Grant Medical College and Sir J. J. Group of Hospitals

GMCSJJGH is in Mumbai, Maharashtra. It was set up in 1845 and is a public/government institution. This page pulls together what the college has on record — courses, fees, admission route, placements and rankings — so you can size it up in one read instead of opening six tabs.

Choosing a college is mostly a question of fit, and fit is specific: the branch you want, what it costs your family, how you get in, and what people who finish it end up doing. A brochure answers none of those honestly. What follows is drawn from GMCSJJGH's own submitted record, with the gaps left visible rather than filled in.

Where a college sits matters more than students expect. Mumbai shapes which companies visit for internships, what living costs on top of fees, how far you are from home, and what there is to do on a weekend. GMCSJJGH has been running since 1845, which usually means an alumni network worth something in that region.

GMCSJJGH at a glance

Anything absent from that table has not been reported by the college on this record — it is a gap in the data, not a zero.

What you can study at GMCSJJGH

GMCSJJGH runs 8 programmes. If your subject is not in that list, this is not the college for you — however good its overall reputation.

Those totals are for the whole course, not per year, and they cover tuition. Hostel, mess and one-time charges are billed separately, so ask for the all-in figure before you compare colleges — two institutions quoting similar tuition can differ by lakhs once residence is counted.

Fees are also the part most reduced by things you may already qualify for. Category concessions, income-linked waivers, institute merit scholarships and national schemes on the National Scholarship Portal all apply to tuition, and they stack more often than families assume. Work out your number after those, not before.

What studying at GMCSJJGH actually costs

Tuition is only part of the bill. A realistic budget adds hostel and mess if you are staying on campus, one-time admission and caution charges in the first year, exam and lab fees each semester, books and equipment for your branch, travel home a few times a year, and ordinary day-to-day spending. Families who plan on the tuition figure alone are usually surprised by the end of the first year.

Work the number out over the full course rather than per year, because that is how the decision actually lands — a two-year gap in fees between two colleges is a different conversation from a two-year gap in living costs. Then subtract what you may not have to pay. Government institutions carry statutory category concessions and income-linked remissions that are applied at the fee counter, often without a separate application. National schemes on the National Scholarship Portal apply on top of whatever the college gives, and that combination is usually where the real saving sits. The fees and scholarships tabs above carry this college's own figures.

If you are taking an education loan, start the conversation with the bank before counselling rather than after. Sanction takes time, banks ask for the admission letter and the fee structure, and counselling deadlines are short. A loan that is approved in principle before you need it removes the worst kind of pressure from the week of admission.

Getting into GMCSJJGH

Admission runs through National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test. As a government institution, seats are usually allotted through a centralised counselling process rather than a college-level list, so your rank does most of the work. The exam sets your timeline for the whole year, so work backwards from its date.

As a government institution, admission here runs through centralised counselling. Seats are allotted by rank against category, and reservation applies as notified — so the rank that gets you in depends on your category and, for state institutions, often on your domicile as well. There is usually more than one round: an early allotment, then upgrades as students above you take seats elsewhere. Do not treat a first-round result as final, and do not surrender a held seat before you understand what freezing, floating and sliding mean in that counselling system.

Two things catch people out every cycle. The first is documents: income and category certificates have issue-date rules, and a certificate that is a few months too old is refused at verification. The second is the gap between a result and a counselling deadline — often only a few days, and not enough time to arrange anything you have not already got.

What students earn

The average sits at ₹10 lakh, and that is the number worth planning around — a headline package is a single offer to a single student, while the average describes the batch. Placement figures across Indian higher education are self-reported, so treat them as a guide and ask for branch-wise numbers rather than the college-wide one.

It is also worth asking what "placed" counts. Some colleges report the share of students who registered for placements rather than the whole batch, which is a very different denominator. And a package is a cost-to-company figure, not take-home — the gap between the two is usually substantial once you subtract variable pay and benefits.

Is GMCSJJGH right for you?

No page can answer that, but these four checks come closest, and each has its own tab above with this college's own figures behind it:

• The branch, not the college. Teaching and placements vary a lot between branches on the same campus.
• The all-in cost. Total fees plus hostel and living expenses, minus any scholarship or category waiver you qualify for.
• The admission route. Which exam, when it is held, and what rank has historically been enough.
• A visit if you can manage it. Go on a working day. Photographs are chosen; a campus in use is not.

One more thing worth saying plainly: a college is not a verdict on you. Students do well from institutions far down every ranking table and badly from institutions at the top of them, because what you do across three or four years matters more than the name on the certificate. Use the numbers to rule out places that clearly do not fit, then choose from what is left on the things you can actually live with — the branch, the cost and the distance from home.
