Our college provides good education.

Placements: It is one of the top MBBS colleges in Karnataka. Students coming from north India prefer this college. During internships, students get a stipend of Rs10,000 starting from 2023 which might increase in subsequent years.

Infrastructure: Education provided in this college is top-notch but the infrastructure is not good. The hostel provides shared rooms for students and doesn't provide Wi-Fi. Library closes after 9 PM. Mess food is average. Sports and games are below average.

Faculty: Some of the teachers in our college are very good. Their teaching is very strict and always follows a pattern and expect their students to do the same. Semester exams are held regularly. The average of 2 internals out of 3 should be above 50% to attend university exams.

Review about kempegowda institute.

Placements: There nothing like placements in medical college. You will get internship in the college hospital for an year which will give you quite a good exposure. However internships in private colleges do not provide any stipend. So you will not be paid anything for your service there.

Infrastructure: Overall the college is good in infrastructure too. Wi-Fi is available in library. We have gym library study room. Canteen is not good enough. You can have access to the college for studying till 12 midnight. The staff is cooperative. Hostel is fine with decent food.

Faculty: In this aspect, KIMS is reputed. The faculty is really good. They put in efforts. The exams are held timely to give students chance to prepare again and again for their university exams. The exams are moderate with not very easy questions. So you will easily be able to give university exams.

Other: Many events occur in college like ethnic day, college day, sports day.

Tremendous patient flow.

Placements: There are a total of 150 students, with 30 seats allocated for All India Quota and the remaining for state UG students. An internship is compulsory after the final year for MBBS, BDS, and physiotherapy courses. The college is well-known for its MBBS program and has good infrastructure.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is quite good, consisting of two blocks: Block A and Block B. Block A is designated for ward patients, ICU, and the laboratory (located in the basement), while Block B houses the OPD, special wards, and lecture halls for students, along with the library on the topmost floor.

Faculty: The faculties are good, especially in the first and second years when pre-clinical subjects are taught on the main college campus. In the third and final years, classes take place on the hospital campus. The semester exams can be quite difficult, as our college is affiliated with RGUHS.

I am satisfied with teachers but disappointed with infrastructure and management.

Placements: The thing about this course is we have job assurance even if we just clear the exams. Most of the students are not bothered about placements as soon as their bachelor's courses are done. We get placed in government setup, and we are offered decent salaries. For students who dream of becoming more, they can pursue higher education.

Infrastructure: We have a very good library and decent laboratories. The hostel is average, and classrooms and washrooms are also very poor. We don't have a playground, and there are no facilities to improve in extracurricular activities. We don't have a lounge room for resting which is very annoying.

Faculty: Teachers are very good. Some are exceptional, and others are not the best. The curriculum offered is as per RGUHS, which is a standard for medical education. The medical course is not easy, and the pass percentage is very less year after year because of the toughness of the exams and strict evaluation.

Other: MBBS was always my dream, and I felt I could not have chosen any other course. The best thing about this course is you can learn a lot of things practically, and there is a human interaction, which is always special. Events and fests are not organised in our college, which makes me feel disappointed, and there are no extracurricular activities as well.

It is a good college for study purpose, but it is not worth the fee paid.

Placements: The college offers good jobs. Most of the students clear NEET PG easily to get admission in good government colleges. College doesn't provide any salary to the interns. Outpatient department hospital is high, but the value of work is least. After graduating from this college, one can call oneself a true doctor in the sense of knowledge, study and work.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is not that good. It has an old building with good classrooms and laboratories. It provides new and high quality of equipment for students. Food served in the mess is hygienic, but it is tasteless. The hostel provides facilities like washing machine, common washrooms and mess.

Faculty: New curriculum provided by MCI is bad, and it caused a lot of pressure on us for passing exams. The pattern is very difficult. Teachers in our college are highly qualified, but they are too strict. Most of the students are afraid of teachers. The new curriculum is too hectic for everyone.

Other: I have chosen this course because I wanted to become a doctor. It is the best course according to me, and it helps to serve human beings. The college should reduce the time duration of the course, and the number of subjects should also be reduced. Medical fests organised by the college are interesting. The main problem is the least breaks, even during college events.

Overall a good college with more than satisfactory placements.

Placements: The placements are good. Based on your NEET ranking, the college fees of the students is determined. 150 candidates are there in one batch.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is really good with a nice campus. There is a big library and many classrooms. All the facilities are available on the campus. Hostel facilities are decent. In every classroom, there is proper air conditioning and projectors.

Faculty: Faculty consists of very well experienced teachers and staff. Teachers are really helpful and the quality of teaching is good. Teaching is done through PPT and chalkboard methods.

Other: Events are divided into sets, cultural events and sports events which happen every year.
