GMC Thiruvananthapuram Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

The new ug curriculum of mbbs was implemented in 2019 and there are still confusion regarding the proper execution of the new curriculum. However the new curriculum is emphasized more on improving the clinical skill of students along with theoretical knowledge.

Even though the curriculum is large and hectic for students it gives a clear idea of how to approach to patients and practical part in clinics and early clinical exposure made me choose this course. Teaching method can be improved by bringing back chalk and board education system to collleges and by dividing the large group of students to units so faculties can give more attention to every student. Frequency of exams is every 3 months and then final exam with 1 month study leave but is very difficult to cover portions in the provided study leave.

Getting to treat and cure a needy person is the ultimate feature which influences every medical students. The present MBBS curriculum is Competency based medical education, which creates competent indian medical graduates who are capable of performing all the major healthcare roles by achieving specific number of Competencies. The curriculam can be improved by providing some more exposures in areas like radiodiagnosis and some other specialities. The frequency and difficulty level of the exams are decent for achieving the competencies

The only reason for me to take up this course is parental pressure and the misconception that there is much money involved. I was very disappointed about joining the course. The sheer academic pressure is too much for a student to handle, and the attitude of most faculty members does not at all help the situation. Many students of this course suffer from clinical depression. The job opportunities without undergoing postgraduate which is 10 times as hectic are abysmal. Work conditions after getting a job is ver bad. No time for personal life, salary considering the amount of work one has to put in is abysmal. The academic schedule although hectic involves a lot of rot all of which may not help in real-life situations. University exams are held every year, and covering the entire portion is a very difficult task.

The curriculum is hectic and is too much to handle sometimes. It sometimes feel very much theory oriented. And the stress we feel from the curriculum is huge nonetheless. A student friendly approach would be well appreciated

This career is not one of my favorite and I chose this because of my parents.but those who have real interest in medical field will love this course.there is posting hours 5 days a week where one can experience and learn real hospital vibe.facultys should be more .and there should be enough resources for everyone. Exams are difficult daily reading is needed.there is 3 internal exam and 1 university exam every year

Oru curriculum is competency based medical education and it has more importance on self learning. It teaches us to search for knowledge that we need. There is lots of competencies in associated with the syllabus to complete during our academic period

The course is MBBS so it is obviously difficult. Basic 11 and 12 grade knowledge is enough for the first year MBBS. I was a person who loved biology so that's why I took this course. We have University exams conducted once a year and those exams are really crucial. Small unit exams are also conducted by our colleges to make us elligable for writting University exams each year. 75 percent attendance is mandatory for writing exams.

Firstly I don't like the course .But, gradually the CBME curriculum is modified the medical field into new era through teaching methods , self directed learning , small group discussions , seminars etc. This curriculum is giving more importance to applications and practicals rather than theory classes.

First year is little bit difficult and sometimes we will feel burnt out.The stress level will be at peak but from second year we will start enjoying the course because of the clinical postings.The lecture classes can be improved in quality
