What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0002208) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 110 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 3.7★ — read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for India yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

Greeshma Sreeragam

Quite expensive but convenient.. I had both good as well as bad personal experience here. Some of the staff are not patient friendly and some are lazy.. Treatment differs as per the nature of the doctor u consult.. Not a smoothly functioning private hospital.. But everyday the hospital is full of patients.

Jobin Antony

Death rate here is 99% for covid treatment. Please avoid entering this hospital. Very poor hospitality. This hospital is only for collecting money from poor peoples. After collecting money they kill peoples by delaying treatment. Need a Warning sign board infront of the hospital not to enter.

vincent P

It is a medical College of CSI.which is located in Kerala.Many people are treating here for various diseases . Recently I had my treatment at this for breaking of radius nerve in my left hand wrist. I am getting cure.,So we can visit and get treatment here. Nearly 600 patients get treatment.
