What’s happening on campus
In their own words
I have spent three and half years here and never have I grown more attached to a place. BMC was everything I wished to be. At any time, BMC has a lot going for it with diligent studying, sport events, cultural programs and occasional parties that keeps the place alive and happening. So, all in all I must say I have had a great time here in BMC and look forward to having more in the short future I have with the college
Rejal Bahadur ThapaBatch of 2014 (MBBS)This institution feels like home even though I am a foreign student. BMC has been amazing. I am living my dreams and studying a subject that I am passionate about. The sense of freedom and responsibility here ensures that we learn beyond classrooms. Their strong academic program, readily accessible faculty, and a variety of student resources create an excellent learning environment.
Priyanka MishraBatch of 2016 (MBBS)Fabulous and rewarding is how I would describe my past two years at BMC. I have felt extremely welcomed here from the beginning. The faculty and staff have been great, supporting me the entire way. I can confidently say that BMC has made me a better person. If I had the chance to do it over, I would definitely be right back at BMC.
