City Details

The Vibe: Established in 1995 as the first medical college in Uttarakhand, the Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences (HIMS) often called Jolly Grant Medical College offers a serene, "resort-style" academic environment. Located in the Doiwala region, the campus is nestled in a lush green valley at the foothills of the Himalayas. The atmosphere is quiet, pollution-free, and significantly more relaxed than Dehradun’s main city center. It serves as a major medical hub for the entire Garhwal region, blending spiritual heritage (founded by Swami Rama) with high-tech tertiary healthcare.

Connectivity:

  • Air: Jolly Grant Airport (DED) is literally adjacent to the campus, located just 1 km away. This makes it perhaps the most accessible medical college in India for students traveling from Delhi, Mumbai, or Bangalore.

  • Rail: Doiwala Railway Station is the nearest (~6 km), but most students use Dehradun Terminal (25 km) or Rishikesh (20 km) for better connectivity to major express trains like the Shatabdi.

  • Road: The college is perfectly situated on the Dehradun-Rishikesh Highway. It is roughly equidistant from Dehradun (25 km) and Rishikesh (20 km), with frequent bus and "Vikram" (auto) services connecting to both cities.

Hostel & Mess

  • Hostel Policy: Separate, secured Hostel facilities for Boys and Girls are available on campus. Hostel stay is mandatory for UG students for the full duration of the course.

  • Accommodation: Rooms are well-furnished, offering single, double, and triple sharing options.

  • Hostel & Mess Charges (Annual): These are mandatory for residents and typically all-inclusive.

    • Annual Fee (Accommodation + Mess): Approx. ₹2,00,000/- to ₹2,50,000/- per year.

  • Miscellaneous

  • NRI Seat Quota: Yes, HIMS reserves a dedicated NRI Quota (approx. 23 seats). The fees are payable in US Dollars and managed through the MCC counseling process.

  • Discontinuation Penalty: Students abandoning the course mid-way are liable to pay the remaining full course fee.

  • Stipend: PG residents receive a competitive stipend as per university norms.
