The course curriculum is as per the NMC guidelines. The curriculum covers everything from teaching to practical classes to patients exposure. Faculties are very knowledgeable and try to give their best in teaching the topics.

Internship is provided by the hospital attached to the college itself. As per NMC guidelines, a student has to mandatory work as CRRI in hospital for one year. They are paid monthly Rs 25000-30000 (don't know the exact amount as I'm just third year student) Only after completing the internship duties, student gets his MBBS degree. During the course of one hear of internship, students are posted in various departments and have to handle the patients.

Since it is a government college, it is quite cheap. During the admission process we need to pay Rs.15000 as admission fee. There is no fee asked after that. We need to pay for record notebooks which accounts for almost Rs.3000 per year. And we also need to pay exam fees of almost Rs 11000 to 12000 for our university exams. If we unable to pass exams, we have to give supplimentary exam for which we have to pay exam fee again.. Apart from these no other fees is required. Hence it is very affordable.
