• MBBS / MD / MS / DM / M.Ch: Admission is strictly based on rank in NEET-UG, NEET-PG, or NEET-SS examinations.

• State Counselling is Key (Bihar): Seat allotment for 85% of State Quota seats is handled through the Bihar State Centralized Counselling Process (UGMAC / PGMAC), conducted by the Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB).

• All India Quota (AIQ): The remaining 15% of seats are filled through the national MCC (Medical Counselling Committee) counselling.

• B.Sc Nursing / Paramedical: Admission is based on a separate entrance examination conducted by the BCECEB.

Placements & Career Outcomes

• Career Path: As a premier medical institute, the career path is well-defined.

• Internship: MBBS graduates complete a mandatory 1-year rotatory internship at the IGIMS Hospital. The stipend at IGIMS is one of the highest in the state (reportedly ~₹30,000 per month).

• Post-Graduation: Graduates are highly competitive for PG seats (via NEET-PG) or are immediately employable as Junior Residents/Medical Officers in government and private hospitals. The institute reports a very high placement/higher-studies progression rate.

• Salary Potential: The median package for PG (3-year) medical students (MD/MS) upon graduation is reported to be ₹14.0 LPA (as per NIRF 2024 data).

Information for NRI / Foreign Nationals

• NRI Quota: IGIMS, as a state government autonomous institute, typically does not have a specific "NRI Quota" for its MBBS seats in the way that private or deemed universities do.

• Foreign Nationals: Admissions for foreign nationals are generally not applicable through the standard NEET counselling. Any admissions for foreign nationals would be handled through government-level (Ministry of External Affairs / Ministry of Health) nominations or specific exchange programs, not through direct application.

• OCI Candidates: Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) cardholders are eligible to apply for admission under the All India Quota (AIQ) seats through the MCC counselling. They are treated on par with Indian citizens for this quota but are generally not eligible for state quota seats.
