Arathy Gs's Review On Government Medical College Paripally - [GMC], Kollam

Course structure of the college is well managed. We have more emphasis on theory and practical, divided in three level, pre clinical, para clinical and clinical, it is the first step in medical career. It's a 4½ year course with this we also has 1 year of compulsory training. Labs sessions are very helpful in understanding the subject and concepts well. Examinations are held as per scheduled and they are both practicals and written papers.

College has good placement record. Students get selected for government hospital. Students also opt for higher education since for more scope higher degree and specialization is needed. We have a compulsory 1 year internship which helps us to bring in practice what we learnt in these years.

Course fee for MBBS degree is feasible and is less compared with private colleges. The fee for first year MBBS course for all India quota is 35000 rupees. Transportation, hostel and other facilities are also available and is charged as used. The fee is set by government. We have to pay part amount during time of admission. For subsequent years the fee is different.

Our college hosts many extra curricular activities for students to show and develop their skills. We have cultural events, sports championship, workshops, seminars, and symposium are also organised. We have good practical labs which are equipped with all modern equipments.

Our college has hostel facilities available in our college, for both boys and girls. There are separate hostels for boys and girls. The hostel charge per month is 3500. We have good infrastructure and have all amenities in it, with good hygienic food.

Admission is given based on entrance examination. I am doing my MBBS course from this college. I got admission in this college through NEET entrance examination. After clearing NEET, I applied with my score in counseling, and got admission in this college by my score. We must have studied Physics, Chemistry and biology in 12th and must have completed 17 years of age.

Our faculty are well educated, they have experience of teaching from years. They all have good educational background. We have both teaching and non teaching staff which is helpful for us. They are very supportive to us, our faculty help us in guiding for future steps. They guide us to concentrate on the subjects and solve our problems. They are good at both theoretical and practical teaching.
