Overall, I am satisfied with my college, although there are some short, such as language issues.
Placements: My batch 1st-year MBBS has a strength of 250 students. Most of my batchmates are day scholars or are from different districts of West Bengal. A few of us are from other states AIQ Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Arunachal Pradesh, and Rajasthan. Every student gets an internship at the end of the MBBS course.
Infrastructure: Since my college was established in 1835, which makes it the oldest medical college in all of Asia, you can't expect that much better infrastructure compared to other newly established colleges. But, it still has its own historic vibe, and the patient load here is very high. Talking about other facilities, the library is well-maintained with free Wi-Fi facility and AC services. Labs are also highly equipped. Hostels are not up to the mark, as you have to share your room with at least two or three people, but some of the new hostels are very good.
Faculty: The best thing about this college is that professors are very helpful. They are highly knowledgeable and well-qualified. They personally provide counseling for us regarding our studies, tests, and future plans, and they also give suggestions based on our needs. The semester exams are quite difficult compared to the final university exams. You have to score at least 50% in total.
Other: Becoming a doctor is my childhood dream, so I never have any other plans than MBBS. The best thing about my course is that it not only makes you a better doctor but also a more responsible person and teaches you how to handle pressure situations. Since my college is located in the crowded city of Kolkata, there isn't a single playground for students. I would also suggest that we should have a personal college campus free of patients, and the college should organize fests and various co-curricular activities for students.

An oldest Asian College.
Placements: There is no such type of placements in the college as it is a Medical College. The college provides compulsory one year internship to students inside the college campus. The internships makes the student exposed to various cases which will make them an experienced doctor in future.
Infrastructure: The College has quite a good infrastructure. The classrooms or the lecture theatre are air conditioned with a microphone and projector. The Library has Wi-Fi connection and also the books are updated. The hostels are also quite good with all the required facilities available for the students.
Faculty: The teachers are helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is good. The teachers follow the competency medical curriculum which makes the students industry ready. The semesters are quite tough to pass but the pass percentage is good.
Other: I chose this course because my dream was to pursue MBBS. The course is good but there is pressure in it. The annual freshers event is held in the college which is known as Alapan.

Government Medical College, Kolkata is a good college.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good. The hostel is very neat and clean. There are separate hostels for boys and girls. There are many hostels. Maximum students get hostel facilities. Hostel facilities are good.
Faculty: A total of 9 semesters are taken in 4 years, and there are four professional examinations. Three exams are in the first year, two in the second year, and two in the third. As we all know, MBBS is not an easy course. So you have to work hard.
Other: To get a degree like this is to serve people. I would like to be a part of this noble profession. Here you can interact with others very easily. Above all, the senior-junior relationship is good here.

This is the oldest heritage of Asia established in 1835 and it is the top medical college of Bengal.
Placements: There are about 250 students from all over India. But mainly bengalis are here. So, Bengal is used as a second language for teaching. However, Hindi speaking students are also seen. Many students of Kolkata prefer this college over AIIMS. I am proud to be a part of one of the best medical colleges in India.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is good. The campus is regularly cleaned. Our college has the largest gyanocologist ward all over Asia (Eden hospital). There are 4 boys hostels and 2 girls hostels for MBBS students. You will see the combination of ancient and modern technology in its infrastructure. But, there is no playground or a gym.
Faculty: Teachers in our college are helpful and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is good but as a Hindi speaking student, in the starting, it was very difficult to understand long lectures which include Bengal language. But we know that language problem will be faced when you choose the best colleges out of your state. Exams are taken regularly.
Other: The patient load of this college is very high. This is the best medical college in West Bengal. All the departments of this college are well developed.
