Great infrastructure, great placements, hardly any sports events or cultural programmes.
Placements: My batch consisted of 24 students but there are 85 seats, so don't worry. Most of the students who passed out has got placements, many are working abroad and in prestigious institutes like AIIMS. Passed out students are more preferred to work in NIMHANS (I had heard from my seniors )and it's a rank booster. Most of our seniors got job in neuro icu and hospitals.
Infrastructure: Great infrastructure. Good food (it's hostel food? ). Overall great facilities. Sports and game events are less to None (maybe once in a? ), but there are lots of events on health related days, awareness programmes, world earth day etc. Boys hostel has more than one mess but not for girls hostel. Canteen is good.
Faculty: Well qualified faculty. You need 50% to pass in your exams. You will become tough towards the end of your course. There are sessional exams (3 of them), their average is taken for internal assessment. There's only one annual exam. Not semester wise. The final exam is on tablet, that's digital exam. You don't have to take anything to your exam Hall.
Other: Barely any extracurricular activities. Mostly piling up of assignments.
