RUHS's own constituent colleges admit students directly into programmes such as MBBS, MD/MS specializations at the College of Medical Sciences, BDS/MDS at the College of Dental Sciences, and BSc/MSc Nursing at the College of Nursing Sciences, generally through NEET-based national or state counselling routes. Separately, RUHS conducts examinations and results, and in some cases counselling, for students enrolled at its 591 affiliated colleges across medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, physiotherapy, and paramedical sciences.
No verified NIRF rank or score was found for RUHS in NIRF's own published rankings, University category 2023-2025 or Medical category 2024. RUHS has submitted NIRF data for 2024 and 2025, hosted on its own website, but self-submission is not the same as being placed on a published, scored list.
RUHS College of Medical Sciences, the university's own medical constituent college, is reported to provide separate hostel facilities for boys and girls near its academic and hospital blocks, though exact fee figures could not be independently confirmed. No official campus-life details are published for the university's administrative campus itself, which functions mainly as a regulatory headquarters.
