Faculties are well qualified . Exams are always on time and difficulty level are moderate. Teaching method are lecture and ppt . I chose the course because of high demand of nurses in any field. Term exams are always on every 2 months
Great clinical exposure . The entrance exam is calmed jenpas . Your rank needs to under 3000 to get the college. There is no such bad aspects except some of the faculties. It has very less amount of holidays. During admission they will try to get friendly with students.
Read Full ReviewChose this course because it gives me job opportunities, faculty are quite qualified with most teachers having done MSc and multiple teachers in the process of doing PhD. Understanding teachers with a good knowledge basis and definitely the best of the best. The classes that are taken by the MBBS faculty are also great as they're also quite the cream on top when it comes to medical faculty in West Bengal. Term exams are quite timely, as per the routine given usually around a month before the exam by WBUHS. Difficulty level completely depends on the student, but generally easy-moderate.
No placement is offered, but definitely an upper hand at interviews, as the experience you gain from a super speciality hospital like SSKM is unmatched, and the faculty is quite known around nursing sector.
Read Full ReviewAcademic wise it was moderate not per how we pay but there are no extra curricular activity like sports. It takes place but in a small congested garden not even a ground. This campus is really suffocating and there's no place to refresh. Libraries are closed ater 5 as our classes ceases at 7 sometimes and faculties are very poor.
It's moderate. As for job there are good job opportunities and good employment facilities with average salaries. I plan to study futher I focus on becoming a lecturer or study abroad for better exposure
Read Full ReviewI belong from ayurved family business My father has ayurved manufacturing company and ayurved medicine has no side effects. That's why I chose BAMS ( Bachelor of Ayurved Medicine and Surgery). Faculties are all MD and HOD .
You have to complete your BAMS degree at first and then PG for better placement. Medical officer, doctor and different placement in different health centre . Kayachikitsa, prasruti, medicine, panchakarma etc department.
Read Full ReviewThe academics are pretty good here the lecturers are student-friendly but the vast syllabus you have to cope up with is unimmugable. So for students, it gets even more stressed adding to it the practicals and the viva exams you have to go through are very tiring
There are government jobs like medical officers and residential medical officers which each state gives a list of vacancies also you can do PG after the UG in which you are paid a salary of a minimum of 60k.
Read Full ReviewAs we all know that MBBS is very reputed course , and our college fulfils all the criteria which makes it one of the best college in the State. The proffesers are highly qualified and teaching methods are completely offline i.e. convention classroom teaching
After 4.5 years of internship, every student in bound to do a year of mandatory internship, where we a paid a decent amount depending upon the college and state where the college is situated . In west bengal the amount varies somewhere around 25k
Read Full ReviewI think the other general courses are very hard than these. And I want the perfect amount of my life to survive my life in very comfort. It is easy than the other general courses and enough for me. In my school the teacher love me and very familiar to me. And I always try to be best in my. So I read properly to get success. The teachers are literally best to clear doubts. They teachers us in a simple and good method. They clear our doubts more than 1000 times. We conversation between us very comfortly. Exams are difficult. But when a student read properly the exam is not difficult to him enough. If we don't read then the exam will become hard to us. We should face hard questions outside of our books. So we always not get the easy questions. I will read the difficult level of the questions 7.5/10. It is clear that there is a high level cost to study in this university but they also help us by many type of scholarships. Me and the other students join the scholarships to assist ourself.
Plans after completing a course could include pursuing further education, seeking employment in the field of study, starting a business, or pursuing other opportunities. It's important to have a clear understanding of your career goals and develop a plan to achieve them. Some visited recruiters are- Burdwan Medical College, SSKM Hospital, Narayana Hospital etc. The percentage must be 85. To do government job after getting the degree.
Read Full ReviewIt is a four year course with six months of internship (paid internship). Semester wise exam is there. Scholarship program are available for economically weaker group. Faculties are very talented and highly knowledgeable.
Job placements are there. With this course you have a lots of job opportunities like you can work in private clinics or in hospitals. You can also apply for lectureship and can also work as research fellow. You can also run your own clinic
