Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Medical College

Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Medical College is Rajkot's government medical college, run by the Gujarat government with its teaching hospital serving as a referral centre for the Saurashtra region — and the breadth of patients that role brings is the college's main educational asset. MBBS, postgraduate medicine and surgery, and nursing make up the offer, with admission solely through NEET counselling at government fee levels; competition for seats is correspondingly sharp. It holds an A grade from NAAC and a NIRF rank of 81, uncommon recognition for a regional government medical college. Rajkot is a sizeable, affordable city with a strong local economy and good rail links across Gujarat. It suits Gujarat NEET candidates seeking low-cost government medical education with early and heavy clinical exposure, accepting public-hospital working conditions as part of the bargain.
