How is MCOMS

[vandanachadha]

My daughter has got admission in MCOMS, Nepal, and we are a little scared since the college is far and we have never heard of it before this. If anybody has any advice, pls write in asap, it will be much appreciated. Thanks

Dear vandanachadha,

Thats is very natural to be anxious when someone you love goes far away from home. Don't you worry she is in the safe hand - MCOMS.

Many students from abroad join MCOMS and other Nepalese Medical Colleges as well. If you want to know more about the MCOMS and want someone who could guide your daughter during her initial periods in the MCOMS we have MCOMS National Advisor to xenoMED please contact Bishnurath Giri his user ID is bishnurath he will help you by all means.

Our best wishes goes to your daughter for pursuing her career as a doctor.

Kind Regards

Oh Hi

I am one of the mcoms graduate so will be able to tell you more about mcoms.

As your daughter has already got admission i dont think you have any choice now.

This is nice college and at a very lovely place in pokhara. I really enjoyed and loved my five and half years there. Basic science is great and teachers are easily accessible as they are also residents as all of them are indians. I bet she will have anice time there. I can tell you from my experience that she will have to gear up from the very start as once student fall out it is very difficult to come back to track. Their pass rate were very good atleast during my time. Management has changed now after previous Dean left couple of years ago though it has been criticised that the new management is not as good as it used to be but still it is carrying on. Once you move to phulbari whole picture changes. It is a nice place without hostel and hospital at very good site. The problem that time was we were not getting enough patients through out the year however they have very good supply of exam cases which floods during the time of exam. I am sure things must have change now but not sure how the mishap which killed couple of patients early this year has affected its reputation. Most of the students are indians then equal numbers of sri lankans and nepalase and negligible NRIs as well.

I bet she will enjoy her stay and dont worry she is in safe hands.

Any query let me know.

Dear Maam,
First of all let me tell you ITS NOT FAR,its in Pokhara, a beautiful well developed city,2nd only to the capital.Its around 45 mins from the airport and the hospital can actually be seen from the main market(mahendra pool).
Secondly if you have heard of the Manipal group in India,its them who have opened it and its their management,their teachers.The only diff.is that the curriculum is more advanced in MCOMS as it is with all medical colleges in Nepal(as told to us by our prof.from Kasturba Medical College,manipal,India).
Teachers are good,environment is great and they take so many exams so frequently that U HAVE TO STUDY.And it's very strict.I always felt i was in my high school till i was there.About patients in the hospital,you see enough patients to learn.If your daughter feels the no.of patients is not enough she can do her Internship somewhere else,where there are more patients,i did the same.
If you are worried about ragging.Generally there is NO RAGGING IN NEPAL.So,no ragging in MCOMS also.Only time you can rag your juniors is in the official welcome party.
Students comprise mainly of Nepalis,Indians and srilankans.People from other countries are mostly NRIs.Students are friendly and the thing that impressed me most was the helping nature of the seniors,they are helping me even now, years after passing out.
Hostel,canteen are good.
Lastly,its a good place to learn.
