How is the life of an MBBS student at KJ Somaiya medical college, Mumbai?

Like two faces of the coin, each and every college have its own positive and negative aspects. Let us look through a few of them in order to find out the student satisfaction.

Positive aspects:

• Curriculum: Academics are taken very seriously here. The curriculum is well designed, portions are always completed on time and professors are always on hand if you need any help.
• Class strength: Entire batch will have only fifty students. So each one of you will get special attention. The student-faculty ratio is amazing. 
• Ragging free campus: So far there are no complaints of ragging on campus. And any complaints regarding the same will be taken seriously. The locality around campus is safe for women in all aspects.
• Location: If you live in Mumbai and wouldn't prefer traveling a long distance or do not wish to stay in a hostel, K J Somaiya is perfect for you. 
• Facilities: College offers you amazing facilities. Libraries are stocked. The hostel is next to the college. The canteen is amazing. The campus even offers you football turf, cricket ground, skating rink, and indoor table tennis hall.
• Private hospital: Being a privately funded hospital patients aren't scarce, but the place isn't overcrowded too. This gives you ample time for your PG preparation and also perfect clinical exposure.

Negative aspects:

• High tuition fee: The fee is extremely high for an infrastructure which they offer. 3/4th of the college is non-air-conditioned. Girls’ hostels are pretty good but boys’ hostels are below average. Compared to other colleges, the needs are not fully met for the price you pay.
• Extracurricular activities: There is not much encouragement from the management for participation in extracurricular activities. Yearly fest namely 'Akarshan' is all that college has to offer to you.
• Strict attendance: Attendance is strictly maintained. If you fail to meet the minimum requirement you may be detained or your grades might be affected.

If the positive aspects from your perspective outweigh the negative ones, then college life is pretty good at KJ Somaiya. If money is not your primary concern and if you prefer Mumbai to study then this is the perfect college for you!
