IIT Kharagpur MD programme NMC approval: IIT Kharagpur has applied to the National Medical Commission to begin its first postgraduate MD programme, according to public reports. This would be the first time an IIT seeks to offer a traditional medical postgraduate degree.
The application reportedly names the MD as a new course at the institute. Admissions are expected to be through NEET-PG and candidates will need to meet NMC and NEET-PG eligibility criteria to apply.

IIT Kharagpur MD programme NMC approval: admissions and eligibility
Admissions are expected via NEET-PG only. You will need to satisfy the standard NMC/NEET-PG eligibility requirements when official notifications are issued.
The report does not list specialisations, seat matrix, reservation details or any phased intake plan. Until the NMC publishes its approval order or IIT Kharagpur issues an official notice, application mechanics and important dates will remain unconfirmed.
What we don't know yet
No intake numbers were reported. No fee structure or hostel charges were shared. There is no timeline for when the NMC may decide on the application or when the first batch might start.
There is also no public detail about faculty recruitment, clinical affiliations, hospital infrastructure or the specific MD specialisations IIT Kharagpur plans to offer. All these items are normally required by the NMC, but the current reporting has not released those documents.
If you are planning to apply in future, watch for official updates from the National Medical Commission and IIT Kharagpur. Those two authorities will publish the formal approval, seat matrix, fee details and admission schedule. For now, the key point is that IIT Kharagpur has sought NMC permission to start an MD programme and admissions are expected through NEET-PG.
