If your options include Kakatiya, ESIC Hyderabad, and most deemed universities, I would generally prefer Kakatiya because of its long-standing reputation, excellent patient load, and extremely low government fees. It is a very strong choice for students aiming for NEET-PG/NExT or future specialization. (Nayra Education)
