Health care

The B. C. Roy Technology Hospital is located at the center of the Campus. It provides indoor and outdoor medical facilities for common ailments. However, a few specialized visiting medical practitioners regularly attend the outdoor chambers. The Hospital has its round the clock emergency medical attendance arrangement, and a 24x7 medicine counter. Complicated cases are referred for treatment to the State Hospital or to the Railway Hospital or to Hospitals in Kolkata. The Institute has Students’ Medical Insurance Coverage which is obligatory on the part of the students and which usually covers a part of medical expenses for such referred cases.  24 hours Institute ambulance service is also available for the purpose of shifting the patients to other hospitals for better management.  A few specialized medical practitioners are also available around the IIT campus for private consultation; this list of neighbourhood medical facilities is posted at http://noticeboard.iitkgp.ernet.in/hospi.htm
