SIMSRC MD FAQs
Ques. What NEET-PG score is needed for MD at SIMSRC?
Ans. NEET-PG cutoffs vary by specialisation and quota type. Clinical specialisations such as Radiodiagnosis and General Medicine are highly competitive and require strong ranks for government quota. Non-clinical specialisations such as Physiology and Pharmacology typically have lower cutoffs. Management quota seats require NEET-PG qualification; contact SIMSRC admissions after result declaration for current seat availability.
Ques. Do MD residents at SIMSRC receive a stipend?
Ans. RGUHS norms mandate stipend payment for PG medical residents at affiliated colleges. SIMSRC, as an RGUHS-affiliated NMC-approved institution, is expected to comply with these norms. The stipend follows the RGUHS or Karnataka state government pay schedule. Confirm the current amount with SIMSRC’s administrative office before enrollment.
Ques. How are management-quota MD seats at SIMSRC filled?
Ans. Management quota seats are filled directly by SIMSRC after candidates qualify NEET-PG. Eligible candidates contact SIMSRC admissions once results are declared.
