In the MBBS program, there are no traditional placements, but a mandatory 1-year internship follows the 4.5-year curriculum. This internship is essential for obtaining the degree and takes place in the college hospital. During this period, students receive a stipend ranging from INR 12,750 to INR 15,000 per month, with variations depending on the college and state.
The internship provides comprehensive exposure across all 19 subjects studied during the course, including hands-on experience in OPD, wards, ICU, and operation theaters. After the internship, a 1-year compulsory rural service is required, which can be waived by paying the bond amount submitted at admission. The internship offers significant clinical skill development and practical experience, critical for aspiring doctors.
