considered. For my year students around 10000-11000 ranks in Kerala were eligible in this college with around 450-550 marks in their neet UG examinations. comparing to other colleges the infrastructure is really poor. And the dedication of the teachers for making theory students study is more seen in other colleges. They are not interested in letting students for doing extra curricular activities. The students too need some sounght of fun amidst their stressful lives. And the management is so much interested in finding out what mistakes we do rather than thinking more about how to make their students benefit from their life in this college....Read More
