Bangladesh Medical College sits in Dhanmondi, a central institutional district of Dhaka, Bangladesh's capital. The college's own admission circular places its government-set intake at 120 seats per year, with foreign-student admission capped at 45 percent of a college's total allocated seats under national policy. The attached Bangladesh Medical College Hospital anchors clinical training within the same Dhanmondi campus. Clinical training runs through the college's own attached Bangladesh Medical College Hospital, a 600-bed teaching hospital with 217 general beds, 293 paid beds, 31 cabins and 60 free beds, including a Community Welfare and Health Care Centre building, an Outpatient Department, a Modern Accident and Emergency Department and its own oxygen plant. Named clinical departments include Gynae and Obstetrics, Cardiology, Dermatology, ENT, Gastroenterology, Endocrinology, Nephrology, Neuro Medicine, Ophthalmology, Orthopedic Surgery, Paediatrics, Neurosurgery, Psychiatry, Radiology and Imaging, Radiotherapy and Oncology, Urology, Transfusion Medicine, Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine. The five academic years, organized into four professional phases, are followed by a compulsory one-year logbook-based rotatory internship that must be completed within twelve years of first admission. ## Hostel, food and safety The college operates a Dhanmondi hostel with furnished rooms, free WiFi, washing machine, refrigerator, TV, 24-hour security, a 24-hour attendant and CCTV coverage. Published foreign-student monthly rates run from USD 160 for non-AC rooms up to USD 190 for a single AC room, with double and triple AC rooms priced between. Food service is included among the hostel facilities, though no separate mess-fee figure is published. Because the college's official tuition figure for foreign students is unavailable, daily food and living costs should be planned as a distinct budget line pending a direct fee quote from the college. The college's hostel facilities include 24-hour security service, a 24-hour attendant and CCTV coverage. No dedicated international-student safety office or emergency-contact programme is separately published on official pages reviewed. Foreign-student admission is coordinated centrally through the Government of Bangladesh's Directorate General of Medical Education (DGME) online portal, which sets the eligibility criteria, application window and seat allocation that Bangladesh Medical College follows for its foreign intake. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Bangladesh Medical College recognized by BMDC and the WHO?
