Kasturba Medical College, Manipal

It starts as a post entrance exam choice, which once made, ingrains itself as a deeply rooted emotion. Manipal is so much more than just a giant educational hub, it's a hilltop millennial civilization Infrastructure and Education: Look through any ranking chart and Manipal always falls amongst the elite. College infrastructure is top class with adequately equipped labs, state-of-the-art lecture halls and libraries, a well-esteemed faculty panel for every department and overall excellence. MArena, a multi-level sports complex offers a world class means of recreation and fitness. The only downside being a hefty fee, which in my opinion is justified given the facilities provided by the University. Moreover, Manipal offers some of the best research prospects in the country. College Life: Manipal is the land of opportunity that your talents beckon. What makes Manipal stand out is the diversity of crowd it attracts. You're sure to stumble on like-minded people and make great friends with. The town also offers a lot to keep your taste buds intrigued. Travel fanatic? Manipal got you covered! With a plethora of travel destinations around, there's a lot to explore with your freedom. College shapes you as a person and the town is unparalleled in this regard. Hostel Life: First things first, there are no traces of ragging whatsoever. You're as safe as you would be back home. Speaking of hostels, there is a choice between exclusively single roomed, air-conditioned and double/single non-AC boys hostel. A similar choice is available for girls hostel as well. Wi-Fi connectivity and round the clock power backup make the living experience a comfortable one. Each hostel has a distinct culture of its own. The environment is healthy and fun. Hostels are properly maintained with emphasis on hygiene. Finally, some shortcomings: 1 — The hefty fee that hikes year after year is the only factor that might serve as a dealbreaker. 2 — Being situated in Karnataka, the language might pose a problem especially those who wish to pursue medicine. Learning Kannada is a must for the aforementioned group. 3 — There are 3 reported seasons in Manipal: summer, more summer and most rains. All this summer may be erratic but its monsoon that makes this place all the more special. 4 — Staying away from family. Choosing a college is a pivotal life decision. Manipal won't make you regret it one bit.

Its been an amazing experience. The teaching is outstanding. The exposure and patient interaction is really helpful. The staff is cooperative . Just a little problems with mess food. There are students from all over india as well as international ones so you get to make an amazing friends circle. Its a really safe place . You can roam around alone without the fear of any untoward happening. You learn how to lead an independent life at the same time there are people who have your back always. Just distance is a slight problem for studens from far off considering the vacations are not that often

KMC manipal boasts of amazing labs, a huge fully air-conditioned library and great classrooms. The hospital associated admits a diverse range of patients and so students can easily get hands-on experience in dealing with some of the rarest case scenarios. Frequent seminars and presentations conducted are sure to help a student later on. Student Research is also given due importance and to help matters there is a great Medical records division. Personally I gained a lot from my time in Manipal especially in the research field. However I would have liked it if pre-pg preparation had been stressed upon by the professors. Lack of guidance in that field coupled with a costly fee structure are the only drawbacks of reading in KMC that I can think of. Hostel rooms are great and life there can be great too provided one can adequately manage peer pressure which I would say is quite high here especially with regards to fashion consciousness and partying. It might be difficult for students hailing from conservative middle class families to adjust to the dizzy rounds of college fests, loud concerts and late night parties that most Manipalites love. But if one concentrates on studies and finds a few like-minded pals then life can indeed be good.

The college treats you like An adult and does not interfere in your personal life. The staff is genuinely concerned about your education & try to give their best. The only major problem is one that is faced in every college esp. With a hostel in this country - Sexism. This can only improve if the mentality of the country changes.
