A medical college should be judged on more than its fee figure. For students considering Bangladesh, the important questions are who the college is affiliated with, how the MBBS course is organised, where clinical training takes place, what the published cost actually covers, and what recognition and licensing checks are relevant to the studentβs home country.
Diabetic Association Medical College, Faridpur (DAMCF) started its journey on 15 November 2009 and opened its doors to students in the 2009β2010 academic year. The college is established by Faridpur Diabetic Association Trust and is affiliated with the University of Dhaka. It is recognised by the Bangladesh Medical & Dental Council (BM&DC), approved by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, and listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools. The college follows the MBBS curriculum laid down by the University of Dhaka and BM&DC, while the University of Dhaka conducts the professional examinations and awards the MBBS degree.
The MBBS programme is five years in duration, with English as the medium of instruction for foreign students. The attached Diabetic Association Medical College Hospital provides the clinical setting for practical learning and internship training. The college's current website also shows active academic events and skills-based teaching activities in 2026. ξciteξturn0search1ξturn0search2ξturn0search4ξ
For foreign students, the college currently publishes a total package of US$42,000. This includes a US$21,500 admission fee, US$1,900 internee fee, US$15,000 tuition for the full MBBS course and US$3,600 for five years of AC hostel accommodation. Food, University of Dhaka professional examination fees and the fourth-year study tour are separate.

The college also publishes a four-installment payment schedule for foreign students: US$15,000 before admission, followed by US$9,000 before the second, third and fourth years. The college states that fees are non-refundable and that students continuing in the hostel after five years pay the accommodation rate applicable at that time.
The strongest reason to consider DAMCF is not a marketing label; it is the combination of an established institution, University of Dhaka affiliation, a regulated MBBS programme and an attached teaching hospital. The college says it began in 2009 and now reports 443 MBBS graduates, 16 student batches and 127+ faculty and staff.
The clinical side is equally important. The college's current department pages describe bedside teaching and clinical learning across Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Orthopaedics, Psychiatry, ENT and other areas. The institution also highlights a 500-bed hospital in its current information. ξciteξturn0search4ξturn0search7ξ
There is, however, a practical point students should not overlook: the headline foreign-student package is not the same thing as a complete personal living budget. Food and certain academic expenses sit outside the US$42,000 figure. That should be factored into the financial plan before admission.
