Fellowship in Mental Health/Psychiatric Rehabilitation - Batch of 2017

4Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

My fellowship programme was from the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences.

Placements: At this college, 60-70% of the students get placed in our fellowship programme. Various national and multinational companies visit the campus for placements. The average package offered at this college was between 4-9 LPA. Top roles offered were clinical researchers, advisors, associates, etc.

Infrastructure: Our college had very good infrastructure and top-notch facilities for our course. In our course, students were getting all the necessary facilities. Labs, library, canteen, Wi-Fi, halls, research labs, hostel, sports, and all other necessary facilities were given to students here in this college.

Faculty: The faculty of the College was one of the best for this course. All the professors were highly qualified and knowledgeable. They supported each and every student. The course curriculum was designed according to the needs of the industry, which makes students job-ready. Semester exams were not very hard to pass at this college.

5Placements5Infrastructure4Faculty2Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

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.
