Student Accounts of MBBS Study and Admission

Aryan Aggarwal, an MBBS student from the 2023 batch, entered through NEET. He chose KMC Mangalore because he considered it the best college available for his marks.

She also praises the MBBS curriculum and the cultural events, clubs and sports that form part of campus life.
