I started my time at LHMC in the 2016–2017 session, and it's been an amazing journey so far. Right now, we're celebrating 100 years of our college, and there are a ton of events and activities for the centenary. When we joined, we were welcomed with the centenary convocation and our annual cultural fest, Splash. Our college is linked with Sucheta Kripalani Hospital and Kalawati Saran Children’s Hospital, which are renowned in Asia for Gynaecology and Paediatrics. We also go to Dr. RML Hospital for classes and postings. The campus is a bit small, and there's been reconstruction happening for a while now. We have active societies that help in the overall development of students. Since it’s an all-girls college, we learn to manage and organize events independently, like with Splash. The teachers here are really supportive, encouraging us to engage in student-led activities and take part in research programs by ICMR. LHMC boasts many well-known professionals from the medical field.
Some people think life in an all-girls college is dull, but from my experience, it doesn't matter whether it's co-ed or not. If you want to enjoy college life, you'll find a way. LH offers plenty of chances to have fun. Located in the heart of Connaught Place, everything you need is nearby. The area is safe, and transport is never a problem.
Our seniors are incredibly supportive, and there's no hazing here. They go out of their way to help us newbies, whom they affectionately call fucchas. The newly renovated auditorium is one of the best I've seen.
I can’t speak about the hostel facilities as I'm a day scholar. Overall, LHMC is a wonderful college with a rich heritage. Hardonians earn respect globally and excel in various fields. I’m excited about the next five years here!
Hope this helps answer your question.
Life in LHMC is pretty good at the moment. After finishing our third professional exams, we had a one-month elective posting period. During this time, we can choose the postings we want to attend, and they're assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
I was lucky to get my top choices: ECG in medicine and Digital Tools in pharmacology. The pharmacology elective was great because I learned about referencing, which will be super useful in postgraduate studies. Our facilitator, Dr. Lalit, heads the pharmacology department and is an amazing person. I really admire him and hope to be like him one day.
In the ECG elective, I learned how to interpret different ECGs. I chose this because it's a tough topic, and mastering it will definitely benefit me in the future. Overall, it was a rewarding experience.
Today, our new session began on March 1. We had a three-day break after the electives ended, so I spent time with friends, visited a temple, did some painting, and just relaxed. I know this is probably the last stress-free holiday we'll have for a while.
I'm feeling both nervous and excited about being in the final year. It's a mix of emotions, like nostalgia and anticipation. Time flies so fast, but some things never change, like the bond with my CD family.
Life at Lady Hardinge Medical College is quite dynamic. The MBBS program is rigorous, with a well-structured curriculum that emphasizes clinical exposure early on. Term exams are held regularly, which helps in keeping us focused and accountable. The faculty is outstanding, and they really care about our progress.
The campus is buzzing with activities, especially during our annual fest, Splash. There are various societies that cater to different interests, which is fantastic for personal growth. Hostel accommodations are satisfactory, with good meal options. Overall, LHMC provides a solid foundation for both academic and personal development.
I think many people from Hardinge could write a whole book on how incredible life is here, and it still wouldn't cover everything!
Recently, I've been responding to questions about LHMC because they might help future students. I've seen some posts from seniors and can totally relate now that I've spent over nine months here.
It all kicked off on August 1, 2019, so let's see it through the eyes of a first-year student.
You get 239 new chances to make friends and meet people with amazing talents, not just in schoolwork. Thanks to all the foundation course sessions!
The seniors are awesome. They introduced us to societies where like-minded folks come together. One cool thing is, we don’t call them sir or ma'am here. We call them Di, and they treat us like family.
A society meeting might just turn into a party!
Covering for seniors in class? Done.
I'm not even sure which lab we went to!
Conferences are a whole experience, both before and after.
As for ECEs, I'm really enjoying them, even if we don't remember everything.
Anatomy expectations versus reality is real.
Physiology is all about getting that perfect microscope pic and realizing girls are tougher than they look. Shoutout to my friend Smruti who donated blood for me.
Biochemistry is cool if you finish the practicals fast. You get an extra hour free!
Connaught Place is amazing for food and year-round concerts. And if it's 1 A.M., why not go for a walk around CP?
Need peace? Bangla Sahib is the place, especially early in the morning.
Festivals and clubs are a blast. Lohri and DJ nights often turn into rain dance parties.
Pulling an all-nighter? Totally. Hungry and sleepy? Alam's got tea or Maggie to save exam nights.
Paparazzi moments for future roasting and WhatsApp groups.
Sleep or phone? Tough choice.
Backbenchers, watch out, you might get called to the front.
Finished early? Your Nutella is my Nutella.
If you don’t feel like studying, there’s room behind the last bench.
All-girls trips? Check.
Audi steps at 4 for some me-time.
Life at LHMC is pretty much like any other med college. We learn to be independent and do what we want.
At LHMC, studying MBBS is intense but rewarding. The faculty-student ratio is good, which means we get personal attention. The curriculum involves frequent exams, so it’s essential to stay on top of your studies.
The internship opportunities are great, as we get to practice in associated hospitals, earning a stipend while gaining hands-on experience. The campus is lively, with a rich social life and numerous societies for extracurricular activities.
Our annual fest, Splash, is a highlight of the year, bringing everyone together for fun. Hostel life is comfortable, with decent food and essential facilities, making it a great place to live and study.
