My Review

Faculty

They had clinical knowledge. They train with history taking and examination skills. Cooperative. Some of them. But the only drawback is the resident had to do all work. Difficult to get work done. Some Staff is not well trained. So the burden come on resident first year.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Expensive. Every year you have to pay 7. 5 lakhs. Demand draft in name of baba Farid University initially. And they can also deduct from bank. your some charges of 40, 000 which I don't know why I have to University.

Fees and Financial Aid

Generally, students from my batch preferred to take the loans which were available from the private sectors as well as public sectors. Also, the state and government banks provided loans based on the student's profile and general income documents of the parents, and also there were facilities for reserved students.

In our leisure time, we did exercise and other physical activities to maintain our health. Also, we used to do projects on urea cycle disorder, spinal cord research, and other relevant to enhance our knowledge. Apart from it, we had several annual parties and campus programs to take a break from the curriculum.

A good exposure

It was a diverse college with students coming from different backgrounds and had equal number of boys and girls at the campus. We had big playgrounds where we could play the sports and all the equipment were present at the facilities provided. We had various extra co-curricular activity clubs including music, dance, art.

Since this was a government College, we could apply to the college?s hospital where we had to clear an interview round along with an entrance examination. Various other government colleges came to interview like Maulana Azad, AIIMS. Almost all the doctors got placed with an average package of Rs.20 lacks per annum.

M.D in General Medicine [M.D]

Here at the ESIC Medical College and PGIMSR, we had some academic-based activities where students can enjoy during their short leisure time. However, students were more focused on the curriculum so they were not much engaged in extracurricular activities. I observed almost a similar gender ratio at the campus.

A broad view was of the students who were doing this particular program as there were great opportunities but based on the students' academic profile and skills. There were mandatory internship periods for every to successfully graduate and get a bachelor's degree from this university.
