Cutoffs (Recent & Expected)

Here are some recent cutoff trends and what can be expected for 2025:

• In Round 1 of 2025 NEET UG (MBBS), the general category closing rank for BMC in West Bengal state counselling was ~ 20,946. 

• Earlier rounds and in All India Quota had somewhat lower (better) closing ranks. 

• For neighbouring years (2023, 2024) the closing ranks for general category were in ranges somewhat better (i.e. lower rank numbers) in earlier rounds, indicating competition tends to tighten as rounds progress. 

Expected for 2025:

• General category might need an all-India / state rank somewhere between ~ 18,000 to 25,000 depending on whether it’s Round 1, state quota or AIQ.

• Reserved categories (OBC / SC / ST / EWS) will have higher (worse) closing ranks, giving more leeway but still requiring solid NEET UG marks.

Placements & Internship

• MBBS students complete a compulsory one-year rotatory internship post the academic study. This gives exposure across major clinical departments.

• After PG degrees, many graduates take up Junior Resident / Resident positions in government or teaching hospitals. BMC’s clinical exposure is high given the large hospital attached.

• Super-speciality training (DM etc.) is limited in seats, but those who obtain them generally have strong opportunities in teaching hospitals or specialist clinics.

• Being a government institution, monetary compensation (stipends in PG / residency / internship) follows government norms.

Ranking & Reputation

• Burdwan Medical College is well-regarded in West Bengal among government medical colleges, especially for its clinical exposure, senior faculty, and hospital facilities.

• It is one of the older colleges in the state (established 1969), with a large campus and hospital capacity. 

• In many college comparison/ranking listings, BMC holds a strong position among state medical colleges. Some data suggest rankings around #200-#250 among medical colleges nationally (varies by ranking agency). 

Strengths & Challenges

Strengths:

• Government-run, so fees are much lower than private colleges.

• Good number of MBBS and PG seats.

• Strong reputation, solid infrastructure, large hospital with plenty of patients → good clinical exposure.

• Offers super-speciality (DM) options, which is a plus.

Challenges:

• Competition is stiff, especially for general category or popular specialities.

• Cutoffs can rise sharply in later rounds.

• Facilities like hostel, amenities might be under pressure due to large student intake.

• For DM / super speciality seats, availability is limited.

Final Thoughts

If you aim for MBBS in 2025, Burdwan Medical College is a strong option. To improve chances: try to secure a NEET-UG rank significantly better than previous closing ranks (i.e. well under ~ 20,000 for general category in state quota, if possible). Keep backup options too. For PG, choosing less competitive specialities or in reserved categories might help. Overall, BMC balances affordability, reputation, and clinical opportunity very well.
