Do not go to travancore medical college for PG or MBBS. The management and the system will drain life out of you!

I am in the mood to vent today.I really hope this post will make this college least preferred among private colleges or the management will change for the good.

\*The management is extremely orthodox-moral policing and slut shaming\*

1)UG students have to go back to their hostel by 6pm. No night life.

2)Girls were restricted from wearing jeans in the campus and sitting together with male students in class or around campus draws a lot of unnecessary attention.Moral policing is in the air even for pgs

3)The management is also known to favour muslim students or staff more in case of any conflicts. This is not an exaggeration. Those who have been in such situations will know better.

\*Work culture is really bad for both PGs and interns\*

Interns:

1)Very less hands on clinically and in procedures.

2)Interns are mostly into scut work and are treated like clerks- Run around, write orders(popularly known as evening and morning rounds),complete files, type discharge summaries, get them signed. Interns grow to be the least reliable set of doctors in this system when they pass out from this college. They are invisible to the consultants here

Post graduates:

1)I have gone through so much stress and burn out that I am on basic psychiatric meds to help me survive this phase. Is it because of the workload? No. This is a private college and the workload is considerably low when compared to a government college. This college has a fair share of case load in some of its departments and the exposure is good but the system doesn't favour learning. Hands on is way less in surgical specialties compared to other private colleges in Kerala

PGs are forced to do the actual job of interns including very basic procedures and even scut work to an extent. I have spent my first year being an actual intern-complete files, prepare discharges, run to the wards leaving my food halfway just because the interns are not reliable enough. I still take my phone to the bathroom when I bathe or even poop because not picking up calls even when not on duty can turn into a complaint if the staff desires to

2)Punching rules: The punching time is 8am-8pm unlike so many other colleges that follows NMC punching rules and the timings are mostly 8/9am-5/6 pm. But, this hospital looks for every opportunity to cut stipend amount using their god damn attendance rules. The issue with 8 pm punching is that suppose we are done with our work for the day or it was a lighter day and we want to go out to a friends place or hang around with them in the evening, or even go home at 6 pm after completing evening rounds, it's not possible. PGs are the most overworked population in any teaching hospital and we deserve a break so that we can study or take a break and come back fresh and ready to work and learn the next day.

3)Incidents and complaints to DMS: You will never even be able to guess when something will turn into a complaint against you and reach the management. Pgs are the least supported here. The amount of stress that a lot of us go through just because this power gives a lot of intolerant, egoistic people a weapon in their hands to be used against others is insane.

\*The management is all about money\*

1)Pgs are not given full stipend unlike most of the other private colleges in Kerala. They hold back stipend for petty reasons. There is a history of struggle for even basic amenities like decent food in this college and the stipend amount given now.

2)No cultural or academic events. Nothing! If at all something happens, it's supposed to be over by 6 pm

\*Toxic departments\*

Some of the consultants are known for mental abuse and some departments for physical abuse. I can't talk more about this because it will most probably reveal my identity. The management does nothing for the students and the toxicity still continues

I personally know my batchmates in govt colleges who deal with higher case loads but do not deal with so much stress because the work culture is so much better.

I had to delete my alternate account due to suspicious situations. Today, my post will stay and I hope this helps someone.
