Dayanand Medical College and Hospital Ludhiana

Dayanand Medical College and Hospital is among the better-known private medical institutions of Punjab, combining a teaching college with a large tertiary-care hospital in the middle of Ludhiana. The hospital functions as a referral centre for much of the state, including a prominent cardiac institute, so students train on a caseload that spans routine district medicine and advanced speciality work. The college holds a NIRF rank of 40 and an A grade from NAAC. Its academic spine is MBBS, with mature postgraduate departments in general medicine and general surgery and a nursing college attached. Admission is through NEET at private fee levels. It suits students who want hospital-anchored training in north India, value a charitable-trust institution with a long local history, and can manage private-college costs.
