Placements & Internships : Internship is a must to obtain your degree and this applies to all medical colleges. The stipend at SGMC is almost ₹7000 per month. Most students after obtaining their MBBS degree will apply for higher education (MD/MS,etc). For those who will directly practice after their MBBS the average pay scale is around Rs.50,000(private practice) and much less i.e around Rs.20,000 if you join elsewhere(other private healthcare providers).

Entrance Exams & Admissions : For students of Maharashtra the best option was CET held by the state, but now as all exams have been clubbed under NEET, it is to be cracked to bag your seat at King Edward Memorial Hospital and Seth Gordhandas Sunderdas Medical College. A good rank ( under 2000 AIR ) is enough to get a seat here. At my time , I took state CET, NEET, and AIPMT. The cutoff for MBBS in my college GSMC is around 580+, the scores needed will further depend on the cutoff for respective categories(OBC,ST,SC,etc) to which a particular student belongs.

Government offers scholarship, also one can apply for a number of other scholarships like TATA scholarship programme, etc. For getting a scholarship like that provided by TATA, one has to ace the final exams. The first 3 rankers are usually selected (depending on the rules of the scholarship). The cost of education is pretty low as compared to that which needs to be paid in private medical colleges.
