Medical College (MBBS) Scorecard 2026

The biggest single input to the score, because the hospital you train in shapes the doctor you become. It rewards more beds per student, a wider range of specialty departments, more PG (MD/MS) programmes on campus, and a longer teaching track record. A bigger, broader, more established teaching hospital means you see more real cases before you graduate.

The clinical and safety facilities you rely on through the course: a skill lab, a valid blood bank, round-the-clock emergency and an ART centre, plus HMIS and biomedical-waste handling. It mainly flags colleges that fall short of these standards; meeting them is the norm, so infrastructure carries a smaller share of the score.

What the degree really costs you over five and a half years: annual government-quota tuition and hostel charges. A lower total scores higher, so affordable government colleges rank above costlier private and deemed ones. Service bonds vary by state and are shown separately as a badge, not mixed into this score.

How well the college is staffed to teach. It weighs the faculty-to-student ratio, the share of senior faculty (professors and associate professors, not just juniors), and how fully departments are filled against NMC norms. A stronger, more senior faculty usually means better mentorship.

How easy the college is to reach and live in. It combines closeness to a sizeable city (weighted by that city’s population) with the number of everyday-commerce places nearby — shops, restaurants, pharmacies, banks — within a few kilometres of the campus. A college inside a serviced town ranks above one that sits near a city but has little around it.
