Location:
KJ Somaiya Medical College & Research Centre is located off the Eastern Express Highway between Sion (C.Rly.) and Chunabhatti (Harbour Rly.) and can be reached from both the stations, but the location is isolated and ricks are difficult to find. A number buses from all parts of the city can drop you near the college as well.
Rank:
Generally the second preference among private colleges after Terna Medical college. But many consider both the colleges at par and you can opt for it if you find travelling to Terna (Nerul) difficult.
Intake:
MBBS: 50
BPTh: 30
Infrastructure:
The College and hospital are located in a H-shaped building in Sion, Mumbai The College houses the Pre - and para clinical departments with their laboratories, library, Lecture halls, seminar rooms and Animal House.
The Hospital has outpatient in-patient, casualty and laboratory services. It has 700 beds for the in-patients who are looked after free and are also given free food. There are 5 major Operation theatres, a minor operation theatre, Radio diagnosis department, Physiotherapy and Pharmacy. The casualty offers 24 hours service. There is a Urban Family Welfare Centre and 5 rural health centres. A 48 bedded rural health centre at Nareshwadi is also attached to the College. There is a canteen, facilities for indoor and outdoor games for the students. But one can say that it isn’t that good and there’s a lot of scope for improvement.
Fees:
MBBS : Rs. 4,99,000
BPTh : Rs. 57,000
Faculty:
Faculty is good in all departments and especially good in Biochemistry. The physiology department is one exception though where the faculty sucks.
Hospitals Affiliated:
KJ Somaiya Hospital. The number patients found here is not as much as the government hospitals but it is enough to gain the necessary amount of practical experience.
Crowd:
The crowd is good compared to medical college standards and forms the best part of the college.
Canteen:
Average canteen. Edible and cheap food but not much variety available.
Hangouts:
Absolutely nothing anywhere close to the college.
Attendance:
75% for lectures
80% for practicals
As strict as in other medical colleges.
Festivals:
Aakarshan is the cultural festival held around the first week of March
There is also a sports festival which is held in the last week of February
