Ans. The total fee for MD Physiology at SGT University is INR 30,63,500 for the full 3-year course. This includes INR 10 Lakh per annum course fee (INR 30 Lakh total), a one-time refundable caution money of INR 50,000, a non-refundable alumni fee of INR 2,500, and a non-refundable enrolment fee of INR 11,000.

Sharma University of Health Sciences, Rohtak at the time of counselling, and subsequent year fees are paid directly to SGT University. Candidates are not required to pay the entire course fee upfront.
Ques. How many seats are available for MD Physiology at SGT University and what is the NEET PG cutoff?
Ans. SGT University has 5 NMC-approved seats for MD Physiology. MD Physiology is a pre-clinical specialisation with one of the lowest NEET PG cutoffs among all MD specialisations. Seats in pre-clinical branches like Physiology, Pharmacology, Anatomy, and Biochemistry often remain available even in later rounds of counselling. Candidates with lower NEET PG scores who do not secure clinical specialisations in early rounds frequently opt for Physiology in subsequent rounds. Candidates should check the latest Haryana state counselling seat matrix and round-wise cutoff data for the most current information.
Ques. What career opportunities are available after MD Physiology from SGT University?
Ans. MD Physiology graduates from SGT University (NMC-recognised) can pursue careers as Physiologists, Medical Researchers, Academic Faculty in medical colleges, Clinical Trial Coordinators, Healthcare Consultants, Biotech Specialists, and Medical Writers. Top recruiters include hospitals (Fortis, Apollo, AIIMS, Max Healthcare, Medanta), pharmaceutical companies (Dr. Reddy's, Cipla, Biocon), and research institutions. Academic careers as Physiology faculty in medical colleges are a particularly stable and sought-after option. Candidates can also pursue PhD or post-doctoral research in physiology or related biomedical sciences.
Ques. Is MD Physiology a good option for candidates interested in research and academia?
Ans. Yes, MD Physiology is an excellent choice for candidates with a strong interest in medical research and academic careers. The programme has a significant research component, including a mandatory dissertation, and covers research methodology and biostatistics in depth. SGT University's research infrastructure, including human performance labs and access to the central research lab, supports high-quality research work. Graduates with MD Physiology are eligible to apply for faculty positions in medical colleges (as per NMC norms) and can pursue further research through PhD programmes.
Ques. Can candidates from outside Haryana apply for MD Physiology at SGT University?
Ans. Yes, candidates from outside Haryana can apply through the MCC All India Quota (AIQ) counselling (mcc.nic.in), which covers 50% of MD/MS seats at SGT University and is open to all NEET PG qualified candidates across India. The remaining 50% seats are under Haryana State Quota (preference to Haryana domicile candidates). Pre-clinical specialisations like Physiology often have seats available in later rounds of counselling, giving non-Haryana candidates a good opportunity to secure admission through AIQ or OPMQ routes.
Ques. What is the difference between MD Physiology and MD Pharmacology at SGT University in terms of career prospects?
Ans. Both MD Physiology and MD Pharmacology are pre-clinical specialisations at SGT University with the same fee structure (INR 10 Lakh per annum). MD Physiology is more oriented towards understanding body functions, research, and academia, while MD Pharmacology has stronger industry linkages with the pharmaceutical sector (drug development, clinical trials, regulatory affairs). Both degrees qualify graduates for faculty positions in medical colleges. Candidates interested in pharma industry roles may prefer Pharmacology, while those interested in basic science research, sports medicine, or clinical physiology may find Physiology more suitable. Both have similar NEET PG cutoff levels.
