What Students Say
Likes
- The teaching faculty is well stacked with a teacher for every 10 students ( mentor programme ). Most of the staffs are doctors themselves.
- The fest is really impressive and flawlessly conducted by the association. Various fun events and frequent Bollywood guests artists add to its grandeur.
- The location being in Jadavpur, Kolkata has it's own benefits. The transportation there is excellent and we can avail countless benefits for it being in Kolkata.
Dislikes
- The fee structure is quite high and increasing each year. Even though it's lower than many other private colleges, but it's rapidly increasing with every year which makes it affordable to very selected group of society.
- The frequency of exams is rather too high for it's own bad. We often don't get enough time to prepare and it somewhat hinders the classes, as it takes place in class hours.
- The coordination between the students' association and the teachers is rather bleak. Often times we can't participate in events due to it clashing with classes or internal exams. It's quite tough for us to manage classes and curriculum/ events both
Course Curriculum Overview
I was keen on pursuing this course since I was a kid, so it was no-brainer for me to go and proceed with this course after getting selected. It is a very good college and quite convenient for me to travel there since the transportation facilities in Jadavpur, Kolkata is quite impressive. Most of our faculty members are doctors themselves and are qualified enough to impart knowledge in the subjects they have chosen to. We have IAs, vivas and PCTs quite often along with the timely semesters and they are conducted professionaly. The passing criteria is 50% for both theories and practicals. Being honest, it's quite challenging to ace in these exams but can be done with regular and diligent studying.
Fees and Financial Aid
The fees are quite high, 18.75 lakhs for State Quota & 72 Lakhs total for Management Quota, since it is a private ownership college ( Private-Public Model ). However, it's quite lower than the other private medical colleges in West Bengal. No scholarships as such are available from the college body as such, but general scholarship exams conducted by independent bodies can be given and scholarships from there can be availed.
Campus Life
The social life here is commendable. Plexus is our fest and it's enjoyable throughout. Various events - sports, games, theatres,etc are held and it's quite fun to take part in. Many renowned guests artists also perform here. It gets good enough sponsorships and is a high budget event overall. The library is well enough and stocked with almost all the books necessary for this course. All our labs are very well equipped and there's no shortage of cadavers and bones even. There are various clubs and the KPC students' welfare association ( KPCSWA ) looks after it.
Admission
I have NEET and qualified it. I was alloted this college on merit/rank basis. I'm in unreserved category and yes there are benefits of reservations availed in this process. NTA is the conducting body for this entrance examination and the details thereby adhere to their guidelines. NMC is the body responsible for the admissions and allotment thereon.
