Admission

I picked GMC over other colleges as it has a high patient load, good OPDs and excellent facilities. In vitro fertilisation is done for free and it's the oldest medical college in Asia. Faculty is also very well qualified. To get admission one must clear NEET UG and get a sufficient rank. Admission process is same as any other medical college.

Faculty

4

Faculty to student ratio is high (going up to 1 faculty per 5 students) and faculty are very approachable. All clinical departments have excellent faculty There are university exams held every year and prelims organised by college.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The academics here is really great. They focus much on clinical aspects rather than on non clinical. The SGDs( small group discussion) and SDLs( self Directed learning) are better approachable form to reach students here they make a small group of five students per teacher for the discussion and gives a topic for the discussion. One improvement I will suggest is to use animated videos more in lectures rather than written slides. Frequency and timings of exams are perfectly coordinated (somewhat frequency is more????) that gives a better time and pressure to revise the contents taught.
