Career Pathways & Placements

• Bond: A mandatory service bond (e.g., 1-3 years rural service) with a significant penalty clause (e.g., ₹15-30 Lakhs) for default applies to graduates.

• Post-Graduation: The extensive clinical exposure at BMIMS makes graduates highly competitive for PG seats (via NEET-PG) or immediately employable as Medical Officers in the state health service (often required to fulfill the bond). The institute offers 48 of its own PG seats, providing a strong in-house pathway.
