E Devadathan's Review On Government Medical College, Kozhikode

The hostel and college infrastructure are a little poor compared to other colleges but it is expected with the minimal fees given. There are a lot of festivals and programs and a healthy political atmosphere. The non violent conflicts between the two opposing parties lead to good development in the college.

The course curriculum is a bit tight scheduled. We dont get much off days and there are lots to study. We have 9 semesters in the span of 4. 5 years. University exams are conducted in the end of the academic year. Internal assessments are conducted year round.

The college provides one year internship with stipend. There is no campus placement. We should apply on our own. There is option for pg if we crack the entrance. Pg also comes with a stipend. We can get into govt. jobs if we crack PSC exams.

Interbatch arts competitions, annual carnival, college day, mini carnival for first years We also go for intercollege arts and sports and come in the top 2 most of the time. "Curios" fest is done every year for institute of palliative care of our college. Small events like teachers day are celebrated with performers.

The fee structure is very feasible. We have Rs. 25000 annual fees. We give 10000 as PTA fund on the time of admission. Books for a year cost around 5000. Hostel fees is Rs. 10000 per year for stay, food cost is seperate-Rs 75 per day

There is various scholarships for Other backward castes for fee reduction. Hostel fees for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe students are free. There is no other specific scholarships as such.

Gender ratio is almost 1:1. Free coaching facilities are given for sports like basketball, volleyball, football etc. There is a gym facility seperate for each sex. The college has a good attitude towards homosexuality. Politics is very strong but there is no violent conflicts as such. There are annual athletic meets

Infrastructure of hostels are quite average. Room is shared between 5 students. Room size is average. There is not much space to move around. There is no curfew time for males. But females need to get back before 9:30pm. PG students get single room hostel. It is gender mixed for them

The alumni network is very helpful in getting us informed about the various programs and charity events conducted in our college. Our seniors give us occational classes before exams if asked to. They also help us on our seminars and assignments.

Got in by cracking neet. Applied to this college through keralacee site. No interview was required. I have always dreamed of becoming a doctor since a young age. I chose this course due to the stability of getting a job and the servicing attitude of the job.

The faculty are well qualified. They are doctors. They are very enthusiastic in teaching us. Most of them offer good quality lectures. The profeesors have multiple degrees. They have years of teaching experience.
