Admissions & Career Launch: The SRIHER Pathway

• Getting Through the Door:

• Medical/Dental (MBBS/BDS/MD/MS/MDS): Admission is strictly based on qualifying ranks in NEET-UG or NEET-PG/MDS. Being a Deemed University, seat allotment for almost all seats (General/Management/NRI) is done through the centralized counselling conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), DGHS, Govt. of India.

• Other UG/PG Courses (Non-NEET): SRIHER typically conducts its own All India Entrance Examination (SRIHER-AIEE) for admission to programs like B.Pharm, Pharm.D, B.Sc Nursing, BPT, BOT, B.Sc Allied Health Sciences, B.Tech (Biomed/Biotech), MBA (Hospital Mgmt), etc.

• National Scores Accepted: Scores from relevant national exams like JEE (Main) (perhaps for B.Tech), CAT/MAT/XAT/CMAT (for general MBA if offered) might be considered for specific programs, potentially exempting candidates from SRIHER-AIEE.

• Merit-Based: Some niche or basic science programs might offer admission based on merit in the qualifying examination.

• Career Kickstart (Placements): SRIHER has a strong focus on ensuring employability, with active placement support, especially for non-clinical streams.

• Health Sciences Focus: Graduates from Nursing, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, and Allied Health Sciences are highly sought after by corporate hospitals (including SRMC itself), diagnostic chains, pharmaceutical companies, and rehabilitation centers. The university's reputation aids significantly.

• Engineering/Management: The placement cell facilitates recruitment for B.Tech (Biomedical/Biotech have niche opportunities in healthcare tech) and MBA (Hospital Management grads are well-placed) students in relevant industries.

• Recruiters: Include top hospital groups (Apollo, Fortis, Manipal), pharma companies, healthcare IT firms, diagnostic companies, research labs, and potentially general IT/consulting firms for relevant streams.

• Salary Potential: Varies greatly. Nursing/AHS/Pharmacy graduates typically find good starting positions in the healthcare sector. MBA (Hospital Mgmt) offers strong potential. The average package for non-clinical streams might fall in the ₹4 LPA to ₹7 LPA range, influenced by the specific course and industry. MBBS/MD/MS/BDS/MDS graduates follow established clinical career paths (residency, practice, further specialization).
