Saikat Banerjee's Review on Nilratan Sircar Medical College & Hospital, [NSMC&H] Kolkata
Placements and Internships
- WE GET A STIPEND OF RS 17000 PER MONTH DURING ONE YEAR OF COMPULSORY ROTATORY INTERNSHIP.
- ALMOST ALL STUDENTS GET A CALL FROM ANY WELL SET PRIVATE SETUP INSTITUTIONS AND HOSPITALS LIKE FORTIS, ILS, APOLLO, BELLVUE ETC. WE CAN ALSO OPT FOR VARIOUS GOVERNMENT JOBS AS MEDICAL OFFICERS.
- SO THE JOB OPPORTUNITIES ARE PLENTY AND SALARIES RANGE FROM Rs 9.60-24.00 LAKH PER ANNUM WITH MANY OTHER REMUNERATIONS.
- WE ALSO HAVE WELL ORGANISED ALUMNI NETWORK.
College Infrastructure and Hostel Facilities
- THERE ARE 3 HOSTELS AND ABOUT 5 CANTEENS AND MESSES WHERE FOOD IS SERVED. RATES ARE QUITE AFFORDABLE.
- BUT QUALITY OF FOOD IS A THING TO BE THOUGHT ON.
- COLLEGE INFRASTRUCTURE IS QUITE GOOD AND FAST DEVELOPING.THERE IS AS SUCH NO WIFI ZONES AVAILABLE...BUT ONE CAN ACCESS INTERNET VIA DESKTOPS IN THE LIBRARY AND CYBER CAFE WITHIN CAMPUS.
Academics and Faculty
- STUDYING MBBS IN INDIA UNDER MCI RULES HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CHALLENGE FOR ALL STUDENTS DUE TO ITS VAST SYLLABUS AND ABUNDANT STRESS ON EXAMS ON REGULAR BASIS. REGULAR CLASS TIMINGS START AT 8 AM IN MORNING AND ENDS AT 3-4PM AT NOON. SO STUDENTS NOT ONLY DEVELOPS A DISCIPLINED LIFE BUT ALSO GETS ENOUGH SLEEP AT NIGHT. ALL CLASSES ARE REGULARLY HELD AND TEACHERS ARE PRETTY SERIOUS ABOUT IT. APART FROM SEMESTER AND FINAL YEAR ENDING MB PROF EXAMS, NUMEROUS SHORT WEEKLY TESTS (ORAL AND WRITTEN) ARE HELD AT FREQUENT INTERVALS..THIS KEEPS US UP TO DATE WITH THE ONGOING STUDIES IN CLASS AND REDUCES PRESSURE DURING YEAR ENDING EXAMS...PRACTICALS ARE HELD REGULARLY, EVERYDAY DURING THE SECOND HALF OF OUR CLASSES...ALMOST ALL PRACTICAL CLASSES ARE REMARKABLE AND REALLY A RETREAT FOR US..ASSIGNMENTS AND PROJECTS ARE DONE BY GROUPS CONSTITUTING 8 TO 10 MEMBERS, WHICH IS USEFUL IN ITS OWN WAY. ALONG WITH IT WE HAVE GOT REGULAR WARD VISITS FOR 2 HOURS EVERYDAY WHICH IS VERY MUCH USEFUL IN BUILDING SKILLS. WE HAVE IN OUR COLLEGE UP TO DATE TECHNOLOGY AND STUDY EQUIPMENTS AND PROFESSORS TEACHES US VIA BOTH BOARD WORK AND SLIDE PRESENTATIONS.
- QUALITY OF TEACHING IS REALLY GOOD AND ITS IMPROVING DAY BY DAY..DEMONSTRATION CLASSES ARE THE BEST EXAMPLES WHERE SPECIMENS ARE TAUGHT WITH FLUENCY AND EXPERTISE...THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION DELIVERED IS SATISFYING. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SENIORS ARE NEXT TO OUR PARENTS AND THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY INSTANCE OF BULLYING OR RAGGING..CAMPUS ENVIRONMENT IS SO CALM AND COOL AND THERE IS SO MUCH FREEDOM EVERYWHERE, WHICH IS UNBELIEVABLE...ALL CREDIT GOES TO OUR COLLEGE DEAN, AND ADMINISTRATORS WHO ARE STRICT IN THIS REGARD...COLLEGE LIBRARY IS ANOTHER ASSET OF OUR COLLEGE CAMPUS WHERE ONE CAN STUDY UNDISTURBED FOR LONG HOURS...COLLEGE CAMPUS MAINTAINS CLEANLINESS AND HYGUENE AND COLLEGE CANTEENS ARE WELL MAINTAINED.
- OVERALL I HAVE MOSTLY POSITIVE VIEWS REGARDING OUR COLLEGE AND THE LIFE WE LEAD OVER THERE.
Fees and Scholarships
- AS IT IS A GOVERNMENT COLLEGE, HENCE COLLEGE FEES ARE BEARABLE. PER SEMESTER FEES IS Rs 4500 FOR 9 SUCH SEMESTERS. HOSTEL FEES IS ONLY FOR 12 PER MONTH. FOR YEAR ENDING EXAMS WE HAVE A REGISTRATION FEE WHICH IS QUITE BEARABLE.
- STUDENTS MAINLY SELECTED ON THE BASIS OF ECONOMIC STATUS(FAMILY INCOME) ARE OFFERED SCHOLARSHIPS. SOME OF THEM GET SCHOLARSHIPS FROM DIFFERENT ORGANISATIONS.
- ONLY VERY FEW STUDENTS GET SUCH SCHOLARSHIPS ON AN AVG OF 40-45 PER 250 STUDENTS.
- LOANS ARE AVAILABLE FROM ALMOST ALL NATIONALIZED BANKS AND PRIVATE BANKS IN THE FORM OF EDUCATION LOAN BUT IN MOST CASES IT IS NOT A REQUIREMENT.
