It is associated with the Srimanta Sankaradeva University of Health Sciences and holds recognition from the National Medical Commission (NMC). GMCH provides a variety of undergraduate, postgraduate, and diploma courses in Medicine and Health Sciences. The MBBS program is the cornerstone offering at GMCH, with a total of 200 seats available. The tuition fee for the MBBS course is about INR 1.19 lakhs in total, with an annual fee hovering around INR 24,000. To qualify, students should have completed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English, securing at least 50% marks. Admission is granted based on performance in the NEET-UG exam, followed by centralized counseling conducted by the Directorate of Medical Education, Assam. Unlike many private colleges, GMCH does not offer a formal campus placement system, a common scenario with government medical colleges. Nevertheless, MBBS students must undergo a one-year mandatory rotating internship during the final phase of their degree at GMCH Hospital or other affiliated health centers, for which they receive a fixed monthly stipend. The institution is well-regarded in the region for delivering quality medical education and practical exposure through its programs, contributing to the healthcare sector efficiently.
