Admissions & Career Pathways: Entry & Future

• Getting In:

  • MBBS: Admission is exclusively through NEET-UG rank. Counselling and seat allotment for State/Management quota seats are done via UP State NEET Counselling (DGME, UP).

  • BAMS: Admission is exclusively through NEET-UG rank. Counselling and seat allotment are managed by the UP State AYUSH Counselling.

  • Nursing (B.Sc., etc.): Admissions are likely through the state-level CNET (Common Nursing Entrance Test) conducted by ABVMU, Lucknow, followed by its centralized counselling. (Verify if MGU participates in CNET or has separate approval).

  • Paramedical Courses: Admissions might be through the CPET (Common Paramedical Entrance Test) conducted by ABVMU, or potentially through the university's own entrance test or merit based on Class 12 marks. This needs specific confirmation from MGU's admission notification.

• Career Support (Placements):

  • Focus: Placement support is likely strongest for Nursing and Paramedical graduates, aiming for recruitment in hospitals (including their own) and other healthcare facilities.

  • Medical/AYUSH: MBBS and BAMS graduates complete their mandatory internship and then typically pursue PG specialization (via NEET-PG or AIAPGET for AYUSH), join hospitals as medical officers, or set up practice. Direct campus placement isn't the primary route.

  • Placement Cell: The university likely has a placement cell to facilitate interactions with potential employers and provide career guidance.
