DM

The DM programme at AIIMS Jodhpur is a super-specialisation medical degree that trains a doctor who already holds a postgraduate qualification to become a specialist in a narrower, more advanced branch of medicine. Training is built almost entirely around supervised clinical practice: managing complex cases in the specialty ward, running and interpreting specialised investigations, and taking part in academic sessions, case discussions and a research project that forms part of the requirements for the degree. Because entrants already hold a postgraduate medical qualification, the pace and clinical responsibility expected from the very start are considerably higher than in an entry-level course. The programme suits postgraduate doctors who have already decided on a super-specialty and are ready for a demanding, hospital-based residency built around independent decision-making under supervision. On completion, graduates typically practise as super-specialists in tertiary-care hospitals, take up academic and research positions, or lead specialised units within larger departments. The intake sanctioned for the DM programme in any one session, together with the category-wise division of those seats, comes from AIIMS Jodhpur's own admission notice for that cycle; because the notice is reissued every session, only the most recently published version should be treated as current.
