A Glimpse into Excellence: Review on Andhra Medical College, Vizag

MBBS is the only course that could make me a surgeon that I always wanted to become, hence I chose this course I choose this college due to its high patient load . I could also go to AIIMS Deogarh, Jammu, Guwahati, Madhurai or Jipmer Karaikal but I choose AMC over them is due to Patient load only.Here I can get good clinical exposure compared to those There are programs like Family Adoption programme, Early Clinical Exposure form the first year itself , and from second year only students go to ward postings. There is always real world application in this course This course particularly dont want any improvements in my opinion, NMC regulates and improves the curriculum in real time and that is implemented in this college perfectly. For every like 3 months we have internal exams to assess ourselves . And final exams in the last.

You have to work in KGH or in primary Health centres as MBBS Doctors or Medical officers in your 1 year compulsion rotatory internship and the salary is around 22000. There you'll get to learn about basic medical procedures.

Tution Fee - 15000 (every year) University fee( For AIQ Students only) including DD Charges - 10600+50 (One time payment) Cooperative Stores Fee - 2000 (One Time Payment) Andhra Medical college Students Association - 1000 (One time payment) Andhra Medical College Sports Fund- 2000 ( One time payment) For State quota Students there is no University Fee as mentioned above

There are plenty of events in this college, Freshers, farewells, convocations etc and even events for festivals like diwali etc . There is no lack of events and culturals here There is a big library with reading rooms. We can borrow books and journals anytime. SC,ST students can borrow books for free for the whole year. There is a sports period everyday. There is a big ground near Men's Hostel and interestes people can go and play. Definetly in the first year there is senior domination but you'll get chances further on . There are extracurricular activities like Yoga, NCC, NSS .Interested people can join those activities.

MCC conducts counselling for admission into all medical colleges in india through AIQ. In choice filling I filled AIIMS Mangalagiri and then this college, I couldn't get AIIMS mangalagiri even after scoring 690 due to rank inflation this year, My All India Rank was 3336. So I choose this college. I refused to join in other peripheral AIIMS due to lack of patient load , and other state colleges due to language barrier You have to qualify NEET exam to be eligible for admission in this college. The cutoff varies every year and the closing rank for Round 3 AIQ General category is 11182 and For state quota is varies depending upon the regions( there are 2 regions here AU and SVU) . Admission procedure takes up 1 day and it's very smooth. Just go there with asked documents and they will guide you properly

There are a lot of faculty and a lot of students too. But still faculty to student ratio is not good. But there are programmes like SGTs etc which ensures every student to build connection with faculty . 2 of Anatomy professors teach very good and interact with students. One of them is the professors in my dissection table. She explains things very well. I liked her teaching in this college Most of the faculty read out of slides , MBBS is just about self study. There are 3 internal assesments, 2 practical assesments and Final university exams for the first year . There are seperate Gold medal exams . Generally in other colleges who got the highest marks in final exams are awarded Gold Medal. But we have seperate gold medal exams.

Gym is in Men's hostel, it's good but there is senior domination and first years can't access it College timings are 9-4 . There are plenty of Hangout places in Vizag, lots of parks and beach road is literally 5 mins away from college , yeah vizag is very safe to roam at night
