Reviews

1. Reviewer: Joel George, August 2022

Every month end we have internal exams. I choose this course because I have dreamed of being a doctor since childhood. For 150 students, there are almost 25 faculties in the second-year department alone. Every year, there are nearly 25 faculties for three subjects. They are teaching compassionately. The faculties are from top hospitals like AIIMS and JIPMER. The exams are easy if we study well.

2. Reviewer: Durai, August 2022

Understudies must attend and finish the NEET-UG test for clinical understudies. After the declaration of NEET results, understudies are required to apply for Counseling in their separate states. As per the positioning of their different imprints, they can easily apportion a seat in their favored institution.

3. Reviewer: Riyaz, batch 2018

The intern has to do a one-year internship at the respective hospital to get their doctor’s license. They only get 12 days of vacation a year, most of that year. All departments must adhere to their posting—for example, anesthesia, ICU, and orthopedic.
