Master of Surgery [M.S]

Master of Surgery (M.S) at AIIMS Jodhpur is a broad postgraduate surgical programme for MBBS graduates who want to train as specialist surgeons in a discipline such as general surgery, orthopaedics, ENT, ophthalmology or a related surgical branch offered at the institute. Residents rotate through operative and ward duties, outpatient surgical clinics and emergency surgical care under the supervision of senior faculty, while also completing academic coursework and a dissertation that is expected to be defended before the degree is awarded. Training at a central government referral institute in Rajasthan exposes residents to a high volume and variety of surgical cases, which is part of what makes an M.S seat at AIIMS Jodhpur attractive to MBBS graduates aiming at a surgical career. On completing the programme, most residents move into further superspeciality training through M.Ch, consultant surgical practice, or teaching roles at a medical college. The sanctioned intake in each M.S discipline is fixed by the institute and split across the categories and quotas applicable to central medical institutions, and the category-wise seat matrix for the relevant admission cycle is published by the conducting authority and reissued each session, so it is that year's matrix a candidate needs to consult.
