Dislikes

  • The college campus is not closed it has an open campus. Which means the different buildings of the institution are not at one place these are scattered all over the town.
  • Through we have a lot of infrastructure we don't have that much space. And the building is seemingly old.

Course Curriculum Overview :

The course if MBBS is very large as it has 19 subjects. The course is 5.5 yrs long in which the final year is internship. Due to its large syllabus the tests and exams occurs frequently. In this course the first year is pre clinical second and third year is para clinical and the fourth year is of clinical subjects. The teaching method consists of both thoery and practical. From 2nd year onwards we get to have the clinical exposure as we have our clinical postings in various departments in the hospital.

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :

Fee structure of IGMC College fees - 60,000 per annum Hostel fess - 24,000 per annum (excluding mess charges), (you get your own room in the boys hostel). During the internship you get a stipend of around 20,000 per month. There are aslo various scholarships provided by the HP govt.

Campus Life :

The campus is kind of open so the experience is a little different, it all depends on how you tend to enjoy it. In our college throughout the year various social activities occurs, the largest of them being the college annual fest going by the name of stimulus, its is a quite popular fest in the state of himachal Pradesh. The college is seemingly old but it has all the required infrastructure. The college library also has a lot of facilities from study area to a range of journals and publications. One thing in which the college lacks is sport. Though there is a badminton court in the middle of college building, outside of that there in not much due to the lack of open spaces in shimla.

Hostel Facilities :

Hostel facilities are quite good in this college. The boys and girls hostel are on seperate locations. In boys hostel you get your own private room from the first year onwards, you can keep your own vehicle if you want, parking space is available in the hostel area. In the girls hostel 2 students have to share a room, they get their own private room in the final year only. The hostel fee is 24000 per year (excluding mess charges). The hostel life is quite interactive you get to interact with your seniors as well as you juniors. There are also various sports activities conducted in the hostel area every year.

Admission :

The admission was like any other medical College, you have to appear in NEET. Cutoff of IGMC Shimla For HP bonafide students - 610 (unreserved) For students from other states - 660 (unreserved) After getting the college in the counselling you will get a call letter. The day of admission is very hectic as you have to do various medical tests and vet them signed by various departments. You will have to roam around the hospital amidst a large crowd of patients, just to get the sign. It will help if on the day of admission all the required sign can be done in one place.

Faculty :

The faculty to student ratio is quite good in this college. There are more than enough faculty members at each hierarchy level, from the Professors to the postgraduate students level of the respective department. In a medical college a professor is also a Doctor so each of the faculty member is definitely well versed in their speciality. Also faculty members are very interactive depsite having a busy schedule

Course Curriculum Overview:

1. **Relevance**: - The curriculum is highly relevant as it covers essential subjects like anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, pathology, and clinical subjects like medicine, surgery, and pediatrics. These are critical for understanding the human body, disease mechanisms, and patient care. - It also includes community medicine, which emphasizes public health and preventive medicine, important for addressing health issues at a population level. 2. **Comprehensiveness**: - The curriculum is comprehensive in covering a wide range of topics necessary for a solid medical education.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Faculty here is really nice .Some of them love to teach ,you can see the passion in their eyes They actually care especially 1st year faculty members. Faculty student ratio is appropriate in my opinion,in general we have 3 assistant prof.,1 additional,1associate and 1 head of the department plus JRs,SRs. Faculty members are really qualified and are passed out from prestigious colleges which makes you feel respect for them even more. Term exams are conducted after 3-4 months and you really have to study ,they consume you but you'll pass if you study.They aren't difficult per se but the syllabus is vast which is quite a challenge.
