The medical college offers MBBS at the undergraduate level, admitted through NEET-UG and MCC deemed-university counselling, with both general and NRI-quota seats. Postgraduate options include MD and MS across major clinical and para-clinical specialties, with DM and MCh super-specialty programmes and a Ph.D. track for research scholars. Exact current-year seat matrices and fee structures are set by the institution's own admission office each counselling cycle; this spec does not state a specific MBBS seat count or fee figure because aggregator sources gave inconsistent numbers and the official site could not be directly verified in this research pass.
