Well, if you came only for study, it is good.

Placements: In our college, students are selected according to their percentage, which has to be more than 75%. And our college has a link with the government hospital in Kanchipuram; it's helpful for practicing. Apollo and Chettinadu Hospital came for placements. You will definitely get selected in any of the two hospitals.

Review of Meenakshi Ammal Dental College and Hospital, MAHER.

This college is good for work-driven student.

Placements: Around 80% of students get placed each year. The highest salary package offered is 4.2 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is 2 LPA. The top recruiting companies are Apollo Hospitals, Max, and Meenakshi itself hires the students. Almost 95% of students get internships in Maher, and students are not paid during this. Students can join as junior perfusionists after completing this course, then as per their experience, they will be promoted.

It is a decent and an average college for the fee charges.

Placements: Almost 90% of the students get placed every year. During my admission, all the 100 seats are filled. Placements are not so tough, if you have a decent mark then you can get admitted easily. It has high fee charges but not as high as other competitive colleges.

The college needs to improve everything, and there is no proper canteen even.

Placements: 30% of students got placed in my course. The highest salary offered was 15,000 per month, and the lowest salary was 8,500 per month. Amazon Pay, Zealous, KNV Capital, etc., come here. No internships are provided by the college. There are no good placements in our college. Every offer was from BPO. The college needs to improve everything.
