Parents' wishes were a driving factor in my choice of stream. The faculty-student ratio is poor in some government colleges but it's respectable in most privately owned colleges. There are 3 semesters in a session along with a lot of internal assessments in the new regulations that you have to pass along with keeping a 75% attendance in all the subjects ( theory and practical both). Tests are somewhat difficult if you aren't thoroughly prepared for it. Most tend to fail anatomy in the first semester. Then there will be a professional exam at the end of the session that will determine promotion to next year.
