• For medical colleges, “placements” in the traditional sense (job offers) are not as prominently available as in engineering/commerce colleges; but the value lies in strong clinical exposure, internships, and ability to secure PG seats. GSMCH offers substantial clinical infrastructure.

8. Strengths & Considerations

Strengths:

• Government-run → lower fees, more accessible for many applicants.

• Good number of PG specialisations offered, which helps MBBS graduates looking for PG within the same institution.

• Solid infrastructure and hospital attached → good for clinical training.

• Located in Tamil Nadu where medical education infrastructure is relatively strong.

Considerations:

• Being a newer institution (est. 2012) compared to very old medical colleges, alumni network may be smaller.

• Cut-offs are competitive (as shown) especially for popular specialities and general category.

• Verify hostel/accommodation, local living costs, access from home town if relocating.

• If you aim for certain specialisations, check exactly how many seats are available and competition in those.
