The MBBS program, with a faculty-to-student ratio of approximately 10-12 per 120 students, is known for its qualified faculty, most holding MD degrees, who employ innovative teaching methods.

Hostel fees range from Rs. 9,000 to Rs. 1.5 lakh yearly. After the 4.5-year course, a 1-year internship is mandatory, usually at the campus hospital, with stipends between 2,000 to 18,000 INR per month.
