Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences (SVIMS), Tirupati, has released its official admission prospectus for MD/MS postgraduate medical courses for the 2026-27 academic year. The prospectus outlines all rules, regulations, fees, mandatory bonds, documents required at admission, and the complete framework for candidates allotted seats through either the All India Quota (MCC) or the Andhra Pradesh state quota (Dr NTRUHS). SVIMS offers 67 MD/MS seats across 21 specialties, with 29 seats under AIQ and 38 under state quota. This is a critical document for every candidate who has been allotted a seat at SVIMS—missing even one requirement can lead to rejection or cancellation of admission.

What SVIMS Offers: Seats, Specialties & Quotas

SVIMS Tirupati offers a total of 67 MD/MS seats across 21 medical specialties for the 2026-27 academic year. Of these, 29 seats are under the All India Quota (AIQ)—filled through MCC counselling—and 38 seats are under the Andhra Pradesh state quota, filled through Dr NTRUHS counselling.

The specialties include both clinical and pre-clinical disciplines: Anesthesiology (9 seats), General Medicine (9 seats), Radio-Diagnosis (7 seats), Radiation Oncology (7 seats), General Surgery (4 seats), Orthopaedics (4 seats), Pathology (3 seats), and single or dual seats in Anatomy, Biochemistry, Community Medicine, DVL, Emergency Medicine, Microbiology, Nuclear Medicine, Ophthalmology, Otorhinolaryngology, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Pharmacology, Physiology, and IHBT (Immuno Haematology and Blood Transfusion).

SVIMS also operates SVIMS-Sri Padmavathi Medical College for Women (SPMCW) in Tirupati, which has an intake of 175 MBBS students and participates in the same PG counselling process. Candidates allotted to either campus must fulfil the requirements of SVIMS University in addition to those of Dr NTRUHS or MCC.

Complete Fee Structure: What You Must Pay & When

The total fees for MD/MS at SVIMS comprise a one-time university fee and annual tuition and other fees. At the time of reporting for admission, you must pay the fees in three separate demand drafts (DDs), each drawn in favour of 'The Director, SVIMS, Tirupati' and payable at Tirupati. The DDs must be drawn on or after the commencement of the admission schedule.

**First payment (at admission):** Rs. 25,600 as the university fee. All India Quota candidates pay this by DD; state quota candidates pay it to Dr NTRUHS. **Second payment (at admission):** Rs. 18,800 (10% of tuition and other fees), which is non-refundable. **Third payment (at admission):** Rs. 1,69,200 (balance of tuition and other fees). If you slide to another college after allotment, the Rs. 18,800 paid under the second instalment will NOT be refunded; the remaining fees will be returned.

**Annual fees (2nd and 3rd year):** Rs. 1,86,000 each year will be deducted from your monthly stipend. The annual fee breakdown is: Tuition fee Rs. 1,75,000, Library fee Rs. 5,000, Registration fee Rs. 2,000, Sports & Cultural Activities fee Rs. 1,000, and Medical expenses fee Rs. 5,000—totalling Rs. 1,88,000 per year.

**Hostel and deposits (if applicable):** Caution deposit Rs. 10,000 (refundable, paid at joining), Hostel deposit Rs. 5,000 (refundable, paid to hostel authorities), and Hostel Corpus fund Rs. 5,000 (non-refundable, paid to hostel authorities). Hostel accommodation is provided on a first-come, first-served basis and is not guaranteed to all students.

The Two Mandatory Indemnity Bonds: What They Are & Why They Matter

Every candidate admitted to an MD/MS course at SVIMS must execute two indemnity bonds on non-judicial stamp paper worth Rs. 100 each. These bonds are legal documents that bind you to financial penalties if you violate certain conditions. Both bonds must be submitted on or before the date of commencement of the course—failure to submit them will result in your admission being cancelled.

**Indemnity Bond-I (Discontinuation Bond):** This bond commits you to pay Rs. 3,00,000 (three lakhs) if you discontinue or cancel your course at any time after admission. In addition to this penalty, you must also refund the full stipend amount you have received from SVIMS up to that point. This bond protects the institute against candidates who drop out mid-course.

**Indemnity Bond-II (Compulsory Service Bond):** This bond commits you to work in the post and pay offered by SVIMS for a period of one year after successful completion of your course. If you refuse to join the post offered or fail to complete the one-year service, you must pay Rs. 40,00,000 (forty lakhs). In-service candidates (those already employed in a government or private institution) are exempt from submitting this bond.

**Critical requirement:** Both bonds must have two sureties who are gazetted officers working in either the state government or the Government of India. Each surety must provide a copy of their Aadhar card and PAN card along with the bond. The bond proformas are provided in Appendix-I of the prospectus. Failure to arrange gazetted officer sureties or to submit the bonds on time will result in cancellation of your admission.

• Bond-I: Rs. 3,00,000 penalty + full stipend refund if you discontinue the course
• Bond-II: Rs. 40,00,000 penalty if you refuse compulsory service after course completion
• Both bonds require two gazetted officer sureties with Aadhar and PAN copies
• Bonds must be on Rs. 100 non-judicial stamp paper
• Submission deadline: on or before course commencement date
• In-service candidates are exempt from Bond-II only

Monthly Stipend: How Much You Earn & Important Conditions

SVIMS pays a monthly stipend to all admitted MD/MS candidates for the full duration of their course (up to 36 months), provided they maintain the required monthly attendance. The stipend is paid directly and is subject to your monthly attendance record. In-service candidates (those already employed in a government or private institution) do NOT receive any stipend; instead, they draw leave salary from their parent institution.

**Stipend amounts by year:** 1st year: Rs. 96,951 per month; 2nd year: Rs. 99,722 per month; 3rd year: Rs. 102,493 per month. These amounts are current as of the prospectus date and may be revised by SVIMS from time to time. The 2nd and 3rd year fees (Rs. 1,86,000 each) are deducted from your stipend.

**Important:** Your stipend will be stopped immediately if you fail to register with the Andhra Pradesh Medical Council within one month of joining. Registration is mandatory and is a prerequisite for attending to patients in the hospital. Without registration, you cannot perform clinical duties, and your stipend payment will be suspended until registration is completed.

• Stipend paid monthly based on attendance for up to 36 months
• 1st year: Rs. 96,951/month; 2nd year: Rs. 99,722/month; 3rd year: Rs. 102,493/month
• In-service candidates receive no stipend
• 2nd and 3rd year fees deducted from stipend
• Stipend stops if AP Medical Council registration is not completed within 1 month of joining

Compulsory Service & Bonds: One Year of Mandatory Work After Course Completion

After you successfully complete your MD/MS course, you are required by Andhra Pradesh government order (G.O.RT. No. 144, dated 20-04-2018) to serve in a post offered by SVIMS for a period of one year. This compulsory service must begin immediately after course completion. During this one-year service, you will be paid an honorarium (a fixed amount, not a salary).

**Exemptions:** In-service candidates (those already employed in a government or private institution) and candidates who are selected for super-speciality courses (DM/MCh) are exempt from compulsory service.

**Penalty for non-compliance:** If you refuse to join the post offered by SVIMS or fail to complete the one-year compulsory service, you must pay Rs. 40,00,000 (forty lakhs) as per the indemnity bond. Additionally, any unnecessary delay in joining without a valid reason will result in execution of the bond and withholding of your degree certificate. This means you will not receive your MD/MS degree until the bond is settled.

**Important:** The compulsory service bond (Indemnity Bond-II) is a legal commitment. Before signing it, ensure you understand the terms and are prepared to fulfil the one-year service obligation. Consult the prospectus and the government orders (G.O.Ms. No. 251, dated 02-10-2022) for complete details on the conditions of service.

• Compulsory one-year service in SVIMS post immediately after course completion
• Honorarium paid during service (amount as per government orders)
• Exemptions: in-service candidates and DM/MCh selected candidates

Critical Trap: False Certificates & Admission Cancellation

⚠️ **This is a major trap that has caught many candidates.** If any certificate you submit at the time of joining is found to be false, forged, or not genuine by the competent authority at ANY TIME during or after your course, your admission will be cancelled and your degree will be revoked. This applies even if the certificate is discovered years after you have completed the course.

Additionally, if you are found to have supplied false information, withheld information, or concealed certain facts in your application or during the admission process, you will be debarred from continuing the course. Your name will be referred to the National Medical Commission (NMC) and the Medical Council of India for further action, which can result in permanent damage to your medical career.

**What this means for you:** Ensure that every certificate you submit is genuine and issued by the authorized body. Do not attempt to use provisional certificates where original certificates are required. Do not alter or modify any document. If you have any doubt about the authenticity of a certificate, clarify it with the issuing authority before submission. The consequences of submitting false documents are severe and irreversible.

• False certificates = admission cancellation + degree revocation (even years later)
• Withheld or concealed information = debarment from course + NMC referral
• Ensure all certificates are genuine and from authorized bodies
• Do not use provisional certificates where originals are required
• Do not alter or modify any document

Hostel Accommodation: Availability, Rules & Penalties

Hostel accommodation at SVIMS is provided on a first-come, first-served basis and is NOT guaranteed to all students. If you are allotted hostel accommodation, you must stay in it—the institute does not permit students to arrange their own accommodation outside the hostel. If accommodation is provided, you are required to occupy it.

**Hostel rules and penalties:** You must vacate the hostel within seven days of completing your course. If you fail to vacate, a penal rent of Rs. 100 per day will be charged for bachelor hostellers and Rs. 200 per day for married hostellers.

You must not participate in strikes, protests, or any form of agitation during your course. You are not permitted to criticize the institute's policies in print or electronic media or anywhere else, as this amounts to dereliction of duties.

**Performance evaluation:** Your performance will be evaluated periodically by a committee. If your performance is found to be unsatisfactory, the institute has the right to extend your training period, detain you, make you ineligible for the final examination, or remove your name from the rolls of the institute. Violation of conduct rules can also result in cancellation of your admission and invocation of the bond terms.

The affidavit format is available on the website www.amanmovement.org. This affidavit must be submitted at the time of admission and is a mandatory document.

Mandatory AP Medical Council Registration Within One Month

This can create severe financial hardship and can also result in your course being terminated for non-compliance.

**What to do:** Contact the Andhra Pradesh Medical Council immediately after joining and submit all required documents for registration. Do not delay this process. Ensure you have all necessary certificates and documents ready before joining so that you can complete the registration quickly. If you have any doubts about the registration process, contact SVIMS administration at the contact details provided in the prospectus.
