The Institute of Medical Sciences (IMS), Banaras Hindu University (BHU) has accomplished an impressive milestone by increasing its number of postgraduate (PG) medical seats from 96 to 188.
This comes after the institute opened its new Super Specialty and Trauma Centers, which feature updated patient care and educational capabilities.
According to officials, IMS BHU intends to expand its reputation as one of India’s leading medical schools in the near future by adding about 40 more PG seats across ten departments.
The program supports national objectives under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY), which emphasizes bettering access to specialized healthcare and medical education.
