The verdict
Strong fit
If you want a government-backed MD Pediatrics seat with rock-bottom fees (₹1.5L total), solid placement traction (92%), and Kerala's strong clinical exposure, this is a steal. The 12-seat intake means cut-throat competition, but the ROI is unmatched for a public-sector pediatric residency.
