IPGMER Kolkata Faculty Profile

The experience and knowledge of the faculties here is unimaginable. Most of them were University toppers and had excellent academical and teaching records. They are not just teachers for us, they are mentors who guide us whenever we need support. In formal lecture theatre teaching, the higher professors teach us by PPT and explain everything by drawing diagrams on the blackboard. There are around 20-30 faculty members in every non-clinical subjects and around 50 teachers in clinical subjects for 200 students in each batch. So there is a very favourable student-to-teacher ratio balance as 1 teacher takes practical tutorial classes with a group of 10 individuals.Read Full Review

There are total 19 departments about the MBBS curriculum. Among the faculties, there are posts like Head of the Department, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor and Demonstrator. Every faculty member is always ready to help us whenever we need them. Even outside the lecture hours, any student can go to the respected faculty member's room and clear their doubts from the respected teachers. Not only in study, they are also there to give us emotional support whenever someone asks them or tell them about their problems. All teachers use modern infrastructures like projectors to teach us, audio-visual techniques are well used to teach us. Teachers always help us understand everything regarding Practicals, OPD and Wards and even in the Operation Theatres. Teachers always use practical knowledge for teaching and show us real life medical cases for our better understanding. It really is the best teaching technique according to me. They all are doctors who have completed MD after MBBS. Post graduate teachers who are pursuing MD currently also teach us in practicals and OPDs.Read Full Review
