Frequently Asked Questions - MS College Rankings
NIRF does not rank MS and MD programmes separately - it ranks the overall medical institution. When evaluating colleges for MS, focus on the specific surgical department's reputation, case volume, and faculty expertise.
Look at the hospital's surgical case volume, variety of procedures performed, faculty publications in surgical journals, availability of advanced surgical equipment, and feedback from current or past residents in the department.
Premier government institutions like AIIMS typically offer high case volumes and diverse surgical exposure due to large patient inflows. However, several private medical colleges also provide excellent surgical training with modern infrastructure.
