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

Ans. The complete three-year MS Orthopaedics 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 billed separately and are not included in this total. Students should retain every payment receipt, as fee proof is verified again at counselling reporting and before each new academic year.

Ans. NEET-PG is the only entrance accepted 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 Orthopaedics runs for three full-time years. Residents manage trauma cases, assist and perform joint and fracture surgeries, and attend daily ward and theatre duties. A research dissertation must be submitted and defended before the Kerala University of Health Sciences awards the degree. Regular case discussions, journal clubs, and surgical logbooks help residents build steady operative skill through the residency.

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 the candidate can join the 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. All awards depend on annual government sanction and attendance and are 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 orthopaedic surgeons in hospitals, trauma centres, and private practice, or pursue super-specialty fellowships in areas like arthroplasty and spine surgery. The NMC-recognised degree is valid for practice and teaching across India after Kerala University of Health Sciences registration. Some graduates also join academic posts as assistant professors or set up independent orthopaedic and sports-injury clinics. Strong surgical exposure during residency makes graduates competitive for both jobs and higher super-specialty entrance exams.
