General Shivdev Singh Diwan Gurbachan Singh Khalsa College Patiala B.Sc Medical: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. The total fee for the 3-year B.Sc Medical programme is INR 42,068, paid session-wise across the three years. The figure covers tuition for the full duration, while one-time admission, laboratory and examination charges are billed separately at the start of each session. This makes it one of the most budget-friendly science degrees in the Patiala area, which is a key reason many biology-stream students from nearby districts apply here every year.

Ans. The core subjects are Botany, Zoology and Chemistry, supported by practical laboratory sessions through all three years. Students gain a strong grounding in plant and animal biology, cell processes and basic chemistry. The combination is well suited to those planning postgraduate study in life sciences or entry roles in laboratories, diagnostics and the wider healthcare support sector after graduation. Regular practical work also helps students build the lab discipline that postgraduate science courses expect.

Ans. No entrance exam is required. Admission is purely merit-based on the Class 12 aggregate. Candidates apply online through the college portal, and a merit list is prepared from the qualifying-exam marks. Seats are allotted in order of merit, followed by document verification and fee payment. Students from the medical or biology stream with the required subjects can therefore secure a seat on the strength of their school marks alone.

Ans. Candidates must have passed 10+2 in the medical or biology stream with Physics, Chemistry and Biology as core subjects, and a minimum aggregate of 50 percent. There is no age bar. Final-year board candidates can apply provisionally and submit their result during verification. Selection depends only on Class 12 merit, with no separate competitive test for this programme at the college.

Ans. Graduates can pursue an M.Sc in subjects like Botany, Zoology, Chemistry, Microbiology or Biotechnology, or move into allied-health and laboratory roles. Some opt for B.Ed to enter teaching, while others prepare for competitive and government science posts. The degree also serves as a foundation for diagnostics, pharma support and research-assistant work, giving students several practical paths after three years. With an added professional qualification, graduates can also explore nursing-support, food and environmental testing, and quality-control roles in local industry.

Ans. Yes. Students can apply for the Punjab Post-Matric Scholarship, minority community scholarships and college merit concessions. Government scholarships are processed through state and central portals, while merit concessions depend on the qualifying-exam percentage. Students should keep category and income certificates ready, as these are checked before approval, and confirm the current deadlines with the college office each year.
