AFMC MBBS : Fees 2025, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Admission to Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC) involves clearing the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) and subsequent assessments in Pune, including a Test of English Language, Comprehension, and Logical Reasoning (ToELR), a Psychological Assessment Test, and an interview, followed by a medical examination. The selection is based on NEET scores, interview results, and medical fitness. Applications open in March, and the final list of selected students is released in July.

AFMC boasts a highly qualified faculty, maintaining a low student-to-teacher ratio with a class size of 150, ensuring personalized education. Fees are minimal due to government subsidies, requiring an initial payment of Rs. 70,000 to Rs. 90,000 covering personal provisions, and a monthly mess charge of Rs. 1,500 to Rs. 1,600. Students receive a stipend of Rs. 8,000 annually, with free accommodation and essential materials provided. The course guarantees 100% placement in the Indian Armed Forces, with students serving at least 7 years, or opting for a permanent commission with pension benefits after 20 years.

During internships, conducted at military hospitals, students earn a stipend of Rs. 60,000 to Rs. 100,000 monthly. Graduates join as commissioned officers with opportunities for career advancement. If opting out of service, students must pay a bond to the college. The overall minimal expense negates the need for traditional scholarships, though financial aid via loans is available through the Indian Overseas Bank on campus. Research scholarships from ICMR are also accessible. Upon course completion, cadets receive a salary of Rs. 1 lakh per month during their internship.
