Students should review their programme’s curriculum and confirm any practical or fieldwork requirements individually. The career-guidance and placement cell provides training and recruitment activities; participation does not guarantee employment, a salary or a clinical practice entitlement.

The current prospectus describes limited hostel accommodation and asks for a separate requisition with the application. Hostel admission and availability are separate from a college place. Confirm the applicable accommodation terms, charges, meal arrangements and eligibility directly before relying on residence availability.

Confirm the actual hostel or canteen menu, timings, allergy needs and any individual dietary arrangement before making accommodation plans; no specialist diet is guaranteed here.

The current prospectus lists CCTV, a dispensary, purified water and student-conduct requirements. The college describes anti-ragging and complaint mechanisms and a counselling centre.

Confirm programme-specific accessibility arrangements and the current process for requesting assistance.
