The NSHM Institute of Health Sciences, Kolkata, is one of those health and allied sciences institutes which is appreciated in Kolkata and provides numerous undergraduate and postgraduate courses in areas such as pharmacy, public health and healthcare management among other. It has earned respect from students entering health sciences because of the focus on practical learning, industry relevant syllabus, and partnership with health care facilities.

Yet, best of them all, literally in all aspects of grading any college, will depend on the programme and the individual settings. Other institutions such as St. Xavier's College, and Techno India University also have strong health sciences, and allied health programs respectively and may have their own strengths in terms of faculty, facilities, or specializations. NSHM is known especially for programs that offer a lot of industry exposure, as it partners with companies like TCS and Amazon for student placements, even though other institutions may be more oriented towards research.

In relation to employment opportunities with the health Science programs, NSHM is graded among the best in relation to placements and being industry ready, therefore a best option especially for practical and placement oriented individuals.

In terms of costs, the NSHM Institute of Health Sciences, Kolkata has a moderately expensive rating depending on the program. To illustrate, the undergraduate program's tuition fee on B.Pharm is in the ball park of INR 1.3 to 1.6 Lacs per annum, and postgraduate programs such as M. Pharm cost in the regions of INR 2.3 Lacs per annum. Courses that are specialised or involve a lot of practicals and clinical work are likely to be more expensive considering the materials needed.

Also, apart from the tuition fee, it's likely that students would incur extra costs such as lab fees, materials as well as accommodation costs especially for students not residing in Kolkata. Scholarships and financial aid are also provided by NSHM to students depending on their academic performance and need which may be a factor in the reduction of costs to eligible students.
