Great College. Great Legacy. Great Location and Lots of Clinical Exposure. Lacks in Campus.

Placements: Since it is a medical college, there are no placements in our college. But most of the students who graduate from our college and want to do a job get a job in the private sector if they want. Internship is mandatory for a period of 1 year with a stipend of 20,000.

Infrastructure: Since Shimla is a hill area, there is a shortage of land for an adequate campus. Our campus is good. Wi-Fi is only available in the library. Classrooms are good with modern facilities. There is a shortage of 2 lecture theatres. Single rooms for boys. Only 23 students will get rooms in the first year. The rest of the students will get hostels in the 2nd year. Girls' hostel has double occupancy rooms, and they get single rooms in the final year. Mess food is good in the boys' hostel but bad in the girls' hostel. The location of the hostel is very good. The girls' hostel is near Ride, and the boys' hostel is in Sanjauli. Water purifiers and geysers are good.

Faculty: IGMC is the hub of the best teachers. Lots of clinical exposure as it is the top hospital in the state. The curriculum follows NMC’s latest guidelines. The pass percentage is 50 percent aggregate in theory and practical. Attendance: 75% in theory, 80% in practical. Exams are often conducted. The level is moderate to difficult.

Other: Because I love medicine, I chose it. The annual fest, STIMULUS, is conducted every year. There’s also a Goa trip, Foundation Day, Holi Party, and sports championship.

It is a very good college with great medical exposure and very helpful beforehand experience.

Placements: There are no placements in medical colleges as such. I mean it's not like engineering colleges where companies come to the campus. It is more of an individual hustle where either you can work as an MO I. e medical officer post MBBS but for that too you have to give an exam. Or you can try for post graduation and apply for residence and ofcourse for that too you have to give an exam.

Infrastructure: Hostel and infrastructure in igmc are quite typical. Sports like volleyball, football and table tennis are available in the hostel. Mess facilities are also good. There is no canteen in the hostel. There are single bedrooms for each individual in the boys hostel whereas girls have double bedrooms as they live in sharing.

Faculty: Yes teachers are very helpful. Every teacher is qualified enough to do his/her job. Teaching quality is also very good. The course is very difficult but who says it is easy to save lives. Examination standards are quite high as they are meant to make you a ready doctor.

Other: Campus is very small since the college is built on hills. So there is no place for campus. But we really enjoy our college life.

It has amazing college life and good placements.

Placements: Almost 50-60% of the students got placed via interviews in the state government-run PHCs and CHCs. The salary offered ranges from Rs. 30,000 to 40,000 per month based on the post. After passing out, students are posted as medical officers. The rest of the students either start their post-graduation, some opt for foreign medical exams, or some opt for a drop year to prepare for NEET PG and INI CET.

Infrastructure: Our college and hospital are situated 2-3 km away from the boys and girls hostel. The college contains 5 lecture theatres, an auditorium, a cafeteria, a library cum reading room, a badminton court, dissection hall, pathology lab, pharmacology lab, physiology lab, biochemistry lab, microbiology lab and forensic lab. The hospital contains various departments of their respective specialties.

Faculty: Our teachers are beyond qualified and have in-depth knowledge of their respective subjects. The course curriculum is relevant, and it makes students ready for real-life scenarios. The difficulty level of semester exams is above average, and the pass percentage is 80-90%.

It has been a pleasure being a part of IGMC. I would recommend it to all medical aspirants.

Placements: I am a student of MBBS Class of 2014, currently doing my internship in the same hospital and will be finishing it in December 2019. The interviews for Jobs are yet to be held. Jobs are guaranteed in the interviews based on your preference of location. Salaries vary according to the area one is placed in.

Infrastructure: The lecture halls are good, college, as well as hospital, has Wi-Fi, Library is well stocked with various medical books and journals, but the seating area is less. All the departments have adequate labs and other facilities. The hostel is a little far from the college and hospital and doesn't have any facility other than rooms and mess. The quality of mesa food is below par.

Faculty: The teachers are helpful always. They are well qualified but not all of them know how to convey the things properly. Quality is average at best, a lot of self-study is required. The curriculum is relevant, but in the end, you have to put in the hard work.

Other: I chose the course as it is a noble profession and the best one. I got to see so many things regarding various aspects of the medical field and got to know about various diseases, fields, treatments and all. MBBS should be made a bit more practical, even before the internship. The theory will not get one anywhere in this field. So practical exposure should be more. Our college didn't have many extracurricular activities. We have just one college Fest- Stimulus, where many colleges participate from all over North India. Those 5 days are the best one of the whole year, undoubtedly.

Faculty and placements are great, but the infrastructure is average.

Placements: The college provided 100% placements for students who have passed out in 2018 and 2017. They got jobs under the Himachal government as there was a need of doctors in the state. As far as the salary package is concerned, doctors get handsome salary packages if they get jobs under the state government. Students can also get jobs from the central government and private hospitals. One can start their clinic and practice on their own. Some students also opt for post graduation. All the students were offered internships from the college. The stipend offered was Rs.15,000 per month along with free accommodation facilities.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi facility is available in the college library as well as the boys hostel. A basketball court and a badminton court are also available here. There are 5 lecture theatres. Almost 3 lecture theatres are great, but the rest of the two lecture theatres are not that good. Each department has its own labs. There are single occupancy rooms available in the hostel, and they are great. All the hostel rooms are well furnished. Quality of food served in the cafeteria is great, and that canteen runs under Himachal Tourism. There is no need to worry about the medical facility as it is the biggest hospital in the state. There are no playgrounds on the campus. However, there are some places near the college to play sports. The library is spacious and well-equipped.

Faculty: We have the state's or rather India's the best doctors as our teachers. Some of them have been in their field for over 20-30 years. Some are strict, but most of them are helpful. Teaching methods include both blackboard teaching and PPTs along with seminars and role plays. Overall, they conduct clinical posting including maternity and night postings for the students to get good exposure and experience.

Other: The famous fest of the college is Stimulus. It is organised for almost a week. It covers all fields of sports, literature, and cultural activities, etc. Freshers' party is organised for fresher students. The college also organises a Thankyou party. I will take just 10 minutes to reach the famous Ridge and Mall road of Shimla from the campus. Students also participate in fests of other colleges like AIIMS Delhi. The college conducts a trip to Goa in the final year.
