Location:
It takes about 5 mins by rick from Khandeshwar Railway station (Harbour Rly), though you may have to spend an enormous amount of time reaching the station. You may have never noticed it, but it is located right opposite the McDonalds where you stop to have your morning snacks when you go to Lonavala or Pune, i.e., where the expressway starts.
Intake:
MBBS: 100
BDS : 100
BPTh: 30
BSc Nursing:30 (Proposed to increase to 50)
Infrastructure:
Very good infrastructure. Meets the standards of a private college. A clean campus, good classrooms well equipped labs and enough projectors make for interesting classes.
Fees:
MBBS : Rs. 3,75,000/year
BDS : Rs. 1,50,000/year
BPTh : Rs. 46,000/year
Bsc. Nursing : Rs. 75,000/year
Faculty:
Most of the teachers are good. Out of the others, some are average while some are really bad. However, all of them are very helpful. In the 1st year the best department is biochemistry and physiotherapy. Anatomy is average. In the 2nd year micro, pharmac faculty are good. 3rd year psm teachers are very good. So on an average, one can say that the faculty is good for one or two subjects.
Hospitals Affiliated:
Clinical experience is provided at MGM group of hospitals at Kamothe, Vashi, Kalamboli, CBD Belapur and NMMC Hospital Vashi.
Community health experience is provided at Nere village, UPH, at CBD Belapur and Turbhe.
Psychiatric experience will be provided in LTMG Hospital, Sion and Maharashtra Institute of Mental Health, Sasoon Hospital, Pune.
Postgrad Studies:
This is the problematic area. Students of this college cannot give the Maharshtra PG exam and thus reducing your options drastically. But, you can still give the all India entrance test and all your options for studying abroad are open.
Crowd:
Nothing special about the crowd as such. It’s the usual crowd found at most of the colleges. All sorts of people can be found here. Just get into a group where you feel the most comfortable, be it bookish, irresponsible or a combination of both.
Attendance:
Very lenient. 75% attendance is recommended and expected but they let you go off with a 50% (But letters are sent to your parents so you may face problems at home). However, if the attendance goes below the 50% mark, you are made to sit for extra cover lectures.
Canteen:
The canteen is just about average. Food is tasty but due to cleanliness issues you wouldn't feel like having it. The mess food, however, is best not sampled.
Hangouts:
McDonalds, Little world - Kharghar are pretty close. Malls, restaurants, hookah bars and clubs can be found in Kharghar. If you are looking for more options, a variety can be found if you travel to Vashi (which is not very close from here) or Belapur.
Festivals:
Ex-tasy, which is usually celebrated around March and primarily organized by the second years is real fun. All the major events such as band performances, games, contests, prizes, DJ nights can be enjoyed.

Verdict:
The biggest disadvantage of the college for Mumbaikars is that it is very, very far. The first year out here is tough-they keep you on your toes but you learn quite a bit. The second year is more relaxed and this is the time to have fun. The third year clinics, teaching and practical work is very interesting and the faculty is fabulous. I would say 3-3.5/5. The four and a half years become both fun and interesting, relaxed and challenging. Go for it if you don't mind traveling, you wont regret it.
