MBBS is a great course and who doesn't like to hear 'Doctor, thanks for saving my life'. The best part of MBBS is the exposure and satisfaction it gives. In AMC, the student-teacher ratio is good and is about 1:20 in practical, 1:10 in clinical postings, and 1:100 during lectures. Faculties are well-renowned doctors of society who also share a passion for passing on knowledge to the next generation. Due to such good teachers, exams become very easy to crack, but one definitely has to burn his/her midnight oil to pass through. Pass marks are 50% in each subject theory and practical.
Admission Process is quite easy. For that first one has to write NEET exam after 12th with science stream and Physics, chemistry and biology as subjects. Once he/she gets the desired rank, one has to wait for counselling results. If alloted the college, other formalities like document verification are done and admission is approved. Reservations are there for OBC, ST and SC along with PwD candidates.

Student-Teacher Ratio during lectures is around 125:1 and during practicals and small-group Discussions is about 20:1. Faculty in all medical colleges are well qualified as they themselves are doctors first and then a professor. Most of them have done their MD/MS degree from renowned Medical Institutes of India including AIIMS, JIPMER, PGI etc. The teaching method is a bit monotonous during lectures because most of the professors teach passively using a presentation, but real teaching happens in Laboratories and Clinical Postings where we actually see the purpose of our studies. Term Exams are one of the most dreaded things in most medical colleges as they make really tough to test the real understanding of the students in a particular subject. Passing criteria is 50% marks in both Theory & Practicals.
To get into Andhra Medical College, one has to write a National Level Entrance Exam called NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test).
