Good fit
St. John's pairs a NIRF #28 Medical ranking with early hospital exposure and a 95% placement rate into top healthcare chains and public health orgs. The ~₹34.5L total fee is moderate for a private medical college, and the 66-month timeline is standard but intense. If you can crack NEET UG and commit to the long haul, this is a strong launchpad into medicine.
