IIT Kharagpur has made history by becoming the first IIT to launch National Medical Commission-accredited postgraduate medical programmes.
Starting in the 2026–27 session, the Dr B C Roy Multi-Speciality Medical Research Centre will admit its inaugural MD batch.
The debut year introduces 12 seats across six key disciplines, spanning General Medicine, Radiology, Physiology, Pathology, Community Medicine, and Biochemistry.
Admissions will occur centrally through the NEET-PG online counselling process, beginning officially from Round 2 according to standard eligibility rules.
Director Suman Chakraborty emphasized that the program will build a unique ecosystem merging clinical excellence with engineering ingenuity, artificial intelligence, and translational research.
This bold initiative successfully dismantles historical institutional silos, bridging the gap between advanced medical training and premier technological research in India.
