** Admission to PGIMS Rohtak's MBBS program requires clearing the NEET exam, followed by a counseling process overseen by the Directorate General of Health Services in Chandigarh. The academic year starts on September 1st, and achieving a good NEET rank is essential for entry. The faculty, comprising highly qualified MDs, MSs, and specialists, deliver education in subjects like microbiology, anatomy, and pharmacology. Despite a 1:250 faculty-student ratio in lectures, practical sessions offer more interaction.
The course adopts the CBME curriculum, focusing on self-directed learning and practical skills, assessed through routine and professional exams. The fee structure varies by year: ?60,000 for the first year and ?58,000 for subsequent years, with an additional ?35,000 for a compulsory internship. The total expense, including tuition and hostel fees, is under ?1 lakh annually, excluding mess charges. Being a government institute, PGIMS offers affordable education compared to private colleges, with annual fees between ?65,000 to ?80,000.
Scholarships for reserved categories are available, offering up to ?30,000 annually, contingent on parental income proof. A bond policy mandates a 7-year government service or a payment of INR 30-40 lakh. The program requires a 1-year internship after four and a half years of study, providing rotations in various departments and rural postings, enhancing practical skills. Interns earn a stipend between Rs. 17,000 to Rs. 24,000 monthly, depending on location.
Approximately 92-95% of graduates secure jobs based on their skills, in roles such as junior or senior residents or by opening private clinics. Graduates can also pursue further studies or government jobs. While the college does not offer direct placements, it prepares students for future opportunities. There are no college-provided loans, but students can seek education loans from banks. The bond policy and annual fee hikes have increased education costs, challenging financially constrained students.
