Life of a Student in RGKMCH

The course curriculum is a standard MBBS course according to the latest CBME curriculum. I chose this course to fulfill my dream of becoming a doctor. The faculty-student ratio is quite good (around 1:10). All the faculty are themselves doctors with minimum MBBS degrees and the professors have at least a Master's degree(MD or MS) The teaching method is classroom and practical. There are smart boards for presentation and interactive teaching Term exams are held thrice every year and there is one university exam at the end of each year. Passing these exams requires a minimum of 50% marks of an aggregate of both theory and practical. One can pass them only if he/she has studied regularly.

The last year of the course involves a one-month internship in each of the 19 departments which allows us to learn from the best doctors In their fields. The internship is done within the college campus, in Bagh Bazaar and Aamdanga as well. Interns get a monthly stipend of around 30k. They get to learn under the PGTs and Professors to understand how to deal with patients in the real world.

Fees are quite low just 4500 INR every semester (6 months). There is no increase in the fees throughout the course and a total of 9 semesters make the total course fees to around 40000INR. At the end of the 4.5 years, we get an internship stipend of around 30k. There is hardly any time to do extra jobs during the course as MBBS is tough.

The Annual Academic Fest is 'Lobelia' which is one of the biggest medical college fest in East India. There is also and Annual Academic Fest 'Therapeuo' which was started in 2023 itself.

You can be admitted to this college only after getting the required minimum cutoff marks in the NEET exam according to your quota. You can take the NEET exam after completing your 10+2 exams and science stream with physics chemistry biology. There is no application form as such but you can take admission through all India or state counselling that happens after the NEET exam results are released. This usually happens in September. Reservation benefits are given to SC, OBC and ST, PWD, minorities, etc. They have to get lesser cutoff marks as compared to unreserved students I haven't availed of any such benefit of registration.
