Kottayam Medical college: review

The campus facilities have to be improved with a subsidised canteen fees and more spacious library and a better ATM machine, the college bus should also cover the non hostel students. The parking lot should also be improved.

The course curriculum is a very tight and hectic one with strict attendance and both theory and practicals. The exam structure is based on the format by the Kerala university of health services. The exams are conducted at the end of each year, will sessional exams after each semester.

It is very difficult to get a placement at the college, the doctors have to be very competent and skilled, Yes internship is provided for various courses based on the meet rank list for postgraduates. The experience is really good and the experience we get is unmatched witha lot of patients and cases. The stipend is around 45000

All major events in the medical field including the various awareness days such as Alzheimer's, leprosy, smoking etc are celebrated. The festivals such as Onam, pooja, dussera, Christmas, Eid etc are also celebrated

Feasible fee structure with 23000 per semester is the required fees. Initially a sum of 10000 rs is given for pta funds and other needs, also batch funds of around 1000 is collected each year, overall it is feasible and not very tormenting

Apj Abdul kalam scholarship is given each year to the eligible students, also each student with low family income is given a lot of benefits including hostel fee reductions, fee scholarship and many more, moreover exams are conducted for various scholarship s every year

All most all the extra curricular activities are available including playgrounds for a variety of sports, cultural festivals art festivals, tournaments, concerts, live shows, awareness programs etc. A variety of labs for each department is also available that are not only well equipped but also spacious.

All the seniors are helping and caring, though initially a bit of ragging was present, the alumini network is Very strong and a good communication between the parents and students are seen. The seniors usually guide us during our exams and is of great help.

By attending the counseling after the merit list was published, the seats were alloted according to our ranks and each studen was provided the documents for checking in to the college, the required forms were collected and the classes were told to begin the next week itself

The faculty is really good and earnest in their jobs, with working hours from 8 in the morning to 4 in the evening, Most doctors are punctual and moderately strict with lots of experience and skills in their respective departments.
