GMC Kozhikode Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

The academics are well scheduled here. The class strength is of 250 students. There are a lot of faculties to help you with the academics. The HOD of the aubject coordinates the academics of that subject. Internal exams are conducted regularly.

My sister took mbbs which have always strongly influenced me ,along with me having always a thirst for knowledge As a ug student I'm not that well prepared for the outside world in the treatment of patients since it is a delicate field and need more years of experience Usual sem exams alongwith university exams un the final, the exams are moderate to difficult level and need a hardwork to clear

Our batch had a major shift in the curriculum, which is known as CBME or curriculum based medical education. This is introduced with the vision of increasing clinical skills and communication skills. But due to the sudden change it lead to major confusion in our faculties on how to implement this curriculum properly. We faced a lot of difficulties because of that. However many teaching methods like roleplay, drama and group discussions were introduced for the first time, which was effective.It also changed our question paper pattern. Previously, we had 2 hour long examination in university, which is changed to 3 hours now. But with adequate preparation, there is not much difficulty in clearing the exams.

The curriculum is good The curriculum provides more clinical exposure I have no suggestions for improvement of the curriculum Exams are conducted in a gap of 3 months called internals ante University exam at the end of a year

The curriculum has changed just 3 years back so it is relatively new for us..the main part of it is assessing the skills and recording it periodically with the help of logbook certain new changes with regard to curriculum is on the way and will be implemented in the upcoming batches

We were brought into the new CBME curriculum. Even the faculty finds it hard to comply with as it is a new system. There are a lot of small group discussions and self directed learning programmes that consider the teacher as just a facilitator and students are meant to learn with the guidance of the facilitator.

It is very esteemed profession and we have the lives of people in our hands. Curriculum very well prepares us for real world applications if we put effort from our side too. Faculties need to be more student friendly though.

Why MBBS because it has been my dream since of I was kid and I’m glad that I made it this far. Each batch in my college have 250 students and for every 25 students one faculty would be given as mentor, whom we can approach for any of queries. Apart from that practical and clinical postings are really fascinating. We would have year exams as to qualify each year, and a few internal exams every 2-3 months. And these exams I wouldn’t put it too tough that we have to give our 100% of time for only studies but nor too easy. If we put a moderate effort for studies we are soo good to go.

The course curriculum is being conducted as per NMCs rules. The curriculum is more clinically and patient oriented than before, and it has been reflected in the exams as well. Exams are being conducted every 2-3 months

The course curriculum is of 5 years duration.The curriculum is well updated .The exams are conducted yearly.The curriculum is mainly based on the interaction with the patients.so we have a lot of access to real world scenarios
