Remarks
I would say that the college life was good. However it was very strict. Our labcoats were checked too. We sometimes didnt have enough dental materials. But patient flow gives us good practice. I loved being in Goa DENTAL college and Hospital.
Course Curriculum Overview
Our college is probably the best. It is the only government hospital in Goa. Great exposure made us into better doctors. Removing 400 teeth is what makes dentistry real fun. They made sure that we were fit to face any situation in our life. Hostel life was fun as well.
Placement Experience
We had a 1 year compulsory internship. Post that we were perfect to start our own clinics. Most of us did.
College Events
Fun week, it was a 3 day long event. There is not much fun in medical or dental colleges. Goa medical college had an event called Genesis. It was all fun until our assignments were close which were many many. Fun week was a relaxed part of the yearly schedule
Fee Structure And Facilities
About 20000 per semester. But you also need to buy some instruments and materials. Text books and other study materials are not included. Everyone spends about 50k additional to the regular fees which I think is acceptable. Hostel fees are about 9k per year.
Fees and Financial Aid
No. There was no scholarship as far as I know. But I believe Goa government gives education loans.
Campus Life
Campus life was great. Big garden to take walks. Gender ratio was 1:6 girls in majority. Library was great, big and stocked. Lots of common rooms, great hostel facility. Good faculty. Labs were clean and well equipped. Each clinic had sufficient chairs, some didn't work.
Hostel Facilities
I did. We had some lectures very early in the morning. Hostel fees were reasonable considering how good it was. Cleaning staff was also very kind. Fees were 9k per year. Mess was not included. We had a garden too.
Alumni/Alumna
Not really. We have a WhatsApp group but nobody is active.We dont have a webpage or anything.I wish there was something we could do.
Admission
I answered Goa state entrance exam for medical course. The exam includes 3 subjects physics chemistry mathematics.It is fairly difficult. Same exam applies for medical and dentistry. Now it has changed to Neet exam. It is annual exam. The college is close to home and a good institution.
Faculty
Our faculty was strict, but good. They were good teachers. Starting from the way we dressed and the way we presented ourselves up to making us better professionals and diagnostician. There were so many who have helped us shape our lives. Some made lectures worth while.
