Fee Structure: State-Regulated (Tiered)

The fee structure is governed by the Gujarat Fee Regulatory Committee (FRC) and is tiered due to its status as an AMC-run institution, where fees are higher than pure government colleges.

Disclaimer: These are indicative 2024-2025 figures based on the typical FRC ranges for SFI/Trust-run colleges in Gujarat. The fees for the state quota are substantially higher than pure government colleges. Always verify the precise, current fee structure and bond requirements directly from the official ACPUGMEC prospectus or FRC website.

Admissions Process: NEET & State Counselling (Gujarat)

• Getting Admitted (MBBS/MD/MS): Admission is strictly and exclusively based on qualifying ranks in NEET-UG (for MBBS) or NEET-PG (for MD/MS).

• State Counselling is Key (Gujarat): Seat allotment for all categories (Government Quota, Management Quota, and NRI Quota) is handled entirely through the Gujarat State Centralized Counselling Process conducted by the Admission Committee for Professional Undergraduate Medical Educational Courses (ACPUGMEC), Gujarat.

• Always check the official ACPUGMEC (medadmbj.gujarat.gov.in) website for counselling schedules and procedures.

Career Pathways & Placements

• Career Path: As an established, high-volume municipal medical college, the career path for graduates is excellent.

• Internship: MBBS graduates complete a mandatory 1-year rotatory internship at the V.S. General Hospital, for which they receive a competitive stipend as per state government/municipal norms.

• Bond: A service bond (e.g., 1 year) and course breakage bond may be required, as is common with government-society colleges.

• Post-Graduation: The extensive clinical exposure and the availability of 200+ PG seats make graduates highly competitive for PG seats (via NEET-PG) or immediately employable as Medical Officers.
