Medical Collages of Bhutan
The Khesar Gyalpo University of Medical sciences of Bhutan is the first medical collage of Bhutan with an amazing tutors who have a PHD degree and teach with compassion and full dedication. I believe that as a health care giver, these is a quality which which should be innate.
Medical college of Bhutan
Overall, I found the collage very interactive where the students learn and grow.
Very Good
My academic journey at Royal Thimphu College has been both rewarding and transformative. Throughout my studies, I maintained consistent academic performance, achieving an overall result of around 60% in each semester. This reflects my steady commitment to learning, time management, and balancing academic responsibilities with extracurricular involvement. Beyond academics, RTC provided me with valuable opportunities to grow as a leader. In my second year, I was elected as the BA Representative, where I served as a bridge between students and faculty, strengthening my communication, organization, and problem-solving skills. In my third year, I further developed these abilities by serving as the Student Government Secretary. In this role, I was actively involved in planning student initiatives, supporting institutional activities, and representing student interests in a responsible and professional manner. These experiences at Royal Thimphu College helped me build confidence, leadership capacity, and a strong sense of accountability. They also prepared me to adapt to diverse academic environments and work collaboratively with people from different backgrounds. I believe the academic foundation and leadership exposure I gained at RTC have equipped me well for higher studies abroad, and I am motivated to continue growing both academically and personally at an international university.
