B.Sc. in Perfusion Technology - Batch of 2026

4.4

Perfusion technology in IPGME&R and SSKMH - A beautiful journey .

Placements: All the students from our course were placed. 15k per month was the lowest package, and 30k per month with lodging and food was the highest. Students were recruited at reputed institutes like R.N. Tagore, CMRI, and Apollo Hospital, where cardiac surgery is performed. All students get to do an internship at the college and get approximately 10k per month as a stipend during the internship. Though you get a degree as a perfusionist, you can also be offered roles like critical care technologist and operation theatre technologist.

Infrastructure: We have a well-equipped lecture theatre with projectors, computers, AC, green boards, speakers, and microphones. There is also a dissection hall and other practical rooms where you can gain experience in your practical work. You also get to work in a real cardiac ICU and OT. You get great exposure. There are four canteens and many other fast-food stores on campus. We have fields where you can play cricket, soccer, or badminton. A gym is also available. There is a central library, and we also have an in-department library. However, a hostel is not offered for our course.

Faculty: The teaching quality of the professors is good, and all of them are highly educated doctor professors. Yes, the course curriculum is relevant and makes students industry-ready. There are no semester exams, but there is an annual exam, and it is not very tough. You can pass the exam easily if you invest a couple of hours a day in studies. The pass percentage is almost 80-90%.

Other: I chose this course as an alternative to NEET because I wanted to be in the medical field. The best thing about this course is that you get to enter the cardiac ICU and OT, where doctors get to enter after qualifying for a specialization course. There is an annual fest in our college called CRUX. You will get well-connected in the medical field if you enter this college. You can get a scholarship of ₹60k per year through SVMCM if you fulfill its criteria. Extracurricular activities include seminars at different medical institutions, and you also present your self-made presentations.

Diploma in Radiography - Batch of 2021

4.2

Absolutely dissatisfied because of no placement system like engineering colleges.

Placements: After 12th board from Science background, one have to appear in entrance exam conducted by state medical faculty of west Bengal. You have to secure good score or rank in the exam to get admission in government medical colleges. There are total 13 departments and Radiography is one of them. In my department, there are 35 seats for one year in our departments. Two years Diploma course with 6 month internship, total duration 2.5 years. Only 2000 per month stipend is provided during internship period. After passing out, you have to find your job by yourself. There is no campusing system like engineering. IPGMER is a most popular institution in Bengal, so students of this institution get priority in private hospitals for jobs. The Salaries is not much in this field. There are only 15-20k per month is given in private sector to freshers.

Infrastructure: There is not any hostel provided to Diploma students. If you are doing B.Sc. course, then you will get hostels. Besides we can use other facilities like canteen, play ground, library etc. There is free Wi-Fi available in our departments. Food in canteen is pretty good. One can play outdoor games as well with indoors.

Faculty: All Teachers are qualified doctors. MD Professors take our class. Their knowledeis huge. One can learn a lot of things from respected teachers. Students are prepared for practical experience beside theoretical knowledge. Class test or final exam is not so difficult. One can passed easily if he attend all classes and studied little bit. About 90% students passed in exam.

Other: I always want to be a doctor. The students who can not crack NEET it is a alternative for such students. The employee of our departments are called Medical Technologist. The guys who are interested in medical field can choose this if he/she failed in NEET exam. U can enjoying your life with some lovely college friends. One advise: government should recruit medical technologists regularly ( once in every year). .
