Adding to the list of academic institutions of Mandal is the “CAM Institute of Allied Health Sciences and Technology”, which offers courses that prepare professionals for the diagnosis of various conditions. Allied health professionals aim to prevent, diagnose and treat a range of conditions and illnesses and often work within a multidisciplinary health team to provide the best patient outcomes. With advancements in medicine, the demand for specialized jobs related to Clinical diagnosis has increased, and we extend professional training for such specific skills and expertise.
There have been a host of other courses that prepare professionals in other clinical fields of treatment which were under the purview of L P Patel Institute of Medical Laboratory Technology, but from 2017 onwards are being offered under a separate institute known as “CAM Institute of Allied Health Sciences and Technology”

“Orientation” helps students with the first steps toward academic success. It's essential to cultivate a relationship between students and advisors by focusing on creating intentional time with the faculty.
The goals and objectives of Student Orientation are:
The students interact with the Principal of the college, the Dean of another college, course coordinators, and faculty members of the college on the first day. They are made familiar with the campus, different departments of the college, hostels, activity centre, etc. They are informed about the members of the anti-ragging cells and how to approach the members in case of need. The topics discussed are Allied health science and society, various aspects of professionalism, e.g. time management, team learning, stress management, self-directed learning, discipline, attendance, etc.
The majority of the students have studied in vernacular language up to class xii. A special session is arranged for such students to provide them with tips for English language proficiency. A few sessions to orient the students to work in the village are also organized. Students are informed about the mentorship program and alumni association of the college. Health check-ups, vaccination, and thalassemia screening are done on the last day.
The college has a unique mentorship programme for its undergraduate students. In each year, 10 students are allotted to one mentor teacher who regularly, through mentorship sessions, interacts with the student mentees, where the issues like attendance, academic performance, hostel life on campus, and any other problems faced by the students are discussed, with the aim of providing psychological and moral support.
Students admitted are covered under a suitable scheme for hospitalization by the College.
