Christ College of Nursing

About

Established in 1988, Dr. Shankarrao Chavan Government Medical College (SCGMC) in Nanded is a well-regarded government institution affiliated with the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, Nashik. Recognized by the National Medical Commission (NMC), the college has built a strong reputation over the decades, especially within the Marathwada region, for providing quality medical education and healthcare services. The primary pathway for aspiring doctors here is the undergraduate MBBS program, which has an intake of 150 students. Admission is highly competitive and is based exclusively on NEET UG scores, with seat allocation managed through state and All-India Quota counselling. For those looking to specialize further, the college also offers postgraduate MD and MS programs in various clinical and non-clinical disciplines. A key advantage of its government status is the highly subsidized fee structure; the annual tuition fee for the MBBS course is approximately ₹1.25 lakhs. Unlike engineering colleges, medical institutions don't have a traditional placement season. After completing the 4.5-year academic course, all MBBS students undertake a mandatory one-year rotating internship at the associated hospital, ensuring hands-on clinical experience. For their service, interns are provided with a stipend. Following the internship, graduates can either prepare for postgraduate entrance exams like NEET PG to pursue specialization or take up roles as medical officers in government or private healthcare facilities across the country.
