My experience at Government medical College Kollam or should I say QMC

the insty follows IMAs Competency Based Medical Education curriculum, ao as to ensure that each student is capable and has achieved the competencies required for an Indian medical graduate. the exam pattern us abit difficult they postponed the subjects to the later year in the end of the academic year.

we are provided with 1 year of internship (house surgeon) which has to be completed within the college. during this period we get to assist in surgeries, posting at the primary health centre etc. it helps us more to understand. the working of government hospitals

There is no campus placements opportunity Though its provides Junior resident position to any MBBS graduate its mot solely to the college. those under ESIC Quota should work compulsory bond for 1 year, which can be anywhere in India, but have a good salary of 120000 per month. Failure should provide 10lakh if the person wishes to break the bond

the annual fees varies depending on whether you get admission under all india quota / CEE Kerala and ESIC Quota All India and CEE Kerala is 24500, ESIC Quota is around 26000 Additionally there is hostel establishment fees and water and electricity fee coming to 600 per month. there is also scholarship for economically backward students coming to around 20000 per year.

there are annual and medical conferences held though not compulsory for an undergraduate level. we can present our research topics at different medical conferences. i was personally able to present my undergraduate reasearch at trivandrum The social life is not compromised, there are many tourists spots located nearby including the famous Varkala cliff beach

Hostel was built by the ESIC cooperation which provided adequate space in the! rooms. each student is given a bed and almirah a study table chair and a bedside nightstand. Each room accomodate 3 students. there is monthly establishment fees+ water and electricity 600 per month Hostel is within the collage campus. but hospital and campus separation is still under progress

personally i chose this because of its location. ita in my state ao language wouldn't be a problem. it definitely wasn't my first Choice, which was government medical College, Calicut then trivandrum and Kottayam. you have to have achieved a good enough rank in NEET UG examination to get into any of the government collages my rank was all India 16K and kerala 6K

there are adequate faculties inthe non clinical departments but lack faculties in the clinical departments. this is being resolved as the PG seats are being approved in the clinical side. the PSM nad forensic medicine and toxicology departments have a good student teacher communication. among clinical subjects ENT, OPHTHALMOLOGY, general medicine, OBG also have a good approach.

the only test needed was NEET UG as i mentioned earlier one has to achieve high rank to get into the government colleges. there was. no other interview or trsts required. admission occurs through the NEET UG counseling process.
