Admissions & Career Trajectories: Entry & Future

• Getting Accepted:

  • MBBS / BDS / MD / MS / MDS: Admission is strictly based on qualifying ranks in the national entrance exams: NEET-UG (for MBBS/BDS) and NEET-PG / NEET-MDS (for PG courses).

  • Counselling: Crucially, being a Deemed University, seat allotment for almost all seats (including Management Quota and NRI Quota) is done through the centralized counselling conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), Govt. of India. Unlike private colleges affiliated to state universities, the state counselling body (UP DGME) usually plays no role here.

  • Nursing / Allied Health: Admissions are typically based on merit in the qualifying examination (Class 12) or potentially through university-conducted entrance tests or interviews. Check the specific program's admission criteria on the university website.

• Career Pathways:

  • Medical/Dental Graduates: After completing the mandatory internship, graduates primarily focus on preparing for postgraduate entrance exams (NEET-PG/MDS/INI-CET), joining hospitals as junior residents/medical officers, or entering clinical practice.

  • Nursing/Allied Health: The university likely has a placement cell assisting these graduates in finding positions in hospitals (including Santosh Hospital), diagnostic centers, and other healthcare organizations. Placements depend on individual performance and industry demand.
