Fathima Dileep's Review on Sree Gokulam Medical College and Research Foundation, [SGMCARF] Thiruvananthapuram

I have not done my internship till now. My college offers internship of one year for a medical student with a stipend of INR 8,000 per month who had completed the duration of 4.5-year-long MBBS course.

Total three hostels are there, one is for the boys and two is for the girls. Hostel fee is around INR 1 lakh per annum. The facility provided at the hostel is very good. Foods offered are very tasty.

I have written the Kerala KEAM entrance exam. I have managed to secured 1,500 ranks and easily get enrolled there.

Classes along with practicals are conducted from 9 am to 4 pm. Clinics include Ward days for visiting patients and taking their cases for study with the concerned doctors. Clinics timing is very good.  We are exposed to both patients and an experienced doctor. Theory classes are conducted through OHP presentations. There are lab sessions too.

I got admission in the year 2015 on merit based on a fee of INR 1.85 lakhs per annum. Other then this there is a hostel fee of INR 1 lakh to INR 1.5 lakh per annum. Being a merit student I cover scholarships which were provided by Kerala government and my tuition fee was reduced to INR 25,000 only. Total of 20% of students on the campuses gets this fee concession. I have also covered my education loans. 

There are so many activities which are conducted on the campuses by the students union Navodhan. We celebrate almost everything here starting from the new year, valentines day, Onam, Christmas, independence day, and Holi. We have an Interbatch sports and arts day. Life in college is so good.
