how is mandya inst of medical science? which is better mandya or kmc manglore?
Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences (MIMS) established in the year 2005, is a well-reputed and Autonomous Medical College set up by the Government of Karnataka. The institute is affiliated to the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS). Ii is also approved by the Medical Council of India. It's absolutely a great choice for MBBS as fees structure is quite less here than that of KMC. But KMC is much older and well reputed institution in that region. In NIRF ranking it has ranked 21 in among all india Medical Institutions. So in that term it's one of the best in India. In term of Academics, infrastructure and all this Institute is somehow better than Mandya Institute of Medical Science. Now it's completely depend upon your preference.
Hope it would be helpful.
