“I have always been interested in this course since the 10th class. The faculty is excellent, and the batch has 250 students. We have three departments in the 1st year: anatomy, physiology and biochemistry. Each department has 10-12 teachers, non-teaching staff and 5 PGs to help us. The teachers are highly qualified and follow the curriculum. The semesters are every 3/4 months, and the papers are moderate.”
