The Campus: Administrative Hub in Jaipur

RUHS operates from its dedicated administrative campus in Jaipur.

• Location: Situated in Sector-18, Kumbha Marg, Pratap Nagar, Jaipur, Rajasthan.

• Campus Role: The RUHS campus serves primarily as the administrative and examination nucleus for health sciences education in the state. It houses the Vice-Chancellor's office, Registrar's office, Controller of Examinations, various academic boards, affiliation sections, and the central administration managing the statewide network of colleges. It's the command center for policy, exams, and admissions counselling.

• Infrastructure: The campus features modern administrative buildings designed for university governance, secure examination management, conducting state-level counselling sessions (often utilizing online platforms), and hosting academic meetings. While it might have some limited academic facilities (like for Ph.D. scholars or specific short courses), it is not a traditional teaching campus where students attend daily classes for programs like MBBS or B.Sc Nursing.

Healthcare Network: Rajasthan's Affiliated Hospitals

RUHS itself does not operate its own large-scale, general teaching hospital for undergraduate training directly under its administrative campus. Its clinical training infrastructure is the comprehensive network of hospitals attached to the various government and private health science colleges affiliated with it across Rajasthan.

• Affiliated Hospitals: Every teaching hospital linked to a government or private medical, dental, nursing, pharmacy, or paramedical college in Rajasthan falls under RUHS's academic governance. This includes major government hospitals like SMS Medical College Hospital (Jaipur), SN Medical College Hospital (Jodhpur), RNT Medical College Hospital (Udaipur), SP Medical College Hospital (Bikaner), JLN Medical College Hospital (Ajmer), Government Medical College (Kota), as well as all private medical college hospitals (like Geetanjali, Pacific, NIMS, Mahatma Gandhi), dental hospitals, and associated clinical training centers.

• Training Ground: Students pursuing MBBS, BDS, Nursing, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, or Paramedical courses under RUHS receive their complete clinical training and mandatory internships at the specific hospital associated with their allotted college. RUHS ensures the academic standards and evaluates this training through its standardized university examinations.

Fee Structure: Governed by Rajasthan State Policy

Fees for courses under RUHS are determined by Rajasthan state government regulations and policies, varying significantly based on college type (Govt/Pvt/Society) and admission quota.

Campus Living: Managed by Affiliated Colleges Across Rajasthan

Since RUHS primarily functions as an administrative and examining body from Jaipur, it does not provide centralized hostel facilities for students enrolled in its numerous affiliated colleges spread across Rajasthan.

• College Hostels: Residential facilities (hostels) and dining arrangements (mess) are entirely managed by the individual affiliated colleges where students secure admission (e.g., SMS Jaipur, SNMC Jodhpur, RNT Udaipur, private colleges like Geetanjali, Pacific, NIMS, MGUMST, etc.).

• Facilities & Fees: The availability, quality, rules, and the associated hostel and mess fees are determined by and paid directly to the respective college administration. Costs vary dramatically between government colleges (subsidized, but costs can still be notable) and private colleges (market rates, often high).

Admissions & Career Pathways: State-Regulated Process

• Getting Admitted:

• MBBS / BDS / MD / MS / MDS: Admission is strictly via NEET-UG or NEET-PG/MDS ranks. The critical step is participation in the Rajasthan State NEET Counselling, managed by the NEET UG/PG Counselling Board (convened typically at RUHS College of Dental Sciences, Jaipur, under RUHS's overall authority). This single counselling process handles allotment to state quota seats in government colleges and all categories of seats (Govt, Management, NRI) in private colleges. MCC handles the All India Quota for government colleges.

• Nursing / Pharmacy / Paramedical: Admission typically involves state-level entrance tests conducted by RUHS (e.g., for B.Sc Nursing, Post Basic B.Sc Nursing, M.Sc Nursing, B.Pharm/D.Pharm, BPT, Paramedical Diplomas/Degrees) followed by centralized counselling managed by RUHS based on the ranks obtained in these tests. Check RUHS admission notifications carefully for specific exam details.

• Career Support (Placements):

• University Role: RUHS, as an affiliating body, does not operate a central placement cell for all colleges.

• College Responsibility: Placement support and career guidance are handled by the individual affiliated colleges.

• Outcomes: Graduates from Medical/Dental streams complete mandatory internships (stipends provided in Govt colleges) and then typically pursue PG specialization (via NEET-PG/MDS), join state government medical services (often required due to service bonds in Rajasthan govt colleges), corporate hospitals, or private practice. Nursing, Pharmacy, and Paramedical graduates' placements depend heavily on their specific college's reputation and placement cell activities, targeting hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, diagnostic centers within Rajasthan and nationally.

Information for NRI Candidates

Rajasthan's private medical and dental colleges (affiliated with RUHS) have specific provisions for NRI admissions.
