Azeezia Medical College Kollam M.S General Surgery: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. The complete three-year MS General Surgery programme costs INR 18,49,748 under the government and management quota. The fee is paid in annual installments and covers tuition and academic charges. Hostel and mess costs are charged separately and are not part of this total. Students should retain every payment receipt, as fee proof is verified again during counselling reporting and before each academic year begins.

Ans. NEET-PG is the only accepted entrance for the seat. After qualifying, candidates join Kerala state PG medical counselling conducted by the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations, where surgical seats are allotted on NEET-PG rank, chosen quota, and college preference. There is no separate institute-level entrance test, so a strong NEET-PG score and a careful counselling choice decide the seat.

Ans. MS General Surgery runs for three full-time years. Residents handle emergency and elective cases, assist and perform abdominal and trauma surgeries, and complete a research dissertation. The Kerala University of Health Sciences awards the degree after the dissertation is defended successfully. Daily ward rounds, operative logbooks, and case presentations help residents build steady surgical judgement through the programme.

Ans. Applicants need an MBBS degree from an NMC-recognised institution and a completed twelve-month rotating internship. A valid NEET-PG 2026 score and registration with the Kerala University of Health Sciences are mandatory before joining the surgical residency. Candidates from any state are eligible, but seat quotas and counselling rules follow Kerala norms set by the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations.

Ans. Kerala-domicile students can apply for the e-Grantz post-matric scholarship and the state minority professional-course scholarship within income limits. The Central Sector Scholarship supports meritorious candidates. Every award depends on annual government sanction and attendance and is filed on the official portals. It helps to apply early each year and keep income and community certificates ready, since disbursal can take a few months.

Ans. Graduates work as general surgeons in hospitals and private practice, or pursue super-specialty courses such as MCh in urology, gastro, or plastic surgery. The NMC-recognised degree is valid for practice and teaching across India after Kerala University of Health Sciences registration. Some graduates also take academic posts as assistant professors or join multi-specialty hospitals as consultant surgeons. Strong surgical exposure during residency makes graduates competitive for both jobs and higher super-specialty entrance exams.
