Medical colleges, including Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS), do not offer traditional campus placements. Instead, MBBS students must complete a mandatory one-year internship, which is part of the course curriculum and required for graduation. The monthly stipend during this internship varies, with reports indicating amounts from Rs. 17,000 to Rs. 30,000.
After completing the internship, MBBS graduates have various job opportunities in hospitals or clinics and can choose to pursue further studies through exams like NEET PG. Junior residency positions are available at some colleges, including IGIMS, with salaries ranging from Rs. 60,000 to Rs. 120,000 per month. The internship provides significant clinical experience, preparing students for future roles in healthcare.
