Journey through Medicine: Reflections on Five Years of MBBS

I choose the course because of my own passion, I wanted to be a surgeon, and also it is the only job that provides the opportunity to serve our people, society and country directly in ground level. Number of faculties varies from subjects to subjects. On average 15 faculties are there per 250 students. Faculties are highly qualified, but, I felt some of them lack the skill of teaching, and engaging students to the subject in a beautiful way, even though they are highly qualified in their subjects. Internal Exams are conducted after every 3 or 4 months. At the end of each year, one students have to appear for the final University exams, which are very difficult to write as there is huge syllabus and the answers to be written are very lengthy.

In MBBS course, Internship is compulsory and it is included in the last year of the course. There are many paid internship available in various departments like microbiology, pathology, for paramedical students.

In government colleges, the college fees are low. Hostel fees varies depending upon the food cost. There are many scholarships opportunities like FFE ONGC NSP JBNSTS( for West Bengal students) Swami Vivekananda Merit cum scholarship ( WB)

Life in campus is good, but it may feel bad in 1st year Annual fests are held in every colleges, and apart from that, freshers, hostel fest and many other sports and cultural festives are organised time to time. The library is well equipped with books,but medical books mostly are there. Classroom is well equipped with projectors, mic system. There are many cultural and sports club functioning in the college.

The hostel in my college is awesome. And it is the most favourite thing to me in my college. Meal quality is good, and bengali foods have lots of options and menus, which is good. Hostel is provided as per the availability and the home distance of the applied candidates. There are many pgs available, near the campus

Admission was through NEET UG exam. NEET exam is conducted every year in the may of month. 12th pass candidate can apply for it by going through NTA.GOV website. Application fees for unreserved catagory is ?1500. Reservation benefits are there. In my opinion the examination should be conducted atleast twice in a year, like many other entrance exams.
