Always verify the precise, current fee structure from the official YSRUHS counselling notifications.

Career Pathways & Placements

• Internship: MBBS graduates complete a mandatory 1-year rotatory internship at the Viswabharathi General Hospital, for which they receive a stipend as per college/NMC norms.

• Post-Graduation: The extensive clinical exposure and high patient load make graduates competitive for PG seats (via NEET-PG) or immediately employable as Medical Officers. The institute offers 61 of its own PG seats, providing a strong in-house pathway.
