Gauhati Medical College and Hospital

Gauhati Medical College and Hospital in Guwahati, established in 1960, is one of the principal medical institutions of Northeast India. Its attached hospital is among the largest referral centres in the region, drawing patients from across Assam and the neighbouring hill states, which gives MBBS students exposure to a volume and variety of cases few colleges can match. As a state government college recognised by the NMC and graded 'A' by NAAC, its fees are nominal compared with private medical education, making its seats intensely contested in NEET counselling — it is the first-choice college for most Assam medical aspirants. Guwahati itself is the Northeast's largest city, convenient for coaching, research exposure and connectivity. It suits students who want maximum clinical experience at government cost and can secure the high rank required.
