It has value for money and is useful to gain knowledge.

Placements: More than 80% of students are placed in our college. Seats are according on a merit basis, so all the courses are based on government infrastructure. Many pharmaceutical companies come for recruiting. Many students get placed in Apollo hospitals but they give a minimum salary starting.

Infrastructure: Our college has Wi-Fi facilities, labs, classrooms, and better and big surrounding. The library is good we have the second top library in Tamilnadu. Hostel facilities are bad because the foods are not so tasty, it is an average hostel.

Faculty: All the teachers are professional, but some of them are careless, though many of them are good. We can gain knowledge for whole 6 years thus it's useful and also at Raja Muthaiah medical college and hospital. It's a professional course so we want 50% marks and it is similar to the medical course brake system. If we failed more than two subjects then we have to study that year again.

Other: We can gain good knowledge in this college. The fee is worthy and the scholarship is good.
