Student's life at SCB medical college: a medico's insights

MBBS is a vast subject. We are taught clinical application of each and every topic. I always wanted to serve people and deep dive into the nuances of human health issues. Teaching methods should be purely clinical based so that we can cure patients. We have three internal assessment and a final exam during an academic year. Exams are bit tough as we have to cover vast syllabus within limited time.

MBBS offers internships on the 5th year. Interns are subjected to different patients according to clinical postings. After internship, students can apply for post graduation. Internship offer a handsome amount of stipend to the students.

Tuition fee remains constant and there is no such increase. Since government bears all other charges,except for Tuition fees we only have expenses of books and stationary items. Scholarships are available for economically weaker students.

Many fests like intracollege fest Aurora and Intercollegiate fest like Synapse are held. Books from library can be issued by library card. Projectors are fitted to have a advanced learning with all the rooms having ACs. College offers many extra curricular activities. Sports facilities like swimming, badminton, cricket, basketball are there. There are many club's and social groups.

The rooms are spacious enough for 3 students. Clean water for drinking and sanitation is available. The quality of meal is good but bit costly. Menus are different on different days of week. The hostel is inside the medical premises and have enough security guard.

Admission is done through counseling conducted by MCC. You have to attend NEET with a minimum age of 18years and get a minimum cut-off of 640 to get a seat. Application form and fees are given on NTA website. Reservation benefits can be availed.

The teachers here are really helpful in making us understand our subject. Every single teacher have done post graduation from a premier medical institute and excelled in their own individual field. They help us during our ward rounds and around patients. During practical sessions their is a faculty to student ratio of 10:1. We are allowed to interact with them anytime within college time.
