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.

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.

It is the oldest medical college in Asia (est.1834).

Placements: We have 250 students in each batch. It's a government medical college. We get approximately Rs. 30,000 during the internship. After passing MBBS, we become general physicians and can appear in NEET PG and can pursue a post-graduation degree in MS/MD/DNB in particular subjects.

Infrastructure: We have an excellent library (9 am-6 pm) with an unlimited number of medical books. Labs for each department are ventilated well and have adequate resources to teach the students. The hostel mess is quite good (we get breakfast, lunch, evening snacks, and dinner) at a minimal price (Rs.35-60).

Faculty: Teachers are well trained in MD, MS, and DNB with several years of experience. NMC determines the curriculum, which is well designed with the future of the doctor-patient relationship in mind. Semester examinations are a bit difficult if compared to the final MB paper. (50% is the pass percentage).

Other: It was my dream to be a successful doctor. We get a freshers' party. An annual fest is organised by our seniors. Every year we celebrate festivals like Saraswati Puja, Holi, and Durga Puja on our campus. Sports and cultural events are also organised, like football and dance competitions.
