A honest review about Government Medical College , Kollam

We are following CBME curriculum.. we are trying to achieve all the competencies a good doctor should have effectively. I personally felt like the frequencies of exams should be increased. So that students are exposed to more questions and they are thorough with the topics .. Introduction of MCQ in exams will bring a strong foundation for pg exams

So as a house surgeon there will be 24 hour shifts and 36 hour shifts .. posting in all areas are covered . They will be paid around 30000 monthly . Rooms are available at night for resting . Securities for monitoring.

There is one year of internship for final year passed students. They will work as house surgeons.. other than this ESIC students have a bond opportunity for extra one year .They have to work in any esic hospital for one more year

I'm paying around 30,000 as tution fees. On the time of registration we paid 30,000 as tution fees .. 9000 as students union fees .. 15,000 as pta fees .. 5000 for hostel enrollment. Around 5000 for text books and around 1200 for cns kit and dissection kit .. I'm getting egrantz scholarship for OBC category.i will get the same amount as of my tution fees. And rs 500 monthly as pocket money .

The Central Library of our college has almost all medical books for reference. A calm reading room and a special students study hall where students do compaign studies . Since it's a developing college , sports and arts activities are comparatively less but still we were runner up for sports competition. The best function in the college is obviously convocation of house surgeons which happens In the month of June .

WE have to pay rs 600 monthly for hostel accomodation. And around 4000 for students mess . Initially we have to pay around 5000 for hostel enrollment.very few pg rooms are available. A single room is shared by 4. Common bathroom, washing machines, study hall , game areas and boilers available

Since it's a government college admission is based upon the rank in NEET. Better ranks offer better colleges .Since our college is an ESIC hospital, their are seat reservations for esic students And there are cubicles in our colleges for helping students with admission procedures .

So first year we are having 3 subjects. Physiology , Anatomy and biochemistry. °ANATOMY is mostly dissection based studies and for every 25 students their will be 2 proffersors to monitor them . °PHYSIOLOGY and BIOCHEMISTRY proffessors teach by ppt's and seminars . One of my favourite Faculty is Dr Rajad sir . He is a doctor by profession but a great writer .I liked his work " Body Lab ". And In physiology department we have three proffessors who are always together; Dr Geeshma , Dr Diveen and Dr Aneesh .They encourage us in the field of extra curricular activities. Their classes will be fun as they used to bring musical instruments and sing in our class..Dr Ashish K Joey , a professor from biochemistry department is a famous music composer. He used to motivate us whenever we are broke. Dr Mohan sir is a cool man who always inspire by his travel vlogs .We greatly admire Dr Vandana mam who made us fell in love with anatomy.Dr Jessy mam have a special talent in teaching us CNS topics in the most simplified form . Dr Bindu mam and Dr Shamha mam are two faculties from Biochemistry department who supports us when we face the most hardest times. Still their are many more proffessors yet to be mentioned . We have regular short exams... 3 sessional exams and one final university exams along with practical exams.. it's not that much tough ..regular studies and practice, understanding the basic concepts would top the exams .

Very few gyms and cafeterias around the campus. Nightlife is so calm apart from the attacks of mosquitoes. The famous hangout spot near the college is Varkala cliff .. it has many cafes and water activities.
