Medico's journey

I'm happy being a part of this one of the most prestigious colleges in India. Positive remarks would be definitely on the faculty and the teaching staff. Another good thing about the college is that the hospital is within the campus,so we can easily go to our postings in the hospital.

The course's total duration is 5-1/2 years including internship, and we have to pass out all the subjects unlike engineering colleges there is no option of having backlogs if we fail in our exams,and so have to pass all the exams without fail. During the course, which is pretty chill during the regular days, and have exams every semester (6months) which are held by the college itself and the finals are held by the University every 3-5 semesters (no. of sems change every year ). Labs are also pretty informative.

Being a medical profession, internship is a must for everyone after the course. after which we'll receive our degree. Gandhi hospital which is under state government is just beside the college,and every one is posted in that hospital during the course, in the internship we have a choice to go to other private hospitals (by paying fees instead of receiving money).

Cultural events held are -Ganesh chaturthi, Annual fest, and a technical event named AEGIS -(Annual edition of Gandhi's inter medical symposium). The fest has several programs including sports,movie nights, shortfilm competition,dandiya night,dj night. AEGIS is a medical symposium which is very informative regarding many things and new inventions and researchs in a fun way.

Fees is quite Feasible. Per year it is around 15,000-20,000 rupees. It includes all the fees including sports, library, tuition,cultural etc. For the first year of the course it costs about 16000? and for the second year as it is a bit longer (18months) the fees is 21000?.

Epass scholarship provided by the state government for the economically weaker sections is availed by many students. The college doesn't offer any loan facilities. We need to apply for the scholarship everyyear by showing the previous year's marks card in the online website. A scholarship offered by the alumni association is also there.

Gender ratio - males are dominated by the females by nearly half the total members. There aren't any student parties in our college. The strength of each class is 200 so there is a lot of diversity among the students and no discrimination among anybody. Everybody is friendly and helpful.

If one is interested in staying in the hostel provided by the college, we can opt for it at the beginning of the year. The hostel fees is 10,000 rupees. Excluding the mess fees, which would cost around 2500? per month.

There is a alumni association in our college. They are very helpful and keep providing support to the College. They distribute aprons and stethoscopes, and give scholarships to the new coming students everyyear. The seniors help us in every step, they guide us during our exams clear our various doubts.

After completing intermediate 2nd year,i had to take an entrance exam called NEET, i qualified and got a seat in Gandhi medical College secunderabad. I could choose between Dental- BDS,and MBBS, so i chose MBBS in the online counseling (web options)held soon after the results came out. And i received a mssg after few days from the knruhs University to which my college is affiliated, saying i got a seat in Gandhi medical College-gmc. I had to pay the University fees and the college fees inorder to get the admission.
