RIMS NEET PG Seats: There's good news for Jharkhand's medical education and health sector. In the PG broad specialty seat matrix released by the National Medical Commission for the 2026-27 academic year, 36 additional seats have been approved for the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Ranchi. This increase brings the total number of postgraduate seats at RIMS from 176 to 212, meaning students will now have the opportunity to pursue specialized medical education on approximately 20 percent more seats than before.

In which departments have the seats been increased?

Departments increased seats
Anaesthesiology- 8 seats
Community Medicine- 6 seats
Microbiology- 6 seats
General Medicine- 5 seats 
Anatomy- 4 seats
Pharmacology- 4 seats

Total increase: 36 seats

In this way, seats have been increased in seven departments at RIMS. In the past few months, a total of 106 new MBBS and PG seats have been approved at RIMS Ranchi. This includes 70 MBBS seats approved in July 2026 and 36 PG seats approved in November 2026.

Medical students of Jharkhand will get benefit

The RIMS management and the Health Department believe that this increase in PG seats will provide medical graduates from Jharkhand with greater opportunities to pursue specialized medical education within their own state. Students from the state will now be able to pursue programs such as MD and MS. The increase in seats, particularly in key departments such as General Medicine and Anesthesiology, will not only strengthen the institute's academic capabilities but will also significantly increase the availability of skilled and specialized doctors to the state's government hospitals and healthcare services in the future.

PG seats in 5 medical colleges of the state

According to the latest NMC list, the total number of PG broad specialty seats in Jharkhand's five major medical colleges now stands at 388. These include 212 seats at RIMS Ranchi, 45 seats at MGM Jamshedpur, 37 seats at SNMCH Dhanbad, 24 seats at Laxmi Chandravanshi Medical College, and 20 seats at Netaji Subhash Medical College. It should be noted that CIP and Rinpas seats are excluded from this list.

Credit goes to officials

This historic achievement in Jharkhand is attributed to the leadership and efforts of Health Minister Dr. Irfan Ansari, Principal Secretary of the Health Department Ajay Kumar Singh, and RIMS Director Dr. BK Singh. The RIMS Director congratulated the Dean of Academics, all department heads, and the entire team of teachers, doctors, officers, and staff for the increase in seats.
