IIT Kharagpur will admit its first MD students this year, the first IIT to offer postgraduate medical degrees. There are 12 seats, two each in six subjects, at its Dr B C Roy Multi-Speciality Medical Research Centre. All 12 are offered in Round 2 of NEET PG counselling, which is open now.

What we don’t know yet
Neither the ministry’s release nor the MCC list gives the fee, stipend or any service bond for these seats. The release does not name a hospital where students will do clinical work either. Check MCC’s participating institute details and the institute’s page before you choose. These are new courses, so there are no past cut-offs to compare.
IIT Kharagpur says the courses will connect medicine with its work in artificial intelligence, imaging, diagnostics and biomedical devices. That makes them most relevant to candidates interested in research.
