The MBBS curriculum is divided into 4 yrs with 9 semesters. There are a total of 19 subjects to study. 3 in 1st year, 4 in 2nd, 3 in 3rd, and rest in 4th.

Lectures are given to 150 students together and practicals and hospital duties are taken by dividing students into various groups for better interaction. There are 2 types of exams- internal and external. Internal exams are 3 terminals which consist of theory, practical, and viva. In these 3 you've to be sent up in atleast 2 to appear for the external exam of that year. The passing mark is 50% and the sent-up is 37%. The external exam is conducted by the respective University to which the college is affiliated. For passing the year you have to pass University exams ( theory, practical, and viva) by atleast 50%.
