Curriculum
Medical Curriculum
MBBS course is for five years (ten semesters) plus one year Internship. The
subjects covered include Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Pathology, Microbiology,
Pharmacology, Community Medicine, Ophthalmology, Oto-rhino-laryngology (ENT),
Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Paediatrics. Clinical postings will
start from the fourth semester onwards. Internal assessment marks (60%) and final
examination marks (40%) will determine the progress through the course. There will be
several examinations throughout the course and one has to pass the examinations in
all the subjects every year in order to move forward to the next academic year. If any
candidate fails in any year, he/ she will have to clear the failed subjects before advancing
to the next academic year. 50% is the minimum mark required for a pass in each subject.
More than the knowledge to be procured, a medico gets transformed from an ordinary
individual to a doctor. This metamorphosis requires a painful and dedicated training and
disciplining of the mind and body.
Campus Discipline
There will be no ragging in the campus. The freshers will be mentored by
the senior students. Morning assembly will be held at 7:30 am on all working days which
is compulsory for all staff and students. After the assembly, students will have to be in
the class room at exactly 8.00 am. Unauthorized absenting from class or coming late for
the class will entail a fine. Clinical students will have round the clock duties in the wards.
Hostel discipline will be rigidly followed.
Vacation
There will be spans of vacation at the end of each semester after the final
examinations. Students who go home for weekend can leave the hostels only after 4.00

Communication can be verbal or non-verbal. Communication includes
Listening, Talking, Touching and Auscultating (LTTA). Behaviour of a professional can
make or destroy his credibility. Personality is decided not only by the external appear-
ance, but more by the approach towards others.
Epilogue
Admission to the course is the beginning of a great saga to reach your
destination. Dress well, behave well, show humility, don’t waste time, learn to be a good
listener, talk gently to others, work hard, avoid too much of leisure, respect the feeling
and emotions of others, consider your patient as a human being with a body and mind
and show empathy towards them. Respect your teachers, your seniors and colleagues.
Treat your fellow students with respect. Be prepared to take up the challenges of the
profession. With a little care, you will come out with much better wisdom, intelligence,
knowledge, maturity and professionalism to lead a life of a doctor in a way that Hippo-
crates preached and practiced and would have wanted us all to lead.
