There are many factors to be analysed before choosing a particular medical college.
Here I will mention the TOP 5 factors to know and verify before joining a medical / dental college.
Before that, you should check whether the college is recognised by NMC/ DCI. Recognition and the number of seats could change any time, so if it is a relatively new college or for safety sake any college in general, it is wise to verify before you join.

Now, let us see those 5 factors
1. GOOD PATIENT FLOW
Reputation of the hospital attached with college, the fees collected for procedures and the accessibility will affect the patient flow. If it is a new college, Verify in person about patient flow, before joining. The more the patients, the better your exposure will be.
2.GOOD ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE HISTORY
The students of the past years and their academic performance, participation in quizzes, conferences, publications and research activity will serve as a measuring gauge for the supportive nature of the college and will give you an idea of how far the college will be your ideal ground.
3.GOOD INFRASTRUCTURE
The presence of well constructed lecture halls, adequately furnished labs and good library with digital access will be another major determining factor.
4.FEES
The fees collected by a particular institution should corelate with the facilities provided by them and should be comparable to the peer institutions providing the same courses.
5.HOSTEL FACILITIES
If you are going to choose hostel, then you should verify the healthy environment of the hostel and fulfillment of basic amenities.
I have summarized the major factors to look out while joining a medical or dental college.
