Ques. May a student submit applications for more than one IPGMER Kolkata course in one year?

Ans. Yes. A student may apply for several programmes, including MBBS, MD/MS, M.Sc Nursing and diploma courses, if the eligibility conditions for each one are met. Each programme needs a separate application and fee.

Ques. How does fee payment confirm an allotted seat at IPGMER Kolkata?

Ans. After receiving a seat during counselling, the student must pay the admission fee within the stated deadline through net banking, a debit card or a credit card. Payment secures the allotted seat and leads to the issue of a provisional admission letter. Missing the payment deadline can result in loss of the seat. The student must then report to the campus for document verification and course registration.

Ques. Do reserved-category applicants receive any cutoff relaxation?

Ans. Yes. IPGMER Kolkata follows West Bengal reservation rules for SC, ST, OBC, EWS and PwD applicants. Government norms permit applicable relaxation in NEET, JENPAS and JEMAS cutoffs, although seats within every category are still allotted by merit. A valid category certificate must be produced during counselling for verification.

Ans. Hostel accommodation is available, and rooms are usually assigned on a first-come-first-served basis after seat confirmation.
