SGT University Gurgaon M.S Ophthalmology: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. SGT University has only 2 seats for MS Ophthalmology, making it one of the most competitive and exclusive programmes at the university. With just 2 seats, the programme offers highly personalised mentorship and intensive surgical training. Given the limited seats, candidates need a strong NEET PG 2026 score to secure admission through AIQ or state quota counselling. The small batch size is actually an advantage for learning, as each student gets direct access to faculty and a high volume of surgical cases at SGT Hospital.

Ans. The official fee published on the SGT University website is Rs. 33,00,000 per annum, totalling Rs. 99,00,000 for the 3-year programme. However, some sources indicate the total fee may be around Rs. 29,00,000 for the full programme. Candidates must verify the exact fee at the time of counselling, as fees for management quota and AIQ seats may differ. Compared to other private medical colleges in Delhi NCR, SGT University's MS Ophthalmology fee is in the mid-to-high range. Candidates should also factor in hostel and living expenses of approximately Rs. 1,00,000 to Rs. 1,50,000 per annum.

Ans. Yes, NEET PG is mandatory for all MS Ophthalmology admissions at SGT University. There is no direct admission or management quota admission without a valid NEET PG score, as per NMC regulations. All seats (both AIQ and state quota) are filled through centralised counselling based on NEET PG rank. Candidates who do not appear for NEET PG 2026 or do not meet the minimum percentile cutoff (50th percentile for General, 40th for SC/ST/OBC) are not eligible for admission.

Ans. MS Ophthalmology graduates from SGT University can pursue careers as Ophthalmologists in government and private hospitals, Cataract Surgeons, Cornea Specialists, Glaucoma Specialists, Retina Specialists, Oculoplastic Surgeons, Paediatric Ophthalmologists, and Neuro-Ophthalmologists. Top recruiters include Fortis Hospital, Apollo Hospitals, Max Healthcare, Medanta, Artemis Hospital, Venu Eye Institute, and AIIMS. Graduates can also set up independent ophthalmology clinics or pursue super-specialisation (DrNB/Fellowship) in sub-specialties such as vitreoretinal surgery, cornea, or oculoplasty.

Ans. MS Ophthalmology students at SGT University receive their clinical training at SGT Hospital, a 1000+ bed multi-specialty teaching hospital located on the university campus. The ophthalmology department at SGT Hospital handles a large volume of OPD patients and surgical cases daily, including cataract surgeries, LASIK procedures, corneal transplants, glaucoma surgeries, and retinal procedures. With only 2 students per batch, each resident gets direct hands-on surgical exposure under the supervision of experienced faculty, which is significantly more than what students in larger-batch programmes typically receive.

Ans. All India Quota (AIQ) seats (50% of total seats, i.e., 1 seat) are filled through MCC counselling at mcc.nic.in, open to candidates from across India. State quota seats (50% of total seats, i.e., 1 seat) are filled through Haryana state counselling, with preference given to Haryana domicile candidates. If you are from Haryana, you should register for both AIQ and state quota counselling to maximise your chances. If you are from outside Haryana, you can only participate in AIQ counselling. The fee structure may differ slightly between AIQ and state quota seats; candidates should verify this at the time of counselling.
