It is the oldest college in Asia.
Placements: Less than 1 percent of students who appear in NEET can get a government medical college. Every student gets an equal stipend, but after that, students may appear for NEET PG, and some do a job as a house staff and get a salary package that ranges from 6-8 LPA, depending on the state.
Infrastructure: All the lecture theaters, library, and labs have inbuilt Wi-Fi. The hostel is somewhat normal but not excellent. The canteen is a little bit dirty, and the food is also not good.
Faculty: Faculty members' behaviour towards students is good, and they teach with good examples. Semester exams are hard but good. The main MB exam is a little bit harder than the other state exams. The pass percentage is 50 percent, and most of the students pass the exam. Faculty members are good, and PPTs are well interactive. They have good teaching skills.
Other: I chose this course to improve my family's condition and make my family proud. The best thing about this course is to curve people, and when people go back with a smile. I think the canteen and the hostel conditions should become better. In our college, the only thing that is excellent for all students is the event.

Great reputation with a long heritage and good infrastructure.
Placements: Earlier, during government recruitments, placement was nearly 100 per cent. Right now, for the last 2-3 years, placement rates have dropped in the government sector and students have started joining private practice more. Basic government job pay after the course for GR 2 is around Rs. 33,000, or 4 LPA. Top recruiters in private are Apollo, Belle View, and Narayana. Internship is mostly in our college itself, paid by the government. Top roles offered are Nursing Deputy Superintendent, Nursing Superintendent, Senior PHN, clinical instructor, lecturer, and sister tutor.
Infrastructure: Library is available for students during class hours. Infrastructure is overall good. Good classrooms, faculty, auditorium, and exam hall are present. Hostel facilities are available. Food is provided for hostelers in canteen. The food is better than in other hostels. The hostel facilities are provided to selected students only based on their financial condition and distance from college to home. Sports, picnics, and major Puja festivals are celebrated in our college.
Faculty: Teachers are extremely knowledgeable. The faculty may be understaffed, but every faculty member is qualified and very good at guiding and teaching. And they are very helpful as well. The course is a professional course, and it does make you ready for your upcoming journey in the nursing industry. We mainly have one exam at the end of our year session. It is by the WBUHS with a moderately difficult level.

It is a great and affordable college.
Placements: Placements are not provided here, but they provide one-year mandatory internships. The stipend is very low when compared to other government colleges that give around Rs. 25000 per month. We only get Rs. 10,000 per month. Once you have completed your course, you can apply for a job as an MBBS doctor anywhere you want in India. Post-graduation is also an option.
Infrastructure: Our library is situated in a peaceful place, and it has almost all the books and magazines a medical student would need. The hostel has both two-seater and single-seater rooms. Each room has a study table, a chair, and other basic facilities. Rooms are clean. In the mess, they serve meals three times a day, with tea and snacks in the evening. PGs and rented rooms are available nearby, but they are very costly.
Faculty: Faculty members are probably the best among the medical colleges in this state. They are very helpful in clearing our doubts. During clinical postings, they provide an overview of the case and the relevant history before moving on to the diagnosis and management section.
Other: The annual festival is conducted in November. Many students are involved in social clubs, sports clubs, and NGOs like NMO India.

It is the best college in West Bengal.
Placements: Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata is considered the best college in West Bengal, and probably the best even in Eastern India, with 188 years of rich legacy, making it the oldest college in Asia. Almost 250 best students of the state, who cleared NEET are allowed to take admission in this prestigious institute, and out of them, only 110 are of unreserved category. All MBBS students have to do internships to get their degree and this internship offers a handsome package to the students. In medicine, one can start practicing once they complete MBBS while students also opt for PG for MD, MS, and DM for specialisations so there is no fixed package since it provides you humongous lucrative opportunities. since you have cleared one of the toughest exams at the UG level in India.
Infrastructure: Our college boasts of having Regional Institute of Opthalmology, which is the only one in our state making it the prime center of eye treatment. The oncology center is under construction which will open wide opportunities for cancer treatment. Along with that, we have Eden Hospital for gynecology and Green Building for gastrology and other specific OPD, along with general OPD and emergency. Classrooms are extremely spacious, and there are mainly 2 lecture halls the general lecture theatre, and anatomy lecture theatre. The Wi-Fi connection is a little bit slow. Library has a plethora of books to satisfy students' purposes. We have enough cadavers for students, a dissection hall, and our biochemistry lab is extremely furnished. Histology lab has some modern equipment and the physiology lab is also well maintained. There are 7 hostels for boys and 1 hostel for girls. The main boys' hostel is extremely spacious accommodating 4 students easily. The food is also good and reminds the students of their mother's homemade food. Medical facilities are abundant since the college is actually inside a hospital. Sports and games facilities are abundant, games like chess, table tennis, carrom, football, and cricket are being regularly organised.
Faculty: Teachers here are extremely helpful, qualified, and have a strong-hold on their respective subjects. They ensure that students can understand the concepts and they also organize small group discussions. MBBS course is a professional course and besides theory students also get exposure to the clinical part ensuring that students become skillful doctors. Semester exams are hectic with 3 internal exams and final university exams, also small exams are conducted every week, called items, which ensures that students study spontaneously.
Other: Orpheus is our hostel fest organised every year. Events like literary events and music competitions also take place regularly. The senior-junior relationship is excellent, and they voluntarily jump to help us whenever a student is in distress. There are abundant government scholarships that one can apply for.

It is the 1st medical college in India as well as Eastern Asia.
Placements: After completing the MBBS degree, students can opt to work as house staff members according to their score in the final year or can write a PG entrance exam. Though it's tough to get the desired subject in the desired college for a postgraduate degree, a number of students pass PG entrance exam very easily.
Infrastructure: Offline classes are held in lecture theatres. General lecture theatre (GLT) is the historical classroom where Dr BC Roy, Dr NR Sarkar and Dr RG Kar had attended classes once. Wi-Fi is limited to one-time use only. There is a facility for TT in GCR.
Faculty: There are 19 subjects in the MBBS course. Faculty members are competent enough to teach us. Semester exams are very much difficult to score. Pass marks, i.e., 50% of marks seem to be difficult, which is very uncommon for school going boys or girls. MB exams are easier than semester exams. There are 9 semesters and 4 MS in the entire curriculum.
Other: They didn't organise any fest since 2018 due to the political cause and Covid-19. MCK is all about Prem, Porashona and Politics.
