Master of Surgery (MS) is a postgraduate program that allows medical graduates to specialize in surgical fields. MS programs typically span three years and include theoretical coursework, clinical training, and research. Eligibility requires a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree.
Admission to MS programs is competitive and is based on entrance exams conducted at the national or state level. AIIMS PG, NEET PG, and individual state-level PG medical entrance exams are common. These exams assess candidates’ knowledge, aptitude, and surgical skills.
Counselling for MS admissions is conducted by central authorities like the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for All India Quota seats and individual state authorities for state quota seats. The counselling process includes choice filling, seat allotment, and document verification. Final seat allotment is based on entrance exam rank and candidate preferences.
MS colleges offering specializations in various surgical fields are spread across different cities in India. Major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Chennai host renowned medical institutions for MS programs. Aspiring MS students can choose colleges based on their preferred specialization and geographical preferences
