Remarks
I took admission in NRS Medical College & Hospital, Kolkata through 15% All India Quota , my AIR was 5174 which could have easily fetch me an MBBS seat in any government medical college of my own state (jharkhand) but still, i decided to get admitted in NRSMCH through AQI as this college has a legacy and being in the metro city has tremendous patient influx which provides good exposure in your UG days, NRS is well known for its academics & strict attendance further there are much more PG seats in west Bengal which will help you in your PG.
Course Curriculum Overview
Getting an MBBS seat in India that too in a government college is itself a blessing. I decided to persue MBBS because of my inner calling. There are 250 students in one batch which makes it a little crowded but for convenience, a batch is further divided into 4 groups A B C & D to make practical classes more convenient. But for lectures, whole batch attends it together, for the first year it takes place in Sister Nivedita Large Lecture Theatre which is air-conditioned and spacious equipped with a speaker and mic so the size of the class is not an issue. As per exams are considered , NRS is way mor strict as compared to other medical colleges of kolkata , here attendance is strict and exams are taken regularly.
Internships Opportunities
The internship is itself include in the course for 1 year i.e after 4.5 years of studying student has to do 1 year of internship. Since NRS has tremendous patient inflow so intership gives good exposure. Also one gets a stipend which is fixed by the state government.
Fees and Financial Aid
The fees are minimal somewhat 54000 for the entire course which is very cheap further u will even get a stipend in your internship days. There are many scholarships that one can apply for offered by the West Bengal government.
Campus Life
Ectasy is the annual cultural fest of NRS. There are many small celebrations as well. The library is good but i don't like its timing i.e closes by 5 in the evening, anyways you can borrow books. There is a playground in the campus and also common rooms to offer extracurricular activities
Hostel Facilities
Hostel facilities are decent for what they charge. Rs 12 is the monthly fee for hostel accommodation ( fooding excluded). There are many canteens in the campus and if you want you can get mess service as well. Rooms are shared by 3 students
