Eligibility & Admission
Why Bhatnagar?
We're not the fanciest campus, and we're not in Dehradun. But we have something rarer: a 150-bed working hospital, founded 40 years ago by Dr. Bhatnagar - the first MD in Roorkee - and run today by a team of specialists including Dr. Sandhya Bhatnagar (past President, Indian Academy of Pediatrics) and active cardiologists, anesthesiologists, and surgeons.
From your second semester, you train on real patients in a hospital that has been doing real work for two generations. When you graduate, you'll know how to do the job - not just collect a certificate. Our graduates leave equipped to walk into any NABH-accredited hospital and work from day one.
That's what your fees pay for. The rest is brochure.
