Hostel Available — Major W

On-campus hostel is a go, which is clutch in Kolkata. Heads up: there are no institutional scholarships, so budget your living expenses accordingly.

The verdict

Good fit

If you’re a PCB student craving affordable, hands-on lab training at one of India’s most iconic medical colleges, this program is a solid bet. The fee structure is genuinely unbeatable, hostel life is sorted, and you get direct exposure to hospital diagnostics. Just go in knowing the starting salary is modest and you’ll likely need to upskill or pursue higher studies for bigger leaps.
