A review on Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College and hospital by Arthita Nayek

Well, I think the current competency based method of study is very relevant to the real world. It not only helps the students to have a theoritical knowledge but akso checks on his / her hands on skills in that discipline.

The college provides internship to every student in the hospital attached to it. There is a huge patient inflow which gives us exposure to a variety of cases. This helps us in applying the theoritical knowledge and enhance our hands on skills.

Talking about placements, one can usually get placed in the hospital associated with the college. But most of the students opt for higher education whivh means they go on for thei post graduation. The college also provides an internship in the hospital for a period of one year.

Talking about the fee structure, we are required to pay an annual tution fees of Rs 9000. This includes the two semesters each with a tuition fee of Rs 4500. While admission, we need to pay an extra amount of 2000. This includes the admission fee, development fee and the lab fee. This is a one time payment, while the initial admission process. We also need to pay an amount of Rs 11000, during the counselling process out of which 10,000 is refundable if you choose a seat in any college. Also, jf you r opting for hostel facilities, you need to pay an excess of Rs 144 annually which includes stay and electricity charges( food charges needs to be paid separately and may be about Rs 3500 per month).

Campus life is really fun. There are a lot of non academic events hosted by the college that helps one practise their hobbies or even learn new skills. There are fests, different intercollege tournaments and many more adding the required amount of salt to our lives.

In the room we are provided with a bed, a table and an almirah. There are also two washing machines per floor and two elevators provided. Apart from these we can use any electrical appliances like induction, hair straightner etc. Talking about the food , the quality of food here is undoubtedly above average with a variety of options provided.

The main reason for choosing this college over others was that it is near to my hometown. But there are a several other factors like the ones I have stated as to why I like this college. Talking about the cutoff, you need to have an all india rank within 8000 for the general category , within 50, 000 for the SC category.

The college has well experienced and qualified faculties. Many faculty members are renowned experts in their fields. The faculty gives us all sorts of help both in terms of subject within syllabusor anwering the doubts of curious minds. They keave no stone unturned to give us the best quzlity of study materialsin the form of PDFs or PPT. Also the faculties from psychology helps us with all sorts of non academic helps. Taking of the teacher student ratio, there is one teacher for every 25 students, and hence students are given personal attention. Course structure : The course has a total of 19 subjects to be studied in a period of 4 and a half years. In the 1st year there are 3 subjects ( anatomy, biochemestry and physiology). In the 2nd year also there are 3 subjects( pathology, pharmacology and microbiology), 3rd year we have 2 subjects( FMT and PSM) and the 4th year has all other 11 subjects including medecine, surgery, paediatrics, etc. Exam systems : We have a semester form of exam . 1st and 2nd year has 2 semesters each while 3rd year has one semester and 4th year has 3 semesters. Along with the semesters we have a year end final exam conducted by the medical board. It includes the entire syllabus that has been taught in that particular year. The exams are usually pretty standard exams , which means you really have to study hard to pass. Overall, I think the recent competency based curriculum is very well framed. It not only helps the students to have thorough theoritical knowledge, but also gives a broad exposure to the practical world.
