Admission to Gadag Institute of Medical Sciences (GIMS) is merit-based, requiring candidates to clear entrance exams like NEET-UG and KCET, and scoring at least 50% in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology in the 12th grade. The MBBS program admits 150 students annually, with a faculty-to-student ratio of 1:30. Faculty members are experienced and provide diverse teaching methods, combining theoretical and practical knowledge. Recently, GIMS has introduced PG courses, supported by a competent faculty team.
The annual tuition fee ranges between Rs 60,000 and Rs 67,000, with a total of approximately Rs 3,35,000 for five years. Hostel fees are Rs 8,000 annually, and mess fees are Rs 3,000 monthly. Concessions are provided for BPL and SC/ST students, making it relatively affordable compared to private colleges. The college boasts a strong placement process, with 70-80% of students securing internships in reputed hospitals, earning a monthly stipend of around Rs 20,000 to Rs 31,000.
A mandatory one-year internship follows the four-and-a-half-year MBBS program. Scholarships are available based on performance, income, and attendance, including the GIMS Spandhana scholarship and various government and private scholarships. The Karnataka government provides a Rs 50,000 scholarship for students from families earning less than Rs 10,00,000 annually, with benefits for SC/ST students, such as fee reductions and additional support.
