Campus Life

Here we celebrate many festivals in which all faculties take part and enjoy. On the other hand, students also celebrate various days during the year. The library is very spacious and facilitated and having any kinds of course-related books. The classrooms are auditoriums for 250 students and having equipped with mic speakers and air conditioning facilities.

Course Curriculum Overview

I feel my interest in physiology since 1st year of M.B.B.S. that's why it was easier to me at the same time interesting for me to study. I also like to teach students also. On pg, there are 4 seats as of now and faculties are more (20). The teaching method is the same old method of lectures. Most of the time you have to read and educate yourself.

There is a scholarship where students from economically weaker sections are given fee concessions. There is a merit cum means scholarship which is given to the deserving candidates.

Admission

The admission procedure is not very complicated. For the postgraduate course, it was required to clear the NEET exam with at least 50 percentile and to have an MBBS degree from an approved college. After that, I had to fill an application form and was called for counselling.

For being eligible to get admission in the MD course, I passed the MBBS degree with 50% marks and also qualified NEET PG with valid marks and I filled the application form of the college which was available online and on the basis of my marks in NEET I got selected.

The fee structure for MD course is around 11 lakhs which is a bit higher, but it gives scholarship to the minority students who can not afford it or find it difficult to pay. The exposure and kind of labs and facility we get that make up the amount.

Saikumar's Review On Vallabhbhai Patel Chest Institute - [VPCI], New Delhi

The admission criteria in the college is DUPGMET . Moreover you need to have a degree of MBBS examination and a one year certificate showing that you have completed mandatory rotational internship . There is also a 50% All India quota & 50% quota for the students of Delhi . Except for that you need to at least score 50% marks in NEET examination , 40% for the SC/ST/OBC category.You can apply for the application via online & offline mode. You also need to have full registration with the State medical council/Delhi Medical council/Medical council of India/Dental council of India.The cut off for the course will be decided by the college . I was lucky to have cleared it with a good rank and thus granted admission in the college.

Alumni/Alumna

The seniors are very helpful when it comes to doubt solving part . They always guide us in achieving our goals . We also have a alumni cell in our college which hosts events every year in which the senior batches are invited.We really have a good interaction with our seniors . They tell us about their experiences , how difficult it was to manage at some times and many more things.

University of excellent career

The knowledge level of the faculty in the Vallabhbhai Patel chest institute is just incomparable to any other colleges I have known. Every staff is well versed in their field with high graduation. Their ways of teaching are one which is really inspiring to the students. They also take extra care and concern on the students who need their help in getting through the exams.

The college maintains an alumni network, which runs with a limited number of senior students. The students who wish to join the college are benefitted through this network. Any student who wishes to decide on any matter about the college can also interact with the alumni network. The alumni people also provide the students with more lectures during the college days.

Students aiming for a masters degree post completion of their MBBS one can opt for this course. They need to clear NEET PG examination in order to get the final selection. A little experience in their respective field is given preference.

This course is of total 3 years duration. The students studying in this course are stationed as junior residents or teach their juniors in their respective departments. They have their own examination time to time. It is a hectic course.
