Great college for MBBS in Assam

MBBS is a course of choice for many people in our country. This is one of the most relevant courses you'll ever get. The profession of doctor itself is a encouraging one. Here the teaching is pretty well. Teachers will keep telling you real life scenerios and how they differ from our books. You'll get a good experience in this college as the patient load in hospital is quite good. You'll get a good chance to be a good doctor in real world.

Everyone have to take compulsory Internship after completion of MBBS course. Internship takes place in our hospital only. They offer around Rs. 35000 monthly. It comes from Govt. being a government medical college.

During my admission, the admission fee was Rs. 2300 along with Rs. 1000 as counselling charge (this is 1 time fee only). Yearly they charge Rs. 5000 for registration and Rs. 6700 (for non-hostellers) or Rs. 9700 (for hostellers) before the final prof examination. If you break down this 6700/9700 then Rs. 5000 is academic fee, Rs. 3000 is annual hostel fee (for hostellers), Rs. 1200 is tuition fee and rest is for library, lab & miscellaneous fees.

Social life is just great at SMCH, just great. Lots of events throughout the year. Plasma during April and Plexus during October-November are the annual fests. Keeping them aside there'll be more cultural and social events throughout the year. Starting from Saraswati puja, Holi, Rabindra Jayanti, Sankardev tithi, Ganesh chaturthi and Diwali, many such events takes place throughout the year. Sport events are endless. Cricket, football, badminton, chess, ludo, volleyball, gyming and many more keeps happening. There are clubs run by students. Rotary and chess clubs are few to be named.

Hostel facility is not so good. It is old and things are broken. You have to bring your own furnitures. Food is also not so good and poorly prepared. The food is better at girl's hostel as they often get monthly grand feasts. But still they get cockroaches in their meal sometimes. Fee is affordable as I mentioned earlier.

You've to clear NEET-UG to get into our college. SMCH is one of the top medical colleges in Assam. My first preference during counseling was SMCH but I got rejected in 1st counseling. But eventually got it in the 2nd counseling. I choose SMCH because it's nearest to my house and locality. As it is one of the oldest medical colleges in Assam so a well established teaching plan and methodology is present here. So it's better than most of the Medical colleges in Assam.

Faculty to student ratio vary from dept to dept. In most of the dept there is 1 faculty for each 20-30 students. Faculties are very polite and approachable. They're always happy to help and teach you. They won't be mad at you for asking doubts and questions rather they'll be mad if u don't ask them anything. Also they're enthusiastic about extracurricular activities. They take part in college events like sports, music, dance, bands, comedy etc.

There is gym, cafeteria and library in college. So you can visit them upto 8-9 pm. Girl's hostel in timing is 7-30pm but extended during the fests. No intime for boys hostel. You can hangout outside in the town where you'll get lots of restaurants and park. Campus is not usually considered safe for girls to roam around as there are many dark corners and it's open to all being a medical college so many outsiders roam around here. You should be careful.
