Placements: There are no placements in medical colleges as such. I mean it's not like engineering colleges where companies come to the campus. It is more of an individual hustle where either you can work as an MO I. e medical officer post MBBS but for that too you have to give an exam. Or you can try for post graduation and apply for residence and ofcourse for that too you have to give an exam.

Infrastructure: Hostel and infrastructure in igmc are quite typical. Sports like volleyball, football and table tennis are available in the hostel. Mess facilities are also good. There is no canteen in the hostel. There are single bedrooms for each individual in the boys hostel whereas girls have double bedrooms as they live in sharing.

Faculty: Yes teachers are very helpful. Every teacher is qualified enough to do his/her job. Teaching quality is also very good. The course is very difficult but who says it is easy to save lives. Examination standards are quite high as they are meant to make you a ready doctor.

Other: Campus is very small since the college is built on hills. So there is no place for campus. But we really enjoy our college life.

It has amazing college life and good placements.

It has been a pleasure being a part of IGMC. I would recommend it to all medical aspirants.

Placements: I am a student of MBBS Class of 2014, currently doing my internship in the same hospital and will be finishing it in December 2019. The interviews for Jobs are yet to be held. Jobs are guaranteed in the interviews based on your preference of location. Salaries vary according to the area one is placed in.

Infrastructure: The lecture halls are good, college, as well as hospital, has Wi-Fi, Library is well stocked with various medical books and journals, but the seating area is less. All the departments have adequate labs and other facilities. The hostel is a little far from the college and hospital and doesn't have any facility other than rooms and mess. The quality of mesa food is below par.

Faculty: The teachers are helpful always. They are well qualified but not all of them know how to convey the things properly. Quality is average at best, a lot of self-study is required. The curriculum is relevant, but in the end, you have to put in the hard work.

Other: I chose the course as it is a noble profession and the best one. I got to see so many things regarding various aspects of the medical field and got to know about various diseases, fields, treatments and all. MBBS should be made a bit more practical, even before the internship. The theory will not get one anywhere in this field. So practical exposure should be more. Our college didn't have many extracurricular activities. We have just one college Fest- Stimulus, where many colleges participate from all over North India. Those 5 days are the best one of the whole year, undoubtedly.
