![Punjab Institute of Medical Sciences - [PIMS]](https://image-static.collegedunia.com/public/college_data/images/logos/1700567271Screenshotfrom20231121171150.png?h=71.7&w=71.7&mode=stretch)
The Punjab Institute of Medical Sciences, Jalandhar, offers a robust medical education program with well-qualified faculty members, each department having at least six teaching staff. A balanced student-to-faculty ratio ensures effective interaction and personalized learning. The departments of obstetrics-gynecology, medicine, and psychiatry are particularly commendable, while the surgery department could be improved. Exams are conducted annually with midterms every 3-4 months, and the pass rate is an impressive 90%, all in line with NMC guidelines.
The mandatory one-year internship provides clinical training across various departments with a stipend of Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 12,000 per month, although Rs. 3,000 may be deducted during community medicine postings. The college lacks post-internship placements. The institution offers 75 semi-government and 75 management seats. Fees for semi-government seats range from Rs 20-25 lakh for the entire course, while management seats cost approximately Rs 55-60 lakh. Annual tuition fees for government seats start at Rs 3.5-4 lakh, and management seats range from Rs 6.5-10 lakh, both increasing by 10% annually.
Additional costs include Rs 41,000 in college charges and hostel fees of Rs 1.3-2 lakh per year. Scholarships and study loans are available for economically weaker and reserved categories. The program includes a one-year internship after the fourth year.
