| Programme | Duration | Seats | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| MBBS | 5.5 years (4.5 yrs academic + 1 yr internship) | 145 | Not published in AMU's official Guide to Admissions; JNMC being a central-university constituent college, fees follow AMU's centrally notified fee schedule and should be confirmed on the AMU/amucontrollerexams.com admission portal at the time of counselling |
At the postgraduate level, JNMC offers MD across 16 specialisations (Anaesthesiology, Anatomy, Biochemistry, Community Medicine, Forensic Medicine, General Medicine, Microbiology, Paediatrics, Pathology, Pharmacology, Physiology, Pulmonary Medicine, Radiation-Oncology, Radio-diagnosis, Dermatology-Venereology-Leprosy, and Psychiatry), MS across 5 specialisations (General Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Ophthalmology, Orthopaedics, and Otorhinolaryngology), and a PG Diploma in Ophthalmology, all confirmed against AMU's Guide to Admissions Supplement-M 2025-26. Super-speciality training is available in M.Ch. (Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Neuro Surgery) and DM (Cardiology). Admission to all PG and super-speciality courses runs through NEET-PG/SS counselling conducted by the MCC/DGHS. Per-specialisation seat numbers for the regular MD/MS courses are not published in the admissions guide (only combined specialisation lists), so they are left unconfirmed here rather than sourced from aggregator listings.
JNMC is registered on NIRF's official portal under the parent institution name "Aligarh Muslim University" in the Medical category, holding Rank 29 with a score of 58.82 in the NIRF 2025 rankings (nirfindia.org, published September 2025). This should not be confused with a separately ranked, differently located "Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College" at Rank 46 (Belagavi, Karnataka), which is an unrelated KLE University institution. AMU as a whole is NAAC-accredited at A+ grade (CGPA 3.35); NAAC accreditation applies at the central-university level and does not issue a separate grade to individual medical colleges, which fall under NMC's regulatory scope instead.
Students admitted to JNMC are, per AMU's own admissions policy, normally allocated a Hall of Residence at the time of admission, each a cluster of hostels administered by a Provost with reading rooms, common rooms, and indoor/outdoor games facilities. AMU's official guide notes that hostel accommodation is subject to availability rather than guaranteed for every admitted student. Non-resident male students are attached to the Non-Resident Students Centre (NRSC), while non-resident female students are attached to one of the women's Halls of Residence. Specific hostel fees, room types, or JNMC-specific bed capacity are not published in the admissions guide, so they are left unconfirmed here rather than sourced from aggregator pages.
