The Doctorate of Medicine (MD) in Anaesthesiology is a 3-year postgraduate medical programme that trains doctors in the science and practice of anaesthesia, pain management, critical care, and resuscitation. Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS), Hubli, is one of Karnataka's premier government medical institutions, established in 1957 and affiliated to Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), Bengaluru. KIMS Hubli offers 19 seats in MD Anaesthesiology, with a total government tuition fee of Rs. 3,42,450 for the entire 3-year programme, making it one of the most affordable MD programmes in the country. Admission is through the NEET PG examination conducted by NBEMS, followed by MCC counselling for All India Quota seats and Karnataka state counselling (KEA) for state quota seats. MD Anaesthesiology is a popular and high-demand speciality given the critical role of anaesthesiologists in surgical, obstetric, and intensive care settings, and KIMS Hubli's large tertiary care hospital with 16 major and 7 minor operation theatres provides excellent clinical training.
