MAMC Placements: NIRF Outcomes and Internship
Maulana Azad Medical College’s placement figures need to be read differently from those of a business or engineering school. The outcome figures below come from the institution-submitted NIRF Medical report for 2025. That report separates undergraduate five-year programmes from postgraduate three-year programmes and records both students placed and students selected for higher studies. The cohorts in the tables below graduated between 2020-21 and 2023-24, so they are historical outcomes, not a forecast for someone entering in 2027-28.
MBBS outcomes include a strong higher-studies pathway
For the UG five-year group, NIRF reports graduating-in-minimum-time counts, placed counts, median annual salary for placed graduates and students selected for higher studies. It does not give the number who participated in placement activity or define an eligible-placement denominator. These figures therefore should not be converted into a placement rate.
Reading the MBBS counts
The table shows why a single headline percentage is a poor summary. In the 2022-23 cohort, NIRF records 250 students graduating in minimum stipulated time, 10 placed and 240 selected for higher studies. In 2021-22, 227 were reported placed and none selected for higher studies. NIRF does not explain individual choices, specify the further courses joined, identify employers or say how many students took part in a placement process. “Selected for higher studies” should not be read as proof that every student entered a particular postgraduate speciality or secured a clinical post.
These three rows are useful for checking the balance the NIRF table records, not for explaining why students took a particular route. The sharp change between 2021-22 and 2022-23 could reflect different cohort choices or reporting conditions, but the report supplies no reason and no placement-participation count. It therefore cannot establish that students were unable to find work, that every student seeking higher studies entered a postgraduate medical seat, or that the outcomes will repeat for the next intake. Read “selected for higher studies” as the report’s own category and seek a newer cohort-level explanation from MAMC if the distinction affects your decision.
The 2020-21 row lists 224 graduates, zero placed and 224 selected for higher studies. Its salary column is printed as zero, but with no placed graduates this is not a meaningful estimate of an MBBS starting salary. MAMC’s own undergraduate page says MBBS takes five and a half years including a one-year internship. NIRF’s “UG [5 Years Program(s)]” is its reporting category; it is not a replacement for the college’s published course duration.
Postgraduate figures are aggregated across three-year courses
The institution’s NIRF submission reports a separate PG three-year series. The report does not break these outcomes down by MD or MS specialty, department, employer, job role or recruitment route.
Median and higher studies are not a placement promise
The 2021-22 median is markedly lower than the following two entries. The source labels this field “Median salary of placed graduates per annum” and prints ₹89,757; it gives no note explaining the difference. It would be unsafe to reinterpret that number as a monthly stipend or silently correct it. Applicants should treat it as the amount reported in that year’s NIRF submission and ask MAMC for clarification before comparing it with newer salary or stipend figures.
These are medians for the placed graduates in each NIRF cohort, not averages, highest packages or guaranteed earnings. The report does not say whether the salary figure represents a particular specialty, employer type, location or employment contract. It also reports higher-studies counts alongside placements, but does not identify the next programme or speciality. A student comparing a particular MD or MS branch should request that branch’s own recent cohort outcomes rather than applying this three-year aggregate to every specialty.
Internship is a training stage, not a salary outcome
MAMC describes a one-year internship as part of its MBBS course. Its undergraduate admission information states that students must obtain provisional registration with the Delhi Medical Council after the final MBBS examination before joining the compulsory internship programme. This is a clinical-training and registration step. It is separate from NIRF’s count of graduates “placed” and does not by itself establish an internship stipend or a post-internship job.
MAMC publishes internship regulations, schedules and batch-allotment notices on its official website. The exact posting calendar and administrative instructions can vary by batch, so interns should use the notice addressed to their own cohort and confirm registration requirements with the college and Delhi Medical Council. Older rotation schedules on the website should not be assumed to be the current roster.
What to ask for the entering cohort
For a 2027-28 applicant, the useful conclusion is that MAMC’s public outcome evidence is historical and splits MBBS and postgraduate outcomes into separate groups. It supports a careful comparison of reported cohorts, but not a promise of placement, a specialty-level salary estimate or a current recruiter list. The NIRF submission covers MBBS cohorts through 2022-23 and postgraduate three-year cohorts through 2023-24. No later MAMC-specific outcome table was verified for this draft. Ask the college for a newer programme-specific report, and request its graduating cohort, denominator, number placed, further-study count and salary period before treating any newer figure as comparable.
