MD and MS Placements at JSSMCH

The 2023-24 cohort of MD and MS graduates at JSSMCH had 181 students placed, with a median salary of ₹19.10 LPA. This marks the third consecutive year of significant growth in this segment, rising from 140 placed at ₹10.98 LPA in 2021-22.

JSSMCH offers 18 MD specialisations spanning both clinical and non-clinical disciplines, alongside 4 MS specialisations in surgical fields. Clinical MD graduates (General Medicine, Paediatrics, Radiodiagnosis, Psychiatry, Emergency Medicine) are recruited directly by tertiary hospitals and corporate chains. Non-clinical MD graduates (Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Pathology, Microbiology, Pharmacology) predominantly enter academic medicine and research institutions, contributing to the spread within the cohort median.

Primary Employment Sectors

• Corporate and tertiary hospital chains (clinical MD / MS specialisations)
• Academic medical centres and government medical colleges (non-clinical MD specialisations)
• Public health and government hospitals (Karnataka State and Central Government cadres)
• Super-speciality fellowship and DM/M.Ch programmes (for those continuing further training)

MBBS Placements at JSSMCH

MBBS (UG 5-year) graduates at JSSMCH had 175 students placed in 2023-24 at a median salary of ₹13.75 LPA, up from ₹11.13 LPA in 2021-22 and ₹13.55 LPA in 2022-23.

MBBS graduates complete a mandatory one-year rotating internship at JSSMCH or affiliated hospitals before becoming eligible for full employment. Post-internship, career paths include joining as a junior resident or medical officer at a private or government hospital, appearing for NEET PG to pursue an MD or MS, or pursuing international practice through USMLE (United States) or PLAB (United Kingdom) pathways. JSSAHER has academic collaborations with international institutions including La Trobe University (Australia) and Karolinska Institutet (Sweden), and faculty support for licensing examination preparation is available on campus.

Allied Health Sciences Placements

B.Sc allied health science graduates (UG 3-year) reported 310 placements in 2023-24 at a median of ₹9.80 LPA, consistent with ₹9.75 LPA in 2022-23. The 4-year allied health UG cohort (101 placed) also recorded ₹9.80 LPA median. PG 2-year graduates covering M.Sc and M.Phil programmes contributed 381 placements at ₹10.76 LPA, unchanged from the prior year.

B.Sc specialisations at JSSMCH include Clinical Embryology, Echocardiography, Forensic Odontology, Genetics, Medical Anatomy, Medical Biochemistry, Medical Microbiology, Medical Pharmacology, Medical Physiology, and Respiratory Therapy. Graduates from these programmes are primarily absorbed by multi-specialty hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, fertility clinics, rehabilitation centres, and life sciences research organisations. M.Sc and M.Phil graduates in Clinical Psychology and related fields enter hospital-based clinical psychology departments, rehabilitation services, and mental health organisations.

DM and M.Ch Super-Specialty Placements

DM and M.Ch graduates, classified under the PG 6-year category in NIRF disclosures, had 57 students placed in each of the past two reporting years (2022-23 and 2023-24), with median salaries of ₹11.65 LPA and ₹11.75 LPA respectively.

DM specialisations at JSSMCH cover Gastroenterology, Nephrology, and Neurology; M.Ch covers Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Urology. The lower median compared to MD/MS is characteristic of super-specialty graduates who join academic medical centres, senior residency programmes at government hospitals, or fellowship positions as their first employment. These roles typically carry structured pay scales rather than market-rate salaries, which pulls the cohort median down relative to clinical MD/MS specialists hired directly into corporate hospitals.
