Regional Institute of Medical Sciences Imphal

The Regional Institute of Medical Sciences in Imphal, established in 1972, was created to serve the north-eastern states, and that regional mandate still shapes it: MBBS seats are shared among the north-eastern states, making it the primary medical institution for many students from the region. Its hospital is Manipur's main tertiary referral centre, so clinical exposure is broad and the caseload includes conditions characteristic of the Northeast. The institute holds a NIRF rank of 43 and an A grade from NAAC, with MBBS at the core and postgraduate general medicine and nursing alongside. Imphal is a compact valley city; connectivity to the rest of India is mainly by air. Fees are at government levels. It suits students from the north-eastern states above all, offering serious public-sector medical training close to home.
