The verdict

Strong fit

Medical College Kolkata is a no-brainer if you are chasing a government MBBS seat with absurdly low fees and massive clinical exposure at SSKM. The 95% placement pipeline into government and premier central institutes is rock-solid. The only real barrier is cracking NEET to get one of those 250 seats. If you are ready for the 5.5-year haul, this is peak ROI.
