Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara University

Once a student, forever part of the family

University alumni are an invaluable asset to any institution. These former students have successfully completed their academic journeys and gone on to make significant contributions to various fields, serving as a testament to the quality of education provided by their alma mater. Alumni play a crucial role in fostering a sense of community and pride within the university, as they often remain connected to their alma mater long after graduation. They serve as mentors, offering guidance and support to current students, and also participate in various networking events, career fairs, and alumni reunions. Furthermore, university alumni often become ambassadors for their alma mater, spreading the word about the institution's achievements and successes, thereby enhancing its reputation and attracting prospective students.

Join the club, stay connected, be proud

The benefits of a strong alumni network extend beyond the university itself. Alumni often form professional connections among themselves, leading to opportunities for collaboration, job referrals, and mentorship. They may establish alumni chapters or associations in different cities, creating a network of professionals who share a common background and a desire to give back to their alma mater. Additionally, universities often rely on the support of their alumni through philanthropic contributions, which help fund scholarships, research initiatives, and infrastructure development. The bond between a university and its alumni is symbiotic, as the success of alumni reflects positively on the institution, while the university's growth and achievements provide further recognition and opportunities for its alumni.

Our Students, Our Pride

The voice of our proud students

Reflecting on my transformative journey from an eager medical student at SDM Medical College to a Neurologist, I am filled with immense gratitude and pride. Between 2004 and 2010, SDM Medical College was not just an educational institute for me; it was a launching pad for my dreams and aspirations in the field of neurology. The academic environment at SDM was invigorating, blending rigorous coursework with inspiring mentorship. The faculty, passionate and knowledgeable, were instrumental in igniting my interest in neurology, guiding me through complex concepts and encouraging me to learn. The clinical training, a bedrock of the SDM experience, was exceptional. It provided a real-world canvas to apply classroom theories, allowing me to witness the profound impact of medical care on patients' lives.

But SDM was more than its academics. The campus life was a tapestry of cultural richness and intellectual diversity. It was here that I balanced the intensity of medical studies with my passion for music, finding solace in the strings of my guitar. This harmonious blend of learning and leisure cultivated a wholesome educational experience. The friendships and connections I made at SDM, both with peers and mentors, have been a constant source of strength and inspiration in my professional journey.

In retrospect, SDM Medical College was a crucible where my passion for medicine was nurtured and my career path in neurology and stroke medicine was cemented. It's a place I enthusiastically recommend to future medical aspirants, a place where dreams are nurtured, and futures are forged.

I am Dr Indrani, currently working as professor of Pathology at MVJ medical College and research Hospital, Bangalore. I am a proud alumni of SDMCMSH, dharwad. I finished my post graduation in Pathology from this illustrious institute in 2014. The sheer number and variety of cases I hv seen in SDM is amazing. The staff in my department were exceptionally knowledgeable and always enthusiastic to guide us in our training. All this instilled in me the confidence to practice as an independent pathologist, immediately post PG, which is quite challenging. Besides academics the overall atmosphere at SDM is really divine. The Monday morning prayer meetings used to be an absolute bliss. Dasara celebrations and the annual fest are unforgettable. Things which struck me the most during my SDM days and the things I will carry with me always in my life are simplicity, discipline and being future ready. I definitely cherish and miss being a part of such a prestigious institution.
