Testimonials
MMMC provides excellent facilities for effective learning. One of the things I find most useful is that we were given hands-on opportunity of learning with real specimens, which in the end contributes to better learning process. Other than that, MMMC lecturers are wonderful. They are very friendly, approachable and they are always keen to explain learning concepts until students fully understand the subjects. I am very grateful to be given this once in a lifetime experience of learning in Manipal. It is surely going to be one of the moments I treasure most.

One does not benefit from well-equipped facilities, experienced and dedicated lecturers in the academia, but also from the nurturing environment the university provided to ensure a holistic growth as healers of tomorrow. So why Manipal? Why not…
