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

Ans. MD Psychiatry seats at SGT University (a private university under Haryana) are filled through the Haryana NEET PG state counselling conducted by DMER Haryana / Pt. BD Sharma UHS, Rohtak. The 50% state quota seats are reserved for Haryana domicile candidates or those who completed MBBS from a Haryana institution. The remaining seats (management quota) are open to candidates from other states as well. There is no AIQ allocation for private university seats in Haryana; however, non-domicile candidates can apply for management quota seats directly through the state counselling portal.

Ans. Given the very limited seat availability (2 seats), competition is intense. Based on historical Haryana NEET PG counselling data, the government quota closing rank for MD Psychiatry at SGT was around 74,237 (UR category, 2023) and the management quota closing rank was around 80,300 (2023) and 59,528 (2024). Candidates with a NEET PG rank in the range of 60,000 to 90,000 (UR category) may have a reasonable chance, though this varies year to year depending on the number of applicants and seat availability.

Ans. Yes, all PG residents at SGT Medical College receive a monthly stipend of Rs. 56,100 throughout all 3 years of the programme, as mandated by the Haryana government for private medical colleges. There is no service bond requirement at SGT. However, if a candidate leaves the seat after joining, a penalty of Rs. 10 Lakh is levied along with a 3-year debarment from Haryana NEET PG counselling.

Ans. SGT Medical College operates a 1000+ bed teaching hospital in the Budhera area of Gurugram, which serves a large catchment area including 34+ surrounding villages and urban Gurugram. The Psychiatry department handles OPD, IPD, de-addiction services, and emergency psychiatric cases. Being in the Delhi-NCR region, the hospital also receives referrals from nearby areas. While patient load in a private hospital may be lower than premier government institutions, students and residents have reported adequate clinical exposure for a PG programme, particularly given the small batch size of 2 residents per year.

Ans. The course fee of Rs. 29 Lakh is payable on a per-annum basis (approximately Rs. 9.67 Lakh per year), not as a single lump sum. For state quota admissions, the first-year fee is deposited at Pt. BD Sharma UHS, Rohtak, during the counselling process and is then transferred to SGT University. The caution money of Rs. 3,00,000 is fully refundable at the end of the course upon application by the candidate. If a candidate withdraws before the stipulated deadline, the fee may be refunded as per the counselling authority's withdrawal policy.

Ans. MD Psychiatry from an NMC-recognised institution like SGT University opens up a wide range of career paths. Graduates can pursue clinical practice as consultant psychiatrists in hospitals, nursing homes, or private practice. Academic and research positions in medical colleges are also available. Government sector opportunities include positions in NIMHANS, AIIMS, state mental health authorities, and district hospitals. Additionally, graduates can pursue super-specialisation (DM in Psychiatry or related fields) or fellowship programmes in sub-specialities such as child psychiatry, addiction medicine, or forensic psychiatry. The growing awareness of mental health in India has significantly increased demand for qualified psychiatrists in both urban and rural settings.
