Life at GMC Ernakulam.

The course curriculum is extremely hectic and not in respect to the time period of the course.The idea of learning about human body alwasy fascinated me.New curriculum was introduced midway between our course by KUHS which was absolutely stubborn. CBME curriculum is very efficient in framing good doctors but none of the faculties knows how to implement it.The exams are held every year. They are difficcult to pass if not well prepared with all the concepts. The new curriculum even makes it more difficcult.

Internship is cumolsory and should be done in the same college itself. There is no scheme of campus placements in MBBS course.Doctors are expected to provide high quality patient care woth empathy. We will be assigned duties in every department.

The course fees in Rs 25000 per year. In addition to that exam fees is also charged depending on the number of subjects.Hostel fees is Rs.500 per month and mess fees is Rs.2500.Scholorships are available for low annual incone students only.After passing final year we will undergoe a one year cumpolsory internship with a very low stipend of Rs.25k per month with contiuous 48+ hrs shifts of work.

The college has good infrastructure for sports invluding volleyball court indoor badminton court table tennis cricket etc..Arts events are also happening full fledged within the college.Clubs are not active within our college except for Ashraya palliative care. A very good library is an asset of our college.All classrooms have a projector. Intermedicos sports and arts festivals are held every year by university and also various colleges.

The room is four sharing with single beds. Rooms are spacious. We have common bathrooms. Hostel menu is good and quality of food depends on the cook.Hostel facility is provided for all the students who opt for it.

Admission was via NEET entrance exam and bio maths in twelfth was the eligibility criteria with 50% or more in those subjects.Application for the exam was through NMC portal.Application fess was around Rs.2500.The exams are held once every year in may.The exam is not really difficcult. Its conpletely based on 11th and 12th syllabus. Now around 25 lakh students are writing the exam every year. The admission process should be more efficient.
