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.
You have to appear for NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) and have decent marks to take admission in any government college. The cut-off varies year to year but 570 is generally regarded as a very good score. You can find the application from the NEET website itself, and apply from there to appear for the exam. There are reservations and people holding SC/ST and OBC caste certificates can benefit from lower cut-off marks and lower admission or session fees. The process is pretty straightforward and I don't feel any necessary improvement is needed to the admission process.
