MD General Medicine is a highly competitive clinical branch nationally, and candidates typically need a strong NEET PG rank to secure a seat. The management quota seats at SGT may be available at relatively lower ranks but come with the full fee of INR 35,00,000 per annum.
Ques. What clinical exposure does the Medicine department at SGT Hospital offer to MD General Medicine residents?

The hospital has dedicated Medical ICUs, step-down units, and subspecialty OPDs for cardiology, neurology, gastroenterology, and nephrology. The high patient volume from Gurugram and surrounding districts ensures that residents encounter diverse and complex cases throughout their 3-year training.

Over 3 years, the total stipend amounts to approximately INR 30-31 lakh. While this partially offsets the total course fee of INR 1,05,00,000, the net investment remains significant.
