Accepted Answer

GMC Bhavnagar is a PURE government institution — annual fee only INR 25,000/year vs. INR 3,75,000/year at GMERS colleges (15x more expensive). No NRI quota, no management quota. It has super-specialty departments (Cardiology, Neurology, Urology, Burns & Plastic Surgery, Paediatric Surgery, Radiotherapy/Oncology) that no GMERS college offers at the UG level. The 29-department structure, 80-acre campus, 720+ bed Sir T. Hospital, 24 PG programmes, and Girls' flat-type hostel make it stand out. Student reviews confirm: 'after giving NEET you aim for a government college... even if you're getting a GMC, it's good enough than anything.'
