Government Medical College Kannur
Likes
- The college infrastructure is really great. We've got a hospital block with 8 floors with separate wards for each department. The general medicine wards cover almost whole of the 7th and 8th floor. And the number of patients who can be admitted for in patient care is very large. The ICU block is also really huge where the patients are admitted for intensive care. There is a lecture theatre inside the hospital where the professors conduct lecture classes expecially for the final year students in all the clinical subjects apart from the regular clinical postings.
- The academic block has got 5 floors and in each floor we've a separate department operating. The labs are well equipped and the lecture halls have good audio visual aids for better communication between the professors and the students. There is also a museum and skill lab operating in the academic block. The kill lab is very useful as it is where we can give CPR simulator exercises and various other maneuvers too in mannequins
Dislikes
- Despite having good amenities and patient load, the location of the college is somewhat distant from the town area. The nearest town is 15 kms away. That kind of makes it difficult for the hostel inmates to travel to the railway station at the time of holidays to go home.
- There's an issue of water scarcity occurring during the summer months.
Remarks :
Being a government Medical College, the allotment of seats in this institution is solely based on the merit list published by the CEE after the national rank list of NEET UG is out. In Kerala, there was around 10 government colleges at the time of my admission. After some research in the Web and discussing with people who is familiar with this, I came to know that the patient load in this college is better than several others as this is the only tertiary health centre for 2 districts of Kerala, namely Kannur and Kasargod. So the abundance of patients is almost comparable to the other top Government colleges and hence when I got alloted a seat in this college I took it.
Course Curriculum Overview :
As we all know MBBS is a very lengthy course, spanning for 5.5 years. Despite being long there is no time to waste as well. The latest curriculum, as of the 2023 NMC update, is in a way that in first year there are 3 subjects - Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry In 2nd year Pathology, Microbiology and Pharmacology In 3rd year- PSM and Forensic medicine In final year, there's all the clinical subjects coming together- ENT, Ophthalmology, General Medicine, General Surgery, Paediatrics and Obstetrics & Gynecology The faculty are all among the best doctors of the state, with top qualifications. The exams are conducted in an yearly basis. At the end of each semester there is University exams and you need to clear all papers to be able to appear for the subsequent year's exam
Internships Opportunities :
I haven't applied for any internships during my UG period, so I don't have a first hand experience in that to review. But you can volunteer for several public health camps conducted by the community medicine department or any other departments if you have the time. There will be no stipend for volunteering activities though.
Placement Experience :
After academics, that is if you pass the final year exams, you have to do one year of compulsory rotatory internship. During this period you'll be paid a stipend of 27k. And after this one year, you can work as a Medical Officer in a Government hospital, where you'll get around 45k monthly salary or as a General Practitioner in which case you'll be paid depending on the number of hours or patient load. The salary package varies depending on the place you work but the government salary is almost constant, that is 45k.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
The annual tuition fee is Rs. 26500 for all students. In addition certain miscellaneous fee, maintenance fee, hostel rent, van fee etc might come along with it. Overall the fee would be around 30,000 per year, all inclusive. There are scholarships available also. The most common scholarship availed by the students is the egrantz, which is available for students belonging to OBC, OEC, SC, ST and also the General category students with an annual family income less than 1 lakh per annum. Under this scholarship, the academic fee along with the additional annual fee and also the mess fee will be covered.
Campus Life :
The campus life is very colorful indeed. The major fests conducted are : Interbatch arts and sports with the name Talentia - which is conducted every year around September or October. That's the biggest event of the year which is 10 days long. Apart from that there are several other events too. Fresher's day will be conducted every year, one month after the new batch joins which would be an event where there are cultural events and several ice breakers as well. And then there will be the union day, which is the day when the elected Student's union of the respective academic year officially takes charge. Then there is the convocation which is like the mega event of all. Then there will be additional events like North Zone Arts and Intermedicos where different colleges across Kerala host each year. The library is really spacious. There are different sections namely for reading and research. The research library has an abundant collection of books for all stages, whether UG, PG pr SS
Hostel Facilities :
There's college hostel facility available for each student taking admission. The college hostels, separate for men and women, are situated within 500 metres from the academic block for the ease of commute. There's also buses offering shuttle services during the peak times like lunch breaks. The hostel building is large with a capacity to accommodate around 400 students every year. The distribution of rooms is in such a way that in first year the student will be a room shared by three, in 2nd year a room shared by 7, in 3rd year shared by 2 and in final year 1 or 2 depending on individual preferences. The hostel is very much affordable that the mess charge comes to only around Rs.100 per day. It covers 3 meals a day plus tea and snacks in the evening. There is an air conditioned study hall and also a gym inside the hostel complex.

Sct review
Course Curriculum Overview :
I chose Computer Science and Engineering (AI & ML) because of my interest in technology, programming, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. The curriculum follows KTU regulations and covers both theory and practical subjects. Most faculty members are qualified . Internal exams and semester exams are conducted on time. The difficulty level is moderate to a lil bit high and students who attend classes regularly can perform well.
