A look at numbers can give you an idea as to how big this field is for an Indian student and their family.

    Which college you must select is stage 2 of this competition. And there is no end to discussions, research, and information gathering till the student has finally paid the fees and secured the seat at the college of their choice. Sometimes, there are midterm college switches too that happen, but that is a discussion for another day.

    Let us today understand how the top medical colleges across India, where lakhs of students aspire to have ‘Dr’ as a prefix to their name fare when they are ranked by the NIRF.
