Hamdard Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (HIMSR) is a private minority deemed medical college in Hamdard Nagar, South Delhi, established in 2012 as a constituent college of Jamia Hamdard University. It is recognised by the National Medical Commission (NMC), accredited NAAC ‘A’ grade, and affiliated with Jamia Hamdard — a deemed-to-be university under Ministry of Education. HIMSR offers 150 MBBS seats with 50% reserved for Muslim minorities (by birth) and admissions conducted exclusively through MCC Deemed University Counselling at mcc.nic.in.

The teaching hospital is the HAH Centenary Hospital (HAHCH) with approximately 740 beds, located on the same campus, serving South Delhi’s patient load and providing the clinical backbone for MBBS training.

Quick Facts – HIMSR Delhi

About HIMSR Delhi

History

HIMSR was established by the Hamdard National Foundation under the Jamia Hamdard umbrella — a university founded in 1962 by Hakeem Abdul Hameed, rooted in Unani medicine and Islamic philanthropic tradition. The institute became the sixth medical college in NCT Delhi and the first public–private model hospital within the capital when it admitted its first MBBS batch in July 2012. The HAH Centenary Hospital was named in honour of the centenary of Hakeem Abdul Hameed’s birth.

Mission and Vision

HIMSR integrates modern medical education with Hamdard’s tradition of ethical healthcare and community service. With 50% of seats reserved for Muslim minority students by birth, it fulfils a constitutional mandate while maintaining NMC-standard academic quality open to all NEET qualifiers through the General/Open category.

Academic Environment

The South Delhi campus spans Hamdard Nagar — a self-contained academic quarter with the medical college, hospital, pharmacy faculty, and Unani medicine wing. MBBS students learn in modern lecture theatres, well-equipped pre-clinical labs, a digital library, and rotate through HAHCH’s wards and OPD. The college maintains MEU, a student council, and an active research ethics and institutional ethics committee framework aligned with NMC norms.

Campus Facilities

Hostel Facilities

HIMSR provides separate hostel blocks for male and female students on the Hamdard Nagar campus. Hostel allocation is not guaranteed for all students due to limited capacity; allocation is generally first-come, first-served or merit-based. Hostel fees are separate from tuition — current rates are not listed in the official 2025-26 fee notification; verify at the college office or on himsr.co.in.

Faculty & Academics

HIMSR follows the NMC CBME curriculum across all five phases including the one-year internship. Faculty covers NMC-mandated pre-clinical, para-clinical, and clinical departments with specialist visiting faculty drawn from Delhi’s broader medical establishment. The college’s Medical Education Unit (MEU), Institutional Ethics Committee, and Research Protocol and Advisory Committee operate per NMC guidelines. Being in Delhi provides MBBS students access to the capital’s conference, workshop, and competitive-exam infrastructure.

MBBS Curriculum – Year-Wise

Internship

One-year compulsory rotating medical internship (CRMI) at HAHCH across all mandated departments. As per the official HIMSR fee document (2025-26): “The interns of MBBS shall be paid stipend at applicable rates for one year.” The exact stipend amount — verify at the college before joining.

Bond Policy

Students must execute an MBBS Course Discontinuation Bond/Affidavit at admission, committing to pay the full course fee in the event of discontinuing at any stage. Format available on himsr.co.in. No rural service or compulsory state-posting bond is indicated in HIMSR’s current documentation — verify at college before signing the admission undertaking.

Research & Student Activities

HIMSR operates an Intramural Research Fund for faculty and student projects, an Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC/RPAC) for protocol approvals, and participates in ICMR-STS undergraduate research. Student activities include a mentorship programme, sports events, cultural fests, and participation in university-level Jamia Hamdard events. The college maintains an active alumni network leveraging Jamia Hamdard’s decades-old graduate base.

Scholarships

HIMSR’s official 2025-26 fee document states explicitly: “No fee concession/Scholarship is available for students of MBBS.” Central government scholarships (NSP, minority scholarships) and state schemes may apply to eligible students independently — check scholarships.gov.in and minorityaffairs.gov.in. Muslim Minority students should verify central minority scholarship eligibility on the National Scholarship Portal.

Student Life

HIMSR’s Hamdard Nagar campus is a self-contained South Delhi academic neighbourhood — quiet relative to central Delhi but well-connected. The Tughlaqabad metro station and multiple bus routes give access to the rest of Delhi. Proximity to the Hamdard/Jamia corridor means access to Delhi’s full educational infrastructure: coaching institutes, libraries, competitive exam centres, and the social life of one of India’s most diverse cities. The college’s minority character creates a distinct campus culture shaped by Hamdard’s philanthropic and ethical tradition.

Location & Connectivity

Rankings

Jamia Hamdard (parent university) was ranked 37th in the NIRF Medical category (2024). Verify the current NIRF rank for HIMSR/Jamia Hamdard at nirfindia.org — rankings change annually. HIMSR holds NAAC ‘A’ accreditation.

Advantages

• One of only two private MBBS colleges inside Delhi NCT — Delhi address has real career value
• 50% seats (75) reserved for Muslim minority — most favourable minority quota of any NMC medical college
• Competitive NEET rank (~23,802 in 2024) — well above most North Indian deemed colleges
• NAAC ‘A’ accreditation; NIRF ranked (Jamia Hamdard)
• HAH Centenary Hospital on campus — integrated clinical training without commuting
• Delhi metro connectivity to all parts of the capital from Hamdard Nagar
• Jamia Hamdard brand and alumni network with strong presence in health administration and public service

Limitations

• High fee: ₹16 lakh/year tuition (₹72 lakh total course); hostel separate — total cost approaches ₹85–90 lakh over 5.5 years
• NMC seat complications in 2025-26 create uncertainty; must verify current status before participating in 2026-27 counselling
• Hospital bed count (~740) smaller than many other private deemed colleges offering 900–1,200 beds
• No MBBS fee scholarship available per official fee document
• Hostel capacity limited; not guaranteed to all students
• General seats (only 52) fill quickly at tight ranks — cuts narrow

Who Should Choose HIMSR Delhi

Muslim minority candidates who meet the affidavit condition and hold a NEET AIR in the range that qualifies for MCC Deemed Minority seats. General category candidates with AIR around 23,000–55,000 (benchmarked on recent years) who specifically want a Delhi-based college for family, career, or PG coaching reasons. NRI category candidates seeking a Delhi location. All candidates must verify HIMSR’s confirmed seat status in the 2026-27 MCC seat matrix before finalising choices.

Who Should Consider Other Options

Candidates who cannot confirm HIMSR’s 2026-27 NMC seat status before counselling. Those whose NEET rank comfortably qualifies for government colleges with lower fees and greater clinical volume. Candidates preferring larger teaching hospitals (900+ beds). Those with no scholarship availability concern but seeking fee relief — HIMSR explicitly states no MBBS fee concession.

Admission Tips

• Verify HIMSR’s inclusion and seat count in the MCC 2026-27 seat matrix before Round 1 registration — do not assume 150 seats without official confirmation
• Muslim Minority candidates: prepare the affidavit in advance using HIMSR’s prescribed format (download from himsr.co.in); delays at reporting can cost the seat
• Track the Supreme Court / NMC developments on HIMSR status via himsr.co.in public notices and the MCC website
• Fee payment is by single DD or single RTGS/NEFT only — no part-payments; arrange finances before reporting day
• Prior appointment for reporting is mandatory — email admission@himsr.co.in as soon as you are allotted

Final Verdict

HIMSR occupies a genuinely rare position: a private NMC-approved medical college inside Delhi, with a NEET closing rank that is meaningfully competitive, and 75 seats specifically for Muslim minority students by birth. For the right candidate profile — minority category, or General with a Delhi preference and a rank around 23,000–55,000 — there is no other comparable option within NCT Delhi.

The constraints are real: ₹16 lakh/year is high (₹72 lakh total course tuition), the hospital capacity is moderate, and the 2025-26 NMC complications create a verification imperative. None of these are dealbreakers for the right candidate, but all require eyes-open assessment before accepting the seat.

Critical action item: verify HIMSR’s 2026-27 NMC seat count at nmc.org.in and mcc.nic.in before any counselling decision. Fee confirmed at ₹16,00,000/year from official 2025-26 HIMSR fee notification (himsr.co.in).
