Tuition Fees 

It is advised to choose a college which has minimum fees with all the facilities available. The cost of tuition fees for medical colleges can range from Rs 1360 per year to Rs 50 lakhs per year, depending on the type of medical college and chosen quota.

The cost of attending a government college varies by state, and in some states, like Uttar Pradesh, the cost varies per college. In order to choose the top institutions, a candidate should evaluate colleges according to their tuition costs and then consider other factors like location, patient flow, facilities, etc.

Age of the College

During All India Counselling, a lot of parents base their rankings of institutions in different states on the age of the medical college. This has a significant impact on how well-regarded private medical schools are as well. When it comes to private medical colleges, one must ensure that there is no debarment history.

When it comes to medical colleges affiliated with recognized universities, you should look at the college's founding year rather than the university's. It goes without saying that presumed university status would only be granted upon the achievement of academic excellence, which requires a minimum of 25 years.

Number of Seats

To evaluate the caliber of a medical college, one can also look at the total number of seats available in the PG section. The National Medical Commission (NMC) has regulations that outline the facilities, faculties, and resident doctors according to the available seats. The best medical colleges with excellent facilities and infrastructure can be defined as those with 100 medical PG seats. More than 1200 beds and more than 2000 patients would be present at these medical colleges each day.

Other Campus Facilities

Students must make sure they research accommodation options as well as on-campus eating, recreation, libraries, and wellness facilities. Students must also look for accommodation facilities at the campus. Most colleges generally don't provide hostel facilities for the students which creates havoc after the student has paid the fees of the respective college. 

Along with accommodation facilities, additional campus amenities might have an impact on students' decisions to apply to a certain college. These additional facilities include hospitals, training institutions, transit hubs, etc.

College Location 

Students typically want to pursue higher education in their hometown. Some students find it extremely worrisome to move away from their hometown for the first time because they grew up there and spent their entire life there; as a result, they looked for a college within daily driving distance.

But it is suggested to choose a college that is best in all prospects. If the college is near to your hometown, it's an advantage rather students must think of choosing a college that is better in other aspects also such as a solid academic and professional career.
