SGT University Gurgaon M.D Community Medicine: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. MD Community Medicine (also known as MD PSM - Preventive and Social Medicine) at SGT University is a solid choice for MBBS graduates who want to build a career in public health, epidemiology, or academia rather than clinical practice. The department at SGT is backed by a large attached hospital and community outreach programmes, giving residents hands-on field experience. Graduates can pursue careers with government health departments, ICMR, WHO, AIIMS, state health missions, and NGOs. However, it is important to note that this is a non-clinical branch, so those seeking clinical practice should consider other specialisations.

Ans. MD Community Medicine at SGT University has a limited intake, typically around 2 seats per year as per NMC approval. These seats are divided between the All India Quota (50%, filled through MCC counselling) and the Haryana State Quota (50%, filled through Pt. B.D. Sharma UHS counselling). Within the state quota, seats are further sub-divided into state merit, SC, deprived, and management categories. Given the small intake, competition for these seats can be significant even at lower NEET PG ranks compared to clinical branches.

Ans. MD/MS residents at SGT University receive a monthly stipend as per Haryana government norms. The stipend is approximately INR 84,400 per month for first-year residents and INR 85,400 per month for second-year residents. This stipend is provided to all PG residents regardless of their specialisation, including Community Medicine. The stipend helps offset the cost of living during the 3-year programme.

Ans. As per Haryana state norms, there is no mandatory service bond for MD/MS students at private colleges in Haryana (unlike some other states). However, candidates should verify the latest bond conditions at the time of admission, as policies can change. The security deposit of INR 50,000 paid at the time of admission is refundable upon completion of the course, subject to no pending dues or disciplinary issues.

Ans. Yes. After completing MD Community Medicine from SGT University, graduates are eligible to pursue a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Community Medicine, which is also offered by SGT University itself. Additionally, graduates can apply for fellowships in public health, epidemiology, or health management from institutions like PHFI, AIIMS, or international universities. Some graduates also pursue an MPH (Master of Public Health) from reputed institutions abroad to strengthen their profile for global health careers.
